 Dude, i love it when critiques go well for me. I'm always so unsure when i finally go to hang my work on the wall- having people scrutinize your stuff is nerve-wracking, i always see tons of tiny things that no one else would pay attention to that i kind of wish i would have changed. But yeah, it certainly helps that my painting teacher thinks i'm awesome, she talks about my stuff like it actually achieves a purpose! And i have a theme in series with all my other work as though i have found a direction in the past year! And technically speaking i know how to paint! You almost might say that i have done something important in school! I guess it's about time, considering I GRADUATE IN MERE MONTHS.
But man, just imagine if i spent time on paintings other than the night before they're due. I know, the thought scares me too.

Whenever i stay up all night doing homework (AGGGH PAINTING), i usually check the internet at random intervals for a break. But when it gets up to 4 and 5 AM, people stop posting to livejournal or messageboards or wherever. I, however, forget that these hours are not NORMAL for... regular human beings who sleep, so whenever i check and there's nothing new, i always think "GOD, WHY IS NO ONE POSTING? I NEED SOMETHING TO KEEP ME ENTERTAINED." And then i remember how late it actually is. HELLO, normal hours are for suckers!
Why the FUCK did Nickelodeon stop showing Full House at 5 AM? I WANT TO WATCH FULL HOUSE. The X-Files is on, but it's not as good for a background show. Sitcoms and the late night shows are ideal.
It's kind of sad that i'm so used to this that i have a routine.
EFFING PAINTING, WHY WON'T YOU FINISH YOURSELF?

So after our plane got in last night, i slept at home, got up this morning, then drove for two hours to go straight to class. All i have done today is go to school, waste money on art supplies, and sit around. It has... sucked. BUT ANYWAY. Arizona was lovely. Drier than the very bowels of hell, but pretty and mountainous and cactus-y! Seriously. That was a lot of cactus. And it's fun spending time with my family when we're not getting pissed at each other, we have some good times. (never has more fun been had taking pictures of a sign for "Dickman's Meat". DICKMAN'S! MEAT!) It just makes it immensely depressing to come back and have to go to school, when for the past few days all i've had to get up for in the morning was... hanging out! Sightseeing! Driving around! Maxin' and relaxin'! Ugh. Real life continues to SUCK.
I will not, however, miss having to sleep in the same room as my dad's snoring. JESUS CHRIST AND ALL THAT IS HOLY, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO UNCONSCIOUSLY MAKE SO MUCH NOISE AND NOT WAKE YOURSELF UP? I will forever be confounded. But for now- sweet, sweet silence.

I'm leaving for Tucson, Arizona tomorrow evening- my dad has a meeting there, so we turned it into a short family trip. Only one week back at school and already going on vacation! (and i was just in New York! Man, i'm such a jetsetting hipster.) Of course, i also have to leave here to drive home immediately after class tomorrow, and drive back here immediately after returning late Monday/early Tuesday to make it in time for class, which leaves me approximately... NO TIME to do anything. Looks like that painting that's already due next week will just have to WAIT. Anyway, i'm pretty excited, i haven't been to Arizona before. I should probably... start... packing.
Unfortunate consequence: missing BSG on Friday. NOOOOOoooo. On the other hand, i've been having something of a Star Wars renaissance the past few days (I MISS THE LINE) and am looking forward to listening to the prequel soundtracks on the plane.
I'm a fucking nerd.

Coming home from New York is probably the most depressing thing in the world. Real life blows. I can't believe how hoooooot it is here (EIGHTY. IN JANUARY.) and... just... BLEH. Humidity is disgusting. There was SNOW up there! I got to be in snow for only the third time in my entire life! And i actually partied for New Years instead of just sitting on a couch with my parents! And also there was Star Wars! Snow and Star Wars and alcohol and New York and references to Lazy Sunday every five seconds!
So i'm... gonna go... weep.
