So they invented the snarfblat to make fine music. Allow me

Yesterday was my second day of doing nude model life drawing in class. This time, we had this really large woman, but she was actually pretty cool cuz she was super friendly and didn't seem to have any problems wandering around naked. We all joked that it was such a beautiful day and how it was a shame that we couldnt do the class outside. The model lady said "hey, if you cover me in white plaster people will think I'm a statue." She was a lot nicer than our first model. We progressed into doing the one hour poses and I think I like those much better than the really quick 1 minute or 5 minute studies. I'm still a little squirmish thinking that the guy model is coming on Tuesday, but I guess I've got to get used to that type of thing...and not stare too much. I had to turn in my entire portfolio of work from the whole semester of drawing yesterday too. I don't think it looks very impressive. There's a wine label contest open to the fine arts majors I was considering entering, but it's due on the 30th so I'm not sure if I'll have the time.

I'm going to register at COC for a few classes over summer in case I dont get a job, including a Maya Animation class, Dreamweaver, and Interactive Website design which goes over Flash. It's really important to get better acquainted with the software, especially Maya. I have this normally $3000 dollar program and it's a shame if I don't know how to do a lot with it. Never get into Pixar that way. hehe.

I got all excited about the Amnesty International film showing of a movie called "When the War is over" about South Africa. It's not a subject I know much about and I was looking forward to it so I show up at the given time and I barge in on a class full of students taking a test. I was kinda loud about it too, so the professor glared at me and then I left and wandered around confused for a long time. Some kids looked at me like I was crazy when I said I was looking for the film screening. I came back to my room, double checked the email, and turned out that it had been the day before and I had completely missed it! ARG. Anyways, hopefully more events will be coming up, but i was really bummed about that.

Later that night I went to hang out with Brigitte at the Catholic Center....geez, for a girl who isn't Catholic I'm sure there a lot! It was some kind of dinner/social and there were a bunch of people there. I had like, 4 glasses of wine and after not drinking for months I was amazed that it actually affected me. We were going to have cigars (one of my long time, as of yet unrealized goals) but it didn't happen. One of these days I'm determined to try it. I'd also like to try a pipe like my grandpa uses...just once!

Jessica, your sock is mine! muahahaha i have a very heavy ransom
