Listening to a playlist of live performances of Mysterious Production of Eggs tracks.
We're supposed to watch Un Chien Andalou Today. Fucking finally.
The charger in this wall doesn't work. Makes me sad.
So last night I had my evaluation with Jason Dunda and we talked about the normal stuff you would expect for a while and went on to talk about my project. We talked about having a clique of artists who can talk to one another seriously about work, about how us artists kinda need that to learn about what we're doing and that it's good for Tim, Danielle, Jordan, and I to have that. As for the project, I'm going to stop thinking about creating something. I know what kind of thing I'm going to make; an illustration of a proposal, a la Claes Oldenberg, but for the next couple days I'm to think about what a roadside attraction is, why it is, how it functions now, and other questions within that realm.
I was going to watch Taxi Driver in class, but I don't have the battery for it.
I'm going to put a poll up on my page. What about, I know not what yet.
Last night Julie and I watched Michael Jackson's HIStory On Film Vol. II. It was great. Tonight I'll either watch Lost Highway or Mystery Train or both. Tim and Julie won't want to watch Lost Highway. It's David Lynch, and they're not quite fans...yet. Mystery Train is Jarmusch, so maybe they'd be more into that.
Yesterday my Willendork sculpture was very well recieved by my Core profs and TA's. Their basic comment was something along the lines of "Yeah, okay, do that," when telling them I just had to make a mold in algenate and cast it in something. They recommended Hydrastone.
hum dee dee, what else has happened lately?
Shot some color film for Film as Capture. Just some studio work. I need to come up with an idea to propose for my final in that class.
On Tuesday I visited Jason with Tim and he told us of the now infamous Zebra Teabag. Girl who likes to draw things draws a zebra with teabags floating in space around it. When presenting her work, she shows this drawing on a powerpoint presentation and labels it by typing out "ZEBRA TEABAG" over the image. She has no idea how genius that was, and she probably won't stumble anywhere near that brilliant soon. Additional images included Elephant Ice Cream and Illustrator Mommy.
+Finish Willendork and build shelf for it.
+Think about roadside attractions and come up with idea for project by Sunday night
+Come up with proposal for final Film as Capture project. (I think Tim will be involved in the final piece.)
I wonder what an appropriate tattoo for me would be.
Oh yeah, hanging out with Tim, Jenni, and Jordan in Pilsen this weekend. Gonna be a blast.
