HALLOWEEEEEN 2010

I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling.... OW

Captain Jack-O-Latern

Gotta get BACK IN TIME!

Went back in time to see "Back to the Future" then we came back to the future.
Just another day in Joisey.

I don't have a drinking problem

I have a ridiculous amount of beverages. Mmm, I'm thirsty...

Freaky

Came home from Geometry with a surprising amount of energy. So much so that I went to Target, made brownies from scratch, cleaned up that mess, took Gizmo for a long walk around and out of the neighborhood, did my homework, made dinner, and carved a pumpkin. Afterward, I got a migraine and passed out before 1am. That's what I call a freaky Friday.

A meal fit for a king

If you love tomato soup, I recommend you go to Cosi and get a cup of their tomato basil soup. I think they changed the recipe because I don't remember it be this good before. And I loved it before!

My Background & Layout Design instructor, Mr. Schwinger is not only extremely talented in his field, but he can also make incredible drawings on the white board with shitty dry erase markers while the class works. It's kind of distracting because it's so awesome. Plus, he reminds me of Larry David with a raspier voice. Needless to say, he's rad. It's probably a good thing I have him for two out of three of my dreadfully early morning classes.

Autumn falls

I can't think of anything that dies as beautifully as a leaf.

Too much rain

It needs to stop raining on Tuesdays. It is lame.

Hi Bill

Not going to be many more days in 2010 for this kind of study session.

Keep on truckin

HI PHILLY BYE PHILLY! SEE YOU TUESDAY!

Just another magic Thursday

Lindenwold Station at about 7 o'clock in the morning

3d Modeling Principles about 4 o'clock in the afternoon

the end.

Philadelphia Phreedom

Beautiful day in the neighborhood

Jimmy Eat World @ the Electric Factory

C'mon, don't eat the world, Jimmy. Remember what happened last time?

Delish Sunday

I made some delicious spaghetti. Just another one of my many talents, people!

Happy 70th Birthday, Johnny Boy xo

Despite the drama of the day, I'm going to draw focus on something positive. Though, it's kind of bittersweet. But today was John Lennon's birthday. Would have been his 70th. And so, here's some lovely pictures of him. Just a small gesture of honor to my idol, my inspiration, and my life love. And I don't care what you think of him! That's my message to the haters! And more than likely he never did anything to you so don't be so judgmental! I better chill. He's the poster boy for spreading peace and I'm getting ready to fight for him. Without any further adieu, happy birthday, John. Wish you were here!

Thursdays make me ill

Another day, another picture of Gizmo.

Yeah, another one.

It probably seems redundant to post another portrait of Lady Gaga, but I actually did this one prior to the last one I posted. This one I spent more time on and used a higher quality paper on. I really liked how it came out so I replaced an old portrait I'd framed that wasn't very good of her with this new and improved one. I don't know where I'm going to hang it in the apartment. One day I'll get around to it!

Mean old rain

The battle of good and evil!

Fall Quarter 2010 BEGINS

Had a pretty long, annoying day at Ai dealing with all manner of administration and registrars. The first day of classes is hectic and they weren't kidding about it being worse the start of Fall Quarter. That being said, I did a lot of waiting. While I waited I sketched this. Some kid asked me, "What class is that for?" and I said, "It's not.." While that was a quick, brief exchange, it dawned on me as time passed that that was a pretty stupid question considering it was the very first day of classes. I suppose by that time of the day I could have had a morning class, but it's pretty unlikely. I don't know. Maybe it wasn't the dumbest question in the world, but I felt it was kind of silly. Despite the annoyances, I survived and got everything I needed to accomplish done. So, all in all, WIN!

Gizmorella

Gizmo went to a ball. His fairy godmother made sure he was clean and polished. His fairy godmother is NOT me. I don't give baths! I'm not his slave! PFFT.

Then midnight struck.

Despite some people's bad decisions to stain their floor rather than coming to Lindenwold to hang with yours truly, my mother had the good sense to do so. We went to Cherry Hill and had a classic mother-daughter shopping expedition. I used the rest of a gift card on a sweet little coat and clutch. Other than that, we kept our spending to the bare minimum. But only because things just weren't to our high standards. We're extremely snobby and expect the best of the best. Yup.

After we went to the 50's themed Silver Diner across the way to have some dinner. As many 50's themed restaurants, they have little jukeboxes at every table. Supposedly, if you put money in the box and push in your jukebox selection, you get to pick the track. I don't know if I believe this! Is there any proof of this? I know that I've never heard my selections be played so I'm not sure I believe it. I kind of think there's shenanigans going on. I don't know. What do you think?


After dinner we went home and hung up my curtains that had been sitting in my hope chest waiting for action since I moved. Putting up curtains is a serious commitment to a place. Not as much so as painting the walls, but it's still pretty serious. Yeah, things are getting serious.

By the way, I love my mom. xo

Ghost dog and turkey sandwiches

Didn't do a whole helluva lot today. So, to make the time pass, I turned Gizmo into a ghost. Are you impressed? You should be. I did this without killing him. Can you deal with that?!

Later on, Jamie had a mad craving for some Panera Bread Turkey Sandwiches. Unfortunately, they got rid of those for a limited time basis. That basis being one night. Jamie has no luck. But after a lot of deep thought, I got an apple as my side dish and it was an excellent choice. One of the best apples I've had this season. The incredible Mediterranean Sandwich wasn't bad either. No turkey necessary! Some people just make better decisions. NO NAMES

Hi October

Sympathetic Dawg

This is how Gizmo feels when I have a migraine.

Yep. He cares. He aches for me! ACHES!

B-more Happy!

Adventure day! Jamie and I went down to Baltimore to visit the Walters Art Museum. When I left Lindenwold it was sunny and the further south I went the crappier the weather got. But weather isn't an issue when you're visiting a sweet art museum so it did not deter as at all! It's a pretty sweet museum not only because it's got a ton of amazing art, but there's free admission! Can't beat that! After exploring every inch of that museum, we went to the Baltimore Hard Rock to eat some dinner. We had never patronized that Hard Rock so we were treated to lots of cool rock and roll memorabilia. We were also treated to some entertainment thanks to a school field trip. Bring a field trip to your local Hard Rock and an insta-party will break out. It was wild. and loud. Real loud.
Then we took a walk around the Harbor. It was nice. It's a nice little area. Lots of jobbers. Lots of deaf homeless people. But also a lot of nice scenery. It was nice of the weather to clear up for that part of our trip. I guess I shouldn't say the weather never did nothing for me. Hmm. After it got dark, we departed Baltimore, land of the Ravens and Coca-Cola. Jamie tried to kill us, but tir na nog!

This day got lost

Spent the day doing something I haven't done since February. I spent the day playing guitar. It might have hurt a bit, but it was good. It was one of those days where I got up, got dressed, and started playing and suddenly it was 8pm. Hadn't showered, hadn't eaten, and hadn't barely done anything but play and sing. Well, I did take Gizmo out, but there's no getting around that. I haven't had one of those days in so long. It felt good. I can't believe how fast that day went. Ah well. It was good for my soul!
