Mark your calendars people! I will be having a gallery show w/my bf at my school, San Jose State University (in the art building) on Nov 13-17th.  Please come on reception day, Nov 14th 6pm-8pm.  There is free food at every gallery in the building (5 galleries).  Our pieces will be in the Black Gallery on the 2nd floor (the gallery is in a corner).  If you don't come during the reception, galleries are open from 10am-4pm and there is no free food.  Feel free to come : ).

I'm not sure if anyone reads my xanga or xanga much in general anymore. but i'll post it for the heck of it. i've made (with much help from my bf) my 7 years of procrastination art website!

a very mild & creamy smoothie:

4 oz rasberry yogurt, banana, pear, a lot of ice. (i think to punch it up, throw in a few strawberries)

sweet nectar!:

2 nectarines, 1 orange, ice  (this one is more like a juice. tastes like orange juice with a nectarine after taste.)

I'm spending a little too much time at school now.  Each week, there are about 3 days that i'm there till 3am-5am.  Sometimes I start seeing the sky get lighter by the time i go to bed.  But it's nice that some of my friends are there.  Some people bring in a blanket, pillow and sleep in that building till their next class...

Oh, I won a can of chunky chilli and a cloth award saying "grand champion" from one of my classes for this animation i did.  It's weird that i almost never win anything and now that i do, it's a can of chilli. i should put the chilli in the animation lab.  it'll come in handy.  ok, hw time.

Recipe for the week:

fuji apple, strawberries, pineapple yogurt, orange juice, banana (optional), ice

I make such drinks 'cause they're fast food.  It's kind of scary how good I'm getting at this.

I spent the last 6-7 hrs animating a frikkin ball drop.  now i have to go draw more.  thank you.

Today, I put makeup on my 35yrold teacher.  He combed his hair into a bun, put flowers in it, put on a skirt and red lipstick. I lined his eyes and gave him a unibrow.  Oh yea, this is to impersonate Frida Kahlo.  These are probably some of the few things that keep me sane while hw kills me and takes away my sleep.  Now I realize why illustration/animation majors cuss so much and are crazy.  Why?  too much work/stress, not enough sleep, critical teachers.  This is my life for the next 4 years.

But weirdly enough, I'm happy.  Happy that my classmates are cool.  Happy that people believe in me.. that my teachers believe in me (a lot of times i wonder why).  that i'm meeting insanely good artists that also compliment me (which i also question).  that i'm working my ass off to get better- is it working? i think so.  i sure hope i'm not dying for nothing.  I guess my art isn't so bad.  But i've been getting mini-lectured on being more professional... accepting compliments w/out objections; giving reason to things that have no meaning...  tough

After tomorow, spring break starts. YAY!!  I still have a lot of work to do, but thank God it's a lot less than when i go back.
