Pushing Daisies: Chuck in green on roof


A very merry Christmas to all, and if you don't celebrate it,
then happy holidays!

I'm currently back in sunny southern California for my winter
break and shall be going back to NYC on the 10th. So far I've
been fairly productive in regards to doing stuff and seeing people
while I've been home, which has only been a few days. Back in NY
I had the fortune of experiencing the winter snowstorm that equated
to my first snow. Quite magical. Besides that there are many other
things which I have happened which I should update here, but will
do at a later time. I've already lucked out on Christmas Eve in regards to gifts.

So, I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday, and if you're on break,
may that be fun-filled and relaxing. I for one am enjoying the stress-free
end-of-the-semester feel.

Oh, and I gave in and made one of these, or at least until I tire of it:

Ask away.


May you all eat lots of good food, sleep in, and
spend time with loved ones!
Merry Christmas!

OM NOM NOM NOM, Thanks Aunt Lee!
I was quite surprised when the two packages that arrived today were neither my Vietnamese coffee maker nor my band jersey, but in fact a package from Arizona and surf city back home. I was perplexed by the shoebox arriving from AZ, but apparently Aunt Lee stocked it with delicious homemade cookies and popcorn. And from home, homemade toffee from my gran's neighbors which she sent me in a Christmas goodie bag. I feel so loved! (Also got a nice Starbucks giftcard from my other aunt for the end of the semester crunch.)

-Raining here again, but the rain is pretty.
-Somebody stole my canvas yesterday. While I was right across the hall. I could go off on a tangent about this, but I'll leave it.
-Guilty pleasure purchase of Evangelion action figure is an extremely guilty pleasure purchase
- Went to Brooklyn last Friday with some friends for an indie rap show. Hung out at the bar beforehand. Very chill, very fun.
- wood project is fun. Getting a little too comfortable with the giant mechanical saws and whatnot.
- It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas here
- I kind of don't want to go back home for the holidays. Or summer.
- GIANT MOLESKINE. My art desire is back but unfortunately at the time where the workload is getting insane.
- Craving True Blood.

Now now, time to tackle this NAKED LUNCH ESSAY.

skulls
- have a ton of work to catch up on
(night oil painting, gestural oil painting, digital painting, philosophy essay, art history essay, woodwork sketches, reading the most heinously boring text known as "The Proud Tower," read "To The Lighthouse," Naked Lunch Essay, drawing homework...all within about 3-4 days. Wish me luck and lots of energy.)

- getting a little sick (can't miss any more days or I'm fucked)
- got lost on my way to the Brooklyn Bridge late at night. Walking down empty Wall Street by myself. Encountering creepers. Cop picks up on me. Not fun.
- that being said, once meeting up with people on the bridge, it was was good time. Drank vodka. Chatted. The view is amazing. Froze my hands off. Walked to Brooklyn. Late night subway rides.
- saw another man exposing himself to me down the block. I don't have good luck with this sexual harassment thing.
- going to a show in Brooklyn the day after Thanksgiving (Knitting Factory)
- plaster sculpture was a success
- need more money. Need to buy more supplies.
- been hanging out with the dudes a lot watching "Escape from New York" and "Escape from L.A."
- went to see painting teacher's opening show last night. Walked back with friends and hung out in Madison Square park drinking shakes
- our floor perpetually smells like pot
- stressed
- nice visit to Time Square and Bryant Park
- numerous other NY things.
- karaoke in K-town tonight? Could either be the best or worst idea.

Not feeling so hot lately.

It was far colder today than yesterday, but my classmates and I got up early and went around to get our exhibition sketches done. We had a nice brunch in Soho and thoroughly enjoyed one exhibit that had a machine which punched holes spelling any phrase or word of your choice (that fit) onto a poster sized paper (I was nerdy and got my character's name, "Baine.")
When I came home...I had a dream that there was a picture of me topless and in a bikini bottom in my high school yearbook. I don't know why I initially thought it was ok - it was something along the reasoning of, "you can't really see my boobs because they're too tiny," but then afterward in the dream, I realized, holy shit, I was naked in the yearbook. But then it turned out to be my mom...AND THAT WAS SOMEHOW BETTER?!

Tomorrow I'm going to the Metropolitan with Ji, and then we're going to go Halloween shopping, art supply shopping, and get our party tickets.

In relation to the oil (night) painting I was talking about in the previous post, I have an art blog (tumblr) account here where I update (rarely, but trying to do so more often).
It's a quick preliminary sketch I did tonight to get a general feel of what I wanted to do. It'll probably be too ambitious what with midterms, time constraints, and projects coming out of the wazoo in a couple weeks, but it's something I want to stick with and finish eventually. In the meantime I want to figure out how this scanner built into my printer works, because taking pictures of art with the camera phone just makes everything look atrocious.

(Hmm, no, that sketch is not inspired by one of my nerdy, guilty pleasure preferences. Not inspired at all. Why do you ask?)

Incredibly tired. Going to Soho tomorrow morning for more museum sketches. I started my plaster sculpture - I'm excited. We have to do a night oil painting which I'm also excited about. Political History midterm Monday. How fun. I want to go to Central Park this weekend to see all the leaves changing colors, maybe get a few feathers.

It's also bad when someone probably has the hots for you, always wants to hang out and has introduced themselves multiple times, and you still don't remember their name.

/is not that sorry
