happy earth day.

depended on how I am and what I do...
How would I be?
What would I do?"

soul-searching.

the other day in class we had to do, ahem, soul collages and this is what i came up with. it seems pretty right on.

"i can't, i have finals."

i've been doing too much work-work and not enough school-work and definitely not enough art-work, so i'm going to have to take a little looking-at-the-internet break until i catch up on all that i want and need to-do. boo-hoo.

cake un-ltd.

i spent most of last night searching through job sites looking at available surface design positions and desired qualifications and i got so so excited and so so scared! i have a meeting with my advisor this afternoon to talk about my classes and just how i can learn everything i want/need to while i'm here in grad school. all this thinking about post-graduation has me wishing for some nice business cards to hand out to future employers...but what to put on it???

pattern enthusiast?
creative thinker?
color lover?
future surface designer extraordinaire?
i'm really nice and cool and i'll draw beautiful flowers and other stuff for you if you'd like?

hm, maybe that's too wordy.

{i forget
where i found
this best and
most thorough
business card
ever...}

"play it real pretty."

not of the white man, not of the black man.
that will be the day of man as man."

remembrance of things past.

"as soon as each hour of one's life has died, it embodies itself in some material object, as do the souls of the dead in certain folk-stories, and hides there. there it remains captive, captive forever, unless we should happen on the object, recognize what lies within, call it by its name and so set it free." marcel proust, contre-sainte-beuve 1954

hip, hip, hooray!!!

two views.

the first picture is of savannah's city hall. it's got a golden dome and i really wish that it had come out in the picture, but i think that it was too bright out. i still find it so strange that i live in a place where there are palm trees! the sign was pointing down an alley. across the street there was a man painting a house and i really wanted to take a picture of him, but i got too shy and now i really wish that i had. when are they going to invent glasses that take a picture of things that you want to remember forever? i always just say in my mind "i want to remember this forever" but when i try to recall those images i can't. maybe someday.

inner reaches.

i heard someone ask "what is your spirit animal?" my immediate thought was "pumpkin". i wish i knew what that meant.
