Hey. I had some fun last night, hanging out with Lauren. We were both tired and stressed and relaxing last night helped a lot. Tonight I think we’ll do more of the same. Probably some pizza and a movie, that sort of thing. As for the moment, I’m gonna play a little Civ III, finish matting my pictures for Color class and take a shower, though I’m not sure in what order any of that will happen. Sorry to keep it brief but I’m hungry and I think I’m going to go make some lunch. Later.

Well, I’ve had quite the day. To start with, last night, Lauren asked me if I would like to help out with a volenteer program called MOPS. It’s for “Mother Of Preschoolers” who need a day off. Its something Lauren volenteers at regularly but they needed extra help taking care of the kiddos this week. So at 6:30 I got up, drove downtown to meet Lauren and Hallie and headed off. It was actually quite fun. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be much help since I don’t exactly know a lot about kids. I know they cry and drool, but beyond that I’ve only met a few who were mild tempered. I was pleasently surprised today though. We were taking care of the 2 years olds and there was about 6 of them. They were really pretty well behaved and only cried for a few minutes when their moms left. Other than that they laughed and played and I had a good time playing game with them as well. Kids rule… well, unless they’re “screamer” which we luckily didn’t have.
After getting home, Lauren and I decided we were hungry and headed around the corner to the pizza joint. We split a chicken calzone and it was quite tasty. So tasty in fact, that I have a second calzone waiting in the fridge for dinner tonight. I also got to play the old Galaga arcade machine they had in the corner. I soundly trounced the high score before our meal came. I’m a dork, I know it.
After that I headed back home to grab my 3D project and headed to class to turn it in. The teacher seemed pleased with it and even donated some spray acrilic to finish it off with. So, I finished up that, turned it in and headed home.
Lauren should be calling me shortly and we’ll probably head to the mall since she has some shopping to do. After that I plan to come home, eat my calzone and go to sleep. I’m tired. I got up at 6:30 today and 7 yesterday and I didn’t exactly go to bed early on either night. So, it’s time to catch up on some sleep. Later.

Wheeee! I’m done my 3D final. It sucks. A lot. But it’s done. I don’t really give a shit about the class or the assignment, but I’ll probably get an A or B on it anyway. I also picked up my matte board and worked on my digital final. So… for the next 6 days, all I have to do is slide a few prints into already cut frames and print out a final version of my digital piece. Ah, life is good. Now… if only I wasn’t broke.
You know it’s sad when you walk around your room thinking “I wonder what I can pawn?” I think I might get ride of some more CDs when I’m home on break. I have a collection of around 300, but I only listen to 70 or so. The rest are things like old Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, that kind of early 90’s crap. I think I can get a few bucks for them at Newbury Comics. We’ll see.
Whoops… got to run. Gotta jump in the shower and get downtown to Lauren’s. Later.

Ok, a proper post this time. Things in Color went well. I did fairly well on my test, got some work done and reprinted a picture I noticed a mistake in. After that I rewarded myself with Chex Mix and a soda. Yah. I guess I’m still sitting here typing because I really don’t want to go home. Going home means going back to more work. It also means going home to bills that haven’t been paid, a dirty kitchen, no clean clothes and a computer thats become to slow. Poop. There is an upside though, tonight Lauren invited me over for dinner. Yah! Lauren is really pretty good in the kitchen and usually whips up something very tasty. My stomach thanks her. Otherwise I’d be eating waffles and frozen burger patties tonight. Probably combined together in a “waffle-burger sandwhich.” Which, if you’re broke like me, can be quite tasty if you’re hungry enough. Oh well. Time to go I suppose. Later.

What a gray day it is. Damn the weather. I’m broke. Damn money. My knees hurt. Damn the Milford High Ski Team for four years of athletic abuse. My knuckle is sore. Damn my 3D carving tools. I have to go to the mall to pick up my matte board. Damn the mall and damn retail. Most importantly… Damn the man. Damn him for taking my money, damn him for creating momuments to commerce like the mall, damn him for my lack of effort in this post today. :-p
