¡Hola! from Argentina
It's kind of crazy here. Joe and I went to a natural history museum today where all the displays must have been sitting there for at least thirty years. Some of the information cards were so faded and yellow that there was no way of guessing what was once written. The museum also had this thing for armadillos. Afterward, when we were waiting at the bus stop, we saw some older man get pulled off a bus and beat up by this group of guys. They left him alone once some women started yelling at them. It was crazy though. He must have said something to make them mad, but the guy just wandered off like it was something that happened to him all the time. Then there are these amazing moments when we go out to wander the streets of the little town we're staying in and the dogs and children are out playing in the street and the old men lean in their doorways to watch the day go by. I can't help but love it here. Also, we're staying in the home of Ruth and Sergio. Sergio just yelled "GOOOOOOOAL" really loud, because his team scored. |

Apparently attempting to fix my toilet was the best idea I ever had. I ended up shattering the entire thing. The lady I rent from freaked out and gave me a thirty day eviction notice. That lead me to find a room with this cool guy I know from school. It's probably three times the size of my old place, I have my own room, the rent is $75 cheaper, I get to keep all my pets (I currently have six animals ranging from an 8 foot boa constrictor to a tarantula.), and it's in the heart of Pasadena, not half an hour away in Temple City. I'm excited. |

Not Sleeping?
I've only had 30 minutes of sleep in the last 28 hours, and totally aced my english midterm this morning. Now I have to just stay awake until 2:30 tomorrow afternoon. I have a calculus test, and I haven't even opened the book yet for this chapter... I have a lot of studying to do. Current Mood: Surprisingly GoodCurrent Music: Cigaro by System of a Down |

If anyone needs a place to stay, let me know. I need to find a roommate and it's only $275, so yeah. Also some kids were selling lemonade on the side of the road while I was riding my bike to school. I got some and it made me really happy. Current Mood: head acheCurrent Music: The Chimbley Sweep by The Decemberists, |

I'm having a show
So I'm having a show in the PCC gallery the week of July 23-29. It's pretty sweet. We get a $400 budget, mostly for the postcard invitations and for catering the reception. If you want one of the postcards, even if you're not going, just give me your address and I'll send you one. It ends up I have to share the space with one other person, but it's still considered a solo show. Most of my stuff is sculpture anyway so I'm pretending her paintings aren't there. Also, I am finding myself becoming "quietly infuriated" by uneducated people (not as much that they don't know facts, but that they can't think critically.) I'm waiting for the day I snap and kill one of them. Hopefully by then Anthony will have already done something about that issue. By the way, I spent last week with Anthony. In a period of about fifteen minutes or so he used the words remorse and manic. I proceeded to ask my mom how he was doing in school. He received perfect grades, the kid he tutored in reading was the most improved in the class, the other students actually fight about who is his best friend, and truthfully he does not care for a single one of them. He asked my mom if there would be anyone like him in Utah. The sad thing is there won't be. |

So the guy that I'm going to start sharing my apartment with is coming by today to check things out for the first time. I only just realized how crazy I come off if all you look at is my apartment. I have a wax fetal pigs and chicken embryos made from cheese on my desk. There is an assortment of dead animals in my freezer. I found one of my snakes just hanging out in a bunch of towels(she had been missing for a couple days). One of my ice cream cartons has a face carved into the ice cream. And it seems each one of my sculpture projects that are scattered around have to do with death and decay or being restrained and entombed. I decided i really like my apartment. |

So my calc teacher admits that he wants to grade the students he likes easier than the other students, and he says that if your test is one of the last test he grades he'll probably grade yours harder just because he's tired. The thing is he doesn't do anything to try to keep the grading fair and he doesn't care for me, because I don't talk in class and I'm not asian. So I have to work harder for the grade I deserve... that sucks, because I'm already running myself into the ground. But what ever, I do what I want, cause I'm a whale biologist.

So I'm testing some stuff out for next semester's sculpture class. The theme I want to work with is abrupt sounds, smells, and/or movements. I totally took this chocolate stuff that the pastry student who lives in front of me gave me and put a fire cracker in it. I'm so inspired now I can't wait for class to start. It was like... is anything going to happen... then BAM! chocolate everywhere and it smells like fireworks! I can't wait till I'm seriously mangled by one of my projects. Then my body would become my art. Current Mood:  contemplativeCurrent Music: The Vandermark Five |

I don't believe that I'm almost 19
I found myself pretending I was a secret agent trapped behind enemy lines today. I ran through the forest behind my grandparents house making sound affects; fighting off the bad guys with my sweat rocket launcher (A stick). I swear I'm four years old. |

Trapped in Utah
Just found out my ex-uncle, who is a geologist, is living in Ireland right now and is now married to a volcanologist. I think I'm going to have to re-adopt them as family and go see some volcanoes. Current Mood: numbCurrent Music: Ryan Adams, Love is Hell |

For the imaginative: You're laying there looking at the stars
Without closing your eyes you picture yourself there, just laying. Then you start to move backward. You see yourself growing smaller and smaller until you body is lost in the night and all you can see now are the lights that dot civilization. You continue moving backward faster and faster. The earth begins to drift away. The moon passes and you can see the sun with the fringes of its light marking the beginning and end of each day. Faster and faster you go. The sun is now indistinguishable from the billions of other stars that fill the Milky Way. Passing galaxy after galaxy traveling light years as if they were but a moment in time; your reaching the edges of space. Stellar nurseries are birthing stars all around you, but then you stop. You have passed the expansion of space. You turn around and look into the darkness and wonder if there's anything beyond it. Thinking you might wait for space to catch up, it strikes you. Your just laying there wondering whats holding you down. Current Mood: satisfied |
