Gray Sock Mystery

This gray sock. I have never purchased a gray sock. So. Did it arrive mysteriously in the laundry in a stunning reversal of a 10 year sock loss trend? Or is this an intermediate stage of white sock life?

See the Sea

I have seen the worst movie ever. Not in terms of how it is shot- that part is beautiful. Everything else is totally insane. It is called See the Sea, and it is French. If you have Netflix you need to watch it. You will not be able to believe it.

Finished

Writing papers always takes such a long time. And at the end you know crazily much about some subject no one else has ever even thought about.

Pictures Worth A Thousand Words

But I didn’t have my camera. Pickup with Homer Simpson doll sticking up out of the back right corner of the bed. Chubby, bald 50 year old man in a beat up maroon Miata with vanity plate saying: HOT STUF. Another pickup spray painted matte white and painted with the Psalms in various bright pinks [...]

Yo Mama

I love this. she was down on her knees and the girl wasn’t prayin’

“Finished”

The last PBJ of the semester, thank all the gods.

Fish Stick Drawing Mystery

I found this masterpiece in my drawing pad: How did it get there? Who drew it? Is my love of fish sticks no longer secret?

Neverwhere

It’s impossible to read this book while eating. Something actively disgusting or just atmospherically so happens on every page. It seems like.

Deep Thoughts

I was thinking it would be fun to do a series of paintings that only appear properly with 3D glasses. And then I could hand out glasses to people who come to the show. Maybe that’s what I will do for my thesis. Or it might be fun to do it, and not tell anyone, [...]

I Just Love This

A guitar with breasts and wings. It is some kind of crown or tiara. I have no use for such an object particularly as it must cost more than a few dollars. A shame, or perhaps not really. I think I’ll look into it though. Part of the Radford BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) graduation [...]

Another Dietary Failure

Oh, well.

Oh, Nextel

In the ongoing saga of the phone, I got a reply to my complaint on Friday that my phone seemed to have gone insane. My complaint through customer service email: Original Question: phone is jacked up Question: Phone will not make or receive calls. It just says “Ready” on the screen. If I try to [...]

RIP Phone

Over time, my relationship with this phone soured. For two years it cut out unexpectedly and refused to work properly inside my apartment. I threw it at things- mostly concrete surfaces- in rages prompted by this behavior on its part, taped it back up, suffered its 20 minute battery life for at least a year. [...]

Something Ugly On A Hill

What pleasures await? A new Wal-Mart? Massively inconvenient satellite parking located 3 miles from campus? The construction site has its own kind of beauty with the eroded, furrowed red earth. But I liked the grassy hillside better, and I am sure I am going to like the hillside better than whatever they put here, which [...]

Ghetto Piano Arrangement

Not the right height exactly but overall not too terrible. Yamaha YPT310AD. Cheap and with simulated weighted keys. The sound is good. Unfortunately it has no harpsichord voice, this having been replaced apparently by an accordion voice which I am sure I will be using a lot. I feel the urge to purchase a guitar [...]
