i have found my old

♥ Comments (1) ♥

i have found my old box of cassette tapes in the basement and went thru them to throw some in my car. i have managed to find some tapes i made from 1992, 1994, 1996 & 1998 good lord. i forgot that i used to make covers from collages from old Sassy magazines...hence such unforgetable titles as:

DEBBIE GIBSON IS NOT YOUR MOTHER’S TAMPON
MAPS IS SPAM BACKWARDS
CAN A BIG ZIT ON YOUR NOSE KILL YOU?
DEBBIE GIBSON ATE THE MALL
six six six teen!
bark! bark!
and various others…

as i listen to them i can hear my various stages of music i listened to through out the years...my hardcore stage....impel, cave in, botch etc....my pop punk stages...screeching weasel, all, descendents...rock music..jawbox, archer’s of loaf, superchunk, and i can’t forget my small ska phase back in 1994..scofflaws, let’s go bowling, etc etc....i even found some old manchester music such as CAST, and primal scream and some old stone roses cd maxi singles.

i was most happy to find this old copy of a rem tribute album called suprise your pig....with jawbreaker covering pretty persuasion..j-church covering don’t go back to rockville...tesco vee’s hate police covering losing my religion, jawbox doing low & when people were shorter and lived by the water covering i believe.

i went out to wal-mart tonight and was amazed at the amount of people still shopping for crap for xmas...people were running around throwing anything into their baskets..it was scarey....i just picked up a pair of socks, some wooden buttons, and some stuffing to make a sock dog, i saw these in the martha stewert’s kid’s magazine.

i must go dance now to shonen knife’s COBRA vs. MONGOOSE!  BIIIIIIIG FIGHT! BIIIIIG FIGHT!

there you go enjoy..these by the way are from a photo communications project called EIGHTEEN (hours) nov. 18th 2002...it documented an 18 hr day with a main photograph as the hour and 3 one inch thumbnails that were 3 moments within the hour, timestamps, and emotion color grid. i bound it using chipboard, brown mailing tape and nickle screw posts. it’s currently on the 9th floor of 623 s. wabash in the display case.

okay now i can’t stop

♥ Comments (1) ♥

okay now i can’t stop buying little extra gifts for everyone!! this sucks..i went out today for lunch with a friend and afterwards i manage to find about 6 more little trinkets and baubles for people...arg.

i have the burl ives song “have a holly jolly xmas” stuck in my head..it’s either that or the winter wonderland song.

i was laughing because someone said they wrote a song about their favorite typeface..this person is a type nerd after my own heart! and puns about how their x-height turns them on is just FANTASTIC.

i should be going downstairs to meet with Kevin Cassidy about my final project for Photo Communications. i want to use some overt sept 11th imagery and george w imagery in my visual representation of Walter Benjamin’s essay “art in the age of mechanical reproduction” i have the epilogue which is all about: war as spectacle and how the masses are just watching what gobvernment wants you to watch..basically spectacle.
i must go to the 8th floor now.
caio.

♥ Comments (0) ♥

i’m finished with my xmas shopping (almost) are you? actually i still have ONE MORE gift to get. actually i have a small pile of gifts for joy, but i still have yet to get her a nice main gift-gift...and i run into a slight problem..her birthday is 4 days before mine...and i don’t have a b-day gift for her yet either...arg.

speaking of that i have about a month left of being 29 years old. i will turn 30 on january 16th. at least this year i won’t have a final from classes on my birthday. usually every year for the past 3 years i’ve had some sort of final exam or final critique on my b-day. 30 i think isn’t going to be so bad..it just SOUNDS like alot hen you say it. i don’t know..!!!

today there was a note

♥ Comments (0) ♥

today there was a note up at work...my boss was ACTUALLY complaining that plastic spoons were getting expensive...and not to use them as much as possible. ummm this would make sense if she didn’t buy them at sam’s club where it costs her FIVE DOLLARS for 300 spoons...how ridiculous can you possibly get?? oh wait i forgot this past summer she threatenend not to get more water for the water cooler because people were drinking MORE water than usual over the month...so we drank 5 of those giant gallons on the water cooler than 4 as per usual.

can’t you seem to find something better to waste your time complaining about??? it seems everywhere i go everyone is complaining...school, work, home, out shopping, in the streets..it never seems to go away, the other day i finally felt like iw as in the christmas spirit and it has all been sucked away...my parents are whining about me oweing them 183$ still and if i don’t pay then i get nothing for christmas...so it looks like i am getting nothing fromt hem this year...and i feel like putting in as much effort on their shopping...bah.

tonight i had a call at work from a lady who lives in one of the gary apartment complexes we page maintence for...apparently the maint. man had called in to let us know that cokplex 3456 was going to be without water for 3 hours while he took care of a backing up sewer...30 min’s go by and i get a call from some woman who thinks the universe revoles around her...she literally wanted him to turn the water BACK on so she could finish her dishes, SO HER BABIES WOULD HAVE CLEAN DISHES....ummm ooooookay...she was swearing up and down at me and demanding a supervisor..i told her i’d page a manager for her and when the manager called back and tired to call her she wouldn’t even bother to answer her phone. people are so lame, and waste everyone’s time.
i’m spent.

today i got an email

♥ Comments (0) ♥

today i got an email from a very close friend of many years, who lives in Indianapolis. She used to work with me when i lived in Bloomington, IN. Her name is Kelly and she is simply the best. You know how you can be having the crappiset day EVER? and just someone’s laugh or smile can bring it all back home for you? this would be Kel. She is also responsible for calling me jenjen over the years...and how i miss it.

work, homework, school. rinse and repeat. i feel like i am in a perpetual spin that will never stop. altho i do have to find time to get over to the ART INSTITUE of CHICAGO...they are having a renaissance exhibit with some Michelangelo sculptures that have never left italy...!!!

i think i am finally sleeping better. i managed to not wake up once last nite. and i finally feel alot better today...this is the first time i have felt like that in about 5 weeks.
