Safeway sushi

That's what I had for supper. It tasted like mayonnaise, mostly. I may be sick tomorrow. Right now I'm looking at the nutritional information on a package of Wasabi paste. Calories: 10. fat Cal.: 10. Total fat: 0g. That's pretty perplexing. How can there be 10 calories from fat in something that has no fat in it? This is going to bother me all night. Really.

I sprayed some fixative on the drawing I spent a week on, and now you can barely see it. That high-pressure aerosol spray blew the chalk away, and I'm too weary to fix it. It didn't even do a good job. The stuff that's there still smudges. Oh well. At least it's done.

I think you peeps should come to ACAD, if only for the shows. The Forty-part motet is still there (as far as I know), and just as spellbinding as ever. For people who don't know, it's a room with forty speakers lining all four walls. From each speaker comes a single voice, each singing a unique part of the same song. As certain parts begin and end, the sound travels across the room in all directions. It's pretty awesome. There's also a show being put on by 3rd and 4th-year design students, and it's impossible to just walk by without looking at something. Those kids are taught how to make things eye-catching, and by jove, do they ever do a good job. There's even a robot cowboy. You just can't pass that up. Of course, I haven't visited the building in a week, so all this may be gone already. I guess I'll know by tomorrow.

I have a new friend at work. Someone I actually TALK to during my long, harrowing shifts. I think his name is Brian, but I'm not sure. Brian or Steve. He kind of looks like an otter or some other lesser mammal, and he tells jokes that are only funny because they're not funny at all. He seems like he should be a maritimer because of the way he can keep a conversation going, but apparently he's from the Southern States. He didn't specify which state, though, which makes me a little suspicious. Funny thing: after being there for only two days, he's already doing a better job than me. I guess I shouldn't be too jealous, but still it surprises me.

That's all I have for today, folks. Keep smiling.

Anna Nicole Smith

You know what's shocking? I never knew that Anna Nicole Smith was a Playboy centrefold. In fact, I had no idea who she was, even though I'd been hearing her name for well over ten years. I just assumed she was an actress or something. Her name became one of these buzzwords of popular culture. And it's crazy that although her name was all I knew about her, I still stared in disbelief when I heard that she had died.

How does this happen?

Some pictures from my sty-dio

See...it's like a studio...but messier?



I've got everything I need. Also, product placement.



This here is what I'm drawing...



And this here is a crappy photo of how I'm drawing it.



I guess that concludes our tour of my sty-dio. I hope it taught you a little about life, a little about love, and maybe, just maybe, a little about yourself?

Everything is illawesomenated

Guess what dudes and ladies? I'm tired as all crap and I've still got a few hours to go. Awesome. I like how I still haven't caught on to this whole "going to school" thing. I'm only taking one class and still I'm barely scraping by. I don't regret my dinner with Eve and Kes for a second, but man...it would be nice to be able to do that sort of thing without scrambling to finish my homework the next couple of days. All nighters are pretty great, but I'd rather not have them every week.

Oh goodness, 15 minutes is up. Gotta go back to work! ahahaaaa...
