i wish i was half as good as any of these arists :)

so, i think if my calculations are correct, and if i take two online/distance ed. classes this summer, all that i will have left to do before i have what i need to graduate will be one field trip to chicago and then one art history class.

i'll graduate from uni with a degree after first term in december 2010. i'll have just turned 21.

whoa.

dream team

i read somewhere that you can only have dreams about things you know. (this is what i read in a list of "facts" about dreams: In our dreams, we only see faces that we already know. Our mind is not inventing faces – in our dreams we see real faces of real people that we have seen during our life but may not know or remember. We have all seen hundreds of thousands of faces throughout our lives, so we have an endless supply of characters for our brain to utilize during our dreams.)

therefore anyone who is in your dream who you've apparently never seen in real life actually is someone you've seen in real life. your mind picked up their image even if you were unaware of it. i don't really see how this is true. why wouldn't our brains be able to create a person from scratch that we've never met or seen (consciously or unconsciously) before? artists can create people out of their imaginations and create them as an image on canvas. why couldn't we do the same in dreams. i've also seen a lot of creatures, monsters, rooms, places, things, etc. in my dreams that do not exist in real life.

just a thought.

the past three nights i've been having the strangest creepiest dreams. i've decided to keep a dream journal, see if i can figure any of them out. look for similarities.

nipples

it's odd that as long as a woman's nipples are covered by something, it's like she's not REALLY topless. almost, but not quite.

if i ever got a sleeve, i would be perfectly happy with this one. so beautiful. i think i'm going to be a crazy bird lady when i get old. like the chick from home alone 2. i'll walk the parks with bird seed over flowing from my pockets.

bird bird bird you are the word.


owl love you always, because you're a hoot. (har har)

this video is fantastic! ready, able by grizzly bear, directed by allison schulnik.
i may be biased because i love her hobo clown painting and i think it's wicked that she's brought it to life.
