I never remember my dreams.

But when Sam called me at about 5:30 this morning (I'd only been asleep for about two hours,) I must have been dreaming about my Core class. I had to find my way through a tangled mess of plaster and chicken wire to find the phone under my pillow. I got up to use the restroom and while sitting on the toilet (as all magnificent ideas come to those sitting on toilets,) I was thinking about how I could clear all of that plaster and wire shit out of my bed so I could actually breathe and sleep comfortably, when I suddenly realized that it was just a dream. The plaster and chicken wire didn't exist, and the only reason I couldn't breathe was because I still have that monstrous cold. Then I was severely confused, and when back to bed with some cough drops.

The End.

S E T ! ! !

Saturday night, when Jeni and Robert were over, I made them play SET with me. Jeni, after returning to her room that night, found SET's official website and sent me a link. I was uber excited; it was the highlight of my entire week. That game is wonderful.

Better yet, the site has a daily version where you have to find six sets in the twelve cards given. Weekly, winners are drawn for a prize! Which is another game by the same company.... I WANT TO WIN IT! It doesn't look quite as good as SET, but I think it'd be fun to try.

Anyway. I rarely show enthusiam for anything, so you should know this must be an amazing thing. If you haven't played this game before, come over here NOW and learn it.

Oh, and here's the website for the daily game/contest: SET Daily Game


^^ the super-cool background I downloaded from the Official Site (and then edited in photoshop)

Zaz!


p.s.- six more days until I go home !

Art School Confidential

wasn't a very good movie. The company was nice though.

I think I'm sick. Sore throat, headache, exhaustion, over-all icky feeling, yeah. Just a cold I'm sure; I'll stop whining now.

I can't wait to go home. I don't know if my fish will survive a month without me. I need to buy a timer for their light and those tablets that feed them for a few weeks or whatever. I hope they make month long ones... I'd be quite upst if I came back and my fish were all dead.

Assuming I can come back. My account is still on hold and the financial aid office is ridiculous. They don't know what they're doing in there. I here something different every time I go in, and the last email I got from them said they've never seen me come in at all! I must now spend my lunch brak tomorrow walking over there, yet again, to see what's new. I know all of the good classes are full by now, but I'm hoping I'll be able to register at all at this point.

It's the last week of class (except for painting, of which there are two more)...I'm beginning to stress out a bit. grrr.

I need to go draw. I have work to do.

Adieu.

And Why is the Bible Better Than the Quran?

I'm not one to post political stuff, but this made me laugh. Some poeple are such stubborn jackasses, they think only their tranditions and religions make sense.

As he prepares to become the first Muslim in Congress, Rep.-elect Keith Ellison says the Constitution gives him the right to take the oath of office on the Quran, and that's what he intends to do Jan. 4.

...The "argument" against it:

"When all elected officials take their oaths of office with their hands on the very same book, they all affirm that some unifying value system underlies American civilization," Prager wrote. "If Keith Ellison is allowed to change that, he will be doing more damage to the unity of Americans and to the value system that has formed this country than the terrorists of 9/11."

Yeeaaaahhh. Riiight.

Taking an oath is nothing more than a symbolic action anyway. If He's not Christain, what symbolism does the Bible hold? That's pointless. Gah. I don't think I need to comment any more on this. It's simply ubsurd.

Read the article here.

Uhhh. Untitled.

Ummm...so those little cluster of tree-like things in the pictures in the previous posts are tiny castle-ish things. The photography is a bit shitty. I apologize. The only camera I have at the moment is on my phone.

We had the last visiting artist for the semester. Which also means the last free dinner. But this time was nice. The artist was Cat something. I already forgot her last name. But her website is here: http://www.microrevolt.org ...so go to it.

My current work has no purpose or meaning. I just want to paint. Is that bad?

Now that you know what a blog is...

Dear Sam,

Just in case you decide to take an interest in my random rants and posts, keep in mind that if I'm complaining about some aspect of our relationship, it's just a release for me. Ya know?

I love you, and I always will. Despite our problems.

And I can't wait to see you. I miss you terribly.

Yours,
Me

One more thing tonight...

It snowed today! Like crazy. I loved it. It made me not mind waking up at eight to go to class. Here's some pictures from my phone:





I'm Confused.

I had a headache today that hurt so much I couldn't even cry until I was feeling better. I think I've been taking to many pain killers lately. I vary them...aspirin one day, tylenol pm, excedrine, naproxen (or whatever) the next. I used to be able to take a nap and wake up feeling better, but lately that seems to make it worse. Oh well.

Back to the confusion...

I'm confused about Sam. But that seems to occur just as often as those headaches. Hmm. I suppose if anyone reads this he/she will perhaps wonder what confuses me exactly, but that I, too, am confused about. So I can only leave it there.

Plus I'm pmsing badly at the moment, so it may be a good idea for me to keep my mouth shut for a few more days. I was once asked how anyone can trust a living thing that spends a week at a time bleeding without dying from it. I wonder that myself sometimes...
