No Cannoli

 






I looked up and I realized that I had not said anything in about a month.
Time passes by as quickly as ever.

I've settled into my new college routine this semester, but I'm still pretty bored creatively. I don't think I've drawn anything seriously in nearly a year. It's...incredible really- how school manages to siphon everything out that's not work-related.

In fact, it's gotten to the point where I've begun to spy on the Art department. In plain sight, of course.

"What's going in that classroom?"
"I wonder if anyone is better than me?"
"The abstract art in the gallery is really awful, I hope this isn't the only thing the professor teaches."
Those are a couple of thing that have been running through my head since last year.

We have three floors in the main Liberal Arts building, and all of the English, Literature and Humanities are housed there.  The second floor of this building a hub that connects Science and Math building to the other half of the campus. This hub is the "gallery" of sorts that I'm referring to- where most of the student art work is concentrated.

Picture the big, glossy dobs of circles and the striated lines that you usually see in business offices and internal medicine centers. Long, muted canvases of blotchy landscapes and primary colors.

Whenever I pass by them, they always install this sense of inner-emptiness and melancholy because they lack human or recognizable subjects. Really terrible fare.

I'm hoping I can change that gallery by next semester, or at the very least, make it a bit sunnier.  Everyone seems to be depressed enough without them now that the first and second batch of test scores are starting to roll in. The on-again, off-again cold weather isn't helping much, either.

I'm as unfocused and lazy as ever.  And I can't help but think that I'll slip into the future just easily as I've slipped into every other stage of my life life- unhurried and rather bored.

I'm going to change this layout. Just you wait...
After 6 long years, I think it's time I moved on.

Internet cake for everybody.


RJD2- 1976 (hip-hop)
"I saw a lady falling, I'm sure now."

Tokyo Police Club- Nature of the Experiment (indie rock)
"We've got our tracks covered thanks to your older brother. It's not the moonlight that sets me off..."

I Was a Teenage Satan Worshipper- Go Home, Pandatron (electropop-dance)
"I know it's all in my head these days..."

The Birthday Massacre- Nevermind (industrial rock)
"Now, in smaller spaces- careless, lust-intoxicated; away from prying eyes and rabid smiles (and everything's shattering)."

Celldweller- Stay With Me (Unlikely) (industial rock)
"Though some say I will heal over time, it doesn't seem too likely."

Kagrra- Kamikaze (alternative rock-fusion)
"Damasu fukou yori damasareru hou ga shiawasesa. Kiben makichirasu mina de hako no mukou watteru..."

Apostle of Hustle- Energy of Death (indie rock-experimental)
"Calm the south: a drug, a deep memory... Well, we vowed to end our mother's misery..."

I suddenly thought of the microbiology building we have on campus..there are textured paintings of massively magnified cells, bacteria, viruses, and other small biological schtuff. They are really neat--at first you think it's some abstract thing but then you realize--"Holycrap! That's AIDS!!"

Although, not really...that was the biggest painting of an egg covered with sperm that I've ever seen, however.

LOL!
A big painting of AIDS would be much more interesting than the stuff we have up on display.
It's so bland in there. .___.

Sperm egg is also interesting!

LOL the art at uta is terrible..then again the art people and the engineers are separated by cooper street so we don't get to see much of them anyway.

as for Alive all the videos are ones from people in the crowd or from tv broadcasts. There is no dvd sadly enough as i guess daft didn't want to make one..
BUT there is an LE version of the "Alive" concert CD thats out of print..*pulls out from magic hat*..yea i have it..and its a mini book with 50 pages of concert photos and you get a video with extra mixes... overall from what i have read about is that they took the triangle concept from the "technologic" video and they toured the world with it...then music wise they pretty much remixed and revamped every thing to produce insane mixes...cause thats what it sounds like LOL...i shall post some goodies...

as for school..im trying to have more fun this semester...and i hope to have the summer to goof off..*crosses fingers*...AND ive been playing all those damn games of mine...i finished Crysis and Portal!! now im on to HL2EP2..then back to bioshock..then to rainbow six..then rainbow six two..then (well yea ya get the hint)....

Thank you for the uploads!

I'm playing Bioshock right now, actually. (It's harder than I thought. :O )
Crysis looks really nice, is it any good?
I still have not downloaded Half Life 2:Ep 2. I am a heathen. lol

I look forward to summer, too. Not only for free time, but because it also means the end of Geology class. ^^;

Woo! I've started playing Crysis (well- finishing Crysis, anyway! ^^;) and it's pretty cool!
I know! I've had it set everything on low/medium to get it to run smoothly. o_0
Strangely enough- Bioshock runs just fine on normal settings. I'd expected it to take more resources to run, but it's never choked on me like Crysis has... Weird!

Hi Amber!!! XDDD 'Whatcha up to?
