Classes are over. In the last day of Life Drawing today I drew what may well be my best piece this entire semester. My paintings (finishing 2 "in-class" works that need to total about 8-12 hours' work, finishing 1 "homework" "interior landscape" that's already 75% finished, and doing a 3-hour drapery painting) aren't due until my 10:15am meeting with Stuart on Thursday, May 15. My final project in Sculpture I isn't due until final crit begins at 11:30am that same day. I'm going home either after final crit (ends at 3:00pm) on Thursday or early Friday morning. Since I'm storing Blick's stuff (as Blick is going home before storage begins), I don't have to worry about emptying the fridge super-early. Gilly is coming down on Sunday to visit Tom. Watching of Heroes, playing of Guitar Hero and other random awesomeness will commence. As Scott and Tom are both seniors, they're staying awhile. And I have a new Magic deck with which to play. One of Gilly's friends is a dealer at Otakon. All they have to do is work in the booth for 4 hours and they get free registration. This makes it SUPERLIKELY that they can come. The freshies are staying as long as I am. There will be Whedon-marathoning. I just bought my mom a Mother's Day card, stamped it, and put it in the mailbox. I also bought myself some chocolate because yay. I am in such a state of :3 right now.

Man oh man. I hope yesterday/today isn't an exemplar of how the rest of the week is going to be. I will be dead by next week. I can't even remember what I did after class Monday. I painted in class! Landscape. It was nice. --Oh OH oh I do remember! Landscape sketches. After that... uh. No real clue. Was Monday HAY LET'S TALK ABOUT OTAKON 8D 8D 8D day? Eh. Yesterday, went to Life Drawing. We did portraits instead of body studies--and holy shit, I am really proud of the portraits I did. Lawrence's is off in a few places (I think I blame that on my apathy stemming from steaming hatred of the model), but Alice's is perfect. I can't wait to capture a digital image of it and put it up in my galleries. It's so beautiful. Didn't check in in Sculpture I--didn't care enough. Stayed in the drawing studio instead to do the landscape sketches (from the window) I hadn't done earlier. Got back in at the room around five, passed out until 11:30pm. Spent the next nine hours painting. Yes, straight (but for the three times I got up to clean my palette). It was so worth it, though. Still life: gamer geek edition. GameCube controller, deck of Magic: The Gathering cards, and two sets of gaming dice (plus an extra pair of d6s). It looks fucking gorgeous. From a distance of about six feet (which takes care of the slightly blurred edges), the controller looks photorealistic. The cards and dice fall into that at about ten feet. I am impressed with myself, not to toot my own horn. Again, can't wait to get an image of it. If only I'd painted it straight on the canvas. It's on matte medium-prepped art paper, which is slightly less awesome than it could be. Still, so getting this framed. I--I kind of want to put it in the living room in our apartment next year. Man. I love it so hard. It's so damn pretty. Anyway. After I got everything cleaned up, it was about noon, and I passed out until class at two. Took the still life in for final crit--everyone loved it. They were all "I WANNA PICK UP THAT CONTROLLER AND PLAY SOME NINTENDO :D :D :D" and more than half of them recognized the Magic deck for what it was. c.c I talked to a kid named Alex--the only male in our painting class--for awhile. Man was he fun to talk to. Got his number and promised to find him on Facebook. It's a shame he's graduating. Must keep in touch with him regardless. So I came back to pass out, but was... sort of awake. Stopped in to see the freshies. Ended up going with them, Tara from Life Drawing, and Tom into town. Ate a pretzel dog and a cinnamon-sugar pretzel from Auntie Anne's; Tom and I split from the freshies after a good chat to head to Legends. Tom and I had planned to buy/split a booster box from the new Shadowmoor set--but instead of the $70 we'd been expecting, they were pricing it at $109. :| Yeah, no. Neither of us had that kind of money. Yet, we both ended up buying Shadowmoor precons. c.c He bought the blue/black; I got the green/white. Hohshit. The cards in this thing are fucking phenomenal. I also bought a booster of Lorwyn and two of Saviors of Kamigawa. Got better cards overall in each Saviors pack than I did in Lorwyn, amusingly enough. Played a game against Tom in the store--doing so when you buy a precon saves 10%, so hey, why not. Lost. Not quite spectacularly, but man I saw some stuff I should have done fifteen seconds too late in at least three instances. I blame braindeadness. Stopped in GameStop on the way back. Managed to walk out empty-handed, though at different points I had a $20 brand-spanking new copy of God of War II in my hands, as well as used copies of Sly 2: Band of Thieves and Summoner 2. THEY WILL ONLY GET CHEAPER and I need to save my monies. I am proud of myself. (Also I should maybe beat the first in each of those sets of games before going to the second. e.x I own Sly and Summoner and Blick's got GoW. Guh.) Ran into Scott on the way back. Talked Pokemon, Magic, and Otakon. I--guys. If there is a semi-tall, lanky Rock Lee running down the halls of the convention center screaming SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH! over and over again--that's Scott. Lawd. So the point of all this is that I have been arting like a crazy person and I've now been up 23.5 hours. Granted, I needed the brain break in the form of socialization (I'd been getting pent-up and kind of passive-aggressive the last couple days), but man. If the rest of the week is like this I will die. Okay. It is naptime. Or watching the rest of Stranger Than Fiction (again) time followed by naptime. Snooooooze plz.

( Cut for AWESOME SPAM of AWESOME. )EDIT FOR GREAT JUSTICE: So. Uh. How are we getting to Otakon, guys? XD I am totally willing to drive from home to Baltimore by myself or with anyone else. Loni could fly straight to Baltimore and Juggie could fly from PIT to BWI, or I could fly Loni into Pittsburgh, go pick up both her and Juggie, and then drive to Otakon. BWI and PIT are almost equidistant from me, regardless. c.c So uh. What's cheaper for you, Jugger, flying to BWI or chipping in for gas? :| CLEARLY WE NEED TO BRAINSTORM SOON. EDIT 2: OH SNAP. Loni plane tickets drop in price like $50 if I fly back Monday instead. By sixty-five if I fly back Tuesday. o_o; I THINK I will be negotiating a week off from my work. 8D The loss in pay over a few days is worth the price reduction, the extra time with you guys (<3) and the safety of my sanity. Oh yes. (Plus I can totally fill in the lost time with commissions. Whut.) Edit 3: Steve Blum: Star Wars: Battlefront II as various Rebel soldiers I KNEW IT.

There is food in the fridge.You have no idea how awesome that is. We have real food. Meats and cheeses. Seriously, we got like six kinds of deli meats and two kinds of cheese and fresh fish and god the snack food and soda for like ninety bucks. (Also we finally bought Ziploc bags and Gladware that ramen will fit in in its full brick form. Less annoyances.) ( Oh, and also. (Rooming/apartment talky below the cut~) )I could not possibly feel more glee at this moment about next year's housing.

Have another meme. Labeled "Cryptodietetics" by ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) darkhaunter, from whom I stole this. List three things you eat routinely that are strange or unusual (compared to what you think others eat), and then encourage your friends to do the same. Let's see who's the strangest: 1. Saltine-brand Saltines (original, full-fat), spread with chive-and-onion Philadelphia cream cheese (also original, full-fat), covered with part of a slice of American cheese (preferably Schwan's brand), and topped off with a single large, green, pimiento-stuffed pickled olive--Mario brand if you can find it. This is quite possibly my favorite snack food of all time. 2. Chocolate soda. Any plain, dark cola (Pepsi and Coke work, though I prefer to use Royal Crown or occasionally Doctor Pepper) mixed with a squirt of Hershey's syrup, or part of a packet of hot chocolate mix. Both are easier to mix with room-temperature soda. 3. You know hot pickled cauliflower, particularly Bell-View brand, and how they're flavored with those tiny, super-super-ungodly-hot red peppers stewing in the pickle juice (the same kind found in General Tso's chicken)? The peppers lose just enough of their potency during pickling to not hurt you, and I tend to fish them out from between the cauliflower and eat them so no one else can have any. If someone would sell jars of those peppers pickled, I'd buy a gallon. I also drink the juice from any jar of sour, dill or hot pickled anything. (I'm also told my eating French fries with mayonnaise is weird. I don't think so, which is why that's not listed. Though I also eat them with horseradish sauce, barbecue sauce, and any mixture of those two and/or mayonnaise -- and also sometimes sprinkle them with Old Bay seasoning. Alone or in addition to one-or-more of those sauces.) TRY SOME OF THESE. YOU'LL LIKE THEM. (Also I tag everyone to do this meme. Subliminal message.) Tags: food, meme, try this!
