*Blowing Wind Out My Mouth

I'm bored.

I don't REALLY have a whole lot to do. Yes, I know I need to work on my installation, but I will finish that up tomorrow. I'm in a bit of a funk right now. I want to go out and do something, but I'm not motivated enough to get up and do something about it.

I'm lazy.

To top it all off, I have to be up in the morning as usual, so I need to get to bed soon. I hate trying to sleep when I feel like this. It takes me forever to finally get to sleep, and then I feel like I wasted all of that trying to get to sleep when I could have been doing something.

I'm not tired.

I guess I'll just do what I usually do. Drink a beer, lie in bed, and wait until morning.

I'm pathetic.

So That Sucks

Who would have thought that sanding the wall BEFORE painting would have been a bad thing?

It's turns out that the wall that I'm working with in the installation space has so many layers of paint that it would have been better to have just left it on there. I sanded it down the best that I thought I could have, but nope, as I started painting, the previous layers started to peel away, making my wall look like shit.

I'm hoping that once I get the second, and probably even thirds coats done, it won't look bad, otherwise this could be a big-time "oops."

Edited For TV

I hate is when movies are edited for TV. I'm watching "Scary Movie" right now, and they have cut out all the good part, even the ones that deal with moving the plot forward. How is someone supposed to follow the movie if they have never seen the unedited version? It's freakin' annoying. I'm almost tempting to put the movie in and watch it... that is... if I really cared about the movie, because lets face it...

Scary Movie is lame...

I Can't Sleep

I know it's only like 12, but I have to be awake in about 6 hours, and I can't sleep. There is a lot on my mind right now and I can't stop thinking about it, thus, preventing the sleep that I so want right now.

I finished grading my first classes midterm today and all I can say is "ouch." It is painful how badly they did. I feel horrible. I can't decide whether to give them a chance to make it up or just let it be how it is. I mean, if they didn't study, then it's their fault for doing so poorly, but at the same time, I never went over the reading material in class with them on any kind of "deep" level, so I might be at fault too.

I'm also worrying about the installation piece that opens in less then two weeks. I have to help with promotion on top of actually getting the work up and going. It's going to come together, I know it will, but I can't help but feel stressed out about it.

Karen's class is like the one thing I'm NOT worried about. I feel like I have a strong idea working there, and my shooting is starting to come together. Plus, I know Karen, and she will like anything I do. Hell, she gave me an "A" in a class where she never even saw my final project.

I don't know if I'm looking forward to the semester ending or not. I've had a good semester, and I think next semester will be fun too, but I'm afraid of what next semester (and following semesters as well) hold for me in teaching. I don't want to teach 3D Design for the next two years, but I feel that may be the case. I want to teach. I want to teach photography. If things turn out like I think they might, is it really worth staying at Purdue?

See, this is why I can't sleep...

Web Art, I Think

I just came across this site. I think it's a web art project, but I could be mistaken. It could be some kind of new viral marketing thing. It's interesting, check it out...
