My Core Teacher Thinks I'm a Half-Hearted Hipster

So yesterday Kirk and I presented the final FDR scultpture. And for the second time one of my Core teachers, Leone, told me I'm a hipster. I was unaware of this. Until she proceeded to tell me that I appear to be said hipster working in the back of Urban Outfitters, as opposed to the front.

However, no harsh feelings. Here are some photos from the critique:

The setup.

Me in the left-hand corner, dressed for work.

Sigh.

Sigh. What was actually two days felt like four days. Now it's time to make an electronical playlist with corresponding You Tube links:

1. "Holiday" The Tough Alliance

2. "First Class Riot" The Tough Alliance
Official Music Video

3. "Koka Kola Veins" The Tough Alliance

4. "DVNO" Justice
Just the song and cover art

5. "Phantom" Justice

6. "Club Soda" Thomas Bangalter
Just the song and random pictures

7. "Zdarlight" Digitalism
Song and something with fireworks

"Are you trying to hide your mistakes, Dr. Jones?"

OH MY GASH

I am going to have another Hump Day of Hell:

11 A.M. - 4:00 P.M.: Finish site-specific project with Alice in 5 hours
4:00 P.M. - before 6:00 P.M.-ish: Film more footage for Pun Intended video
6:00 P.M. - 9:00 P.M.: Art History

Oh yeah, and soft sculpture revisions. Fuck.

Things that go bump in the night

Today in Media Practices I was introduced to Kenneth Anger through this nightmare-ish piece called "Rabbit's Moon." But most of all I was introduced to the song in the film called "It Came in the Night" by A Raincoat. It is perhaps the first song I've heard that uses the term "bump in the night", so therefore it must scare the hell out of me, because the phrase itself freaks me out. But it's so goddamn catchy!



Think this was made in the 70's? WRONG! It was filmed in 1950 and the soundtrack was added in 1976. Clearly.

Puppets Bring Happiness #2

I wholeheartedly believe that puppets + beautiful music (that of Herman Düne in this case) is cause for praise and celebration.

At least I have an iPhone... ?

So these are the first two text messages I received on my iPhone:


(After asking Stacy if I could stop by her room and play Nintendo 64 for little bit:)

"Sorry i was taking a nap [when the message was sent]. Not tonight though."

and

(While hanging out at Brent's place:)

"I feel wierd [sic] drinking around you so i think you should go"


My life is negative. I think maybe I should hang out with people who respect me more (and by "people" I mean only one of the people I mentioned as opposed to the other... I won't mention which one to protect the guilty.)

I apologize for the poopy feeling these last 3 posts have evoked. A new puppets video will be up momentarily.
