current tune: "We Are All Made Of Stars" by: Moby

(This is one of my favorite music videos)

After having a wretched day of questioning my future and the future I will have attending Cazenovia College, I took a spontaneous road trip out to Erie Blvd. DeWitt, NY to the coveted Taco Bell with my very good friend Kari.

Bean Burritos and cheesy fiesta potatoes put me in a good mood after crying between life, situations, and the un-inspired feeling I've been experiencing for months. As an artist, espeically an exceptionally busy college student one, inspiration is a must, and without it I feel like dead inside. A zombie basically has more life than what I've been feeling lately. My mom will be coming up tomorrow from my hometown to spend the day with me for some good bonding. I feel like I've been all over the place, and just utterly crazy, so I hope this will all help.

On the way back from Taco Bell Kari I stumbled on a comfy chair on the side of the road. I had to do some manuerving in my merc to get back to where it was, but we managed to get it into the trunk of my car. So while driving back to Cazenovia with my four ways on, and going slwoly we made it. After Kari and I struggled to get it up to Hubbard and up the stairs and into my room without any help from any male figure, might I add!

The little treasure sitting precariousily in the back of my trunk.
Kari and I had to jiggle it in, take it back out, and repeat a couple of times before we got it in the best we could.
Plus with the assistance of my only tiny bungee cord.

Before we got it up Hubbard stairs.

...And into my room! yay!

I'm so happy to have this latest edition to my room of random oddites and vintage-garage sale love.

a new start!

Current tune: "Lucky Today" by: Cloud Cult

warning!! long post ahoy!

The New Year's came and went and I had a very good one in Albany. I had a party with Matt (and his roommates) in his flat with some of our friends from high school and other friends in Albany/ Apple employees.

Sublime, and The Beatles were played and all my food was a big hit! Everyone loved my paper pirate New Year's hats as well! Also! To all my British folk out there....I had Strongbow again! Matt located a place in Albany that sells imported beer, so he grabbed some for me. It was so delish! I had the chance to have a bit of my England back with me!

New Year's Day was spent going to a '50's-esque diner in Albany and in Schenectady with Matt's aunt and cousins that are still up from Texas. Where I was inspired to make some art! Of...the modern variety....I suppose....

"we're all mad here."

We stopped at Colony Center to look about in Barnes & Nobles before going to see The Spirit. I was overjoyed by the bright and very cute wallpaper in the hallway before the restrooms; which equaled an opportune photo op!

Matt looked really good against the cute background.

Then we had some fun finding things at his aunt's!

We found a sweet gas mask!

I found this as well! It's the flying spaghetti monster at his best! I fell in love with this picture and want a copy of my own! I thought it was sooooo great!!

Cloud Cult was a band I actually just found today while I was watching Die Hard 3 on tv; it was on a Progressive Insurance commercial.

So, I thought I would do some poking around on youtube.com to check them out.

A seven member band, as many indie bands forming seem to be quite large, from Minnesota with a folksy sounding and almost hippie-jam band-like.

Here's there myspace : http://www.myspace.com/cloudcult

happy listening!
