| So...Life... so beautiful yet so terrifying sometimes, ey?
hah. School is out around June 2nd for me. Dunno when
I'm coming home yet. I guess probably sometime after the 10th
though. (One of my friends is coming in, gotta see
them.) School is well I suppose. Just doing my
best. Thats all anyone can do, anyway, right.
:D No but seriously things are well. This
summer will be interesting. Most of you guys have moved
away. Granted, nothing keeps me from roadtripping a lot to see
you guys (I imagine thats what will happen.) We are a
bunch of party animals at ultramania (our house name. Apparently
its a trend to name your house around here. hah). We
work hard and party hard. Crime? Maybe.
haha.

| The date went extremely well tonight. We originally had planned
on going to a middle eastern resteraunt but it ended up being
closed. So, we ended up eating at a local pizza place called
Vinnie Van Go-Gos. Some of the best pizza you will find in
Savannah.
Eventually Elgin, Mai, Pilah, Race, Ness, Robert, and Hiroshi came
down and everyone went up to our friend's Pilah's apartment and took
part in a "social experiment" if you will. We took people from
the room and
gave them very strange hair styles. We took before and after
photos of them and then walked down to the riverstreet/city market area
and asked people what they thought of the before and after
photos. Some people ended up just ignoring us all together while others
reactions were just "oh my god...".
Honestly though it was incredibly fun...l. I ended up looking
like I was a subject out of one of Andy Worhol's
paintings. The color stuff they put in our hair was a pain in the
butt to get out... I honestly thought for a second that it wouldn't
come out. Thank god it did.
So yeah, finals are getting into crunch time. I've got one paper
finished, my self portrait almost finished (still have to finish the
right hand, amp and work on the eyes some more) as well as a final film
project to finish. Ugh. I don't know how the film project
is going to turn out. It is really well edited until it gets near
the end. I'm going to have to work on it a lot. There
were a few shots that I ended up forgetting to film, but its too late
to fix that now. Just gotta work with what footage I
have. Hopefully it'll turn out ok. We'll see.

| All is well! I have asked Sirapa (Ploy) out this weekend. We're hitting it off pretty well I think.
Well... finals are approaching and I am almost done with my life
drawing final. I'm having to do a full body self portrait.
Similar to the one I had to do for drawing II. You can see it
below:
It still has quite a bit of work to be done to it. I still have
to finish the face (tighten up some lines, put the eys in and work on
the mouth), work on the right arm/hand, finish the guitar and the
guitar amp. Then finally just some minor touchups.
Hopefully I can finish it all tomorrow. That way I can have
the rest of the weekend to edit my short film for my Cinematography
class. I have so much raw footage that its gonna take all weekend
just to edit everything into sequence, etc.
Well, time to get some sleep.

| I am one happy art student right now.
A part of me wants to come home but another part simply does not.
For obvious reasons, six weeks sounds like a long time. Oh
well.
I recieved my first Cordau in capoeira on November 5th. I
attended the 3rd Annual Grupo Bantu Capoeira Batizado (portugese for
baptism... however not the same religious baptism that you or I may
think of... it was more of a recognition of my involvement with the
sport/art of capoeira. Meaning that it was a ceremony that
officially recognized that I was a part of grupo bantu capoeira.
It had even more special meaning for me due to the fact that November
5th was the day my family celebrated the life of Richard
Gernler--Loving friend of our family. He was a great man who had
the biggest heart you would ever find. So this ceremony was a way
for me to celebrate the memories I had with Mr. Richard and his wife
Shirley as they came from California/Hawaii to visit my family.
Next tuesday (the 23rd) will be my last day here. I'll be driving
down on wednesday to come home I suppose. Again, mixed feelings
on the whole situation but it'll be good regardless.

| Oh noes. I am in teh floreedaah. Race, Myself, Eun and Alex
drove down here today just for the hell of it. Eun and I are the
only ones still up (except for race, who just took his gf back to her
house) right now. I finally finished my warm/cool colors painting
project. I think i spent over 25 hours on that damn piece.
Thank god it's over. I mean it was fun learning to paint
for real (and it came out good I think) but I can't tell ya how many
nights where all I did was eat/sleep/paint. Nothing more.
Hah.
Saw Constantine the other night. Overall not a bad movie. A
few things that left you like... "uh... why didn't they go into more
detail about this or that" but I guess that's what happens when
you have a friend who's a film major.
I also saw Kung Fu Hustle. haha. Best movie ever. Has no real plot but is extremely amusing.
I think I got a total of like 3 and a half hours of sleep last
night. Yet I'm still up. Had to get up early this morning
and film another movie with race and spencer.
We picked up the equipment at 8 and were "done" by around 11:30.
Well, the camera race and spencer were using this time was slightly
different than normal. After wrestling with loading the film into
the camera, they thought they had got it all in and working, as they
got it to actually feed through the camera, as they recorded,
etc. (We're talking about a real 16mm film camera, now)
Well, about half-way through the shoot, we hear a loud pop. We're
like, oh well. We're not about to stop filming. So, we
continue filming and the camera suddenly stops in the middle of our
shots, etc. We wind it again and shoot. We finally
finish and as they go to open the camera up in the dark room next door,
all of the film basically shoots out of the side of the camera.
The film is totally screwed up. Yet again, the film department's
equipment is broken. WTF. Oh well. Shit like this
happens from time to time.
Anyway, I think we're going to go eat at "dick's wings" tomorrow and
maybe chinese (or so I hope). Dunno what else we'll do. I
should edit my paper tomorrow too, as I need to be working on my
research paper this coming week.
Yarr.
Oh, btw, here's a pic of my first color theory project from the
beginning of the quarter. I'll post a pic of my latest project
whenever I get it back, etc.
I'm hitting the submit button now. Wee.
