| | The school semester has started...like, a month ago, actually. Yeah. I'm only taking three, sort of taking it easy...although maybe a little too easy since most of my classes are in the morning, two times a week on different days, and one class once a week in the afternoon. I guess you could say that with all of this free time I could be doing my homework, but no. Instead I just slack off. Which, to those who know me, isn't new but I swear I've been slacking off more than normal this semester. Bah. I really should get my rear in gear and start doing homework for IH II and Japanese but I find it especially hard to do the former because it's so goddamn BORING. And the teacher isn't exactly the most entertaining teacher in the world...not to say that they have to be, but man, I wish I'd taken my friend's advice and took that class with another teacher. Oh well.
My other classes are good...the photo class is almost similiar to the intro course I took in '04, except the teacher expects us to know everything Photoshop (I think) and printing-wise, and me, I'm slightly more creative than I was then. At least I think so...it's hard to come up with photos that are interesting to make it on print. Then there's that damned issue of the color not showing up as is in Photoshop...argh, drives me crazy! Another difficult thing is to take photos that relate to other people, and not just myself. In the first critique, I took a photo of two brothers, the youngest of the two sort of leaning over so as to read the older brother's book. The teacher said that he couldn't relate to it because he didn't have any siblings...and I think he had assumed that I do, so that's why I could relate. But the thing is, I don't have siblings; I'm the only child. Wish I could have mentioned that so as to see how he responds to that...but I guess, next time?
Art-wise in general, I'm starting to get all of these ideas...most have to do with drawings/painting, but there's another idea I have that's sort of 3D. Considering I have never done 3D stuff before I don't know how the idea's going to develop as such, but who knows, it could be interesting. I don't know. But for some reason I've been having all this inspiration recently...I have no idea where it all comes from, but it's real nice. Now if only I have time to actually start those ideas that'd be nice..
So on a completely random topic, I saw Miami Vice today. God.....I think that damned movie gave me a headache. Some parts of the movies was cool and whatnot but...what got to me was how the shots were taken. Whoever was handling the camera seemed like s/he was an amateur, at least to me. Another thing was this whole tough guy attitude. And don't get me started on the cheese...oh man. I guess that's what made it mildly entertaining, to say the least. haha.
I just remembered...while my friend Jesse and I were watching the previews, the short movie thingie came on for Snakes on the Plane. Except the Japaense title was called Snake Flight. hahahahah! But anyway, of course Samuel Jackson's famous line in the entire movie was also played the short time it was on screen, I think you all know which one. Man. After watching that preview it sort of made me wanna see the actual movie. Hmm....
In other news, work is work is work. Nothing new...not really working as much as I was during the summer, which was probably close to everyday, or at least four times each day. Now that school started my hours dropped drastically...but I don't mind that much. Th work isn't as bad as it was, but then again the mood I had when I drawn that strip below comes from time to time and makes me wanna quit, but I stick it out. Next time, though, I think I will get an easier job...if there is any.
Er, I don't know what else I could say. My friend Dan is living in Tokyo now and we shall be going to Oktoberfest this weekend. Can't wait...I generally don't like beer, but I wonder if German beer is any different. I mean, all Japaense beers practically taste the same to me, so maybe there wouldn't be any difference. Who knows.
Well I should probably be going to sleep. Gotta wake up heeeellla early tomorrow for class...fun.
G'night!
