Woke up, took picture. No makeup, no clothes. Lots of mousse in my hair last night makes it go WHOO!

Art rag

So I've been given my first project in two of my classes. I don't have as much of an idea on the casting project that I do the metal fabrication project, but I'm working on it. These are some sketches for the "steel box" project. The requirements for this project are that we weld a steel box that is 7 3/4 by 7 3/4 by 7 3/4. After we successfully do that, we are free to do whatever we want to it to create an art object.

I have decided that I will cut one of the sides off of the box, and weld it to a 6 ft tall metal pole/ wave type of construct. This construct will have a circular circumference, and will have 3 or 4 1/4 inch rod supporters. The rest of it will be in 9 or 12 gauge wire that I'll stretch and twist along the supports. Then I want to seal the inside of the box and paint it a bright lime green. Then I will fill it just beyond the point of spilling with water.

This is what I have so far. Still brainstorming. Not even sure if it'll be structurally stable with the added weight of the water.

Got a bloody nose today in class. No clue why. Prolly because I pick it.

I bought this flannel shirt. On the surface, I bought it so it could be a work shirt for my metal and foundry classes, but for the really real, I bought it because it looks like Kurt Cobain's flannel shirt that he wore on the cover of Rolling Stone.

New hair! Hooray! Was about time. Was getting a little mullet-y for my tastes. Now off to Tae Kwon Do to kick some ass.

Decided to throw the earrings back into one of my ears. I think I'll leave them in there until they don't hurt anymore. :D

I solved a conundrum today! How do I wear my awesome rippy pants of safety pins and many holes without dying of frostbite? The answer, my good friends, is leggings, tights, or some other insulated wearable underneath them! WalMart, oh evil of evil corporations had several pairs on sale for six bucks. I bought some grey tights (pictured) with fuzzy colored bits, and some atrocious grey and black leopard spotted leggings. Also some horrible yellow and hot pink shoes, but that's unrelated.

Tomorrow I have to go to work. Uuugh. Day after that is class. I want my break back.

Unrelated: the cabin trip was amazing. I feel so much closer to everyone who was there, and renewed passion for the one I already love. Niceness was had. Also, I have groceries and a fifth of makers mark. I'll survive.

I know this doesn't make up for any of my missed days, of which there were a substantial amount (I have the bruises to prove it!) but I found this on my camera. This is one of the scant handful of pictures I took of myself and my friends when we were having a magical adventure. Wink wink, cough cough, nudge nudge. The others involved blurred attempts at documenting a shared high five when we discovered that I had pop rocks.
