what we have.
In this blog I will post images and narrate my experiences in the last month or so. Basically, the Raveonettes at Pasadena, Supergrass (WHOOO!) in LA, and my art from class. Gonna see Radiohead soon...yes oh yes.
Well, I don't really know where to start. After school ended the dirty bastards had given me a mere few days to relax and get back up and go to summer school...which I believe was first PCC's class. Not as great in the ideas of projects--majority was the drawing of cubes, shadows of cubes, matching color vallue with sepia tones, and linear fucking perspective man. Boy, was that tough to do...the lines, the concepts couldn't be posibly understodd in the course of one week..or two weeks...or maybe even three. That was a hurdle the whole class had to overcome. In addition, trips to art center made me get copic markers, and we did some marker things, the only projects we really had. Then in the end we did little painting..main purpose was to match the value. We did get to eat every week, which was enjoyable and the people there were felow sufferers. Great experience..high school sucks, kids. Yup.
So what I got in the end were some of these...I'm not gonna show the cubes and its shadows...I made half-assed ones..in the two projects of cubes we had to do because it was 3 am and I that sleepy headache was taking a toll.
It's not all of it..there actually is a lot more, but as "decorative" or as good as eye candy gets..these probably are it. I have the 2nd picture as a painting..and it's almost done. Maybe one day I will show it. Who knows hm?
That was my first time useing copic markers, "figure" whatevers...the in depth linear perspectives and the value matching. Kinda wished (even though I stayed up until 3 everyday and still do) that class was a regular class, not summer because there is a lot more I couldv'e learned from this class. Met some interesting people who were a few years older than me and who believed I was much older that I told them I was. Rather odd, they all gave me the surprised expression and astonishment. I also found a radiohead fan in there who played a mix cd from bends to amnesiac which was great. Oh the food we ate there too..every week a different culture and for only 4 $ average then 15$ for a meal at a japanese restaurant (which is apparently not that great as said by the guy in my class who is very much into japanese things)
The ones above are of my own doing. 1st one is after the end of class..playing around, because we were briefly taught the ways of a face and I tried to get there...but I don't think I did. The 2nd one is something I was working on for a while..I never truly enjoyed this one..it was a mistake when I put on the permanent marker, and I've tried to do something with it and I think some people like it. Personally..it's an eh. Gotta keep working on it. The 3rd one was of a "quick" charcoal drawing of a plant in my living room. The 4th one is a face I did in class during school time...like June or May..I don't know if I finished it. I drew this face because this expression was what I felt. Seriously...school is like drone....buzzing...ehhhhhh. The 5th one is Jigglypuff. I was trying tp paint and I still don't have it. I'm not very patient so colors get mixed and jiggly puff looks a little funny, but that's ok. I was just playing around. Trying to work on a squirtle and hopefully that'll look as cute as that turtle. The last one was my attempt to paint a mouth.
The photos above are 1st of the last meal we all had together at that japanese restaurant, and me in the far end had sashimi. I love sashimi. The the 2nd of us in class on the last day, you can see my painting in front of me..on the left front. Good class we had.
Before my trip to PCC, I also had ROP in SGHS. Had Mr.Robb...a very nice..and fun teacher. Wouldn't mind having him as a teacher again...or for a real school year. Sucks it's not the same school..I'm beginning to find my school just sucks. I mean we do not have...or at least, not that I know of that has a real computer tech etc area. Also, I don't believe that our computers are as good as the ones in SGHS..I mean..they held their student files on a network things..all internet or something..I dunno complicated indeed but good compliated!
So during that time I discovered a service in Pasadena. I found out that they were going to have the Raveonettes play for free! and of course I wanted to go. Here are the pics...hot and sweaty..it was. Sharon..the singer was pregnant at the time so her sis sang instead. The venue after this one for the Raveonettes was to go back to Europe and play some big place with Franz Ferdinand. If only I could've gone. Anyway, the show was great, music great..it was just really hot...like whole back sweat stain..everyone smells and is bound to be sweating even those people who say...ooh..I never sweat.
So my next conert adventure was to see the fabulous Supergrass...the one and only diamond hoo ha men creators. It was lovely...lovely. I got the front..on the side and the people around me were nice people. I really want to see them again. They also made an appearance at amoeba..which I didn't know about--where they signed and sang and god dammit I saw the pics man...NO ONE WAS SINGING TO THEIR SONGS...they were just standing there...all arms folded trying to like to music. Gaaah dammit!!!! Now, why would I be mad...well because after the concert I waited for 30 or so minutes hoping to see them and get a signature...a photo, a hug, dammit. No luck..and I had to leave. I mean how close was I to meet them? Well the merchandise guy was a radiohead fan...saw my radiohead shirt I wore and when I said hi to him after the show, when everyone was moving their equipment out, he said I should go to the side where supergrass will exit. I do just that and wait, bu no..had to leave..so..I lose my chance in meeting them. Only two other people were waiting for the band...and who knows what happened to them..they probably met them. pity great pity.
Anything else in my life....let me list.
--finished 600 pg book Grapes of Wrath it was a great read, you could connect to the Joad family and it's depressing that so many people had to move like that, and when you don't get a good ending...you realize that they are no special to the minor characters that pop in and out of their lives because, they, too don't truly have good hopes of a happy ending. they're just some family out of the thousands who go to the west you happen to learn more about.
-finished Yellow Raft in Blue Water in 3 days...300 pg. I don't think I've ever done that. It's a great story of three females..all seperate time periods, but all relate because it's daughter, mom, grandmom. So it all connects, and the view points...the perspective is parallel to each other because all of them were once daughters... and grandmom was once a mom who loved her daughter and so forth. Just eye opening on the whole warp of perspective.
-I am still...on ch. 4 out of the 6 ch..I have to read...and write notes on. Just hard to make myself do it....I've lost some fuel...and dammit I wanna stay at the gas station under the shade. It's nice there!
-I've dyed my hair green..not all just somewhat chunky highlights on the front. I like it. Good change. And the shortest hair I've ever had in a decade.
-a pair of my turtle has been pooping out some eggs! unfortunately..and fortunately out of the 3 we've known has come out...one one had survived and I cant tell if its dead or not. I mean if it isn't...or another one comes out...I dont know how to take care of such a small creature when it is so vulnerable to disease and other bad things. So I'd prefer not to have them..but it is a sign of growth from these turtles I've had for years. It's always amazing when you see animals have babies...not making them..but having them come out is just nice.
What I'd like to do:
-go to staples---SALE BABY SALE!
-finish all work before priority blah blah school
-go to souplantation..not kidding here...i think it's an enjoyable place
-eat more sashimi
-do some more art...finish the ones not finished
-go get costume clothes...thrift clothes...anyone know where?
-go to the beach..
