Ladies and gents, I was totes sars about this “What city will I spend 6 months in?” question. I am just wikipedia-ing random cities right now.
I don’t maintain an elaborate network of people who vaguely know me in an internet-sort-of-way for nothing. Just shout out cities you know or something. I don’t know what I’m doing! Question mark to make it even easier to...
I didn’t recycle my Avatar glasses because I predicted 3d-glasses would be the “next big thing,” people would go around wearing them as a fashion accessory.
So far I’m wrong. But I remain ready.
Is it normal for people to just have 3-D glasses...

Am I out of the loop?
Is this a Grammys thing? If I were watching I would be so prepared! I have Avatar-style ones and red-blue ones! Within reach!
Hell yeah! Debating whether I should do this without glue, and figure out an elaborate system of notching and so forth, when I check my precedent.
He uses glue! That makes it OK!
I was telling a friend early this week that I’ll have a lot to do over the weekend. He asked if I’d be able to do it all, and I said “yes, as long as my studio prof doesn’t spring a surprise project on us on Friday.”
Prof sprung.
Tonight I decide my fate! Well, I start the process of choosing where I’ll be April-August. It’s co-op (internship) time again.
I am not sure how I’ll choose. I’d basically be OK with any city with some sort of awesome public transport. That eliminates Ohio, but otherwise the country/world is open.
The one thing is, I don’t want to live alone. As in, I want a...

When I used the phrase “super effective” he immediately knew I was borrowing from Pokemon lingo.
We tentatively scheduled a second date!
jqsk asked: I am considering architecture as one of my options for college, and I was wondering if you could tell me anything about it, based on your experience thus far. Specifically, what your expectations were going in, what the reality has been, and what the coursework is like. I'd appreciate anything you have to say on the subject.

What is this? I’m showered, dressed, and breakfasted, on a Saturday, and it’s only 1:30.
What am I supposed to do now?

In other news, when I put my hand in my coat pockets, I found a snickers bar! I had bought it this afternoon when I was at the corner market, put it in the coat pocket, and forgotten about it when I got home. But now I have it, and it’s a total surprise!
IT'S NOT THERE
I went outside to look at the moon, ‘cause it’s supposed to be extra big and bright tonight.
It’s not there. I looked all over. IT’S GONE!

I’m pretty tempted to buy the book.

me: I have a date tomorrow!
jonesy: is it with another skinny malnourished guy?
me: I think he's cute!
[later]
jonesy: you guys can see if your hands fit around each others biceps
me: thanks
Got hit up by the Mormons!
I feel sorry for them tonight, it is super cold out there, but they seemed well equipped in their LDS-issued coats, hats, scarves, and gloves.
I said that I was atheist (I’d actually say more agnostic, but I figured why not go full guns) and they asked if I believed in evolution and “the big bang and all that” and I said yes. Asked if I was raised...

Who the hell are David and “TopherChris” and why the hell are they on my dashboard and why can’t I hide it like other Radar shit and who the hell cares where they are going?
Is A Single Man a good date movie?

After talking with Jonesy, I revised the Document. Click for image.
Still undecided on what I’m going to do with it. It might be a performance piece, where I read it aloud and then jab an x-acto knife into it to pin it to the wall.
My jeans are starting to get a hole in the knee! The right knee!
Is patching something only goths/emos/whatevers do? I should buy new jeans! But where? I have a car now so I’m not limited to Urban Outfitters or American Apparel. Does Am Appy even sell jeans? Are jeans still fashionable? Maybe I’ll buy shiny gold leggings? Can I just wear these, with the hole? Ahhhh!!!

I hope Obama mentions the iPad!!!!
something happened today about Apple.
take 40 photos, first is the best.
Qisto called attention to this new “Directory” (congrats on being listed btw) so I checked it out, and it’s missing something. There are categories like Books and Automotive and Humor and Music, and some that describe occupations/passions, Animators, Designers, Photographers, but none that is “People.” That is, the blogs I like the most aren’t about some topic...
I don’t like concluding sentences to paragraphs. Once I finish saying the last thing in a paragraph, I want to move on to the next paragraph and its interesting things, not write a stupid sentence summing up what was just said. Can’t you just remember??

WatchBEDROOM Selected Items & Moments
This is the second iteration of my current studio assignment. This is certainly less “entertaining” than the first video, but perhaps it captures the mood of my bedroom more accurately.
Advantage of uploading to Vimeo at 5am: Only 30 minute waiting time for “processing.”

Unfollow Exit Interview
Someone unfollowed me immediately after I posted about my hair. “He doesn’t wash his hair?!? That is the LAST STRAW!!”
Inspired by this past encounter and mykick’s, as well as Steve Carell’s performance on Conan, I wish to make the following request.
If you choose to unfollow me, I demand an angry “ask” submission where you tell me off. Of course,...
This hope has been swiftly dashed by the fact that...

OH GIRL, I FEEL YOU ON THAT ONE!
THAT IS A KILLING WORD.
UGH! There is a girl in my studio who is doing her thesis on “phenomenology” and she always mentions it in any group discussion. “Phenomena this” and “Phenomenological that” and arg!
Almost as bad as Foucault-Girl, who thinks that everything has to do...

moosecakes:
Can you communicate it like this?
B R B R B R B R
B R _ _ B R B R B R
etc.
(That is, assuming you remember what you did. I’m really curious, because I simply can’t solve it.)
(regarding this puzzle) I think I did it wrong. The end condition has no gaps, correct? I can get it so its B B B B R R R _ _ R or similar, but that’s not right.
I have red and blue index cards!

A month ago I got a haircut, and for the first time ever, the person gave me actual advice on my hair. You would think it would have been from the super-gay hairdresser here in Cincinnati, but no, it was the $5-cheaper lady at Great Clips in suburban Cleveland.
She asked if I liked my hair, and I said “eh…” and she said “not when it’s curly, right?” She told...

arg, plan for the evening was build LEGO and watch SNL. The LEGO thing isn’t working out, and SNL is a repeat.
Nevermind everyone, 2 other people are joining us at dinner. No change on YouFace.
A guy I dated briefly a few months ago invited me out to dinner. Initially it was him and his friends, and they were going to one of the friends’ house afterward.
But now it seems like it might just be me and him? And going back to his place? I don’t know how I feel about this. We’ve hung out before, post-dating, but this is different.
Gotta change my YouFace profile to...
2 people independently told me that my video reminded them of Quentin Tarantino, which I suppose is good? Also, the prof’s assistant asked if it was a “mockery of the assignment,” adding that is was “ok if it was.” I don’t know what to think, but we are doing the assignment twice more, so we’ll see what form my next iteration is…

WatchBEDROOM - Assignment Three
“The transgressive self exhibiting scientific ethos; datum as a site specified materialization material” - quotation from assignment syllabus.
(featuring my first ever “semi-nude” pictures)
There was a cute boy at Bowling last night and I thought he was looking at me and I almost went up to him but I decided to play it cool, as he’ll likely be at bowling again next week.
I did learn his name, and on Facebook it says he’s “into women.” Blarg! But his coat had a fur lined hood!
