promises are like snowflakes-forgotten as soon as they melt.

i specifically remember telling this blog that i would not neglect it after graduation. (and, incase i didnt remember saying it, i can at least read it 3 posts ago) I feel bad for telling such a terrible lie to a blog that has been nothing but polite and receptive to me. i will not promise it again, that would be like promising to hold down the shift key when i type "i"; it wont happen, no matter how hard i try.

but i will try my best to keep up with it. i find that i am a better person when i blog, and that i get more done. lately, i have done nothing of substance...unless you count my attempt at chineese paper cutting. here is my cheap photobooth picture of it because i dont feel like scanning it right now, or getting out my camera. i'm pretty pleased with it, but only as a beginning.

which brings me to my fixative rant. So I bought a can of prismacolor fixative last year for a design class (fun with mounting posters and stationary on black board stuff!!!) and have only used half of the can. now, a year or so later, the fixative has no tacky-ness to it.why? infuriating. i may write to the company and demand an explanation. politely.

in the mean time, i had a chick with an umbrella that needed mounting. so, as an impatient person who could not wait until i made it to an art store to buy another can (of a better brand, obviously) i had to find an alternative...and any artsy person will tell you that, other than duct tape, the only other emergency option, and general fixer of crisises, is Modge-Podge. thats right, i used modge-podge. my thinking is that the poor paper-cut was only a trial, and not worthy of waiting, or of a special trip to the store. is it right to favor one piece of art over another? should they not be treate equally, regardless of time spent, and general happiness with outcome? is not all art a reflection of self, or feeling, or some such thing that should not be judged or ranked? is it like favoring the thumb of my right had to that of my left hand? all is part of me....

regardless, I was not going to make a special trip to the store for it. modge-podge it had to be.


in other news, i am still looking for a job. i feel that i will perpetually look for jobs. thank the internet gods for craigslist.


stay tuned for a post featuring more lomo pics. i have quite a few that i am quite fond of. i make no promises as to timing and speed, but i do promise that they will eventually make it here. what else have i to do anyway, jobless as i am?


it is safe to say, then, that, barring the acquisition of a good job, the pictures should be posted soon.
