the speed of boredom


Wednesday, February 25, 2004

i was so bored-to-migraine in math today that i actually popped my headphones in and listened to his name is alive's "stars on E.S.P." (an album i still haven't grown tired of after listening to for almost a week, which is damn impressive this semester) while i rapidly solved the problems and drew tiny compositions on yellow post-it notes.
american creativity was better this morning that usual. we looked over pop art (warhol and lichtenstein), folk music (joan baez and bob dylan), civil rights (birmingham), JFK's assassination, and beatle-mania.
and while i must admit that its nice and refreshing to listen to, watch, and discuss the acomplishments of the beatles in class, i can't get over that nagging voice in my head that screams "THIS IS NOT AMERICAN CREATIVITY!!!"

i'm a good bit stressed over my book for kendra's class, considering i had neither the means to cut the davey board for the cover nor the proper glue to affix the cover top the board until yesterday. no matter, though, as kendra didn't approve our cover designs until yesterday.
problem there is that while she liked my cover design using a bunch of icon experiments that were not used in the final page layouts, she preferred the slipcase design i had come up with as extra material and thought that the two together would be too much of the same icon, and since my icon is scotch tape, i should have the cover simply be tissue paper.
not an entirely bad idea.
problem there is that the glue we all went out of our way to get because it was right bleeds right through tissue paper and causes it to wrinkle.
i'm gonna do a couple layers of the paper to make sure it doesn't rip in your hand while you hold it. the glue takes a little while to dry, though, and i still haven't had the time to get to the labs and print the actual pages.

hopefully she'll accept one finished book on friday and i can make my own copies over the weekend.
