if anyone's in the need for a new set of pastels soon, laurie alerted me to these Yarka Russian Pastel Sets which look like a damn good deal.

i'm proud to say that, after the news became all the big deal and whatnot, i thought about googling "janet jackson" to see what all the big deal was, but i never did until just after reading that bbc article right now.

google image searching her doesn't even bring up the pictures from the superbowl, so the internet is offically not as degraded society would have us believe.
however, half of the files i've seen on BitTorrent this week mention "janet jackson" and "super bowl" in the titles, which makes me sad. i just go on there to download episodes of home movies, but the internet is still home to countless pathetic lonely people.

kim elam, my type instructor, is very pleased with my understanding of the subject matter and my approach to the projects we're on right now, which makes me feel all good to have a teacher have nothing but positive things to say to me about my work. the workload is significantly less than graphic design this semester, but i do feel i'm learning more thanks to that. allowing me to spend more time focusing on the goals and coming up with the best solutions i can rather than feeling the need to rush through and crank out as many results as possible like i do for kendra polshek's class. she likes to have us do that, as we did literally hundreds of sketches per person last semester before ever approaching the computer to start developing our logos.
i'm actually working on another twenty or so images for kendra's class right now. madness.
additionally, i'm doing my laundry and have noticed two things:

1) - it is impossible for me to keep a white pair of socks white. i came to school this semester with a whole batch of brand-new socks still in the plastic bag. i would wear them for two days (not two straight days, just whenever i needed to leave my room) and throw them in the laundry bag. upon doing the laundry, i realize that, post "cleaning", they are still browned on the bottoms. ewwwww...i went through all the effort to have that not happen, and here it is...
so unless i change my socks three times a day and throw them in the laundry afterwards or soak my socks in a bucket of bleach, i am doomed to never keep white socks.

2) - my back sweats alot when i sleep. there's a noticable darkness on my mattress right where my back goes that fades to nothing as it approaches the small of my back, and entirely cuts off where my pillow rests.



i feel discombobulated...i need to do something that isn't graphic design for a little while...i need something...

i need a usb midi keyboard, that's what i need...
