i downloaded the last couple songs i needed to finish Ted Leo and the Pharmacist's latest album, "Shake the Sheets," which is currently preparing me for another day of graphic design and library with very little food.


i also downloaded Tilly and the Wall's "Wild Like Children" album which maintained a certain degree of lightheartedness all last night.

i'd been hearing of them for a while. first because they were the first band signed to Connor Oberst(Bright Eyes)'s still newborn label, Team Love, which immediately set up some hype about them being rather special, in both the fascinating and the arm-slapping-chest way. i heard more about them a couple months back when they started opening for Rilo Kiley. all of a sudden there was this buzz about this pretty little band that had a tap dancer instead of a drummer. and now that i have the album...well, its pretty and it makes my arms hop from side to side in delight.

there's a week and a half left of class and then i get to go back home to new york and watch movies, read comics, see friends and family, go to museums, eat real food, wear sweaters and coats, and most importantly, watch television.
remaining projects and the amount of work still to go into them:
3D Problem Solving - construct packages for my two figures (see below photographs). the layout for the box is done, i am about 45% complete with the illustrations for the box and 80% complete with the text. i still need to buy cardboard and steal some turpentine from somebody, though i think they have it in the print lab.
Graphic Design 2 - as of yesterday afternoon i have redesigned the signage system for the Mote Aquarium to a system i like. i just need to make a whole bunch more of them. also, i need to redesign the console for the electronic shark guide and its navigational system. i hate this part.
Exhibition Design - we've got two more class periods in which to keep working on our orchid displays. tobey seemed enthusiastic about my type studies last class so let's see where i go from there today.
Gay and Lesbian Issues in Art History - over the weekend i must write a short paper about how AIDS has affected the art world, and then we have one more guest lecture next week.
Biodiversity of the Earth - nothing. i'm done. technically i should still show up for next week's class and see everyone else's presentations (i made mine this week and everyone seemed genuinely fascinated and impressed, which shocked me) but since i have no absences so far i could skip out on it if i wanted to. still, i don't think i will.

so i have to do all that and then i pack and go home for a month. its actually not that bad a work load. lighter than usual.
i just don't want to do it.
