School has started again. I have classes every day (starting at 8:30am. I hate, 8:30am.)
Serigraphy I, Photo II, Painting IV, and The Digital Image...Radio show is on Mondays 12-2pm.

I still haven't bought my plane ticket, but I should be going to Europe March 19-April 1. I've decided on the London-Paris-Venice venture.

I have a studio again this semester, but apparently I'm sharing it.
To this, I say, what is the point of having my own space if it's not my space? Mildly, continuously, peeved.

I received a letter yesterday from Serbin Communications. I'm a finalist (top 5%) for the Photographer's Forum College Photgraphy Annual Contest. My name will be printed in the book and if I win, I get a swank Nikon D70 + $1000 (?).

I'm not as happy as I used to be.
And I have too many things to do.

My guts hate it, but it's COFFEE TIME.

I hate exercise.

I hate it so much it is bleeding into your LJ.

Do you know where exercise is banned?
London.

This is why you should fly there on March 18th.
You should also come with me to gay Fra-ance and It-lee.

Shout if you wanna go trump around London sometime when you're over - I live bang in the middle of town now. :)

I do!
I planned on staying for 2-3 days in London before heading over to Fra-ance. Looks like I'll get in early evening on the 19th. I book the flight tomorrow, so I'll let you know more then. Know of any good locations for spotting some of Banksy's work?

Wooo!

Coolies - lemme know dates and I'll put them in my diary.

Most of Banksy's stuff is in East London I think. The status varies because new stuff is painted over by over-zealous council employees with no idea what they're doing. I'll check out some forums/flickr/etc before you come and see if we can line some up that will actually still be there :)

Sweet! You are awesome!

I get in on the 19th and leave London on the 22nd. :) Do you know of any hostels in your area?

I've stayed at the Generator Hostel in King's Cross which is a fairly decent hostel with a late bar and servicable rooms. It's not too far from Euston and King's Cross stations and in the middle of town.

The weekend you arrive in town I'm in Southampton at an Anime Convention but I'm back in London on Monday so we can hit the town on Tuesday or something - as a complete fluke, I already had that week booked off as holiday :)

Yeah, that was my old shift. I switched to accomdate my horrible, horrible schedule. It's really Mondays, 12pm-2pm. Just go to the site and there should be a link to listen on the home page. :D

Doode, I wish that is when I was going to Europe. But I am going end of August/beginning of September. How rad would it be to bash about Europe with you! One of my plans is to go to Amsterdam and get legally and publicly high.

Also I like your Portland/Seattle photo album! It looks so... unpretentiously professional. Does that make sense? I love looking at your work. And - Even if Seattle is obviously INFERIOR in the Northwest, we had lots of fun :)

Miss you :)

Oh man! I wish I could change my travel plans, but my Eurail pass expires Apr 27th. :( GOOD CHRIST that would be fun.

Thank you, lady. Sorry it took me so long to respond. I have 350 emails in my inbox and I tend to lose things. :} And you can thank 1and1.com for their unpretentiously professional template. ;)

I'm thinking of U. of Oregon-Portland for grad school....think think.
