hey hey !

not so much to report ... things are just goin' along. i haven't had much work lately which is sooooo nice.

yesterday in cultural psych we had an over-an-hour-long discussion about "ART." this girl who at the beginning of the semester kept calling portraits "facials" was doing her whole act of "well i know everything in the entire world and i know all the rules and everything is black and white" thing about "what is art?" i was so annoyed. so many things people were saying didn't even make sense, no one was listening to themselves. i talked a few times about intent, and that even though a chair may be mass produced, it can still be considered art or at least artistic - even if it's not set under a spotlight - because some one designed that chair not only to be comfortable, but also to be aesthetically pleasing (at least in the case of the chairs in our seminar room). Mariss said at first I sounded pissed but kept my volume really level so I just sounded passionate. it was great to have a discussion in there for once, but it was just really really frustrating.

in other news .... we went to the hockey game sunday night and even though clark lost, it was a fun game. vin even wrote an editorial to the paper thanking me and shapiro for organizing and for everyone coming especially from 13 and 46 beaver. awww! i also got quoted in the article about studco. man, i'm making waves this week. but that article was slightly ridic. (it was continued on another page under the headline "bickering continues"). but it wasn't as ridiculous as the article written ambiguously by "the scarlet staff" a.k.a. scott. i hate when people write articles that start with things like "The time has come for student organizations to stand up to Student Council and demand the accountability and just practice that all students deserve" and don't put their name on it! we all know he wrote it b/c he was at the meeting. and if he didn't, well, then, that's one more reason who ever did should have put their name on it. i dunno, i'm pretty worked up over it, because he used to be on council, and of all people he should understand the way budgets work. the article makes it sound like we made them give us $1000 that was theirs, and that's not what happened. oh man. i'm writing an editorial for next week. watch out.

anyways. i'm glad it's friday. i have to work tonight, but really, i always make great money on friday nights. sweeet. i am probably going to amherst tomorrow afternoon to see meredith and hopefully danielle. i have not seen meredith since, like, july. that needs to be fixed.

oh and i do yoga now.
