bleah. did my first all-night school-related homework freakout this sunday PM / monday AM, as I’d been in new york for the weekend rocking out in honor of laura’s 25th. I used a shitton of hyperexpensive so-called “designer’s gouache” to paint a bunch of little 1-inch monochromatic squares. then I went to class and found out that I’d overshot the assignment and done like a week-plus too much work. this was very sad as I’d been done with what I had actually needed to do for that one class at like midnight. I then proceeded to stagger around and talk nonsense to everyone for the rest of the day, cuz I was tired.

laura’s jam was just tits. basically I got exceptionally drunk on very nice whiskey. there was also conversation of the highest order, where every sentence uttered was packed with as many “the family guy” references as it could structurally support. also they played “the choice is yours” at the bar at some point, which predicatably caused me to go insane and jump up and down screaming the lyrics, which in this context was just fine as others were doing similar things and were at least as drunk as I. other things as well, yes, but yes.

got my new hard drive in the mail today, so I can reanimate the dead computer. first tho I need either a teeny tiny set of screwdrivers, or a nerd who has teeny tiny screwdrivers and likes to install hard drives. if you have/are either of these things please step up and I’ll reward you with all the beer in china.

now I have to photograph some patterns and blah blah blah. you don’t really want to read about the minutia of my scholastic exploits, do you? I will save you the bother and terminate this nonsense. good day.

mmm… whiskey.

my scholastic exploits recently involved reading kenzaburo oe’s ‘a personal matter’, which describes the protaganist consistently drunk on whiskey, when he’s not passively plotting the demise of his retarded newborn son or fucking an otherwise perfect girlfriend while his wife recovers in the hospital. i am avoiding writing about it at this very moment. but i highly recommend everyone read it; i find it almost salinger-good.

if anyone is planning a halloween party, after i’m done handing out cigarettes to trick-or-treaters, i would like an excuse to purchase a handle of mr. jack daniels.

Glad to hear school is going well, please start responding to your e-mail.
