Art Gallery of Alberta
i went to school today to work on Printmaking and whilst working, my friend MattSatch mentioned that he had 4 tickets to the opening of the art gallery. as a result, we ended up going with Emily and Hannah at 6:30 after eating a yummy wrap from Bad Ass Jack’s on 109th.
the art gallery is so fantastic, it makes me feel so happy. i forgot i was even in this lame city and somewhere much more...

Cardiff & Bures Miller
they met at the U of A while completing their degrees in this artistic field (Cardiff has a masters in visual arts). Liz Ingram mentioned how she also met her husband the same way and then hinted to us all that the same would happen to us. i may have already met my constant and i don’t even know it yet.
Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller are very cool people, and have very cool ideas. a...
looking up and down the platform i felt a real anxiousness and frustration waiting for the train

me to my car, him to his. he followed me to the...

happy birthday to me
You’re bound to be focusing a lot of energy and attention on your romantic relationships today, and any romantic encounters should prove to be very rewarding right now. If you’re not already involved, you could be getting ready to allow new love into your life. And it should be a good day to take a few chances.
You should find that you’ll have a very confident and optimistic attitude...
i feel so inspired by film right now
that i’m going to dedicate each month to a certain director, and watch all their best movies in that month.
starting with February and Martin Scorsese
thank you James Cameron, it was beautiful
i spent most of the movie trying to articulate my thoughts and feelings about the human race and how completely dead we are.
but on another level, how completely un-dead we are, to have the capabilities to create such beautiful things to help us understand and learn things we might not have figured out without these manifestations.
my mind was completely blown and movies like this make me 100%...

the forecast
You need to realize that you probably have a lot more control over things than you might think right now. You may find yourself encountering a few delays at this time, but these can always be used to rethink a few things.

-only type
-textually dominant
-visually dominant
-visually and textually balanced
so in total, 12 layouts, and the images can be photo-manipulated and cropped but have to be from the same single photo of our choosing of 24 photos we shot specifically for this project. the...
formative effect on the mind
i did schoolwork for 13 hours non-stop today. plus an hour on the train in the morning when i finished reading Fight Club, the first book i’ve successfully completed in about 2 years. i feel really good at my accomplishments today and i am excited to work just as hard the next two days.
then i can breathe,
for about a day anyways
גם זה יעבור
this too shall pass
i sure hope so
You might prefer to spend a little time alone today if you can, and you could find yourself coming up with a few interesting and creative new ideas before the day is through.
golden globes, toast, and apple cider
and my homework, woohoo!
1 week x 2 = success!
