SELF PORTRAIT THURSDAY!
SELF PORTRAIT THURSDAY!
3.20.08
I look tired.
I AM a bit tired, too.
I didn't get home til late last night.
This girl Emily that I sorta know through mutual Texan friends---well, every Wednesday she hosts this thing called Lecture Series. So, every Wednesday one of her friends does a lecture on various subjects.
Last night's was about how we perceive language, the various theories surrounding the subject, semiotics, Is it nature or nurture that determines how we perceive language, etc. (I was late, but I'm pretty sure it was a nature/nurture discussion.)
I wasn't expecting it to be so philosophically intense. My brain was totally used to that in college, but now I think way different.
"Now I use my grand IQ to see which eyeshadow to use and how to hit up three keggers before curfew."
(I really butchered that "Heathers" quote.)
No, but seriously, now I think about what appliqué to put on a t-shirt and where that appliqué should be located on the shirt. And what color thread to use. And how to photograph the item.
Maybe I've gotten stupid.
Last week's lecture was way different:
Lillian G. did a slide show/art performance/lecture about pom poms.
It was called "Pom Pom Vacation". And it was funny and interesting.
(Ugh, I'm SO sure I've already mentioned that lecture of hers already on this blog. I'm not going to look to see if I have.)
(I already told you how bad I am about repeating myself.)
I hope I get to lecture about something sometime soon.
I'm a good public speaker. =)
Also, I'm going to start taking photos everyday of the crossword puzzles I do in the New York Post.
I probably won't post the photos on my blog everyday, though. But if you're REALLY interested, you can go to my Flickr and check it out.
But here are yesterday and today's puzzles.
(Yesterday's I tried doing on the subway. It was more difficult than the day before.)

P.S.
Oh, speaking of Flickr, the girl who started the site is going to drop by the studio today.
I'm excited to meet her since I like Flickr a lot.
Holler.

You are going to meet the person who started Flickr?!
Fucking awesome!
....jelous.
Personally, I feel there's nothing wrong with thinking about applique placement and thread color. Those things are important too.
Otherwise, you have an ugly shirt, which leads to an ugly photograph, which causes people to dislike something.
People like to look at pretty things.
=)
I love the puzzles and the new work space.
hope you able to take break.
Happy Easter.
