Diane’s World

Josh gave me this band. Click here to hear the song. It’s Teitur, he’s from an English island. It’s good. It’s sounds kind of like an odd mix of… Damien Rice, Bebo Norman, Colin Hay, and occasionally Arcade Fire or the Fray. Yes, check them out. All of them, but especially Teitur this week.

Anyways, my life in the past week. All I really have to say for Monday-Friday afternoon was basically meeting after class after working out after cooking after sleeping after worship after homework. Not much time for anything out of the ordinary.

Don’t believe me?

This is my wall calendar that holds only my appointments - not homework:

Yes, so feel bad for me.
On friday afternoon, I saw Rachel off for her first date with Josh. They hate this picture, but I’m gonna put it up anyways:

Afterwards, I was kidnapped by Jason and Amanda on Friday and we went to Blue Mountain.

It was pretty good. We had crocodile. Yes, I ate crocodile. It tastes kind of like a rubbery version of chicken. Anyways, I do believe that is the first time I’ve ever said the words “i need to go pick crocodile out of my teeth”. I was amazed.

This is the crocodile:

We had a really nice waiter… more about that if you come talk to me in person.

Well, Amanda and I matched, so we took pictures. Yes - here they are:

Anyways. Saturday I got some work done actually.

This is my very first time ever doing 3-D artwork, and my sculpture is going pretty well.

THIS IS UNFINISHED: this sculpture has yet to be fired (twice) so it will shrink and change colors eventually. But this is the start:

I’m very excited to finish this.

And I also started a painting in the style of Hans Hoffman - an abstract expressionist who did mass studies on color and space.

So keep your eyes open for images of that… it will take a while before I am confident posting images of that painting: it’s my very first origional painting that completely excludes recognizable subject matter.

Going completely abstract is a lot harder than it looks, believe me.

Here is a piece by Hans Hoffman so you know what I am talking about (I DIDN’T PAINT THIS… but I wish I did )

After the massive amounts of artwork (I am thinking about changing my address to the art department…)

Amanda and Jason came over and cooked for me, and we sat on couches being lazy useless blobs and watching episode after episode of Veronica Mars. Golly that’s a good show.

It seems like every person Rachel and I have shown a few episodes to has become addicted. Contact me if you too want an unhealthy addiction to the greatest TV show ever created.

Welp now it’s superbowl sunday. I was rooting for the bears. Not because I’m a huge football fan, but because laura was rooting for the colts and I wanted to laugh at her when the bears killed them.

Too bad things don’t seem to ever go my way

Here’s a picture of Peyton Manning, just for you, Laura.

Ok Laura, I get it. You win.

Welp, it’s time for me to prepare for yet another completely insanely and gloriously busy week. I hope all of you are doing well…
