No need to believe all the Blake Griffen hype...don't get me wrong, he is a monster. I just don't think he is big enough to play power forward in the nba as effectively as everyone anticipates. Ricky Rubio is as crafty as any point guard in the league currently. He lacks some athleticism yet has quick feet, insane ball handing and a floor I.Q. that is beyond his years. I am hoping sacramento feels the same way, they are in disarray and need a serious point guard as well as a real coach. This is all I could ask for next year. Just find a way to get this guy, trade down if you have to. The worst thing that could happen is they end up with the 3rd pick or Ricky does not enter the draft. I am interested to see what happens.

it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Today has been really pleasant outside. I walked around for a little while and snapped a few shots. I had just gotten Aperture loaded to my computer and I wanted to get used to the ins and outs. I like it, i'd say even more than lightroom actually (much faster uploads from the camera) Anyway here are a few photo's from this afternoon. I think we are gonna try out the sauna this evening. I need to sweat out some toxins.

playing the waiting game

this is all I have to say today...

My apartment has sprung a leak!
All of the sudden we hear a constant dripping noise and think it is probably abby's doing. Nah, our ceiling is caving in and the carpet is soaked from the padding up. The main line broke and was leaking through the walls. Looks like it is fixed for now. We have a fan in our apartment for the next day or so and then we have to get the carpet cleaned. Hopefully no drywall needs to be taken out, wish it would have happened after we moved out but that is just how it goes sometimes

so little time

I've got so much reading to do in my new classes!
On another note, I am excited that k-os will be releasing his new album later this month. He has done well not leaking it so far.
I cannot seem to find it anywhere. Oh come on, I was gonna purchase the damn thing regardless!
Here is a cool video they made recently for the track, 4321. It is an awesome 12 fps video shot in a mall somewhere in Canada.

told you so.

Here are a couple of things I did for drawing class.
I enjoy charcoal, just not that shitty newsprint paper, all the values get saturated and when I work a lot with the paper, the fibers become weak and it ruins the textures and gradients. I enjoyed the class overall, when I do anything on my own time I will be inclined to use good quality paper. Anyway here are a few like I said, nothing outstanding but it is a start, I never got more than I think 30 minutes on any one application so as you can see, there are not many heads...go figure.

Well, Looks like the previously mentioned move is imminent.
Mary put in the notice today so there is not likely a chance to turn back now. There is a positive. We are going to be moving during the weekend starting saturday I believe and Mary will be taking PTO so that works out better than previously anticipated. The moving day looks to be the 11th, so we are looking at just under one month. Cool thing is that we don't have to totally commit to packing things. We will only need a handful of boxes since we are just going back and forth between two building which are right next to each other. By no means is it going to be FUN but I suppose I am willing to embrace any silver lining to be found. So if any of you are free on that particular day, feel free to help us. Or if you just wanna come over and pamper the anxiety ridden cats, that would be cool too. I think we are gonna try and borrow some pro dollies from the ups guy cause he is cool like that. I started working out again in preparation for the move. I don't want any crazy muscle cramps like last time (was not cool at all).

I had to study a good portion of the morning since I have a couple of finals on Monday. Come Tuesday I start four new classes which include speech, english, art survey and portfolio development. In ten weeks I will finally start my B.S. program and get down to brass tax. That also means I will be in search of a new student loan which hopefully does not pose any serious problems, It seems that it always gets stressful when that time comes around.

I missed out this morning on the St. Patty's day parade with Neil, Megan and everyone. I had a lot of fun last year but I found that I had too much on my plate this morning, I really need to watch my money as well. Seems like things always pop up and rid me of my budgeting or lack there of. I just have too many vices, but vices are important to have I think, unless they cause trouble of course. Well I need to get back to some productive chores and errands so that I feel like I am worth something.
