i've been waiting for these dates to come out since ... last feb?!?! and now that they're out.. i can't go to any of'm.... *sigh* SHE EVEN GOES TO RED BANK and i can't go.. ahhhhhhhh. =**(

anyway, so lately i've been wondering how far i can walk before i can't walk anymore. i don't know why i keep thinking about this.. i guess it feels like i CAN'T get tired from walking. yeah, i probably sound like an idiot right now. haha. but like, i've been to the city with lots of guys and we walk everywhere and they always get tired and have to sit, and i'm not at all tired. maybe art school in NYC that one summer helped.. but i don't know! i just feel like you can put me in any city (oh gosh, if u put me in the suburbs, i will get tired.. tired of the scenery!) and i will be able to walk forever and totally enjoy myself! a few of my favorite moments have been in the city.. i guess living here in urbana-champaign has made me miss the city a lot..

i remember once, my mom, my bro, my cousin howard and i went to watch rent in the city and when we came out, it was pouring, but we took our time and walked to penn station which was about 15 blocks away. it was so much fun!

and i miss walking around in the city with no particular place to go, listening to my music and just.. walking. observing people that walk by me, reacting to my environment.. just taking it all in. instead of this being a memory that i miss.. it's more of a feeling that i miss... a feeling of being happy doing nothing.. although.. it's not really nothing. it's really loving a place for everything it is and just being happy that u're there.. oh man.. i miss nyc.. !!

i'm getting all nostalgic... and now after talking to my mommy, i really miss jeff!! =( i wanna go home!

so tonite i spent a long time doing a still-life. i don't know how i feel about the outcome.... nor do i know if i am finished. i need to get it some rest and come back to it later and see what i need to do to make it better. any advice??


sorry for poor quality of the pic. it has a huge glare when the flash is on and when it's not on, it's all fuzzy.


zoom-in on glasses. i think this is my favorite part of the drawing.

and here are some pics that will make ellen very mad:

i accidently sat on ellen's bear's mom while i was drawing....and she got all flat =(


oh no!! sad!! it looks like roadkill.... poor snerd!!


but i still LOVE mama snerd bear despite her flatness!! see!

in other news.... while on the phone today, i realized that i might have picked up the midwest accent. OH NO.
