Spent the weekend visiting my parents in Denver. Amber was in Cincinnati visiting her sister so it was just me and my mom and dad. It was good to spend some time with them and we had a lot of fun..jpg)
This picture is me and my dad outside the Molly Brown House in Denver. We did a tour of it and it was really interesting. "The unsinkable Molly Brown" All I knew about her was from the portrayal of her in Titanic (you know, the blockbuster smash starring Leo and Kate), well anyway her life story is pretty interesting and the wall paper in the house was off the hook!

Well, I'm sure it seems as though I've abandoned this blog since we moved to Ventura so probably no one checks it anyone (I mean, the 3 people that used to probably don't anymore ;) Anyway, if you happen to read this I just wanted to say check this out. Amber recently began contributing to a really cool NYC fashion blog/website called Refinery29. Her first piece went up on the site today, it is in the pipeline section of the site. Pretty rad!

I am so sick of studying. It feels so strange to be spending time studying flashcards about temperature inversion and mitochondria when I already feel so disconnected from college. Like a time warp to 3 years ago or something. Anyway, I'm done with biology as of yesterday, and that is a relief. Today I will take my 3 remaining finals and then that is that. haha this semester was so ridiculous because I never really got invested into my classes because of course I was spending all my time working on my BFA exhibit and working on my portfolio and interviewing for jobs and doing freelance work... somehow memorizing the layers of the atmosphere didn't seem as important. I'll be honest though, I do really enjoy learning this kind of stuff. I just wish I had the time for it. As I'm cramming for these finals I sort of wish I would've taken these classes earlier when I'd had more time to invest in them. Especially this global climate class. I have been so lost in there most of the semester, which is unfortunate because it is all super interesting. But now it is just sort of a hoop I have to get through. Okay well anyway, back to the flashcards.

Last night was the opening reception for Everyeveryday. Thank you to everyone who came! The response was incredible and I was so excited to see everyone becoming so engaged in the exhibit. I am excited for the exhibit to continue to evolve as people's stories get added to the gallery.
Also, Field Study (the collaborative show that Keenan and I put together) opened last night too and we were really pumped with people's interest in the eclectic visuals. Below are a few photos from last night.
PS A shout out and thank you to Quinn for his great submissions including that sweet little self-portrait of his face at 6am.
PPS My friend Ashton Rodgers took better photos of the show before the opening and I will post those soon.

Maybe I am a little late with this.. but I just discovered the song Scenic World by Beirut and I think it changed my whole world. Or at least made it onto my favorite songs list.

I had the weirdest dream last night. I pulled a booger out of my nose and it turned out to be a 6" long toy alligator.

If you like movies that A) are awesome B) are intense C) are about corrupt cops D) are also about a good cop that tries to stand up to the corrupt cops, and E) have Denzel Washington in them, then you will LOVE training day. I just watched it for the first time and it was insane. If you haven't seen it yet you might as well just go ahead and buy it here.

A call for entries!
Or something like that... Okay everybody, I am creating a zine called EveryEveryDay and it is sort of an experiment in breaking personal and social norms and challenging our routines and daily habits. Each issue will feature two different "assignments" and the content of the zine will be stories from people who completed the assignment. Hopefully the stories will be interesting or insightful or funny, because hopefully the experiences will be interesting or insightful or funny (or maybe awkward, embarrassing, or weird). Anyway, it is good to shake up your routine every now and again, right guys!? Do something different and see what comes of it. You will either learn something new or realize that there is nothing left in life for you to learn.. and either way you win! So anyway, do yourself a favor and try this little experiment!
Below is a little flier I threw together with the first two assignments. If you want to participate then please pick one of the assignments below and send me the story by Sunday September 7th!
