Kalasiris

I made this kalasiris for my costume design class…. and it’s just the most comfy thing ever. I don’t wanna take it off.

One garment down, one to go.

What a day…

First off did you see Johnny’s face when S.T. won art direction? He was all “Something I was in won an award? Does not compute.”… It totally deserved it though.

Anyways I can’t wait for therapy. I had some serious anxiety issues today, like I couldn’t stop feeling like I had to be somewhere, I kept looking at the clock and I ended up missing Shakespeare. I think I’m going to change the grading option to Pass/Fail for GPA reasons…

I need things to get better.

Speakeasies

Right, well I have a 3 minute report to give on Prohibition and Speakeasies tomorrow for costume design. Thus far I only have “Speakies were established as a way of getting around Prohibition”… I still have the rest of today to do it… in theory.

Less than great

I’m reporting in with my first grade of the year. It was for some designs in Costume Design when I apparently misunderstood the assignment. I thought we were doing preliminary work before our actual designs, so that’s what I turned in, preliminary work. Granted a B- isn’t bad but I need to get at least an A- in this class. I turned in to Kiki two/four full designs the day she handed them back, I don’t know if that will affect my grade at all though. I hope it will bring it up at least a little bit.

Anyways I kinda rocked this last assignment, which was to design costumes for two different attitudes: vengeful, and frivolous/flirty. I ended up doing designs for two Buffy Between The Lines characters, both designs are for episode 6. The pictures are kinda crappy since I took them with my phone…

Also I’ve been struck by a weird desire to see The Facts of Life again… go figure.

I’m riding the endorphin high…

I honestly think I need therapy more than once a week because I’m starting to get very antsy and anxious again. It’s not fun. Anyways I went to the gym and I’m feeling good for a while. I got most of my costume design homework done so far. Just a few more things left to do but it’s not a big deal.

Anyways since I’m here and I have this spot, I figured I should pimp the Buffy Between the Lines Season 2 auditions. Since they are coming. March 8-21st.

Harmony, Principal Snyder, Mayor Wilkins III,  Willy the Snitch, Cordy, Drusilla (Aria I know you read this…. jooooin us), Riley, Oz, Lindsey McDonald, Lilah Morgan, Gwen Raiden, Amy Madison, Larry, Holland Manners, Pat, Alan Finch, Young Wesley (7 years old), Gwendolyn Post, Quentin Travers and many many more! Just keep it in mind.

100 Hits

Thanks everyone. I’m trying to figure out more ways to get more hits… what can I say I’m a bit of a feedback whore… anyways this was an odd day because it was equally as productive as it was unproductive. I got all my study abroad plans of study in, rearranged my room, worked out… yet at the same time I didn’t send the ebay thing I had to and the majority of the day was spent watching BTVS with Aria… we kinda just slammed through the end of Season 2… I got some reading done and mostly all I have this weekend is costume design homework… which is of the good I suppose… now I’m beat… I’m going to sim and go to bed.

I’m too sexy for my Class

Today we discussed the reasons behind fashion and dressing in costume design. Group identity, social class, modesty, protection, utility, comfort (either physical or psychological), adornment. We spent the full two hours of class discussing why people wear the clothes they wear and  what they try to do when they adorn themselves when it occured to me.

I am the most BORING dresser ever. The only adornments I wear are two necklaces I never take off and 6 earrings I never take off. The only shirts I own are Gap T-shirts and  Old Navy tanktops, if I buy something more interesting than that chances are I will lose it. I pull out a new shirt from my drawer and sniff the pants on my floor to see if they are decent for the outside world. I wear the same pair of shoes every single day, and if I’m lucky enough to remember I may put on the Sweeney Todd hoodie I got at Hot Topic.

It’s very strange to just sit and think about the way you dress, why you dress, how much time you spend dressing. Try it sometime. Hopefully you won’t end up with the identity crisis I did.

FRIDAY!!!!

And my brain is too off to come up with a good subject header. It’s actually a rather gloomy day with the weather out there.

Well as my exhuberance shows, it’s friday, and I’ve made it through the first week of the semester but so far things are looking pretty shittastic. I’ve had a couple of emotional sinkholes this week which haven’t put me in a mood much to be doing homework. Luckily this weekend I only have some Ab Psy chapters and Psychology of Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood chapters to read and to do a little research on white trash, prisoners, and pimps in the 1970s for costume design.

The other two classes I haven’t filled you in on are PAEA and Costume Design I suppose. PAEA looks like it’s gonna be Intro Psych all over again… which yay I did well in that! And CD looks like it’s gonna be a lot of fun, I like my prof, Kiki. She’s much more chill about art than Prof. F was so even though I’m not really a drawer I feel like I’ll do alright in this class.

Oh how I miss the 3.65 I had my very first semester. That was a pretty number. Alas… first semester my first year was pretty rocking. I wonder if karmically everything’s balancing out. I had one good semester so now everything is crap or something like that? Anyways I don’t intend to be emo.

They say that exercise is as effective in many cases at treating depression as meds. As someone who is opposed to medication except in dire circumstances, I’ve been trying to work out for a month but alas no good has come to my mental health. I think it’s finally time to bite the bullet and see a shrink before I do something dumb to myself.

But for now I’m gonna chill a bit, maybe watch Bones with Aria, see if I can get in touch with E.

Oh and first of the month.. rabbit rabbit.
