So yeah, I've been doing a LOT of reading for Classics. 25 pages a night may not seem like much, but try reading 25 pages of translated dactylic hexameter. Yeah. That's what I thought. You can be quiet now.
Anyway. So life is getting busier and busier by the day, and yet I'm not changing my habits. I still spend wayy too much time on Facebook, and it's honestly starting to become a problem. But, good news, I just got a new program, called SelfControl (macs only I think) that doesn't let me access sites I decide (it broke my heart to put flickr and facebook on there, but I did) for however long I decide. So far it's working pretty well, but I'm amazed at how easily I can still distract myself. Like just now, I spent probably an hour watching Christmas on Sesame Street while screen sharing with a friend. Oh computers, how you offer me so many opportunities to destroy my grades.
Oh yeah, almost forgot... big props out to Karen for takin' this for me. Not doing the 10 second dash for once was an amazing change of pace, hahaha.
The next question is...Will the government bail out the nyc bars who have lost money due to the bloomberg boogeyman smokers ban?
my sister comes down in the middle of the night 5 or 6 times and just eats. then she complains about being fat. this is me ensuring that there is still food for the other three people who live in the house and that we don't have to put up with her bitching
"You're cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way. And do you suppose God doesn't care? The proverb has it that "he's a fiercely jealous lover." And what he gives in love is far better than anything else you'll find. It's common knowledge that "God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble."" -- James 4 : 4-6
This is the last of the portraits for the series on the tongue (mouth) and our words. I'm in no way making a statement about politics or current events, because frankly, every person in every field, every job, every culture is guilty of pride and selfishness. Me. You. Everyone. And that deeply embedded flaw (if you will) makes us like spoiled children. It might be better to cover our mouths with tape, sew them shut, wrap them in barbed wire than to left our words reverberate.

We bought new flavor of mineral water. You can not imagine how horrible it tastes, it actually crinkles your faces without you wanting to. No selfcontrol helps. But we had a great laugh about our faces, so it was worth it :)
I am not kidding when I say that my stomach is always hungry and it wants to be fed - so I thought what better way to portray it? Now time to eat second breakfast - kind of like a hobbit! I have a fear of being fat one day, because of my lack of self control...seriously!
Glad that I did not go with the "dick in a box" idea, because well that song has been stuck in my head for a day now. Its crazy how much my brain wants me to listen to that song!

"A spring doesn't gush fresh water one day and brackish the next, does it? Apple trees don't bear strawberries, do they? Raspberry bushes don't bear apples, do they? You're not going to dip into a polluted mud hole and get a cup of clear, cool water, are you?"
This is what the series will be (much less violent and shocking, more subtle). Its a 3 week series, each background color and foreground/background image will change. Red is more unsettling and connotes anger, etc. This isn't the final layout, but the overall imagery (I still have to add typography and other treatments).
