i need a break. Seven evenings and Six days until the big final rendering is due. Once it's over I will be able to relax somewhat, if i get a B in the class, then i can REALLY relax, if not :( i don't want to think about it. winter break will be nice regardless though. I am going to rest, spend time with mike, and draw. it's going to be nice. I just have to suffer seven more stress filled sleep deprived nights. |

facebook is tempting me. so sad.
even if i go without it for the full five days as planned, it seems like the experiment is still a failure because i am still finding other ways to procrastinate without it. So now- although experiment is fail, my continued non-use is a test of will power alone, and not so much an attempt at less procrastination.
i had other things to say, but i need to stop this procrastination nonsense

because i know your all super curious about the professors at the san jose animation/illustration department.
Teacher's I've had: John Clapp- (the photo copy guy) David Yee (the $20 guy) and Sheldon Borenstein (the everybodies in guy).
so much to tell, but laziness is greater.
-jeanette
EDIT: A few minutes ago- 9:30ish, a stranger knocked on our apartment door. mare bear is asleep so I dont think she was expecting anybody, skye came out of the bedroom and we stood infront of the door for a few minutes and then they left. haha. We looked through the peep hole, but all we could see what a black t-shirt, i guess the person was standing too close to the door cause we couldn't see the rest of them. weirrrrrrrrrd & creepy. |

It's rare that a complete song will pertain to something I'm going through, or how i'm feeling, usually It will just be a few verses and tid-bits, and this is one such occasion.
I've been listening to Ben Folds a lot in the last couple days, and I can't help but think sappily about these lyrics:
I know that you went straight to someone else
While I worked through all this shit here by myself
And I think that you should spend some time alone
But if you won't
Then you won't
And I will
Consider you gone

So saw where the wild things are last night. It was a group of about 12, three of them were friends, a couple acquaintances, and the rest i didn't know at all. After the movie it was a little awkward, a few people took off right away, but a bunch of them just wanted to hang out in the parking lot and just talk and talk and talk. My awkwardness didn't allow me to talk much, and it was cold. Mike had given me a ride ... and he was really cold ... so i was waiting for him to be like "weeeelll ready to go? i'm cold" but he didn't haha, he just stood there while everyone talked- occasionally contributing to the conversation. This one girl pretty much dominated the conversation, she just talked and talked and told story after story- and it was funny because she kept bringing up our Professor Sheldon- and commenting on how HE talks so much, but she could really rival him. One thing she said about the movie- which i didn't agree with- but didn't challenge was
"if you have to think about it THAT much it doesn't belong in the movie"
she didn't like how some of the things in the movie seemed "pointless" to her, or didn't make sense/weren't self explanatory. I absolutely don't agree with her, in regards to this movie or in movies in general. I means sure sometimes it can be weird/annoying with the plot deviates into something pointless, but this was not the case in this movie, and I don't think it's a bad thing to think about or look for symbolism in film! The first thing she thought was pointless, was a joke, a little random joke that was in the movie, that i thought worked and was funny. Another part was a short scene that involved some original characters and ... i can't really remember where i was going with this- i guess she just thought they didn't really have a purpose, but i absolutely think that they did and they served it.
I thought the movie was good and I liked it. The movie was really beautiful. The dialogue was FANTASTIC and the performances were FANTASTIC. I can't emphasize enough how good the writing was, it was so real and so accurate to how people- specifically children- really behave. It was great in contrast to the preview that was shown before the film- "The Spy Next Door" or something like that, starring Jackie Chan, it's just another one of those typical shitty kid movies where the kids behave the way kids always do in movies- think- The Baby Sitter with Vin Diesel, or Cheaper by the Dozen (not that i've seen those movies- but just from the previews you know what i mean right?) The way that kids act in these movies- isn't a representation of what kids really are. THIS MOVIE CAPTURES THIS PERFECTLY. MAX is a REAL KID, a real naughty kid, but a real kid. He throws temper tantrums, he cries, he's silly, sweet, loving, creative and imaginative, he tells stories, he exaggerates, he's lonely....
The thing that prevents it from reaching that coveted "favorite movies" list is the mood. The mood is very consistent and almost uncomfortably melancholy, which was not what I was expecting at all. I thought there might be some of it- but it really encompasses almost the entire movie. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but it's a personal preference for there to be a lot more highs than lows in a movie, and even when this movie did get somewhat- "high" there was this impending feeling that it's going to be short lived. Well crafted, great soundtrack, dimensional characters ... I recommend it, it's really good, and I'd really like to see it again while it's still in theatres if my schedule will allow.

watch this trailer so you can see my point about "kids" in movies. I'm sure you know what i meant, but i just want you to feel my pain by watching it anyway. |

Can't sleep :( ugh. I drank tea, and read before attempting, and I'm pretty sure i was asleep for awhile, but then i woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. Class is at 10:30 today. If i fell asleep RIGHT now mid-sentence i could get about 2 1/2 hours of sleep before showering and what not.
I've had a very unproductive week. After I turned in my shitty unfinished painting i've just shut down. It's unfortunate. I'm motivated, I want to get better, I want to work hard, but then why haven't i been DOING it? I suck!! Why don't i listen to myself? My legs hurt, and I'm so tired.

So i've probably made entries in the past about how I grow sooo tired of eating the same foods over and over and over again here in san jose, and that living off ramen and chicken nuggets makes me want to die. So this semester- NO chicken nuggets- actually, I haven't bought ANY frozen dinners so far this semester (except 2 pot pies that i haven't eaten yet). Instead i've been making pasta, still doing the ramen occasionally, and i've been making a lot of casseroles, and it's been great so far. Although i will admit it's only October, but the great thing about the casseroles is they're always a little different depending on what i have here. The reason i'm making this entry is because TODAYS WAS SO GOOD!
I cooked a bag of frozen veggies in the microwave, put them in the casserole dish, and then mixed in the cream of mushroom&garlic. It looked rather meager than my usual casseroles, so I decided to line the bottom of the pan with bread slices (whole, not torn up) piled the veggie/soup mixture on top, added some broth&milk (the recipe called for sour cream but i ain't got that) some frenchs fried onions and popped that sucker in. After 20 minutes i put some more of the onions on top, five more minutes in the ovan to make it crispy and WAH-LAH!!! It was so good! I've put bread crumbs in cassaroles before, but i usually will toast the bread slices and then will rip it up, which is good too, but just lining the bottom of the pan with two slices of bread made a totally different consistency and it was so great!
I ate too much, tried to work on homework, and fell asleep for a couple hours- so that's not good. but i just wanted to say that woooooo fuck chicken nuggets!!

So much work to dooo ... but I don't want to get started ... wahhh.
Took a nap a little while ago because my class- was - canceled ... sort of? My expressive drawing class is so weird, last thursday instead of class the teacher scheduled individual meetings at different times- you'd think he could just have prepared something for us to do while he met with people- but no, we were just supposed to show up at his office at our meeting time. Then today, we go to class and he gives us a few announcements and then tells us we can go! So i came home and took the nap and now i feel like bleehhhh. you know what i'm talking about.
This morning Skye and I had a crazy kitchen incident with the effects of Mary's "children" ... i'll tell you more about it later.
-jeanette
EDIT:
letter i wrote to aubrey:
Mary is a forensic science major. She decided to do an extra credit project where you have to raise maggots from rotting meat in the ground. Then you pick the maggots out at different stages "sanitize" them, and bottle them for class. I told her NOT to do this experiment in the apartment, because I foresaw something terrible, but she did it anyway. She put her meat in a jar and put the jar on the balcony. So flies started coming in pretttty frequently while it was out there.
Then about a week ago, she did the "sanitizing" process which was to cook them in a frying pan over the stove to kill bacteria i guess to "preserve" them. Gross!! Even though she was done with the project it took her awhile to finally get rid of the gross maggot jar, but she did last week. She told me she dumped it down the garbage shoot (which is in the apartment building hallway).
This morning, Skye wakes me up- she says there is something really gross in the kitchen. I thought maybe Chewie had thrown up or something. No, there were maggots crawling out of our garbage can, and making their way across the floor, tons of them!!! It was SO GROSS. So we were freaking out, and she started to sweep them into a pile and i picked them up with paper towels and threw them away. When we were done, i took a shower, and when i got out and was dressed and ready for class, i came out into the kitchen and picked up my portfolio bag and there was a maggot hiding underneath it, then i picked up my shoes and there were like 8 hiding under those!! So i screamed and freaked out, and picked them up with tissue paper and flushed them down the toilet. Needless to say, i was late for class, and it was a very disgusting maggoty morning. |

OH MY GOD. So these are the people who run the Animation Club at my school. I've only spoken to two of them- (Jon the president, and Marty) and it was on one occasion in the animation lab in the wee early hours of the morning after getting no sleep. I think this video is freaking great!!!
