So I haven't had much time to post blogs lately (except on my myspace page) what with my starting graduate school in September, but I wanted to share some pictures I took for my Artists on Art c l a s s. Charles is really into this whole challenging the definitions of art, and breaking molds, and pushing boundaries. Our most recent assignment was to make "sculptures" out of everyday objects, based on themes set forth by a group called the Janfamily (they don't have a webpage, but if you do a google image search, you might find some of the stuff) and take pictures of it. For one of my sculptures I used my action figures, and actually had a lot of fun with it. I sort of played with the idea of how when you take someone's picture, their first instinct is to look right at you and smile, which I don't like, but my action figures are all smiling (even the bad guys) and so I put them into a couple of different situations and took pictures. I think my favorite one is Hero's Park, because it's got this whole story behind it, and some of the characters actually represent the personalities they have on Justice League Unlimited. One of the girls in my c l a s s pointed out that Flash looked like a dork who was trying to impress Supergirl, and it made me think of the show, how Flash is a not so smart guy, who is always trying to impress the girls and constantly saying the wrong thing. Then we have the classic image of good VS evil, Lex Luthor and Superman fighting (who them pause and look/ smile at the camera) and Supergirl, just trying to live her life, walk her dog, and running into 1. An annoying, overly-egger guy, and 2. a (possible) dangerous situation with Lex and Supes. The other pictures are all based on the same (smiling) theme, but they have slightly different figures in slightly different situations. I also made "sculptures" out of a crate of pumpkins and dirty laundry, if you wanna see them, which you probably don't... :-D I'm off to do my five other projects that were assigned tonight and due next week.

I get it, he's mad at House over the Amber thing. He's in pain, trying to move on. He thinks that if he pushes House out of his life it will minmize his pain becaue House reminds him of Amber, and how he lost her, and everything else that's gone wrong in his life, but he has to know about his "ex" friend's personal history (i.e. the stuff he said to TPOTW in One Day One Room) and even if he doesn't, how could Wilson--who cares about EVERYBODY--push away someone who is so obviously hurting and needy that he can't even function in the real world. House needs Wilson and James needs to be needed. If RSL leaves, the show will fall apart. If Wilson gives up on his new life and moves back in for no reason at all I'm gonna be pissed. So, the only good way for this to end is for House to be a real human being and do something to prove their friendship is worth saving.

WARNING SPOILER FOR NOT CANCER:

anyone else notice how in tonight's episode Wilson looked like he was in absolute agony when House tried to talk to him "Don't. Please don't." I'm not just thinking of slash stuff here, if you aren't friends with somebody, you don't care about them, and even if they say something hurtful (as if "how are you doing?" is hurtful) it doesn't matter nearly as much. He is desperate to have House back as his friend. He's just to stuborn and too hurt to admit it. Anyway that's just what I think. Gladly will welcome other opinions.

I actually got back on Monday night, but I've been so busy getting everything ready so that I can head off to Denver for my first quarter at grad school that I haven't had a chance to post about this yet. Okay, it was AWSOME! First off, I got to meet Michael Rosenbuam, and he was extreamly nice (I went to a panal where I asked him a question, got his autograph, and had my picture taken with him) and funny and he had great stories about all kinds of stuff, including the fact that he was and is a huge sci-fi geek, and he used to go conventions all the time when he was younger, as a guest. I also got to go to panals with James Marsters, Phil Moris, and Brad Dourif. Everybody was wonderful, and even though there were lines to do everything, I was actually able to get in, and get good seats/ do what I wanted to do, whereas at comic con I didn't get to do anything except wonder around the dealers room endlessly, buying way tooo much. So, anyway, here are my pictures, including a copy of the one of me and MR.

PS: I've also got up pictures from my new apartment, and my new car (a gently used 2008 Ford Mustang).
