the one that makes me scream
okay, and maybe a little social justice, cultural criticism and blind rants re: everything that pisses me off.

- graduated with a BFA in Intermedia from PNCA
- tied with Jakob Vala for the thesis writing award (and I’m still surprised that I was given this honor. Honestly, I read some pretty damn good papers from my class.)
- installed 9 dildos in the BFA thesis show. Last day to see them puppies is next Thursday. After that, I’ll be selling those fuckers. Oh, shit. That reminds me that I need to do some documentation before I pass them on.
- met with the Assistant Dean for Inclusion from Reed’s Multicultural Affairs dept.
- also met with the director from Reed’s MALS program (Master of Arts in Liberal Studies) Don’t tell anyone Reed is my top choice.
- regular volunteer work at PLACE, and loving Wayne Bund’s process.
- got to see a few pieces from EFF Portland, my favorite piece was Brent Coughenour’sIn Search of Lost Time.
- Met with two of my favorite Tumblr/IRL peeps, molly & hannah, for fries and drinks and a general ladies & non-maybe-lady nite
- went “camping” over memorial day weekend with the missus. we couldn’t find any available camping sites; they were all reserved. so, we turned off our phones and stayed at home, eating camp food, making coffee in our camping percolator, and pretended we were camping.
- made a matchbook pinhole camera!! but, it’s been too overcast to use it. i don’t mind filtered lighting, but come on, Portland! I like a little more contrast in my black and white images. I’ll eventually get that roll shot and processed…and someday it will get scanned.
- got to see K before she moved ALL THE WAY TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. :( Best of luck, my friend! Tag it up, sister!
Uh…that’s pretty much it. The rest of my time is split between reading/writing/making and being a badass house-spouse: making food from scratch (thanks to food allergies), keeping the budget up to date, paying bills, cleaning house…My life’s not too exciting, but I dig it.
Pretty much.
I’m like, “Baby, I can’t read you’re damn writing. I know you’re gonna be a doctor, but goddamn!”
i love her so much.
she passed her GPAs yesterday, and now she is officially a secondary in the clinic!

OMG, why does this look SO GOOD?

Side note: Today was quite crappy (mostly ‘cause it was so unproductive). Although, I did get to see some of my favorite PNCA and Tumblr peeps today. Didn’t get to hang out much, but it did warm my heart to see their faces.
Found out THIS MORNING, that I had to go to graduation rehearsal.
Also, spent several hours on campus, only to realize I wasn’t going to install today—too many fumes in my installation space. I need to wait until the paints dry, otherwise my dildos will absorb all that stink.
Wore fliip-flops ALL DAMN DAY. Obvs. the wrong choice when walking around downtown.
What I’m looking forward to: hanging with a few friends this Sat. night (unless the mrs. made plans already, but I doubt she did. She has midterms this week & next). Anyway, dinner & drinks w/friends and a birthday party? I’m into it.
Also, I would like cake…and cuddles.
That’s all.

I need a drink…maybe two.
Thank gawd I have a job, and that students reached out to me (outside of my scheduled hours). I don’t know how else we could have made it through the summer.
Thanks, my little Thesis Stars!!

It was pretty sweet. But, now that I’m sitting here, I can feel that about-to-get-sick-scratchy-throat thing happening.
Also, this dude that is sitting in front of me is full on composing and air conducting. It makes me smile.
