Procrastination

My history essay is due tuesday, My thumbnails for intro to design are due tonight, I need to be prepared for painting class tomorrow, I have a presentation on thursday, weekly design projects, and another essay due in three weeks, but here I am blogging. You are probably wondering why I'm being such a dumb shit? I think I may be programmed to do this procrastinate thing, it has been happening since elementary school math homework. It might be like a serious birth defect, some weird(er than usual) form of masochism, or maybe its a genetic trait, like junk collecting? What ever way that it happens, if there is anyone out there in the internet that can cure it without the use of mind altering drugs or an elastic band around my wrist (believe me, by the time I realize I have procrastinated it is probably to late to solve the issue by snapping elastic to my wrist) I would really appreciate some help for the sake of what is left of my sanity.

p.s one week after reading week and all I have done is homework...
this sounds like a contradictory statement, but so you know what I did over reading week? nothing! And now I am pying for my mistakes but my brain is like HOLD ON LADY, what the HELL is your problem? Have you not herd of ENDORPHINS you know that hormone that keeps you happy? well were out of crack and its time to restock!
And so out of punishment I have a mental block.

p.p.s Before I got the mental block at about 1:30 today in class when I just did not want to write notes any more I managed to get quite a bit of stuff done but not good enough yet. Anyhow for my painting class I will be doing a collage based on Hyronimus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights, but instead of telling the story of man's fall from grace on catholic terms I have decided to take another creationist Idea of Flying Spaghetti Monster and reference how culture with the internet can become viral and reach people at the rate religion once did

Its Reading Week Bitches!

Hey everybody, so its reading week now, I got back home last night around 8pm and got stoked for the Olympic opening ceremony (whoo!) and as Wayne Gretzky went down the road to light the external cauldron my day running off 3 hours of sleep betrayed me. I stayed up till midnight and missed the moment I was waiting for! All well the show was pretty sweet (what I saw of it in and out of sleep) and for the next 16 days I will be periodically tuning in to CTV to see team Canada win gold on home turf!

X-Files was also supposed to ensue last night but no thanks to my project being due by 1:30 yesterday my tiredness got the better of me :( But it is effin reading week and I'm in B-Ford all week. Now don't get me wrong I have a shit load to do but I did promise myself the time to play video games (in belated celebration of Wintereenmas) and to get going on x-files because as far as I can remember we are only on season two of like seven.

So part two of the project that was due yesterday for my painting class was a pointilism piece. I decided to do my Nintendo Game Cube, it is now the craziest looking Game Cube out there but the tedium of painting it dot by dot was mind numbing. I put so many hours of my life into that part and on top of keeping up with my other homework (no late marks this semester) any free time I may have had was taken up. On the bright side I got to listen to a bunch of movies I had not seen before (A Scanner Darkly, The Frog Princess, The Lovely Bones, Fear and Lothing in Los Vegas) and re-listened to alot of other ones, for example I sat through all of the Chucky movies (I'm saying Chucky because the bride and seed aren't titled as childs play). Honestly a lot of freaking hours! As much as I wanted to die while making the project I think I am going to make a matching controller (one day).

I have also been spending the last little while preparing for my portfolio review which happened on Wednesday. I seriously think it went really well, I was able to really display myself as worthy of being in the Bdes program. I didn't get a chance to show everything I brought (probably 6 of 9 pieces) but I was thorough and I knew my shit, so now I really need to focus super hard on having grades of Epic proportions!

That has honestly been my life, homework and design, not that I am complaining I chose this lol. I have gone out a little and I got to see this band called KC Roberts play at a bar called the Revival on College Street, which happens to also be the little Italy section of Toronto so I will deffo be back there (but once the weather is warm). They were really good, its like stick Jason Mraz on a Jazz band and that's sort of what they are like plus coolness.

I plan on going to see Cage the Elephant on March 10'th at the Pheonix. It is $16 dollars to go if anyone is interested in joining me I really like them and MGMT lately like really enjoy listening to them which is nice to have. I have also been hearing a lot of Sloan on the radio lately, I wonder if that means upcoming new album? Probably, or not?

I plan on working on my Sadistic Little Girls this summer, getting them out there (there meaning the internet) and updating and refining them. Once I get around to it Im going to ask all of my friends to do me the favor of wearing some merch with them on it to spread it around locally but it may take me a while to finally get to that point :P

I know I'm pretty scarce on the new these days but it won't be like that forever
