oh Hai

Hellz I got a perfect score on my Art History midterm. Not bad considering a majority of students failed miserably and it was on any 4 paintings out of 100.
Tomorrow will be swell! I got my new Nikon lens just in time for the hotel and venue, expect photografias.
hmm what else?

I Remember You Well in the Chelsea Hotel...


^Zooey Dechanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Sid and Nancy
Three more days til Halloween! Misfits Horror Punk show and then the Chelsea Hotel were we shall party appropiately. Ah the Chelsea...amoung many of it's famous residents that have included Jack Kerouac (where he wrote On The Road), Allen Ginsberg, William S Burroughs, Tom Wolfe, Stanley Kubrick, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Dylan Thomas, Tom Waits, The Grateful Dead, Andy Warhol's Supertars, Ryan Adams, Richard Hell, Madonna, Leonard Cohen and Sid Vicious where he 'allegedly' stabbed Nancy. Too many references to this hotel in songs, books and films that I know. I'm contemplating getting a blonde wig and being Nancy, since I will be wearing the typical attire anyway.
Last night there was no class but they were playing Night of the Living dead. As I was waiting for Jeremy in the G Building a bunch of photo students started taking photos of me...At least 30. It's odd knowing your picture is on someone else camera right now. . Anyway. the movie was good.

I made several more necklaces last night but they are unfinished until I can pick up more clasps. Hopefully I can make an Etsy account and make a few bucks. I also finished sewing my corset for the Misfits show on Halloween. After that the Chelsea Hotel! Cannot wait!
Also...


fuckin cupcake car!?

Chaos Reigns...


Saw Lars von Trier's Antichrist at the IFC in the city on Friday.
.....
^ my reaction after the movie. it was...affecting. in what way, im not positive. Although there were a couple graphic scenes featuring genital mutilation, the emotional plague and build up the three beggars (grief, pain, despair) and the outcome is what was disturbing. It struck me as misogynist but coming across from a woman."She" while doing research for her thesis on GYNOcide and the history of Witchcraft, convinces herself that her own gender is evil. The cinemtography was beautiful and was shot in "weird, pulsating, muted digital color ".William Defoe was amazing as usual, and Charlotte Gainsbourg was perfectly casted and always struck me as witchy... I think from here on after, the sound of falling acorns and cute foxes and deer will probably freak me out, after all Nature is Satan's Church right?.

The click click clack of the heavy black trains, a million engines in neutral

I ventured into Brooklyn to see the band Beast @ Galapagos Art Space last night. I was on the guest list but got turned away because... there is a bar ?? its legal to fight and die a in a pointless war, pollute ourselves with cigarettes, mark our bodies permanently at 18 but no, you cannot have a bar or a drink glass of wine! If our culture taught people how to drink and didn't make it so restricted and therefore more appealing, there would be hardly any binge drinking or stomach pumping from alcohol posioning. Look at Euro culture (i.e Italy) where it's part of the culture to have a glass of wine with your meal, etc.
Anyway thats besides the point. I came out here to enjoy the music amongst you hipsters, not drink. let me in!
It was a good night nonetheless, I usually come to DUMBO for the ice cream on the pier and the view across the River to city and of course Grimaldis. I cursed the fact that my Nikon is broken (damn you tainted stone). "So how come it looks so beautiful?" The East River was lit up by the reflections of the buildings. We explored the intricate ship playgroud and smoked a spot of tea in the hull then moved over to the shore and i listened to the cars pass overheard on the bridges. 'I gave in to the rhythm of the click click clack' of two trains passing each other. It was the most incredible sound.

Sarah = new Girl( ); {Messagebox.show (Sarah + " thinks C# is pretty brutal")}

...snailing my way through this C# book. Having to use all these algorithemns and equations, teaching myself the langauage. I'm more partial to xaml and vector graphics.
However! Last week we filmed two hours of footage for a feature on Microsoft's Faces of .NET (this is big!, they are now selling our application.) Sales team consisting of 2 people? OUT! Microsoft? IN!
Below is the video under Technology Officer.
you can see my hunched over self in one scene and my monitor and a bit of my shoulder working on some graphics :D

At the moment others' jealously is invoking my most prominent deadly sin of wrath.. How about investing in some self esteem and stop bothering me with your whiny whims!
Negative energies and unfortunate situtions have been effective lately. It seems to hav estarted after my accidental 'trip' to nowhere, brooklyn.. I had a revelation and determined the source: a tainted tiger eye. I didn't think clearing the stone for reuse wasn't going to be enough so we took the tiger eye which felt heavy and drained and some necessities on our mission: salt, cigarettes, and truffles (for snacking) then buried the stone far from the vincinity of the house. theres some new age witchcraft for you... hah.
