He told her that he could get her a job (which are impossible to get) working in the kitchen and making the same in a year as a year or more of college tuition. Not to mention the fact that SHE WOULD BE LIVING IN MOTHERFUCKING ANTARTICA! She nixed the idea and is gonna go to school in california instead. Crazy.<br />Well, it was this little jelly that got me thinking about college and antartica and all that jazz. He was found in the icy antartic waters. I love jellyfish.<br />I actualy just got back from college visits in NYC. The tour guide at The New School was a really rad kid, a senior at Eugene Lang. He had spent a semester of sophmore year in the "Semester at Sea" program-where you literaly spend a semester on a boat and go all around the world, 13 countries in all. Hot damn. 68 or 108 days. At sea. Fuck yes. Sign me up.<br />The whole college thing is scary as hell. Maybe I'll just make cupcakes for the rest of my life. Or, better yet, I'll just turn into an antartic jellyfish and drift away.<br /><br /><a href="http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photos/translucent-creatures/translucent-jellyfish-arndt.html">national geographic</a>Oliviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15220850752112232208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712629361513965363.post-57106767739254662032009-03-20T19:06:00.000-07:002009-03-20T19:10:49.835-07:00I love the sea.<p><embed pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/player/flash/syndicatedVideoPlayer.swf?vid=" width="400" height="334" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></p><p>Yes, please.</p><p>Oui, si vous plait.</p><p>^_^</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://nationalgeographic.com/">national geographic</a></p>Oliviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15220850752112232208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712629361513965363.post-51518980840516606902009-03-20T18:57:00.000-07:002009-03-20T19:06:52.040-07:00black and white waves<a href="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.56586303.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block;

I was perusing (favourite word) the Icon Magazine archives when I came across an artical on Brizio, a portugeese designer whose forte of sorts is this bleeding markers technique. He has peices where the ink bleeds onto the rim of a bowl, dots the exterior of a vase, and my personal favourite, colors the front of a dress. In this one the felt tip markers are inserted into pockets sewn into the dress.. I think that when I rip off this wonderful piece of art I might do it in two pieces.. a slip and a dress, then I'd make the pockets on the inside of the dress, that way they aren't visable. I don't think I'd want them to show. Call me crazy. Wait, no, don't. I'm also thinking sharpies..</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Il n'est pas tres souvent qu'on trouve un architect/dessine des meubles/artiste/dessine des vetments, mais Fernando Brizio est un grande exception.

Like cells and shit? The Golgi apparatus, rough endoplasmic reticulumes? Just wonderful. For AP we had to decide on a subject for our concentrations. I was torn for a while between doing this thing with folk embroidery of just the dots of light that define a city when you're flying overhead at night or something about cells. I decided on cells. I think the peices are going to be squares, all twelve of them, and all really abstract. I like the idea of having an incredible vagueness combined with technical defenition. Anyways. I'm lazy and tired so I'm not translating or anything... I haven't posted in a while because my computer crapped out on me.
