wooangggg

MAN WHAT IS UP. ive been so bad at updating this, and i really have no excuse because ive spent the past week i've been home laying around drawing comics and eating brownies. i still havent set my computer up due to a lack of monitor + keyboard, which means ive been using my parents' terrifying laptop that i spent about 5 hours fixing up there other day so i could properly view the internet. so there's that. even lily has updated her blog like three times, which is saying a lot. ive also realized i dont really talk to people anymore, so to catch all you cats up whom i love but never speak to:

PROVIDENCE HOMIES: i live on broadway now, well not this very moment, but this next year. it seems far, but really, it isnt, and its really radical, so you should come visit and taste our food. also, as im not residing in providence this year, if anyone is going to be in the providence area i have a lonely, empty room just sitting there. JUST WAITING TO BE USED. also, lovely roommates, if you can read this, please water my plant, he is probably very thirsty by now. also, i request details on meals that have ensued in my absense, photos would be appreciated.

SFV HOMIES: back in california now. although, as i realized a lot of you dontk now, i live in altadena now. which means getting to and from the valley is a trek (nothing too serious though). Anyways, i do have an internship this summer at the most radical animation studio this half of the valley (more on that later), but i do have a pretty light schedule, meaning i have a lot of time to hang out, or if you know of a job available FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HIRE ME. but its cool, ive been getting into a movie groove lately--Academy 6 in pasadena has $3 movies, $2 matinees, and $1 hotdogs, which in my mind sounds like a prreeettty wicked saturday. just saying.


anyways, when i get my computer up and running, which should be soon, i have a lot to share (finals, projects, food, dirty houses), so yeah. juts hold in there, ill get my shit together soon.

Warm english muffin and a cup of demon tea to send me home.

Back home tonight. Until September, my sweet Providence.

Back

Sorry ive been gone the past week or so, I've been moving and theres been a lot to do....a lot. I've been sleeping in a room missing its window for the past week. Finally got our internet up though and am once again connected to the world, so more coming soon. I'll be in Providence for another week, then home it is.

7--11 Massacre

bad idea yes but i regret nothing

SNESING

So i guess one of my recent test videos from the Super Nintendo project has been floating around, going all the way to Kotaku, which actually kind of blows my mind. A particular thanks to Offworld for bringing the initial attention to the project (as far as my knowledge goes). Anyways, I realized some of the sites that posted it tended to just post the video and what they thought was happening, rather than actually what was going on. And while it does come off as my vision of a really rad atari remake of SFII, that wasnt exactly the initial goal (although it was the initial attraction..maybe ill have to follow up with a full atari-conversion), and it was actually just a test video. If you're interested at all in the project you can check out the project website (not maintained very well), or just check the project blog, which is updated way more often. And please, let me know what you think! It strange to think of people actually seeing what I do now, and it's a little offsetting.

Power Rings

Final setup with working Power Rings + mask. I still have to properly photograph it and get some sound samples up, because after all the point of it is how it sounds, not looks. Abd I know, this is like ages old. But now that im done with everything ill have all this wonderful free time and things will great. Theres a lot to go back and reevaluate.

Also, anyone who's staying in Providence this summer give me a hollar, im eventually leaving but ill be around for a few weeks into June. We can get sandwiches at Farmstead.

After 44 hours

Ready for the sweet, sweet embrace of sleep.
Summer will be waiting for me when i wake.

THE DAY OF FREE FOOD
(or why today was awesome)

Breakfast: Free coffee from Carr Haus, and a mango that was almost too ripe

Lunch: Homemade sandwich on free raisin bread from Carr Haus's closing

Dinner: For our meeting in film narrative we were supposed to have a BBQ/danceoff. But because of inclement weather, it was rescheduled to pizza party. I was expecting just a few pizzas and some boring presentations. But rather, in addition to pizzas Gloria made a spectacular summer salad with raisins and grilled onions, a tray of red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting (each topped with fresh berries), and a bag (literally, a Nordstrom's bag) of some of the best homemade cookies ive had. They were Frankenstein cookies, basically a combination of every great cookie you could imagine. I love Gloria Masciarotte, ignore what anyone else says, take her class (aside from her cookie magic, she gives the most interesting lectures ive had).

Post Dinner: Free midnight breakfast at The Met, featuring the usual assortment of slightly-better-than-mediocre breakfast treats. And two cups of free coffee.

Now: I really should be working on finals rather than blogging about food, but I'd rather relive this delectable day for a few more moments before diving into a world of hex and pixels.

HOLY FUCK

Film Narrative

Animation Crit Notecards

Limited editions

Thursday:

What Cheer+ Man Beacon, short class with Al Chin, train ride, Animal Collectinghue, then back to Providence in time before store 24 closed. Oreo dinner with cashews. Most intense verision of leaf house ive heard. I prefered this set, light show, and crowd. Probably the best east coast crowd ive seen at a real show since Justice, which was more than a year ago, but that's expected with them. Groupers set was her playing a guitar sample, huming into a mic with reverb, occasionally strumming a few strings on her guitar, and boring. Well worth it though. Felt like half of our school was in Boston--school field trip. Notable set differences, who could win a rabbit, a superior version of slippi, and the absense of banshee beat. have funn in la

Lunch Today

To strangely contrast what I put inside my body last night, I had a spectacular sandwich from Farmstead downtown for lunch today. I had never been to their downtown location, though I have always admired their sandwiches from afar. They definitely hold up to what I had imagined them to be. This was the Jabbon Beurre, a simple ham sandwich perfected. Perfectly toasted, fluffy french bread, ham, a sweet and creamy butter, cornichons, and dijon mustard. I have it step by step, so its like youre actually eating the sandwich. And to top it all of, it was a beautiful day outside, perfect weather, birds-a-chirpin. SPECTABADOOBULAR

its in the microwave as i type this
