I haven't updated in a long time.

College makes me forget about the internet. If it looks like I'm online, it's just my computer being all lolz.

1. I got a job on campus for graphic design. I design digital signage, websites, etc.

2. I'm planning on entering the BFA program next (senior) year. Repeat: I'M PLANNING ON ENTERING THE BFA PROGRAM. It's consuming all of my thoughts. I never thought I'd be going for longer than the bare minimum with my education.

3) Oh, and I'm doing it as a transfer student. To even be considered for next year, I have to finish all of my foundations classes (I just have Survey of Art History 1) and then two levels of my emphasis (Graphic Design 1 & 2). GD2 has a pre-req so I had to convince my professor that I was competent enough to take them. It's really inspiring and motivating when my professor went into the idea with extreme doubt and, after seeing my portfolio, saying "You do have a chair in that section of GD2, you can be assured of that."

I'm currently experiencing a rush of creativity that hasn't been displayed on the internet at all. Tomorrow is a long day in the art studios, so I'll make sure to also photograph my favorite pieces.

PEACE BBS~~~

1) I am completely transfixed by Lady Gaga's VMA Performance. If she lasts past the year, she's destined to be an icon. Fake blood? Jewel encrusted wheelchairs and

2) I just applied for an on-campus job that I'm incredibly excited for. Cross your fingers!

You don't really need to read/comment this, this is more for my own personal use.

Things I need to do today:


1) Get boxes from where I used to work (for packing up).
2) Wash everything in the laundry keeper.
3) Clean up my desk.
4) Clean up the car. (it looks soooo good now)
5) Box up books, cameras, dvds, and toys I want to bring with me to college - I have a strict "1 box only" policy.
6) Box up my dorm essentials / mmaayybbee put them in my trunk.
7) Last-minute college dorm shopping.
8) Pack up clothes I won't be wearing until my departure and put them in my trunk.
9) Try not to be too happy, sad, dissapointed, nostalgic - I haven't yet figured out how I'm going to feel. Most likely excited out of my mind.

this is way cool. (for a minute or two - perfect for the exhibitionist)

A ~sneak preview~ of the newest incarnation of Dylan Dias' website. This is a working screenshot.
This was the funnest project ever and I definitely pushed myself. I need more web projects, people. Any takers?

I feel so lazy. I've been "reading" The Brief, Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao since spring and I still haven't finished it. It goes from fantastically amazing to "sorta-kinda-dull" with it's pacing and that's what trips me up. I feel like the last person in the world to read it. Does anyone have any suggestions for what to read next?

Restaurat City owns my life.

Not really, but I really like it. No shitty concept. Just something that makes you smile.

I was under the impression that Phoenix was a rapper...?

For a declaration of love to someone else, he sure found a way to make it all about himself.

I went boating with my family (+ my brother's girlfriend) for 10 hours today. I listened to Velvet Underground and got a lot of reading done on The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, which really isn't as dorky as it sounds (really).

I'm so utterly relaxed that I can't even remember stress.

I'm completely floored by Sebastian Kim. I can't recommend spending some internet time on his website.

That is all.

Everything in my life is directing me to listen to this song over and over and over and over again.
That is all.

1. "Ceremony" by New Order is fantastic. I just wish Ian were alive to record a proper version. I guess, because of what happened, the song is now a memorial. What a good fucking memorial it is, too.

2. I found Purple Rain on vinyl at a swap meet a few weeks ago. It cost one dollar to buy. SCORE!

3. My official move-in date for college is August 19th. This may be a long shot, but I'm hoping to move in everything I need in one afternoon. I'll be packing light. Only the essentials. Computer + Clothes + School Supplies

4. Look at this GQ Motherfucker.

Today, I listened to a lot of Joy Division, put some finishing touches on my website, and coined the term "conceptual business card."

I actually paid money to get this printed. The black bar is actually black foil. They will be arriving in approximately 14 days.
