By the numbers.
Today it was between 25 and 45 degrees.
So I bought a 50 Cent endorsed Vitamin Water for 88¢.
Now I am feeling 100%.

Things I'm Doing Today to Change My Life:
1. Had a tube of instant Starbucks. (Free!/The Future!)
2. Signed up for 5 thesis credits.
3. Set a rough schedule for the completion of my thesis this quarter.
4. Going to use a dollar off coupon to get a cup of coffee for under 50 cents.
5. Applying for my Master's Degree. Well, at least getting the ball rolling so that once I'm done with the writing part I can actually graduate.
6. Going to try to use a very old Subway giftcard to get a very big sandwich.
Mmhmm.

THERE IS SOMEONE OUTSIDE THE WINDOW
And we live on the third floor.
TM&I were awakened by a man speaking Chinese and painting our trim.
What a day.
Gets rid of that sleep inertia RIGHT quick.

An Open Letter
Dear People Outside My Window at 1:21AM:
I am now old. I have passed into the 24-29 age bracket. Chances are, you are also in this bracket or past it since you have money to run around screaming while I am insomniated. I cherish your company, I really do. The fact remains, however, that I only have tubes of instant Nescafe, and you are on uppers. We cannot and do not see eye to eye. I am impressed and concerned by your vocabulary usage, as well as your street-racing. There is a stop sign at both ends of this block. You cannot get far. I'm not sure if you live in the building across the street, but if you do, please go into said building to do your dirty work. Otherwise, kindly cross onto or into your bridge and/or tunnel to make a swift exit from this urban realm. The night is through and I bid you a fair tomorrow.
Regards,
INTERNET.com
P.S.: Just shut up now.

ohgodhowdidthisgethereiamnotgoodwiththesis
llllllllllllllllllllet's get ready to rambllllllllllllllllllll
ok! well, i've just been correcting midterms and discovering that people seem to think that neodada and ab ex are the same thing but they are wrong and here's why it is because you are wrong and ab ex is all like sup we're existential and such and neodada is all like duchamp is the man. yeah. \/mark'down\/
but: i am trying to figure out what my thesis is going to be. here's what i've been telling people. the idea of fact and fiction in contemporary photography as it relates to the cultural assumption of photos as documentary evidence and the influence of cinema and the cinematic; all this stemming out of Cindy Sherman's Film Stills from the 70s.
going to work in gregory crewdson there, and jeff wall probs, and maybe margot quan knight. we shall SEE.
talking about large photos that are extremely staged and how when people look at these photos these days they're all like sup we know that isn't real, but there is this cultural memory and tendency toward believing photos as documentary evidence going all the way back to the early days of photography. when they used cameras in order to document the "vanishing race", the new West, etc. but why then do people still get weirded out by something they know is fake and staged. BLAME THE CINEMA. in a society so pervaded by the idea of the cinematic, screen media, television, et al., it is sometimes easier for people to suspend their disbelief instead of dealing with images that make them uneasy. images from real life (war, violence, all that bad stuff) have become fortified against because the viewer is used to seeing these types of things in movies, tv, video games and so it is not as much (although it still is sometimes) of a shock. i don't want to say that people don't want to or can't care about the horrible things that they see, it's just a defense mechanism to help them cope. in the other vein, the same is true in the inverse. people see fake images in movies, magazines, all that and they pretend they are real in order to "get into them" or to make things more interesting. people like gregory crewdson use the tactics of cinema in order to play on this in his photos. jeff wall has elaborate sets and backlit cibachromes that recreate similar effects. margot knight shows "real" photos too but has set them up and, in some works, has doctored them. this comes out of cindy sherman's Film Stills in that those were photos, self-portraits, of her in dress and pose and black and white tones that were meant to invoke a certain period in film. even further back, pictorialist photographers like gertrude kasebier were setting up things and people in order to get a shot full of meaning. the new pictorialism focuses not so much on the fictive scene in order show a touching moment between mother and child, but to make reference to the cinema, to itself, to its metaself (you know i love THAT junk), art history (Crewdson's 'Ophelia' btw), and society. it's got all the trappings of a good thesis topic. yeah!
and this is what happens when i drink a bunch of coffee and really need to get working on my degree!
oh em gee well tee hee hee
\\##**((<<=^_^=>>))**##//
also there is a hilarious little baby with the face of a 45 year old smoker/mulletresse in here and i usually don't like them kidz but it's pretty hilarious to see it bob around in its snowsuit to animal collective.

"How much do you pay for a haircut?"
"I cut my own hair."
"Oh you cut your own hair?"
"Yeah, how much do you pay?"
"A friend of mine cuts hair, well, I usually have a twenty dollar cap."
"Yeah."
"But a friend of mine cuts hair, and, well, she charges twenty five. So like thirty all together."
"Yeah. That's getting up there."
"I guess I need to go to someplace like Supercuts."
[overheard between a customer and a barista]
