babbling. Consider yourself warned.
Apr. 15th, 2003 09:30 pmSo my Easter break has started now. Not that it has for everyone, and I *should* have a class tomorrow, but it was cancelled. : ) Instead, I'm going to go out and walk around the park, and see how the winter's left it. Sarah, you want to ocme too? Anyone else? It's a nice walk, though a bit strenuous and moslt likely muddy in the areas that I want to go though. Something about being more interested in the forgotten bits that have no real road left through them.... There's an erstwhile road, though. It's muchly pretty, and I want to start experimenting soon with chipping glass into blade shapes. I've heard it can be done. I've seen it done with obsidian, though this is not the same thing at all. I also have to fix my very small loom soon. And work on that. Perhaps I'll start weaving bits of things I find into the fabric.... Could be neat, as it's not really supposed to be used for anything practical. I just wanted to weave something, to put on a wall, or an altarish thing. So waht else? Next weekend, the weekend of Remy's birthday we're going to my father's house to help him survive the ordeal of my brother trying to sell him a vacuum. Other reasons, of course, but that's the funny one. And here's a self serving idea.... We could have him do a demonstration on our living room before we move out. Because I have used those vacuums before (a woman whose house I claened in high school had one) and they are reasonably good. A mess, considering the water inside, but it could be a really good idea in our mouldy basement. The basement covered still in scraps from gods only know how many sewing projects.... I really need to get those up sometime. But we don't *have* a vacuum here.
And I should start working on the final project for 2D, but I don't feel like it.
In other news entirely, I finally got my scores back for my art history test. 98. This means I got one question wrong.... Wonder which one it was? Yay me!
And in completely entirely defferent news.... Was walking across the campus parking lot yesterday, and saw a massive yellow hummer in the student lot, complete with roof lights. Faintly nauseating, really. What was that doing belonging to a student anyway? And then, passing that monstrosity, I found myself looking directly into the windscreen of something sweet. Not an emblem I recognised off hand, turned out it was a late 40s early 50s Hudson, newly polished black and chrome, two doors, and back windows that went almost all the way to the back. The interior was red leather, and it was gorgeous. Picture this in black and chrome: http://www.tocmp.com/brochures/1950Hudson/1950Hudsonbrochure/50-11_JPG.html I covet.And in searching for that one, I found so many others that I really want.... I'd learn how to drive for something like this. Of course, it goes entirely against any philosophy I generally hold on cars--small, and gas efficient. These are not. The one I was sorshipping, coming up to the hood, it had that "I eat gas. It's yummy." smell. But for aesthetics,,,, **sighs longingly** Not the sort of thing you would just take around town to pick up the groceries, so I can't feel that bad about it. My first car was very nearly a 1948 Pontiac Silver Streak, which I was going to rebuild adn get into something like roadwothiness. I found out several years later that not many exist, because they had a tendency to roll a lot. I can imagine, as the car was taller than I am. And I'm not short, by anyone's estimation. Unless they happen to be excessively tall....
And I developed some of the photos of my grandmother's barn. Now I have to get tehm to her, and a CD of Remy's photos too. Because she has to get them to the insurance people.... All the negs look good, despite the fact that my prints are shitty. I didn't do a test sheet, having only limited time, adn so they're kinda grey. And somehow, this doens't look entirely bad....
