so our friend "Volpeshire" came over last night. he came over at midnight, neal and him went to the "25-hour" thriftway, and they cooked dinner. we ate at 2am, which was really 1am due to daylight savings. but we had fun. i think we ended up going to bed at 3 or 4 or 5am. but i want to share this picture with you. neal is wearing a scarf on his head, in a turban-like fashion, and a guatemalan soccer (futbol) jersey. i love you neal!

hollye and american teammate jalina... and the ocean!

neal and hollye in the first hotel... awww!

driving home tonight, i chose the album of the week:

Who's Your Daddy, by The Fans at Yankee Stadium

i have little inspiration and motivation to write. mostly because i am obsessing about cats. seriously. the idea of getting one was indroduced to me yesterday. and since then, i have not been able to let the idea go. call me crazy. call me a cat lady. i don't care. i want a cat. i miss those little felines. its almost scary how much i would like to have a cat. but i don't know if i could subject a cat to my lifestyle right now. but oh, how much i want one.

Check this out!

my latest design project. it is actually both neal's and mine... he helped me a lot. it is supposed to be a "magazine ad" for Vh1. i made up a show... music videos by independent artists. so this is my solution. tell me what you think. be honest.

not wanting to be a "downer"... i had a crummy day. it started out fine... i turned in my "pig-in-an-american-flag-bikini" painting... we had to put them in the MU Quad for two days, so all the students can enjoy them! hooray. then i chilled, ate lunch... went to modern dance, which was a blast. basically a bunch of girls giggling at each other, and we get to do fun jumps and weird positions with our feet and arms... fun! seems to be the highlight of my days in Corvallis. but that's okay with me. i'll take it where i can get it. design seems to be a struggle for me right now. i often think it would have been more lucrative for me to be a fine artist... but i'm a bit too far in for a change now. so i'm exhaused, and i have a long week. take care. love you all!

"That's the greatest invention since the flow-through tea bag!"

so it is week two of this term, and i am already behind in my schoolwork. i am tired of school... get me outta here! i guess it's what they call the "senior itch." boy that bug has a big bite.

on my Monday drive to Corvallis, i selected the album of the week:

artist: The Postal Service
album: Give Up
