A quick update that for now, UCSC is behind me. Had my Mom take this picture up by the squiggle:

And also, this new Sigur Ros track from their new album, Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust, somehow sums up the past few days:

It would seem that my turtle trio was hungry. Or brownfish #2 perfected his jumping skills and is now living in a puddle outside. Either way, my pet count is now -1.

And he didn’t even say goodbye. How rude.

On another animal-related note, as requested, here’s a picture from our first Santa Cruz thanksgiving. Rock.

While this is probably the #1 blog post today in the blogosphere, I thought I’d pitch in as well. At about 10:30pm PST yesterday, I received an email I had been hoping to get for quite some time. (er, 10 days..) w.a.s.t.e sent me a download link, and within a few minutes I was listening to the new radiohead album, In Rainbows. With that said, before I say more, go download it. Pay whatever you want, and go download it.

Once you do though, go listen to it on the radio tonight at 8:30pm on KZSC Santa Cruz 88.1fm. Or online - kzsc.org. Kristan’s new show, aptly named In Rainbows, will be premiering tonight, playing what else - the new album. Some older live tracks too, just to fill up the time. Maybe I’ll put up a review later, but there’s enough of those going around for everybody. Go have a listen.

next up, my final for art 119.
enjoy.

my latest pictorial masterpiece - a narrative starring the girl I love. responses have been good so far - ranging from “hey, I want to buy that”, to the TA for my section:

“whimsical-yet-slightly-uneasy-like-you-are-in-a-dream-that-might-get-a-little- weird-but-not-scary-weird-just-your-head-turns-into-a-watermelon-weird-and- you-float-away-in-a-bubble-weird-to-go-to-a-robot-wedding-weird”

I’d say that’s a good thing.
