Art Studio

My final assignment for art is a bad-ass life-size portrait of... myself.... what a bummer.. i see so many other beautiful specimens out there, ready to pose for me and my assignment has to be about myself... and it has to be recognizable too.... bummer...

And so, C came with me on a hunt for my art supplies: a life size canvas which i would have to convey back to my dorm in university by means of riding on a bus because a taxi ride would have just killed my budget for this month :(

Guess what? Exhibition quality life size canvases cost A BOMB! Like $69 or something!! I then ended up buying a 9ft by 5ft unprimed raw canvas ($15) a bottle of Gesso/canvas primer ($12) and a big brush ($14)- coz i didnt want to be priming my 5ft by 2ft canvas with my teensy 3'' brush :P

and the grand total? all in all with tax and everything... about $40 :D

Downside of it all? I have to prime my own canvas for which i have to first stretch it out and my room has been turned into an art studio for that purpose :D

Frats

Well.... My friend E and I joined this club at the beginning of the school year and to make it simple... it functions like a sorority but is NOT a sorority... and therefore, we have social exchanges with the Frat houses... The first one that I went to had a Tacos and Tequila night and E and I were so excited that we decided to skip on dinner in order to indulge in the tacos and tequila which costs us only $10 for an unlimited amount of either one of the two..

Big mistake..

E almost passed out after having 3 tequila shots before the 3 puny tacos she had and then proceeded to have more tequila... the boys who surrounded us demanded that they would de-virginize us if we were still virgins (a secret I will never tell...) and one of them even flashed his nether regions at me... not impressed... However, was too shocked to come up with a bitingly sarcastic response to his flashing and could only kick myself mentally in the ass 10 minutes later when my brain unfroze from the shock and a million retorts flash flooded my mind.. "Is that all??" "Where is it?" "That's it??!!" "Omg!! How cute!! Look at how small it is.." The last comment would be accompanied with a little nudge at E... Seriously... did he think I'd run up to him and demand that he deflower me on the spot (again... IF I was a virgin...) like in a sordid twisted romance novel?

Oh well.... my first encounter with the Frat species in their natural habitat, imbibing on their favourite substance "alcohol", was indeed very enlightening and amusing... can't wait for the next one :P

Busted Budget

Okayyyyyyyyy.....

I am dead... busted... in a state of despair.... in other words.... i'm BROKE...

I think I officially have only about $10 left in my bank account and I still don't have a job... how am i supposed to survive? I shall try and be positive and use my best Bridget Jones logic to figure this out... lets see...

$10 left in bank account. Dont eat out until the parents send some money. Not eating will cause immense amount of weight loss. Weight loss will result in fab body. When money arrive, will have lots of money to shop for clothes and a fab body to stuff in said clothes. Will therefore be a v. hot person with v. pretty clothes. Fabulous.

Now... thats what I call looking on the bright side. I will try to keep this mantra in my head and be positive until the parents send me money and if my plan goes well... well, see above :D
