final review triply surface with hiking boot run through

woOOOOOOOO! rhino is in FREE BETA TESTING for OSX!



the irony of this is that there are only 3 days left in the term.

wait til i get my money right

last night was pretty fun. i met up with starsha, jarett and justin, whom i hadn't seen in like a monthhhh because of school. we ate at the old town or old town or whtever the fuck, and it was delicious. bar food. wings and cider. mmmm anyways, then we went down to tribeca to stop by andrea's house, where she was having her birthday. wow was it ever fun! their place is amazing, her parents are both architects so it the whole place was done by them - really beautiful. the party was great. there were lots of planners, who turned out to be great. they're like the architecture kids, but a little less into themselves in some way? which i can appreciate. there was also a pinata. YES. i also tried many types of booze, or "liqueur" as they say, which i had never had. for example, absolut pepper with pomegranate. and so on. it was fuuun. then we had to leave to go to the mckibbin lofts.

it was going to take 45 hours to go back uptown and then get on the damn L, so we took a cab and went across the williamsburg bridge. it was great. so we got there at like 2, when a bunch of people had already left, but it was nice to see everyone. the place was decorated all christmasy and we walked in during a walk off ala tyra mail. hilarious.

i stupidly only got out my camera for about 5 minutes of the evening, so i have a weirdly concentrated, small number of photos.
here are some highlights.






and this, for my money, is the stupidest and funniest picture of the night. wtf is wrong with us in this picture. it looks like 1991

kanye in chicago

im watching this over and over...

Yeah, i know envelopes is spelled wrong.

i don't want to sound overdramatic about this, because the second and third years act like it's nothing.. but this is definitely an experience i have never had before.

all the days run together, which sounds like a cliche, but i mean it literally: you can't remember which is which because there's no change in activity to mark the day's passing, like sleep. mom reminded me today that the last time i had been home/slept was sunday morning from 7-9. it's like: you stay at studio for 6 days straight, with 2-3 hour breaks each 24 hours to nap and change your clothes. there are more people in studio at 5am then there normally are at 2pm on a weekday. sunday morning, before i went for the nap, was great: smokers coming in from outside said it was snowing! ashley and i went out, there was snow! it wasn't dawn yet, but there was enough to see the snow in a real way. as ashley said, it was 'snow light.!'

here's a picture i took later that morning when the snow had melted mostly:


malika told me i might have repetitive stress injuries in my last two fingers on each hand and my shoulders, from resting my elbows on my desk when computering, cuz i guess that means i use the tendons in my sholders (which connect to my last two fingers) to move shit around and that means a lot of constant movement and pressure. it feels WEIRD. like your shoulders aren't TIRED, but they feel all crunchy and wobbly and my two fingers tingle and go numb. from sitting! white collar injury!

i'm getting worried to leave our little bay in studio. i love it. people are so funny. i take videos, but afterwards you can never tell whats happening in them or why the hell it was funny at all. but it WAS SO FUNNY!
