What I did this week (15 nov 2013)
- Had friendship lunch at Tip Top with Ian and Theresa. It was a cold, brisk walk there and back.
- Had a difficult time concentrating in Portfolio. I tried to sneak out halfway through but realized I’d get in trouble so instead I talked to Luke about relational database architecture. Very little actual work was done.
- Forgot my bag lunch on wednesday morning so I ended up fasting most of the day. Did unexciting, uneventful Thurber-House-related things in Branding on wednesday morning.
- Watched The Piano this week in History of Cinema. I’d have liked it better if the main character had been successful in killing herself.
- Wednesday night, I drove back downtown to go to dinner with Joe Finocchiaro, visiting lecturer on typography. We had a fancy dinner at Latitude 41 on the school’s dime (I had a delicious green salad and scallops and risotto and bread pudding), learned details about Mr. Mohr’s courtship, discussed senior thesis ideas, and pretended the CCAD short bus were a limousine. Joe and I bonded over a mutual admiration for Meryl Streep. I got a speeding ticket on my way home at 11pm. What a school night!
- Thursday was a long, delightful jumble. I got a loaf of bread from Kate in Jewelry, then I did enamel stuff for the rest of class. I spent lunch at the sink polishing enamel with an alundum stone under running water.
- Had one of those beautiful afternoons of six-hour, back-to-back Senior Ad and Portfolio where I didn’t get anything done. I am basically incapable of doing work in-class when I am surrounded by friends to talk to.
- Finished thursday with Joe Finocchiaro’s lecture at 7pm. It was another good, long day.
- Ate too many Lemonheads in Branding friday morning. (Jim Johnson ate some Lemonheads, too.)
- On saturday: worked at Saturday Morning Art Classes as usual, then I hung around for Anna and Julia’s Thanksgiving feast.
- Used every spare minute to work on big brand, an expansive graphic design project for Senior Ad. It is consuming most of my waking hours, and a lot of my sleeping hours, too!
Anna and Julia hosted a Thanksgiving feast this afternoon. There was an extremely small turnout, but we had lots of fun anyway. The pumpkin soup was a highlight, as was Julia’s rudimentary-but-effective guitar playing.
