Due to the Recent Weather

Since it's been so warm latly I've been thinking about you know global warming and saving the world. I found a site stopglobalwarming.org. I signed up for the Stop Global Warming Virtual March and thought I'd post a few of their world saving tips.

-Replace 3 frequently used light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. Save 300 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $60 per year.
-Make sure your printer paper is 100% post consumer recycled paper. Save 5 lbs. of carbon dioxide per ream of paper.
-Take shorter showers. Showers account for 2/3 of all water heating costs. Save 350 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $99 per year.
-Unplug un-used electronics. Even when electronic devices are turned off, they use energy. Save over 1,000 lbs of carbon dioxide and $256 per year.
-Air Dry Your Clothes. Line-dry your clothes in the spring and summer instead of using the dryer. Save 700 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $75 per year.
-Bring Cloth Bags to the Market. Using your own cloth bag instead of plastic or paper bags reduces waste and requires no additional energy.


Anyway I hope you check it out, siging up wasnt a big deal you just put your name, e-mail, zip code and country

Spring '07

I registered for my classes yesterday, I've already changed my schedule twice since yesterday and I might change it again, who knows. But as of now I'm signed up for; American History, Italian II, Drawing Studio, Watercolor, Claywork I/II, Printmaking: Into to Monotype, and Video I. I might add Intro to Etching but I'm not sure if I can because I'm taking a January class and I have to figure out how many credits I have. For my January class I'm taking Decades the 80's, it's an art history class.

I'm really excited about my video class I hope to become half as good as this guy...

New 7 Wonders of the World!

Since all of the original & wonders are gone, except the Pyramids at Giza, they are voting on new ones. You can go online and vote, you have to register but it's free, I think you only have to register so you can't vote too many times. Anyway the choices are the Acropolis, Hagia Sophia, the Kremlin/St. Basil's, the Colosseum, Neuschwanstein Castle (I went there over the summer and it's beautiful but it's unfinished and has a akward gift shop), the Eiffel Tower, Stonehenge, the Alhambra (i think Laurel did something on this for World History class), the Great Wall of China, Kiyomizu Temple, the Sydney Opera House, Angkor, the Taj Mahal, Timbuktu, Petra, the Pyramids of Giza (yes you can vote the keep them in), the Statue of Christ Redeemer, the Easter Island Statues, Machu Picchu, Chichen Itzá, and the Statue of Liberty.

Now I know you all are probally so excited you are about to pee yourself so I will give you the website so you can rush off and vote!

Happy Belated Halloween

For Halloween Alex and I watched Halloween and the Shining. He knows I don't really like scary movies so he let me pick the movies and eat reese's, cookie dough and ice cream while we watched. I saw a preview for the shining on youtube the other day I part of me wishes the shining was more like this.
