Update Part II

I know you all probally already know this but I am terrible at keeping in contact with people. It's not that i don't care, I often wonder how people are that I don't see, there's just something on me that makes it almost impossible to pick up a phone or write an email.

So since i last wrote a blog I made a life size truncated torso in plaster that weighs about 150-200 pounds ( i'll post pictures later). then i came home for vacation for about a week. For the rest of vacation I worked at the library a couple times a week and mostly just relaxed. Alex and i went to Newbury Comics one night and bought a bunch of cheap DVDs all of which I highly recommend:

Brazil



A Very Long Engagement



The Machinist



Sliding Doors

I couldn't find a sliding doors trailer but it's basically a romantic comedy with a twist, the movie is split in two , what would happen if a women makes a train and what would happen if she missed it.

City of God



Classes started on Tuesday, I'm now a senior, my classes are a mix of easy and hard.
I'm taking Printmaking II, Principles of Abstract Sculpture, Italian III, Arts and Human Development, Art Education: History and Philosophy, and senior studio.

Arts and Human Development, and Art Education: History and Philosophy might be my two hardest classes, they're grad classes.

Really all i've been doing is working and watching movies. Some good ones I've watched in theaters lately:

No Country for Old Men


Persepolis



Sweeny Todd



I Am Legend

AH! You live! Glad to hear you're doing well (a senior already, my oh my!)! And I always have to comment on your movies. The Machinist was one of the most wonderfully disturbing movies I have seen-- ever. It took me so long to look at Christian Bale the same after that. I have always wanted to see Sliding Doors-- I keep passing it in the library, but I never pick it up. Persepolis was an excellent graphic novel and I am eagerly waiting for someway to watch it. And Sweeny Todd looks so fabulous (I am quite mad that I have not seen it yet)! Yay Johnny Depp!

Mainly glad to hear from you, even though I've just babbled about movies and less about you. Exactly whose torso was it? Oh-- would you like me to send you a cute British man-- or are you set? :P

Loves and Bubbles,
Jess

Aw man, I haven't seen any of those movies yet. I did read Persepolis though and it was a great comic / graphic novel.
