Entertain Yourself

There isn't really any reason for me to be inside right now, because its the last day of January and it is a whopping 65 degrees outside already. Could old man winter be setting us up for a disappointing Groundhog Day? Probably so..
Godfrey is also one of those strange people that is obsessed with the arms length self photograph which I think I will never understand why people like to do. If you have a giant megapixel camera, why do you want hold it right in front of your face? Oh well.. here is one of his photos cropped and tweaked to make a little more abnormal. Ok, a lot abnormal.

Tea!

Gosh, it is pretty much February already. How time flies when its too cold to do anything but sit inside and think about how cold it is outside. Of course when I sit and think about how cold it is I usually have a piping hot cup of tea handy to ward off any of those accompanied chilling feelings. So not much has been going on otherwise. Go to class listen to lectures, paint, graphic design something. This semester is quite different from all of the others I've had; homework is pretty much non existent but I am constantly having to read something almost every day.
I am happy to have completed my first project in Graphic Design 3, a newsletter. We were allowed to create the newsletter about anything we wanted so I of course chose Tea! Pardon the strange picture that is a screen shot of the pdf so some of the text is a little weird looking. It took quite a long time to make the entire thing; the text itself obviously took the least amount of time. It is nice to spend hours working on something you actually enjoy. Wish I could say the same for some of my other classes, yes, I'm talking about Painting oh those endless still lifes are boring.

Have a Nice Day!

It is always nice to have a break from the frigid wind driven below zero temperatures. The last two days in fact have been quite reasonable!
For a change we decided to drive to McPherson to see a movie, since it is actually a much shorter drive time although a little less populated and exciting than Hutch.
Movie of Choice? Gran Torino!
A truly fantastic, funny, sad, and real movie. I hate to spoil it for folks so I'll just say it was one great flick.
The photo is compliments of Godfrey who now lives with me in the Duplex thanks to the not so great office politics of the college. We operate on completely different time schedules so by the time he is eating breakfast its almost lunchtime for me. I was sitting at the table watching him eat and making faces.
