Me v. Us

This has so far been a hugely productive summer. Sure, I haven't uploaded my pictures from France. I haven't updated my website. I haven't seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But I have read Harry Potter. I have worked on my wooden boat. I have worn my polyester yellow pants. And I have gotten a good night's sleep. I think that makes the score three to one in my favor. Butt who's counting?

Most importantly, I just started my third class for the summer - Life Painting. I think that it should be called figure painting instead. We aren't painting Life, in all its infinite and various glory. We are painting boobies and toejam. We are painting cottage cheese and saggy butts. The human figure is what we are specializing in, and I am very excited to get better at it. Next quarter I am going to be a teaching assistant in a figure drawing class (officially called Life Drawing), and that should help even more! If I could get a job at a college or university teaching figure drawing after I graduate next year, I would be extremely happy. I would poop all over myself with happiness. Therefore, I think that all these studies will help me toward that goal. Plus the human figure is amazing. Have you ever really looked at the wonderful mechanics of your hand? It blows me away when I think about it. How about how complex, well-designed and beautiful the eye is? Don't even get me started.
