Chase and figurine hang out, originally uploaded by B_Zedan.

When it got too hot in the apartment I went and hung out on the campus, which was beautifully devoid of students. I took some film pictures. Annoyingly, I have a bunch more from a couple days ago that need to be developed, but the rolls got mixed in with the general mass of exposed film and we'll just have to wait until the twenty or so get developed to find mine.

Whole set here.

We went to Stacie's new place for art night tonight, and took Eli along (as a cross between wishful thinking and experiment)... and... it worked out great! I've got most of page 4 of BYOB3 penciled out, and will soon start detailed pencils on page 5. I tried painting a scene in acrylics earlier today with little success... gotta revisit the basics of acrylic technique - I still can't seem to get the hang of that medium! And I did switch, on Chris Gargan's recommendation, from water to gloss medium for the thinning agent.

• 13:13 I think I may use the university grounds as a lawn today. No students and closer than a park. #
• 15:53 The university has "guest" unlocked wifi. Nice. #

1952: Willis and the Sauce-Bottles

We were all the sort of people who read at meals and if there was nothing else to read we would read the lables on the jars and things on the table. We soon found that we all knew off by heart the lable on a sauce known as "H. P." Not only did this lable carry a much greater wordage than any marmalade jar, it was of immensely higher literary standard. For one thing, part of it was in French, which gave it an immense distinction in the eyes of us Francophiles. The lable had three sides. The middle one had a picture of the Houses of Parliament at Westminster, a statement that the sauce was made by Garton and Company, and a description of its constituents-- pure malt vinegar and oriental spices. On the lefthand side was the blurb in French--"Cette Sauce de premier choix...." --which we intoned with the solemnity we gave to Baudelaire and Rimbaud. And on the righthand side was a copy of a certificate by two public analysts that they had " regularly taken samples from stock and found the sauce to be in every way pure and wholesome. --signed A. Bostock Hill and William T. Rigby. " Read More...

1996: On Reading the A1 Label

this is short, I will write more later, I promise. But.

I got a new work computer because my old one launched itself into space.

I worked hard all day today and got up at 5:00pm to go home, gathered up my stuff, looked down at my cellphone, and saw it was only 4:00 pm. My computer’s time was off! I STILL HAD AN HOUR OF WORK LEFT TO DO. This is a terribly unfair thing to happen and I feel like someone handed me a piece of candy, then stole it from me again. BOOOOOO.

How was your weekend? We went down to the Kankakee River and cooked meat over open flame, and I played not-fetch with my parents’ dog. Not-fetch is where you pretend to throw a ball or whatever but don’t actually and the dog goes tearing off after nothing and then comes back looking at you like you’re the most hilarious jerk ever, and could you please just throw the damn ball already so her life can be complete? And then you throw it for reals and she runs after it and you alternate real throwing with fake throwing to keep her on her toes and it’s pretty awesome. I miss having a dog.

"Besides, how can you tell that your religion and mine are the same; your forms wound me, and I hate funerals. What a fuss!  Why you must die—everyone must die; and all are happier when they do.  Come home."
