OKAY.
So I've had an interesting week of sorts. Slightly stressful... well actually, moderately stressful. But interesting non-the-less.
For my art club this week, the third meeting of the term. All we pretty much did was hang out and get to know each other a little more. The attendees doubled this week and I can only look forward to the trip to the Botanical Gardens in the Bronx! I need to dig deeper into this world of art that I've let slip by my non productive teenage life.
The college newspaper "the Vignette" (pronounced, "VIN-YET", to my discovery) offered the art club to hand in stories and strips for the newspaper. Once I heard the offer, my mind just exploded with a yearning to work on new ideas and stories. Stories in which I've held in the un-dusted areas of my mind and cobwebbed pages of my concept notebook. Yet I stand on rocky stilts with it all seeing as my skill in story telling and play, i feel, leaves a lot to be desired. But I'm confident my friends can help me clear the murky waters.
"Boy am I filled with cheap metaphors today"
Moving on, it was later that Tuesday that I realized that I really have to learn to better prioritize my time to hang out and my time to work on my projects. On top of fighting my relentless urge to procrastinate. I found myself attempting to pull an all-nighter on that painting project which I should have let myself be done with a week ago... Now I've almost finished it, but I'm in the process of retouching it to make it look its best before I hand it in for a late grade... I really messed myself up last week.
"I can't freaking believe that I pushed it off for so long...
SOoo annoyed..."
To have made it worse, I ended up not being able to pull the all-nighter seeing as I only had 2 hours of sleep the past two days before and ended up deciding not to go to my classes that Wednesday. I woke up feeling extremely low about everything that I just didn't want to do anything with myself whatsoever.
After all of that had blown over, I felt slightly more relieved seeing as I didn't have school the following day. With it, I took a personal day to head off to the city and buy myself some art supplies for the future projects I plan to work on. The main item in mind was a fairly sized sketchbook for me to draw comic pages and story boards on for the "make an impression at artist alley at comic-con" project. I ended up buying a 13X9 sketchbook and more Micron inkey pens.
"I need to control myself with these ink pens and markers..."
That personal day to soho and treks around union square was something that I really needed. My mind had grown so erratic and just so... Unorganized that I found myself crumbling under my personal pressures. I've had so many things just biting at my mind that I just needed things to keep my attention focused and happy.
And nothing did it better than buying comics again ^^.
I dropped by Forbidden Planet and picked up
The Sword 10 and 11,
and Eternals 5...
I was mainly excited for the Sword because I'm such a big fan of it all. Eternals I just got into and totally wish I had bought the series of eternals before this one at the BigAppleCon I went to earlier this year. But it's okay, the Lobster Johnson comics I bought instead was wayyy worth it. ^^ But I'm behind on so many issues. I was following so many marvel storylines...
"Ugh, I'll catch up on Comic-Con 09! when I WOW! someone at artist alley..."
::fingers crossed::
and last but notleast, my main perk of the week was me and my friends heading over to the Nightmares Haunted House over at Delancey.
Oh-my-GOODNESS did I have a blast at Nightmares. Nothing better than being in pitchblack hallways with your friends being attacked by in your face "monsters" that smell like dirty laundry. It was such a rush.
But I was horribly disappointed by the second part; Legends... I practically walked through that whole thing just waiting for something scary to happen... The maze they had last year was so much more fun. Plainly put, Nightmares was a blast, Legends... uhm... in the past... yeah.
BLOOD MANOR HERE WE COME!
But yes that was mainly my week. A little rough at the start but all in all, some time of fun to drop some of the stress does no harm but make you spend money that you shouldn't be spending. Also we did take a trip over to Beacon's Closet over at Bedford in Brooklyn. I was amazed at how down to earth and just... urban everything and everybody was. I felt like i was in an indie movie shoot or something because the place just seemed to... down to earth. I saw so many sites that Thursday but of course, I had forgotten my camera at home. I would have colored up this blog so much more than it is now...
Until next time! (hopefully not another sunday)
