happy trails and innocent animals

it started on thursday at the juliana theory show in syracuse. as pathetic as it seems, this is my sixth time seeing this band and something still draws me back. i don't know if it's to see brett detar or what (for a more detailed explanation go here). i still wonder why they are so amusing to watch after all these years. needless to say, the show was a success. thanks hillary for makin it happen...
my weekend soon disintegrated after last nights indie dance night in buffalo. first things first...i probably shouldn't have started the night of with a slice of greasy pizza from "prima pizza". but what pizza place doesn't have bread sticks, right? first sight driving by the Mohawk Place were...well, mohawks. which actually seemed a bit creepy. but the night definitely took a change for the better. until some nice person decided to spill their drink all over the soundboard and the system blew. yeah...i could still hear the screeching noise when i was lying in bed at 4 in the morning. i did experience something quite grotest on the car ride there. it's hunting season. so of course i'm being the cautious driver that i am....x 10. i passed a little critter (possibly a rabbit or raccoon) on it's back on the shoulder. it had its little feet in the air wiggling frantically. i have never seen anything so sad yet so disgusting. needless to say, my weekend was great and am ready for this break coming up from school. i really love thanksgiving...and am in love with the holiday season.

have a great week everyone. and make the best of it...

i found myself.

i have no excuses for the lack of posts lately. except for that i'm buried in school work...and am trying to figure out where i'll be next semester. figuring out how transferring credits and money will work hasn't been the most joyest of all occasions. but hey - it may be worth it.

so i had a dentist appointment today and it went pretty good. i just don't like how much my mouth aches after they poke their sharp tools around. ps: why do they need to be so sharp? i mean really. after the appointment, i went to my internship at the sign shop and was using an xacto knife and thought..."this is almost as sharp as those things she was sticking in my mouth...". couldn't a hard plastic do? one would just think that technology these days would think of something more comfortable. needless to say...i have no cavities. which is surprising to me because of my horrible sweet tooth as some would call it;)

i guess the big news is that i visited NYCAMS (New Yorks Center of Art and Media Studies) this past weekend in the city and was felt pretty privileged for this opportunity i might have. the studios are in chelsea and are just so beautiful. i've attached a few pictures for you all to gasp at. this is a really exciting yet confusing time for me and during times like this, i wish decision making was easier. i suppose nothing can be easy...i'm just trying to follow my dreams (as stupid as that sounds) - everyone should.
