Spring 09′

Well, I have a new apartment and we moved my stuff out of a smoky building, the stuff that didn’t get stolen. Yeah, stolen. People rule.

It’s a nice place though and I got into it just in time for the Fall semester. Thanks to my pseudo-family for letting me crash on their couch for a week,

I have a lot of work on my plate already. I just have to remember that my social life is now over. It was nice to have time for it on the break, though.

I have an Art and Religion course with Pete Massing and Clay McNearny. I’m pretty excited about that one. Hopefully a lot of interesting discussions will happen.

We are hanging the Michael Cornfeld Exhibition in the gallery right now, and it has been a challenge. I think we have made some good decisions though, that will make the show look good.

happy new year…pssh

Well…the holidays were good. I had a great time seeing my family and relaxing.

However, yesterday my apartment building caught on fire.

I was in Charleston and had just walked into the skate park when I got a call from friends that my building was on fire. I immediately left for Huntington. I talked to Chris Guinn on the phone and the firefighters saved my dog and Guinn took care of him until I got there.

There was a man who was seriously injured and one other person taken to the hospital, and I am wishing and hoping that they will be okay.

The firefighters gave my dog some oxygen and he is perfectly fine.

They also let Jenni and I go in to retrieve some essentials. My stuff is only smoke damaged, but that is definitely not too fun. I am however very very thankful that it was not any worse than it is. I really hope that guy pulled through though.

So, I’m homeless. My friends are very generous and spiff and I have a place to sleep for now.

Clarksburg

I’m heading home to Clarksburg, WV tomorrow for some much needed down time to do homework and plan out how I’m going to finish off the rest of the semester.

I’m pumped to see my Papa as well, He’s amazing.

 

smith hall

I really can’t stand a thing about Smith Hall, except for SH609. That’s pretty much home.

 

Huntington, WV

is THE unhealthiest city. Great…

I’m poor. All my friends are poor. Everyone in this town is poor, and apparently on the fast track to thier deathbed.

Want to stay? nah.

 

OBAMA!

wow.

 

Vote.

The night before the election. sigh. Tomorrow we will see.

I don’t feel like I can read/analyze/write quickly or well enough for my paper. It is a position paper for lowbrow art. I’m learning a lot and looking at a lot of great artwork though.

This weekend Rebecca, Guinn, and I are headed to Pittaburgh for SPE Mid-atlantic. I’m excited and working on getting my portfolio together.

I don’t know. VOTE!

Stan Sporny

I am deeply saddened.

I grew to love Stan and have been deeply impressed upon by him from my time knowing and learning from him.

RIP Stan.
