LMAO, Nodaks... People always tend to ask me if my father's in the military when they hear my nomadic history. All the people we've met in the Dakotas have been really friendly by the way. It's strange...it makes me realize that people in Chicago are rather aloof!

Barnes & Noble had Jonathan Franzen's latest, Freedom, available as a bargain book, unbeknownst to me-- but they're able to order one from the "warehouse", and so I'll have a hardback copy of it on Monday, for less than seven bucks... Happy? Oh YEAH, I yam.

I have a drawing I finished a year ago that I could technically upload this minute if I wanted to, but I am now unreasonably TERRIFIED of submitting stuff here, since it's been more than 2 years since I last did... I don't think most people would care anymore, you know? But...I'm taking the art class right now and I love it! I love that I HAVE to draw all the time now, unless I want to fail the class. The professor is really very awesome and nice. It's great getting feedback on what I'm doing. This is her: [link] I was just talking about her with Diego actually.

It's not a bad thing! It's just a stylistic change...
I've been writing tons of academic essays, but I haven't really been creatively writing at all lately...like, I've pretty much stopped writing poetry. Is that a bad thing? I just don't feel the NEED to write it? But umm if you really wanted, I could show you the drawing I'm currently working on...
Chicago's autumn is beautiful as always. We have a lot of trees that are still red and yellow over here. My art class is meeting at the MCA on Tuesday by the way! We don't have King Soopers over here so I can't obsess over that fried chicken with you!

O_____O You're a gallery mod again! Or whatever the fuck dA calls that position now. That is AWESOME! You seriously make this oft-superficial and airheaded place a hundred times better for everyone. There is something about you that brings together two worlds... dA is becoming so mainstream and capitalistic, and I feel like you have always been some sort of underground leader. I'm in a terrible mood today and dA is just extra irksome to me now (why the FUCK are journals like deviations now?) but basically all I'm trying to say is that I'm happy you're doing this again!

Your DD writeups are as interesting as always, by the way... It really annoys me that most DDs lack writeups now...to me that means that the GM was either lazy or that they lack both the communication skills and the artistic experience to put into words why a particular piece is good. I dunno, in my opinion a true experienced artist should be able to tell you at least a little about WHY something is good...
