A few of the many on ODU’s campus:
“Artipotimus” on a shutter in the painting studio at the VAB.
“Dog in a sink! Wow!” next to “Artipotimus” on a shutter in the painting studio in VAB.
“You just lost the game” on a bench in the womens upstairs north bathroom at Webb.
Pics or it didn’t happen, right? Check it out:
Detail of text:
Silliness. I added the grammatical correction and the purple. I don’t even watch Stargate: Atlantis, but I’m pretty sure a squid couldn’t use one.
Here’s a shot of the underpainting for the next still life in my painting class. It won’t dry, so I’m threatening it with my little fan.
Oh oil paint, I hate you so… Sure you’re fun to mix but you dessicate my fingers and then have the audacity to take forever to dry! See you in hell, oil paint.
Still working on that Vitamin Water Essential from earlier, so again, cheers.

P.S.: I’ve decided to critique Philip Ayers’ “Plant Mister” for art crit. It’s at the Chrysler.
1). It’s really fucking sweaty balls exploding death hot outside. GOOD THING VAB IS AIR CONDITIONED MATE, GOOD THING.
2). ARTS279 in the fall is going to be LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL OMG HALP WUTS PEN TUUL? I’m going to cover that class in murdalade and eat it on a wheat thin. Yes, thats marmalade with murder. What, don’t you shop at Harris Teeter?
3). I’m really happy that Pepperidge Farm brought back Goldfish Grahams. They’re the most buttery and scrumptious graham snackies ever. You know what? They’re better than Teddy Grahams. Yeah, I fucking went there. 2 for $3 at Target right now. Go get yourself some and enjoy mouthfuls of win.
4). Still working on bringing back Crystal Pepsi…..
5). Last but not least, Wordpress 2.6 is out. Seriously Wordpress, you and Nintento need to chill out with the releases, ok? I JUST upgraded to 2.5.1, and now you want me to do it again?
6). Speaking of gaming… I’m currently still playing Final Fantasy Tactics A2. Yeah, it rocks. Excellent upgrade from FFTA (which I still have and love!). BUT! Here’s my seasonal to-buy list (pending that financial aid rebate check in mid-August…yeah buddy!):
7). I can’t believe FFXIII is coming out on lolxbox. I just can’t believe it. Seriously, SquEnix, you piss me off enough in your updates for FFXI, couldn’t you just STAY with Sony so I could justify buying a PS3 for the Blu-Ray player that will still look like balls on my 720p HDTV? My heart, you crush it.
8). <annoyingflashingtext>SEVERE WEATHER ADVISORY! HELL YES!</annoyingflashingtext>
9). (because no list is complete without a number 9): New Beck CD is gooooooooooood. And by CD I mean *.mp3 files that my neighbors cousins third poodles sires owners one-armed gardner found for me on TPB.
The air conditioned hallways in the VAB…such a tease. Have a seat in the painting studio for a few hours one afternoon. Go on, have a seat in there and try to focus on mixing your colors and then ask someone to pour more water on the rocks and pass you a towel because that room is a bloody sauna.
Man, if I didn’t like the professor so much (Heather Bryant, she’s such a peach!) I’d complain a lot more. Anyway, after heat exhaustion on Friday, I came back in today to work on my underpainting for our third still life. Here’s a shot at my painting for #2 (about 90% completed in this shot) and the crazy still life for #3:
I’m pretty happy with the bags, actually. I’ll go back in and add some highlights when I’m not you know…sweltering.
Have you seen my cat, Mac? He’s addicted to dried apples now. Kinda..makes sense…right?
Silly cat. Mac’s got his own set on my Flickr.
Stay cool kids.
Ahh, Hampton Roads in July.
Hot, humid and hazy.
Webb center central is FUH-REEZING, but over here in Webb right it’s perfect…except for the constant PSSSSSSSS from the HVAC unit. You can see the clouds coming in too… Right now Hampton Roads is under weather advisory, so pack your umbrellas and galoshes, the lawn is going to be a swamp.
Despite the ominous green blob of precipitation heading our way, some crazies will make it out to the beach today (coughcanadianscough). The conditions in our part of the Atlantic are good for rip currents to occur. You can thank that fizzling disappointment of a hurricane, Bertha, for that. In case you’re not from a beach area, if you’re out in the ocean and you become trapped by a rip current, swim parallel to the shore, NOT towards the shore.
And finally a couple of photos from last week.
I call them…CACTUS FINGERS!!
Still life #2 set up in the painting studio. I hate bags but my colors are actually coming out quite well 
Stay dry kids.
