Proposal Points

Today i done kicked some Vista ass - u have to admit System Restore is one pearl of Win XP that deserves the price of admission & luckily they have brung it on into Vista as well. Though u could put the chiken-egg query that if the OS were not a POS u would not need a system restore... but since it works i am calm & happy to use it.

Then i whence to the studio. The car dudes next door are moving over & taking the space in front of our building as they always do til they get a whack & tomorrow i will kick their lily little asses over it but today there was a ton of free parking everywhere so i just put up with it. It is annoying tho as they TOO could park across the rd & maybe not even block the driveway with their crapola but i will just fill their bin with my plaster rubbish & think happy thoughts in the morning.

If they would get their bin emptied that is. Think they are cost-cutting as they have had their dumpster bulging all week since i filled it last wednesday & they just been adding to it.

Thus the need to get in early & use their bin... life too short to pile it up inside our place as the boss put her food rubbish in there before she went away & we got TOO MUCH da rubbisch now...
Important stuff u will agree..

Sadly i was without inspiration in the studio & did not do much atall. Then other studio inmates turned up & nice as they is there wasn't gonna be any work occurring while i sat about chattering so i went home & fell asleep again. It is the time of yr when the sun beams at 5am waking u up, & it being warm & Springy weather u don't go to bed til midnight. Thus an imbalance occurs.

Have decided sculpture (this week) is all about DRAWING. I have learned i think to use drawing to seperate the men from (form) the boyz sculpturally speaking & progress into the glorious sculpting future without touching clay/plaster. This is good i think. Previous i never drew at all but if u add drawing to yr repertoire u can make things complicated and do many at once.
Hm another step along the path of the bleedin obvious is it not, but we is never one to learn from other peoples' experience are we, generally...

But i sees this as a positive i gained from the past few weeks of horror doing the proposal etc, trying to look at the up side, since it is what it is, & it affects u how u let it, as Marcus Aurelius was keen to posit.
I think i've learned a lot from these past few weeks & i will attempt to point form it here:
- drawing is good.
- get the full concept sorted fully.
- don't write yourself off completely. think before u go like crazy, what do u *really* need to do?
- i will not be unhappy if i don't get the job, cos if its as hard as this i don't want it.
- they had a computer Projector there - i could have done a bloody Powerpoint!
- if they are paying expenses stay overnight.

BTW that book i asked the National Library to copy, "Modelling & Sculpture in the Making" By Jagger, 1933, they have done it! I can't wait to download it! But as it is the end of the month we are at sub-dial-up speeds & it bring a tear to yr eye & a paralytic clench to yr face if u try to even look at a pictorial webpage. I must wait til tomorrow when i can get the 33 meg at decent speed.
