Last Update: ten/seven/two thousand eight

Latest Changes: Random stuff. Something like six new writes in the words. Something like five new things in the construct gallery. Something like ten new things in the view gallery. Pictures of the physical irgendwahn art book are up; look for it in words or construct areas, since it's multi-sectional.
Sparkly less-than-new page! You can now expect to find random junk on the super-possibly rad random page, located in the other area.

_message...

-currently:
VCU fell through. I am no match for their bureaucratic bullshit and needed more time to scrounge up documentation that I am not lying to them at every possible step in the application process. Hopefully I will be set for the Spring semester, if they ever respond to my admission response form. o_O

-previously:
The site is really close to being minimally fully-fleshed out. I just need to tighten up a few gibbers for the perpetually vacant escribir area. [5/15/08]

-recently:
Walked on May 10th for Commencement, and was awarded an Associate of Arts and Sciences degree, Magna Cum Laude. Well, I was actually awarded the document holder, and they're going to mail me the actual paper next month or something. In other news, I've submitted Cubist Still Life 9 and Grey Areas to Inquiry. Here's hoping that works out. [5/15/08]
Update: Cubist Still Life 9 made it to their final five picks out of the state, but not the final one. [6/32/08]

Both the best and worst thing to happen to a web site has happened to me - I've had enough traffic to go over my bandwidth allowance. This was likely due to some crooked jackasses that hotlinked a few of my images, but I got them back for it. On the down side, now I'm paying a monthly fee because I had a few portfolio links in my university application, so the site going down happened at the worst possible time and I couldn't just wait for next month. Gr8. [4/19/08]

-randomly:

-brevity:
People seem to be getting out of touch with one another like never before, despite the new advances in keeping-in-touch technologies, like the MySpaces and Facebooks on the internets, cellular phones, e-mail an so on. Well, I can forgive e-mail, since spammers are single-handledly (well, thousands-handedly?) turning the single most important advent in interpersonal communications into a devastating tedium. Forgive the digression; to the point, we today are veritably brow-beaten by options and services to stay connected that we're barely utilizing. I have a few friends from high school, for instance, that aren't sacks of apathy that I would call up for a cup of coffee and some chat ... if I would call up for a cup of coffee and some chat. Yes, hypocrisy rears its ugly head - I, too, barely make an effort. Sure, I'm busy - anyone worth his bid on the oxygen supply keeps busy - but it's so little a time expenditure to say something to someone. Say what? That's more the trouble. Plus, people change, people outgrow some people - Lawdy, I know I have - but that complicates things even more. What if I've outgrown This Person? What if I was outgrown by This Person? What if I say something and find out That Person is stuck in high school? What if ... what if ...
I should probably get back to studying.
