Class 4 Reflection

Class was deece today. We watched some cool inspirational videos to prepare us for our research project, and I especially liked the one artist that did the magnetic stuff. I'm not sure at all what I am going to do my research project on, but I'm definitely thinking about it. I have to pack for vacation, however, so I'm going to keep it brief this eve. Oh, and I'm going to miss both classes next week. Just as a side note. =/

Class #3 Reflection

Sorry it's a bit late, but I felt like I should write this anyway. Class yesterday was cool and extremely short. I feel as though we could have done something more interesting with the door, but leaving it at your house was my idea. I hoped we could put a door on the hinges and maybe frame it and set it up in your driveway, and Steve and I were prepared to do that, but that would have taken a long time, and we didn't want to get the police called on us late at night when we would have been setting it all up. I guess delivering it to your house was almost as cool, but I would have enjoyed doing the other idea as well. Anyway, another interesting class as usual.

Class 2 Thoughts

Class today was pretty legit. Some of the egg presentations were interesting, and it was cool to see what ideas the people in class came up with. The "what if" assignment should be fun, and I am stoked to see what tangents I end up on in the process. I really hope I remember to do the Quetzalcoatl thing. Fingers crossed for that. Buuuuut with the sounds of Shoot 'Em Up in the background, thoughts of work starting sooooo early in the morning, and the sight of the ice cold beer sitting next to me, I feel a bit distracted. So I should probably tell whoever the hell has the TV so loud to turn it down, finish this beer (and maybe another...or more), and go to bed. Oh, the summer life...

Ryan vs. The Egg

So I had a lot of great ideas for what to do with my egg, but it turned out that all of them involved the destruction of private property. Therefore, I let my egg ride around with me in my car for a few days before putting it into my fridge, where it has sat motionless for the last couple of days. I get pissed off every time I look into the fridge, knowing that there are soooooo many fun/mean things to do with eggs, but also knowing that putting an egg in someone's shoe or in with my roommate's load of laundry will both end with mixed results - me laughing hysterically, and the victim wanting to kill me. At the same time, it HAS brought about a certain creativity in my life since it has been sitting sadly in the fridge. Granted, the twisted and evil plots I create in my head are unhealthy ones to have, but nonetheless, it keeps me thinking every time I open the door and peek inside. And how often did I actually THINK about things when I rummaged through the fridge before Mr. Egg was chilling in there? I can't really put a percentage to it, but I would say far less than 50% of the time. So maybe the egg is doing just what it is supposed to be doing by stirring up ideas in my skull, even though it continues to sit there untouched on the top shelf. *sigh*

That Golb Nayr Blog: Initial Thougts

This class is going to be awesome. I've been really trying to explore my creativity since the beginning of the fall '08 semester, and this is just going to be an awesome way to do so. I almost I would have taken this class earlier in my college career, but it's better late than never, I suppose. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my egg. I've had sooooooo many good ideas, but i feel like an excellent one is coming. Fingers crossed...
