Get Your “Uno” On (Uno In The Grass)

Hiiii everybody. Excuse nonsensicalness (whoa that’s actually a word, pleasant surprise~~), please, I’ve be not-at-home from morning to pretty much now, so my mind is a bit.. fuzzled (now that’s not a real word). I was at “graphic arts camp,” then we went to see Ice Age, and finally Barnes & Noble. I got a book! Two books! One is all about space by this seemingly really cool writer named Neil deGrasse Tyson, who I hear is the only person to have been interviewed on the Colbert Report six times, and was the first guest Colbert ever had on. I was worried that it would be all stuff I didn’t understand (science words, I mean, like meteoric-galactic-space-gelatin-neuro-plasma-thing-blob), but the blurb on the back says Mr. Tyson is known for explaining “the mysteries of outer space with clarity and enthusiasm.”

.. yeah.

The other book I got is Travels with Charley in Search of America, by John Steinbeck. I didn’t get to look through it much, but my dad thinks I’ll love – or at least like – it. I think I will, too. It’s a Penguin Classic (just like Winesburg, Ohio, which I have and still need to read)! Blurb sounds all soul-searchy but oddly uncorny (yesyesyes), plus it involves “the rhythms of nature,” so it shouuld be awesome-philosophical-sauce. “Me likey.”

So yeah, graphic arts camp! Whoo! Not really, actually. I mean, it’s okay – there’s just a lot to say that I don’t necessarily, uh, want on the interweb, where certain people might see, and it’d just be generally awkward or something like that. Ooon the plus side, I’m making some pretty cool stuffs that I’ll probably get to show you in the near future! It involves furry monsters and lots of cool retro-ish Illustrator design. Yeah!

My friend Eliza takes some pretty cool photos. This is one of my favorites. Speeaking of photography, I got a Holga as a late Bar-Mitzvah present (thanks Jennifer!). So far, it’s awesome. It even comes with a built-in colorflash thingy with white, red, yellow, and blue flashes. It, being a Lomo camera, also, reminds me of the Diana+ but it’s more like it’s older brother or something. Or friend. Or something. It feels really sturdy and a bit more real-camera-ish than the Diana+, however. But they’re both super cool. I like saying that a lot now, “super cool?” Anyway, you’re probably thiiinking “ooh, he got another camera. psshh.” Well that’s what I think you might be thinking. So please stop thinking that! Aah I’m not an ungrateful turd! Stop!

I also really like these paintings by Jennifer Sanchez.

finally..

heheh.

Okeleydokeley, I think that was a decent post considering the conditionz. I think I’ll do some more recapping on the tour/L.A. trip, later (like this weekend), if’cha don’t mind. I need sleep. ttfn! (that’s only cool because that guy said it!)
