Bewitching

So while I was, again, working on poster designs today I watched a bunch of Bewitched episodes. I don't know about you, but I just love old tv shows. It's weird 'cause I remember liking this show as a kid, but now for some reason it was almost irritating. The costumes and makeup were really cool, but the interactions between Darrin and Samantha were really weird! I get that they love each other, but Darrin's really controlling and doesn't handle change well while Samantha is just so easily offended! Ah, stereotypes. And It's like every episode's plot is dependent on some ridiculous miscommunication... There really isn't much they have in common either. Obviously, since it's a tv show, it's not based in reality. But I still doubt their marriage would work in real life! Anyways, those are my random thoughts :p

At Least my Work is Done!

Well, I don't know about you, but I kind of like the results of my impromptu blog re-design!  But I really need to blog earlier in the day...I worked on my poster designs for several hours and I, again, don't feel like writing. Come to think of it, I actually had a very productive day. Aside from doing 4 poster designs and a website design, I also did a ton of housework and finally purchased a rake! Yeah, I have a huge oak tree in my front yard and...well it's shedding :p Most of the leaves haven't fallen off yet and I still ended up picking up two bags of leaves!! I'm really not looking forward to the rest of the leaves falling off.

Bringing Creative Back!

Yeah, so I didn't actually go to the Brown's game, but I was right across from the stadium and just had to take some pictures of all the people. It was ridiculous how many people there were! We couldn't even park in the Science Center's parking lot 'cause it was a Brown's game day. And there were so many people that they started walking in the street--in front of cars--and wouldn't even stop walking to let us into the place where we could actually park. Seriously, people really were walking in the middle of the street like "the Brown's game is more important than my life." 

Anyways, the real reason we went to Cleveland was to go to the Titanic exhibit at the Science Center. Wow, it was amazing! So well done and well designed too! I never get tired of studying the Titanic. There was no photography allowed in the exhibit...so I have no pictures for you. Probably the coolest part was one part of the exhibit that showed which passengers were headed for the Northeast Ohio area. 

On another note...if you've visited my blog before, you'll notice it looks completely different! I've been planning a new site design for awhile and well, this isn't it. I'm still planning the other one. But, I was bored and I just decided to do this! Also, I'm finally feeling creative again! Anyways, I'm kinda like this design...so at least I'm happy with it until my other new design is done :p

As you can tell from the title, I am still not feeling creative. You know when I'm the most creative? In the shower. I should take a notebook in there with me. I have a few poster designs, but I'm really gonna have to spend the weekend coming up with more ideas.

...Inspiration. I really need some. There are times when I'm super creative and other times when I'm just...really not. I love art school, but I hate when I have an absolutely brilliant idea...after the assignment's due! Lately I've been trying to make myself be creative even when I don't feel like it. That's one reason I'm blogging now. I've had a long day and I'm just tired and done being creative. It's practice.

I think that's one reason my posts have been so (not) awesome lately. By the time I'm done with school and homework I'm just fresh out of creative. I've always loved being artistic and designing things, but I don't want it to become a chore. I want design to be something I love! So yeah, that's what I'm focusing on this semester--being creative when I have to and not just when I want to.

I Love Layers

I'm a little disappointed summer's over, but I do love fall! Especially because of layering! So I realized that as long as I have decent lighting, this front hall actually does make a great place for pictures. The ones I took today (not these...) actually turned out pretty cool! ...which is totally awesome 'cause it's getting cold outside.

So I can't believe I totally forgot to tell you what happened to me on Tuesday! So Tuesdays and Thursdays are like my long days on campus. I have classes from around 9am to 8pm. Although if I get out of photography on time I can go home for about an hour so it's not so bad. No...that's still bad. Anyways, as I was trying to drive home for that hour for lunch my car would not start. Well, it's not that it wouldn't start...and more that the key wouldn't turn. It's been really difficult to turn the key for awhile and it seems that things completely broke that day. And since I was expecting to be able to go home I had no food with me, no homework to do...and no headphones. So I couldn't even just watch Netflix or anything. Oh, and Laura was visiting me and since she didn't have a phone with her I couldn't call her to tell her I wasn't going to be home! (she also said to not do the picture of the apple in my hands 'cause it's too reminiscent of Twilight :p)

Normally I would just have my dad fix it (and he would totally drive an hour just to fix my car...he's awesome like that). But...my dad's currently recovering from leg surgery and can't drive yet. So I'm just stuck at school. Thankfully my dad called around and found a locksmith to drive out and change the tumbler or something. Whatever the guy did my car works now! It was funny though because the locksmith called me so I could direct him to my car in the parking garage. Ha. Me giving directions to someone. Yeah, I don't really give directions that well :p What's worse is I could barely hear the guy over the phone! 

I ended up missing half of my web design class. But it's ok, 'cause my car is fixed now and the class is super easy and I caught up really quickly. I'm so thankful that I have such an awesome dad who was able to help even if he couldn't even get off the couch! That's why he's the couch superhero. He's awesome.
