progress on claireification.com
Being finals week, I really don’t have time to elaborate on my process, or things I am getting stumped on. Instead, I will just show you a screen shot of how much HTML/CSS I’ve conquered so far.

Why we’re miserable
“internet socializing is ruining us!“
says the advocate of not making eye contact with anyone on campus, ever. [read that article... sorry to my conservative viewers... it has moderate adult language...]
In all honesty though, I have lost a lot of tolerance for annoying people. I thought my road rage was hereditary, but it’s probably just my lack of patience with the human race (…which could also be hereditary).
I admittedly feel more accomplished when I get strait forward criticism from my roommates when they point out that I’m being mean, or friends when they tell me that I’m throwing myself a pity party, and I need to get over it. I feel better actually talking to people instead of typing to them. I feel better when I can go for a jog or go to dinner with friends… but it’s so much easier doing homework on my computer, in my room, by myself.
But.. the easiest things are hardly ever, if ever, worth it.

Holy Frick, it’s cold
…and it definitely feels like it.
It’s an unconfirmed fact that I am declaring now, Rexburg is the coldest point on planet Earth,
fascinating!!

neat
Ran across this from an old co-worker’s Facebook feed.
When I have $15, I will support this.
I don’t know who organized this, but I love student lead stuff like this. In my high school career I tried to push limits on what we were doing, and get to new places. Nothing major of course, but it’s a good feeling to try something different, and try to make a difference.

Busted!
Here’s a long drawn out anecdote:
Tuesday, before I left for book arts, I distinctly remember thinking, “I should put on some actual shoes instead of being lazy and wearing my slippers…. nahhh!!” And off I truck, bag of copied pages for some books and my laptop. It had slightly snowed, and I wasn’t paying too much attention, just making my way to class, and then both my feet decided to go on an adventure without me. I slipped, quite peacefully actually, right on my bum. It stung, but I got up, made sure no one saw, and walked the rest of the way to class. I got there and was in a TON of pain. It was probably just bruised though. My stellar roommate it a nurse, and had a ginormous gel ice pack in the fridge. It helped, but the next 2 mornings it took a lot of concentration to just get out of bed without causing myself severe pain. When I couldn’t walk down the hall to get the ice pack or some Ibprophen, and just cried through it. I tried going to class when I could walk (hobble very carefully, rather) , and almost passed out. I couldn’t lay down for long periods of time, I couldn’t lay on my side for long periods of time, thus, getting anything done was near impossible. I was done. My lovely, lovely, neighbor took me to the student health center, they took some x-rays, and sure enough my tail bone is BUSTED.
I now take some super-ultra-power Ibprophen during the day, and generic Vicoden at night. It has helped a bunch. I hardly feel any pinching or discomfort when I sit. And I was able to work tonight. BONUS!
So.. the moral of the story is: Don’t prolong getting drugs.
The End

I wish I was still 7
If I still took the Sunday paper and cut out pictures from Toys-r-us ads to give Santa visuals of my hearts desire, this would be the prominent picture:
You take your old nubby crayons and melt them down into NEW swirl-tastic crayons!
Because I am older… I have more refined wish lists created on websites. Okay, no plural, I only have one wish list on Amazon.

who’s excited?!
So it has finally come to that time of the semester where I am starting to work on my portfolio site. WAHOOOO!! I have a ton of ideas, which means weeding out the not so perfect ones and a ton of design work to do. Not to mention gathering all of my past works and then the creating of an actual website.
www.claireification.com does not redirect you to this blog, but by mid December it will take you to a site where all of my work will be put in display.
I also talked to my professor about where I’m at with this project, and as a designer, as well as my upcoming BFA project and I think for the most part I’m on track. He also suggested taking the CIT 260 class and I’m golden for that as long as I can fit it into my schedule. I feel like knowing as much as I can about HTML & CSS can only help me find a job after I graduate. Wish me luck… and for fellow artists, CRITIQUE PLEASE!

Oh to be an Oregonian!
My mother, in all her quirkiness sent me this via e-mail:
TIRED OF THE RAIN!
A curious fellow died one day and found himself waiting in the long line of judgment. As he stood there he noticed that some souls were allowed to march right through the pearly gates into Heaven. Others though, were led over to Satan who threw them into the burning fire. But every so often, instead of hurling a poor soul into the fire, Satan would toss a soul off to one side into a small pile. After watching Satan do this several times, the fellow’s curiosity got the best of him. So he strolled over and asked Satan what he was doing. “Excuse me, Prince of Darkness,” he said. “I’m waiting in line for Judgment, but I couldn’t help wondering. Why are you tossing those people aside instead of flinging them into the Fires of Hell with the others?” “Oh those” Satan groaned “they’re all from Oregon; they’re still too wet to burn.”
I miss Oregon!

FFFFOUND! <aesthetically inspirational> InvisableMan
And I bought this book at the deYoung Museum.
At the SFMOMA I got to see the Richard Avedon exhibit. I like a lot of art, I admire a lot, I am inspired by a lot, I am in awe over a lot, I love art. But I am hardly ever moved to the point of being choked up, so congratulations Richard ole’ boy, your work did the trick. I didn’t actually cry, but his portraits are beautiful. I know he’s well known and maybe he’s cliche to admire, but dang-it, he’s talented.
I will post highlights of the trip and more links of where we went (mm! crazay good gelato).
Right now we’re in Truckee California staying the night and trekking back to Rexburg tomorrow. Man, college needs more field trips. I am excited to get back to routine but seeing new places and having adventures with people you don’t really know but go to your school. Anyway… ta ta for now world.
