<< Interim report rough draft for thesis.

Come on, what did you expect? I didn’t spend 4 years at art school to print out an MLA format, white wash title page with my name on it. Granted, designing this and stapling Blue acetate plastic to the back of it didn’t take long, but it was sure noticeable!

I prefer to stand out, when possible, with as little effort as possible. It’s not that it’s my goal to make anyone else look bad (as people have suggested), it just sorta happens. More work now = less work later.

As for the inside text, it was a rough draft, but I wrote it as a final paper, complete with Annotated Bibliography that V helped with, THANK YOU! (I HATE Biblio formatting. HATE). I think I felt a little stupid that night when I couldn’t deal with the MLA crap, but then I looked down at the microchip I’d just programmed earlier, and was like, I’m not the stupid one here, fuck you MLA.

It still surprises me, but everyone likes my thesis. People keep mentioning that to me, which is nice. Thanks! Even Johanna (thesis advisor) isn’t suggesting I change things, or do it differently; she thinks it’s a good idea. So I guess it must be. I just hope I can pull it off the way I want to.

Mould-making (work) tonight was great. I got about half of a new sculpture done as well as some reading for electronics. I must have looked pretty funny. I set myself up with a 2 tables, sketchbook, laptop, readings, and of course, clay/water/plaster. I like to multitask! I don’t worry so much about getting my laptop all dirtied up with clay. I back up my files regularly, and if anything ever does break, I can do the repairs myself (ebay = replacement parts). I NEVER want to be one of those people that has a freaking slip cover for their keyboard and such. It’s a mass produced piece of plastic for god’s sake. I mean ya, It would suck if it broke, but it’s not going to burst into flames because it has a fingerprint on it.
