Oral Thermometer

Quick blog

For Biology we have to take our temperature every hour, everyday, for a week.

I keep my thermometer with me at all times.

BEDA #20? Lights show

I'm too busy to write a new blog. So I'm going to copy/paste from a facbeook comment I made on a friend's status.

I went to a friend's house and we made a psychedelic 60's-esque liquid lights show out of pot lids, water-colors, and corn syrup.

now I'm typing a paper about puppetry's role in politics.... Read More
Though the typing isn't going so well because I keep reading too much about it and haven't spent much time on the actual paper. It's due very soon and it still needs to be revised and edited 3 times.

Liquid Lights Show/ Puppet Paper Presentations

I find I can't enjoy times when I'm not doing work because the thought of having to do work later looms over me.

I'm writing a paper on puppetry for speech, and it needs to be five pages long.
Mine is already five pages long but I only have two paragraphs in it, it doesn't even really address the main question yet. I still have three sections to add to it.
and it's been hovering over me all day.

I should be working on it now because I have a Biology project to do tomorrow with my partner.
The paper is due on Friday, along with a presentation of it.
It still needs to be revised and edited three times.


Though if I can find some candy-dye, our Bio project will be super.
We want to do a liquid lights show.
I need two clock-faces
Some Candy Dye(s)
Some Mineral Oil
and my Over-head projector.
I'm having no success finding the candy dye.
I need it for noon tomorrow.
I'm not even sure if I can buy it IRL.
I would have gone to the local thrift-store for clock-faces but my neighborhood was flooding today and the streets were crowded with cars and it was too cold/wet to bike.

So, two large projects to do tomorrow, awesome.

I saw Beauty and the Beast for a fourth time.
I wish I'd been able to go to the cast-party at the zoo, but I would have been out too late.

I highly doubt I'd actually get any writing done if I started working on my paper now (midnight) so I think I'll just read more Death Note.
Bye.

(I missed the Aurora Pictureshow's Media Archeology showing of Andy Warhol’s Exploding Plastic Inevitable with The Velvet Underground .
Oh well.)

Melting Walls

Okay, I know I've been failing-hardcore at BEDA but, I've been super busy doing things and not spending enough time writing about them.
I'm sorry.

I went to see Silver Apples with Joshua Lights Show at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston presented by Aurora Picture Show.

It was such a great experience that it need to be talked about properly.
Tomorrow I'll blog about both Dan Deacon and the Silver Apples
and hopefully they'll be thorough.

Currently importing a B L A C K I E album.

Day of Silence?

I might be participating in Day of Silence, though I dunno
At my school it would kind of be redundant.
Nobody outright hates gays or acts homophobic.

Some of the kids get uncomfortable around homoerotic activity/behavior, but that's about it, it's not bad at all. Everyone's really tolerant.

I think I might, just for fun. But it would sort of be cooler to talk and have dialogue about the issues, but I doubt that'll actually happen.

I was going to announce it at Community Meeting this morning, but three people monopolized our entire 10 minute sharing time with needlessly long (though I'll admit, they were humorous) stories.

It's sort of pointless to do if nobody understands why, and I can't very well explain it while I'm being silent.

Anyway. I've gotta go to a Dan Deacon concert right now. Bye!

School Sucess Shadows (Faberge Falls For Shuggie)

Rachel W. shadowed at Woods today!
and She loved it!
it completely made my day that it didn't go horribly awry.
Dorian and Chris did a "Welcome to Woods" improv for her, on the Ukulele. It was really entertaining, and I improv tends to be appealing to theater kids.
None of the other shadows were paying much attention, but I found it hilarious.

Rachel is on the fence between my school and her local public school.
My school have 90 students and is in two-houses.
Her local public school is massive and architecturally...just like your local public school.
I really really hope she chooses our school.

We watched The Truman Show today in Film and Philosophy and it was superb.

Stress Syrup. And Uncertaintly.

I don’t know what to say.
I feel like today has been exhausting though nothing of significance has happened.
I thought I had a lot of math homework, but since I’m going to get help with the Self-Test I didn’t really.
And reading didn’t take as long as I thought it did.
(Though I still haven’t done vocab)
The thought of work is what stresses me out.
Actually doing work isn’t too bad.

Today my stress-triggered neck-twitch started firing super hardcore, I got loads of comments on it. In addition to that I started pulling out my hair again. A lot.
And I don’t know why.
Comparatively, I didn’t have that much to do today.
I sorta feel like I need somebody to talk to, but were I to have that somebody, I’d have nothing to say.
In fact, I have some bodies everywhere. I can be almost completely open with all of my internet friends.
I don’t really know how I feel.
I hate commitments.
I love borrowing stuff, but I hate the thought of returning it.
I guess what I fear is responsibility.
Thoreau didn’t have to be accountable to anybody for anything.
He made everything on his own, for himself.
Self-reliance is beautiful.
As is dependence.
Am I dependant?
I’m tired.



Rachel W. is shadowing tomorrow, I really hope the students can pull themselves together enough to impress her.
I’d love for her to come to our school,
I wish she’d come today, or the day after tomorrow. But Tuesday means I have English, and my English class is embarrassing.
It’s the epitome of what my school should not be.
Though Claire and I should have an awesome final project.
She brightens up English.
She’d better not be sick tomorrow, that would suck.

New musical love: The Tontons’ - Dancing + Syrup
Only Syrup was on the internet though.
