Creativity slump

Hi again,
I bet people did not expect to see another blog from me for i don't know another week or two-well booyah! I'm blogging again! In any case, I'm blogging because Juicebox and Trip are back together and so I can now get back to my solitude.
Classes are going relatively well. Relatively being the operative word. I have finally hit a creativity wall-where ideas are just going out the window-look there goes another one. We had a critique today and like everybody laughed at my images because they were so random. In any case, i figured out the cause...or should I say the excuse. You see-I think creativity is with your left brain (or is it your right-I always get sooo confused) and the right part is the technical part. This class and pretty much every class for the next couple sessions are technical so the right part's working wonderfully and the left part's thinking hey I can go on vacation-but alas no. I try to wake it up, but every time I get a creative idea it ends up being with writing which I think might actually be the right brain-but I have no idea. (LOL what a bad pun there). In any case, I talked to my teacher about it and he kept giving me all these ideas-take long showers, brainstorm... well I tried all of his ideas and still I'm here blogging. But maybe it's because I haven't been walking since the weather's so bad-I really don't know but I hope my left brain wakes up soon! Wake Up Brain! Wake Up! Hope everyone is doing well and blog ya later! If anyone has any ideas please leave a comment-I'd be forever grateful!

It's been quite a while

Hey everyone out there in Cyberspace. How is everyone today? It's the beginning of the end of January-can you believe it? One month out of the way for 2009. Before you know it, it'll be 2020 and we'll have robots or something. Personally, I hope we can discover how to teleport because that would save a ton on airfare!
But I'm sure most of you do not want to read about my hopes and dreams for the future world, unless you are incredibly bored than I'd be happy to share it with you. So why have I not been blogging since Benjamin Button? Well, school has come into full swing and it's been incredibly cloudy out. I've been sick like you wouldn't believe and call me crazy but I do not want to sneeze on my computer.
Most of you probably do not want to know about my shenanigans, you are all probably reading for Juicebox. He always was the popular one. He played soccer in elementary school, although it was rather difficult becuase he's as big as the soccer ball but he made it work. I wish I was there to see the raccoon cheerleaders yell his name. Now though, he's taking a break from Trip. Mostly because Trip had to see his family due to a freak ice cream machine accident that killed a member of his family(don't ask). So now Juicebox has been incredibly bored. What does Juicebox like to do when he's bored? He likes to watch designer shows and awards shows! Even right now we are watching the SAG awards-no it's not a show to see who hasn't the saggiest rear. He's sooooooo happy Meryl Streep won even though he hasn't even seen this movie. He's been praying Milk will win. Yet he hasn't seen that one either. He keeps bugging me to take him but you can't take animals in a theatre unless you have some kind of impaired ability. Even though I might be a tad (okay alot) mentally challenged, that doesn't pass and I can't really smuggle him in. Ohh-Sean Penn's up for Milk-will he win? I'm hoping on Brad Pitt but don't tell Juicebox. Juicebox wins. If you'll excuse me, I have to go calm down a very excited koala.

New Year New FUN

Hello everyone,
It's been literally ages since my last post so I thought I'd post one. I must sincerely apologize for everyone that has called me. Ironically my NY resolution is to keep in touch with people yet I never answer the phone. I have a reason though. Juicebox has been hosting raves like you wouldn't believe and I cannot hear the phone at all. He especially likes George Michael. He doesn't like Michael Jackson though-however he does love Thriller. You haven't lived until you've seen thirty marsupials do the Thriller dance-granted many of them were drunk on peach iced teas.
His rave days are over though because I told him I am done cleaning up throwup....and since it's his friends it's all stuffing. He's not mad though-he's out at a beach bonfire right now. He wanted to go without swim trunks but I told him we don't have any nude beaches.
Other than Juicebox's hijinx, the holidays were interesting. Our family found a remedy for being together-going to the movies! That way we are together but don't actually have to talk to each other! In any case, I have seen "Seven pounds" (no that's not the new Carl's Jr. burger), "Marley and Me," and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" twice." In case you are wondering my pic is the dog one. I normally don't care for animal movies. I mean that lab with that fur and no artificial coloring-it's not natural! But this one was the best family film I've seen in quite a while. After viewing it, I wanted to move to Pennsylvania-and not just to scare the Amish! I'd also recommend the Benjamin Button movie. I know what you are thinking-nearly three hours of a movie with an old guy, really? Well let me tell you it isn't sci-fi at all, it isn't like the short story at all (sorry F.Scott it wasn't your best work), and Ben Button is only old for the beginning. Besides, need I remind you of another long movie that is considered to be the best romantic movie ever (big hint-sinking boat.....still no-Celine Dion.....still no-"I'll never let go".....if you haven't gotten it now you are an idiot).
Seven pounds I will create a new paragraph for because I don't think it should be with the other two due to the fact that it pales in comparison. I don't really want to think about it but I do give it props for the jellyfish exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium-hoot hoot! See it for that and to get a nap, it's the only movie either than one about Africa that I could sleep through.
Hmmm....other than that I got up close and personal with Wii fit and found out specifically why people like it. I also watched movies on DVD-highlights "Rent" (why do I always end up watching this movie) "27 dresses" (which I've seen 27 times) "The dark Knight" (tear-Heath Ledger's last role-tissues in hand) "Burn after reading" (what a dirty sense of humor but brilliant I could not stop laughing, I would quote it but I don't swear-maybe I'll censor myself). I think that's it.
I hope 2009 will be a fantastic year for all of us and we'll have oodles and oodles of adventures! Juicebox's new year's resolution-to get over his fear of microwaves! Snowball's-to kill Juicebox. Does anyone have any ideas for Juicebox on how to overcome it? I don't want to help with Snowball's. I must go now because this is the longest post in history. Adios, Ciao, Sayonara!
