magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

the other thing that i wanted to do while i was home was call bret and wish him a happy birthday. but i forgot. so he's going to have to settle for email.

some kids came trick-or-treating while i was eating dinner. i looked around for something to give them, and only came up with ginger candy. they might think it's disgusting. they might like it. after they left it occurred to me that i should have taken a picture of them for my site. but they were only half-heartedly in costume.

i put my halo on because i forgot to wear it to studio this morning. i walked around my apartment trying to think of what it was that i wanted to bring back to studio with me. a few minutes passed before i remembered that it was the halo that was now on my head. my brain works so well i should be on national tv.

dan didn't come in until one today. we didn't have a pin-up, just desk crits. i had a lot of little ideas dragging me in a million directions as always, but no over-arching ideas for the site. dan told me to come up with one, and he'd come back and talk to me again at the end of the day. which ended up being after seven. but, i guess i have a direction for the next week's worth of work now.

caught up on george's recent journal entries when i was back in the beb. he's been doing some really good writing. much better than anything i've written recently. which is not even really saying much. but his stuff is good.

and so of course i was right that no one else came into the cad lab in any sort of costume. rather like last year in the library. i know that risd students are busy. and the artist ball is coming up and people don't want to make two costumes, and don't want to wear the same thing twice. but really, i feel like people should do something. and so many risd students don't.
