This weekend was pretty fun and busy at the same time. I need to start using my weekends as homework/project days, but I can't seem to fall back into my school rhythm (this is bad cause it's already week 4!!).
Friday: I walked to school after going to the doctor's and saw that someone was using the letterpress I signed up for (ARGH!!) so I sat around and hung out with Sandra for awhile in the printmaking studio. We picked up Haiasi after and walked down to Henry's for some happy hour yums and drinks, but come to find out it was waaaaayy too packed to wait around for an empty table. We headed to Denny's and regretted even thinking about eating there. Sandra and I ate some crappy greasy food that made our stomach's soo sore that we had to lie down immediately when we got home. A shitty way to spend $9 for a small plate of hash browns, 4 decrepit looking sausage links, and a cup of coke. NEVER AGAIN.
Saturday: My friend from high school drove down from Olympia, WA to spend the day with me. We ended up eating some dim sum and pho at Jin Wah (they have the best salt pepper squid EVER.) He then left to hang with another friend while Haiasi and I went with Sandra to IKEA and browsed around for a bed frame. We were going to grab a futon frame, but it was so low to the ground that it wouldn't have made much of a difference to what we were already doing (sleeping on the ground.) We ended up finding a cute black wood frame that felt pretty sturdy and solid. Our first bought furniture piece! I have to say, my lover has some good taste. The night ended with some giggles and Patch Adams watching.
Sunday: Woke up in a hurry and caught a ride down with David and Gabby to Lloyd Center Theaters to watch Coraline in 3D. Arrived too early and got frustrated at the fact that AI bought all the 2:35 showings for Coraline and the 5:10 had quickly sold out. Junko arrived shortly after. After some questionable talking with the AI guy with the tickets, Haiasi worked his magic and got me and Junko free tickets (saved $10). Watched Coraline and loved every single second of it. It was great having it in 3D and I will mosdef be buying the DVD :D Go watch it if you can. Not so much of a kiddy movie so it was enjoyable.
That was my jam packed weekend. This week I have a Theory + Practice project due. I am printing out a huge buddha that will be completely covered in glitter and hung in a huge frame. I tried to do an anaglyph buddha (where you need to wear the red and blue glasses to see it pop out) but I failed horribly and scratched that idea. Glitter Buddha it is! I shall update later...
