Back in school and I'm already up late working on projects!
Last night I made the mistake of taking a late nap. After I got back from eating I decided to watch some 30 rock episodes on my computer in my bed. I fell asleep around 9 p.m.ish and I woke up at 12:30 a.m.! No one was in the room except me and I didn't want to go back to sleep right then because I knew I had work to do so i started to paint. After my room mates came in to go to bed I set up my lamp in my bed and put blankets around as to not disturb them.

HALLOWEEN EXTRAVAGANZA-PARTY-TIME-ADVENTURES!!
So, Halloween night I got the last usage of my costume as Elmo (there could possibly be a cameo in the near future, you never know) and I wanted to use it to the fullest, in other words, become A Savannah celebrity!!!!
First, my roommate and I met up with some friends (who drive) to get this show on the go!
Then, we came to the conclusion that there were 6 of us and the transportation provided, seated 5. So, I was the bigger person (literally and metaphorically) and sacrificed my seating privileges for someone else...which means, I got the trunk. Do not worry, I had fun, however I did forget my ipod and phone so my only means of entertainment were my camera!
There are a lot more pictures (it was a long drive) but these were the cream of the crop. We made our first stop at the mall, but it had already closed, except for Barnes & Nobles where Elmo made his first appearance in the children's section during a story time reading. I chatted with the kids for a bit in Elmo voice of course. The kids were fine but the parents seemed a little freaked out. I did not take pictures with the kids but I did take a photo with my brethren!
The next stop was Ihop of course. We were all starving. I asked for a table in Elmo voice, and even ordered food in Elmo voice. I made sure to point to the menu so that if the waitress didnt understand me, she could at least see what I was pointing at. Speaking of which, she was really creepy. She would not stop staring at me! Even when everyone else was ordering she would be looking at me. She would come to the table at random times too just to stare. She even thought I had some machine doing my voice for me. The worst part was every time she came to the table for other stuff like hows the food, and "need napkins", and the check, everyone in my group assumed I was the spokesperson and they would just stay silent. It was by far the best and worst Ihop experience....back in the trunk for me.
The last stop was Wal-Mart! I didnt take any pictures in there, but I did run into a heap of small children in the toys section who were so confused of Elmo's height. I did get a nice shelf though. I do have pictures of me back in the trunk with groceries!
Last but not least, I volunteered for the Savannah Film Festival! I only recognized one person the entire time, but I still had fun, and now I can say I had experience working in a movie theater, so thats cool! Altogether it was a really good Halloween experience. But nothing can beat last years going Trick r' Treating with porch decorations, that was the ultimate fun, plus, I got candy!

here is the video link from the costume contest.
if you can't understand Elmo talk I'll translate:
Costume contest!
i say:
"Hi, my name is Elmo,
and I like coloring,
counting,
spelling,
long walks on the beach,
and laughter."

Busy-ness
I have been super busy this past week.
First on Friday there was a Masquerade Ball!
However, it was about 3 blocks away and me and my party-going friends had to walk in what was basically a monsoon! Before we left I bundled up in a plastic bag over my head, a shower curtain over my body, and 3 layers of grocery plastic bags around my furry red slippers. Oh yah, I was Elmo by the way.
My roommate Joe, and our friend Katie tagged along as well. He was The Spirit (based on the graphic Novel (soon to be a major motion picture!)), and Katie was the female Joker from the series (whose name escapes me right now) in her insane asylum attire.
It was really crowded in the ballroom, and it didn't help that everyone wanted to tickle me. I was obviously Bilingual Elmo, not Tickle-Me-Elmo. There was also a surplus of a certain costume in that area...you guessed it the Joker. I counted at least 10.
The next day I woke up early (which was like noon) to go to a mask making workshop (extra credit WOOT). I had to rub Vasaline all over my face so that the plaster would not stick to my eyebrows or facial hair.
Then later I entered a costume contest for laughs and giggles just to see if I could win.
Ya, I was robbed by Tetris. I had a speech, and I even had a song prepared in case there was a talent portion to the contest. I just want to let you know that I very well could have won if more of my friends were there (i do have friends here)!
Halloween is still approaching so maybe I'll enter another contest (and hopefully win).
I did however win first place in a recent photoshop contest. The contest was "Director's Mothers Cut" and the goal was to take the scary element out of the poster to make it sutable for kids, just like mom would have done. Voila

my first grade in 2D design
Last week I got my grade back on this project here for 2D design.
It's composed of 3 letters. Can you see them all. Well my professor had trouble seeing one of the letters so he dropped my grade to a B+. However, just yesterday when he was giving back our projects he called me up to claim it, and as he was handing it back to me he stopped himself and said "I'm going to take a second look at it." So I went back to me seat and he handed back the rest of them and looked at it some more then came back to me and bumped it up to an A-. I was so happy!
by the way the letters are "Q,c, and A." Can you see them?

A Month Has Passed...
and I am having a great time!...
A couple of weeks ago the Diabetes walk in Utah took place, and last year I had the opportunity to volunteer for it. This year I wasn't able to be there, however, I helped my best friends Mike and Kaylie to make T-Shirts solely for this event, and I wore mine that day with pride.
And there was plenty of walking that day...I had to walk to the bus stop.The bus took me to the mall where I got my Halloween costume!
It's a little snug, but then again it was made for a 3-year-old. This is just a preview; come Halloween I've got a perfect pair of redm"gym bottoms" to go with this get up!TTFN (ta ta for now)

This is Savannh!
I believe every city with a college should have a starbucks near the campus... I don't drink, but still...
Spanish Moss should be the state flower, despite the fact that it's not a flower.
There are no new cars aloud in Savannah. Only fooling.
This is my means of transportation.
Picture time during my 2D design class.
Sunset near the bridge that leads to South Carolina.
Night time in Savannah. I stood in the road to take this one, but I looked both ways first.
