    checked my phone and saw you rang...

    here's just some random stuff about my day:this was what my drive to work looked like. it might be a little hard to tell but the highway was covered in so much fog, it was crazy. usually you can see clear ahead of you. today, however, it was just covered. yeah, i probably shouldn't have been taking photos on my phone while driving, especially in the fog. but as you can see there wasn't any cars around me at this point.
    then i came home and got this in the mail:
    it's the art catalogue from pete and travie's art show. i really wish i could have checked out the art in person since it's in a gallery in l.a., gallery 1988, but at least there's a blog. on the site you can buy some of the art with a portion of these proceeds going towards invisible children. side-note: for one of my printmaking projects last fall i did a series of three lithographs (in different techniques) about the children of uganda so i've done a little research on invisible children. the movie was so sad. and though i don't really have an extra amount of hundreds of dollars to spend on an art piece at least what i could spend, some of it went towards a good thing. but the catalogue is neat since it has bits and pieces of the art in the show as well as some stories from pete and travis of how the art/show came to be.
    i also ended up getting this shirt. i remember when pete first posted it on his blog. i wanted one so it was good to see they had it for sale.
    it's cool to see pete and travis expressing themselves in another art form. i knew travis was an artist, even gone to art school. but i should have known pete was artsy too. i mean he does like to get his hands into everything. their art is very graffiti influenced...and a few pieces kind of remind me of a few people i went to school with (mainly a certain painter i know). this was a piece from their show. this one was done by travis. the main reason it caught my eye was because it's of alex from a clockwork orange, who i just love. and while i was checking out the gallery's website i stumbled upon this print they have for sale:i really want to get it but it's $20. then again it's only $20 for a screenprint of something/someone i adore. in all realness i'll probably end up not getting it...and probably be bummed by that. but i'm not lying when i tell you i love alex/a clockwork orange. just like my love for b.boyd, alex/acwo have made it's way into a few of my art. this is a litho print i did as a crayon drawing of a very iconic screenshot of the droogs. and my chick-a-saurus that i made is also alex inspired (check out the eye paint). i even named him pete alexander. yes, the "pete" is after pete wentz...he was also an inspiration (notice the clandestine/bartskull). and yes, that is a good charlotte poster in the background. this was taken in my maui bedroom and ngl, i wish i still had that poster. and note the gc screenprint i drew when i was in high school though only half of the members are showing.
    well after coming home from work and after getting my package, my mom and i went to the post office so we could mail something to my auntie. the line there was huge, last minute stuff. while i waited for my mom i listened to a voicemail i got. it was from elise telling me she was coming back to california today and also that laura was graduating and i should give her a call. so i did. she was in the middle of getting lei'd. i thought it was funny how she was trying to talk to me while all this was going on. we decided it wasn't working so well and we'd just talk later. then i called elise but could only leave a message. we always play phone tag. once we got home though she called and i was able to talk to her for a bit. she was at the honolulu airport. i really hope we find a way to see each other while she's in cali. and there was a moment were i swear we share the same mind sometime because i asked if she seen the digital short: jizz in my pants. i knew the answer would be yes but then she said she had just posted it on my wall. to which i told her i was going to leave her a message with it. i've watched this video so many times now, i love it. it's so funny and andy looks so good in it (along with the other loney island boys, though not a good look for justin). can't wait to hear the songs on the rest of their album.


    then i happened upon this awesome .gif while lurking around some sites:
    jizz in my pants!
    it's pretty much perfect. and speaking of rpattz, he cut his hair!?!
    i found some photos while lurking (found some better ones, above, at a later time). he looks so different...and less smelly, haha. looks good though. it'll take some time getting use to it. dang, paparazzi photos are a little creepy. imagine getting your photo taken everytime you're out.
    anyway, so that's what has been on my mind today.
    till later.
