I am in the middle of a crafty cycle. My mind is overflowing with creative juices. I just want to make things and think up new things to make. Right now I am turning recycled copper wire into jewelry.

This month

Did I ever tell you that October is my favorite month? Well now you know. I love the way the weather always gets colder in October, even if it was already cold. I love the way the leaves start to fall in October. I love Halloween. I love the colors of autumn. I just can't get enough of it.

WTF, Batman?

Ok, something weird just happened. Some random motherfucker from the interwebs just commented on an old blog of mine.

Are you kidding me? The artist is actually very good. Your a hopeless critique Im sure. You honestly cant say anything if you havent read the comics or looked at other peices of the artits work. Im being honest, if You dont like what I've said then you have the right to be angry with me.

The art this guy/gal is referring to is EMOBOY an emo superhero. Aaaaaaaaand after reading this comment I'm utterly speechless. I did read all the comics, sure the artist is talented, but I still think it's the most depressing thing I've seen in quite some time. Glorifying these skinny whinny little shits, what could be more depressing than that. What leaves me even more distraught is that this commentor has no real user file, which means they are probably one of those limp dicked rodents who will freely criticise another persons opinion and cannot stand up to open criticism themselves. Ether that or this is someone I know playing a joke, because I just cant see any person with reason, taste, or a spine leaving an anonymous comment like this.

Remember the sculptures I was hunting down, well campus now has a brochure that points out all of the sculptures around town. These brochures are on stands that have labels for the sculptures on campus.

Wonders, large and small.

Over the past couple of months there have been sculptures popping up all around Laramie, particularly around campus. I decided to snap a few pics of these outdoor sculptures as I found them, so I could share them on my blog.

First I want to show you the brand new sculptures on campus.

This sculpture is done in concrete covered in rusted iron. It can be rotated on its base by several strong individuals, and is located on Prexy's pasture in front of Half Acre Gym.


This one is done using tree branches wrapped around a frame. The openings are large enough to walk through. This one is in front of the Education and Ag buildings on Prexy's.


This sculpture is located in front of the Ag building, on Prexy's. It is done with either galvanized steel or aluminum, I didn't check. It would be great to put someone in the middle and have them pose.


This is the main part of a two piece sculpture located in front of the A&S building. The other piece is just a stone column with a piece of metal through it, like the one on the right here.

In front of Ross Hall there is a long sculpture that is composed of many materials including steel, glass, plastic, and even dirt and grass. The middle is like a huge I-beam and the ends remind me of tractor troughs full of turf.


This sculpture looks like a rusted set of squiggly lines, but inside there is a little chair that you can get to by walking a small path through the innards of the sculpture.


Last but not least I wanted to point out a few sculptures that have been on UW since before I came to school. Starting at the the top--Ben Franklin, Trex, UW family, and the Puma Steel sculpture beside the Engineering building.

Good Handball Day

We were epic on the courts today. We had some of the best played rallies ever....and of course Linus almost got his left nut imploded by the ball, but other than that it was hella fun.
