On Saturday Sam and I took a break from schoolwork and headed to the Brewery Art Walk. I’d been to this art walk twice before, the last time in early 2009. I don’t think I’ll go again – as most of the art was exactly the same, and hardly any was impressive at all. What […]
Hive
I’ve been trying to have a painting at the Hive Gallery every month now since May. In August my painting got bumped because it was too large. It resurfaced for the September show, but I don’t think I posted a picture here because I ended up missing the Art Walk. Below is a photo: For […]
conserving what?
The above photograph is a five year study of the globe in regards to unhealthy particles in the air. Click on the photo to read the article at NASA and see the dramatic difference between US air quality and Chinese. I have cropped and modified the original image to show the United States only. That yellow spot […]
the end of an era
I hadn’t been truly sick since July 4th weekend 2008.

I have no idea how they ranked them, but Art and Music probably didn’t factor in as much as other things like financial markets. If ranked on GDP […]
the art of convenience
Art Walk August
I was going to this art walk by myself, so I decided to wait for the traffic to die down to make my way downtown. Of course, this also meant the crowds would be bigger and the parking would be harder. The regular parking lots have been increasing their prices every time. One that used […]
Something’s Fishy
On Saturday, the 7th, I cleaned my room and, more importantly, the fish tank. This was the first time I’d actually taken the tank out since putting it in the wall. I decided to ditch the stones and rocks. I cleaned off the shells and put the big rock back in. It looks much more […]
