I'm Nobody's Little Weasel

We're on the same time zone again! If you live in AZ that is.

So life's been busy. We're in our 3rd week of school now and still don't have our final grades back. I'm still vying for the top of the class but don't think I'm it as I've had some drawbacks. Swear to God if I didn't have Amelia for baldcaps I would've scored higher b/c I think I'm good at capping. She however is a bitch. To color match.

I've been trying to get more people to lifecast but there's little interest unlike what I thought. $50 is something the student body prolly couldn't afford and few are interested outside of it. 1 man who found me on the LJ got casted and it came out great but like all of us, it's a shock to see how we truly look vs what we assume we see of ourselves. He couldn't believe he was "jowly" but that's how he looks. It's something he can reflect back on over time. It's truly something unique that we can't see again (in 3D vs photos and videos) in our lifetime. I'd kill to see casts of my parents over their lifetime so I'm trying to do that for my kids (and then of course TO them lol). Anyways there was a vein or maybe the alginate cast buckled during the pour - that kinda popped out (it happens to everyone - my 22 cast has it) and I decided not to get rid of it - guess I should've. His friend also got casted and she was pleased. Maybe she's less vain or was putting on a false front. Either way I hope they get the word out that I do this b/c I need the $ and experience if I want to work in an FX lab this summer. Competition for it in my classroom is FIERCE. I'm practicing my sculpting quite a bit now too to the point that I'm spending long hours at the school 7 days a week.

3 makeup designs to make. 2 technically. Mali's going to become a girl from Apocalypto and I'm going to build the costume, wig, and jewelry as well as a good port piece. I have to make something for Daichi - and I'm thinking he's going to become the porcupine dude from XMEN3. So many options but I'm too focused on Mali's right now that it's mentally becoming an issue for me.

I'm also going to enter into the LA IMATS 08. If accepted, the school pays for it - woot. I'm going to have Stan and Charles take a look at my port at the middle of term. Makes me wonder if I have a chance, but I want to go.

My life's makeup now. I can't believe it. I miss Stephen and home incredibly but I'm happy to be sequestered away working as well. He's very busy and making the required $ to get his braces and future car paid off. We both really don't talk much anymore and as he puts it "content with it". I don't know - we're surviving and ok - that has to say something good about our relationship. Very much looking forward to break - he can maybe take a week off and we can go to Tucson. I'm planning to cook as many of his favorite foods as I can or at least go to all our favorite places in T-town. 1 week is not enough time! Yarg!

Also - I want to introduce Dad to Rock Band. I think it'd be something he could get addicted to (like Duke Nukem) that is also popular with the college crowd. If I ever had to own a PS3 and game, that would be it. Lord knows that today's Tom Sawyer gets high on you...
