We are doing a video thing.
I don't want to go into too much detail about that...
But let it be said that I am realizing a couple shots I wish I had gotten.
Oh well, if it's too late, it's too late. We'll see!!

I wish that Film Festival thing had happened last weekend. That was a shame.
I wonder if it is happening this weekend and we're just not going.

I am listening to They Might Be Giants...
...that's what came up on random
"Why Must I Be Sad?"
From the album "John Henry"
A very great They Might Be Giants album.
I feel kind of bummed that I haven't been using the garage.
There are two very obvious reasons for that though.
1) I haven't been home almost at all in the last couple weeks.
2) It is friggin' COLD now and I haven't tackled that issue yet.
My room is still looking tidier though.
I think I am going to write a letter to Bob Dorough before I go to bed.
MORE LATER

Possibly the last blog on the topc of garage?
Here is the description/conclusion of my project:
My problem for this project was narrowed down to two related ideas. I was frustrated because I have trouble turning things I want to do into things I have to do, and I worried that I wasn’t doing enough artistic and musical things. I felt disorganized, and although I had plenty of time and space on my hands, I wasn’t using it in a way that would maximize my artistic output! I want to make music and take pictures and draw and DO things with my life.
I eventually decided to take advantage of some unused space out in my garage and make it livable for my purposes. I put a forlorn table back together. I moved my collection of papers and drawings out there. I stacked all the board games and puzzles neatly on the pre-made shelves and I made sure the space in the rubbermaids was being utilized.
I decided to get a bulletin board for one blank ugly wall, and I ended up making the whole thing, surrounding a (pre-owned but out of use) white board with boards for tacking stuff into. The whole thing looked very handsome once I had it put together, and I plan to continue tacking stuff up there as I see fit.
It's a work in progress, but I think I achieved my goal in really formulating a space, and an organization, that I understand and will continue to use and improve on. I feel good about it, and I feel like I can now count it among spaces that I use.
Throughout this project, and also in the documentation music video I put on youtube, I want to remind people, hey:
Maybe you have something in your life that you’re not taking advantage of.
In doing this project, I took advantage of two things:
1) The unused space in the garage, and
2) The open-ended nature of this design problem assignment.
In the ends, my needs were met. I feel happy and comfortable, and I feel like I acheived something. My bedroom looks better because of the changes made in the garage, and the garage looks better because of the changes made in it. Just using what was available to me, and making that bulletin board a reality, I have made this progress.
I am very privileged, I know, to have so much space in my house, and to be in college and have opportunities for inspiration, but even if a person’s circumstances are different, there is always something that eludes us, something that we haven't though of, that we can put to good use and improve our quality of life with! This stuff is all around us, it is the fabric of our existence, and we just need to remember that we have the power to access it.
AND
Here is the video.

Please please please watch it, cause it's much cuter with the music!
I didn't use it with music in class.
Good times.
