took a fairly long and involved quiz... i'm a peach, what are you? 
The Peach
Random Gentle Love Master (RGLMf)
Playful, kind, and well-loved, you are The Peach.
For such a warm-hearted, generous person, you're surprisingly experienced in both love and sex. We credit your spontaneous side; you tend to live in the moment, and you don't get bogged down by inhibitions like most women your age. If you see something wonderful, you confidently embrace it.
You are a fun flirt and an instant sweetheart, but our guess is you're becoming more selective about long-term love. It's getting tougher for you to become permanently attached; and a guy who's in a different place emotionally might misunderstand your early enthusiasm. You can wreck someone simply by enjoying him.
Your ideal mate is adventurous and giving, like you. But not overly intense.

and as for the day:
i was surprised just how much my art class got under my skin this morning. was sitting at work at darden, doing flash stuff, and realized i was replaying stuff heatedly in my mind. and i said to myself, "hm." what it is, well - it angers me that the most controversial thing that's come up in our art class so far is this one frat boy, otis, and his collage of scantily clad women and beer advertisements with a smattering of uva pride. sure, it's shallow, and sure, it's demeaning to women, and sure it's the same stuff that the media plasters all over, the stuff we see a dozen times daily. but after we've seen so many other people's collages all making the same, tired revelation: "i have both an outer and an inner side! there is more to me than what you see at first glance!" it simply infuriated me to see people bashing this guy for not digging deeper. an endorsement of the status quo should not be the most controversial thing we all can come up with to talk about! these people all make their collages that cost them nothing and hold no risk whatsoever - even otis has stumbled into public censure merely by accident - and it seems to me that they have nothing they feel strongly enough about to come out and say. not in their art, and not in class. even with otis' work, at first, people said polite nothings until the teacher's incredulity became apparent and then they were all over it. we're artists! we gotta be different! and now everyone, including the teacher, is giving otis suggestions on ways to "correct" his piece. if otis' collage had been about any other controversial topic, they wouldn't have dared, and these corrections would be seen for the direct intrusions they are. i'm shocked at just how openly they're telling him to realign himself with their views. but since it's the status quo and prevailing societal norms that we're looking at here, it's just fine. it's the kind of hypocrisy that makes things ring emptily inside. i'm not all about otis' collage, i think it's shallow too, but it's not any more shallow than the collages of those who set out to make something "metaphorical" because they felt that that was what artists are supposed to do. just piss me off, people.
and if we could even have a decent conversation about it without everybody lining up behind the teacher to take turns telling otis how to dig deeper and stop objectifying women... they call it "shallow," they call the models "unnatural," and they won't pause to consider why artists can't ever be shallow, why there's such a stigma, why people in art feel compelled to try and be deep even when their attempts to do so come out as unnatural as the breasts of those magazine cut out girls. and why do women have to be natural? it made me think of sg - all the piercings and hair dye. that's not natural either. one might say such body modifications speak of a sense of ownership rather than commercialization and commodification, but that wasn't even an issue that could come up in this classroom. it seemed like everybody already knew how artists are supposed to be, what the rules were.
i think that's part of what's been driving me when i keep picking at art people to see where their boundaries and loyalties lie. because i think movies are art, video games and comic books are art, pop up books are so very much art, and art is growing beyond its non-functional status and taking root in the design of cars and coffeepots and computers...
sure, there's gotta be something of a division between art and design, but people still piss me off for thinking that piping up with "hey! i'm probably not quite as you might expect me to be!" is deep. stop trying to be disarmingly unique and work up the guts to say something already.
in the end i just wish people would be honest. is okay to be uninspired, but i don't want to be told that there's a way to bare one's soul by the numbers.

i was looking for killing music... like violent killing music since i had v. brill idea for video.. until i realized that my music is pansy-ish and it is very difficult to film a killing sequence when you are all the actors as well as the cameraman, lighting crew, and director, etc. it was going to work out.. until i realized it wouldn't. sigh. i hate putting much effort into something when i know it will turn out to be crap. blah. and there is no one here even worth attempting to collaborate with.. these people are dead!
argh...
are you going to bella morte this friday?
