That 70s Post

I spent yesterday (Saturday) evening caring for the wigs I've accumulated over the years, and then I put them onto styrofoam heads. After some boredom, I started playing with the heads by adding some of my many pairs of glasses and other accessories. Figured that each day for 4 or 5 days I could post a photo of one of the heads, but naturally I didn't get to editing yesterday's photo until today.

During the process, I was getting frustrated with how boring the photos were, so I started clicking on random things. One of them was this crazy rainbow gradient map I'd made for a previous photo of the day, and it was such an insane but awesome look that I absolutely HAD to keep it. In fact, I had to use it for today's photo too. Here's the result.

Today, my first meeting with the Scarlette|Grey Team (Ohio State's fashion organization). Tomorrow, interview at WalMart's photo center. Now, bedtime since it's 2:14 in the morning. Goodnight!

What Would Apulu Do?

Evidently, Apulu would stand there contemplatively. Forever.

Losing Track

It's been something like a week now, and I've lost track of what photos were taken on what days (and since there are a TON of them, I'm not going to bother trying to find out), so I'm just going to throw a bunch of photos from this week at you. LOL Sorry guys! Today's photo(s) will not be included in this post because there is still half a chance I will get to go to the beach with my aunt and cousins.

On another note, I'm in Indiana with most of my loved ones. Having a blast despite the pain that comes with it! :D

Broken Over Break

Well hello there, my good fellows! I've missed you guys! I am officially on Summer Break now, so let me tell you about how Finals Week went.

Monday:
What a crabby day that was. I was feeling sick and had an advising appointment in a city almost 2 hours away. We drove all the way there, got to my appointment right on time (2 o'clock), and I still had to wait to see my advisor FOR TWO HOURS. And then my appointment lasted all of five minutes. On the plus side, I found out I could be graduating in one school year. Of course, a few days ago I realized I still will not because of issues of where we will be living and how few people I could intern for in this area, but it was nice to know I COULD HAVE been graduating in just one year.

That day, I took a photo of a student's feet. He was wearing the rattiest Chuck Taylors I ever saw, and he crossed his ankles so pleasantly that it amused me. I really liked all the writing and pictures on his shoes as well. But that photo is one of maaaany that have disappeared from my stupid, messed up SD card. :( On the bright side, I wasn't really happy with the way the photo turned out anyway. It was rather dark.

Tuesday:
The day of my Drawing final. It was a bittersweet day. I got an A+ in the class (YAY), but I also had to say goodbye to the one professor I've had almost every quarter that I've been at this school. She and her husband-- also one of my favorite professors-- have retired and are moving on to California. That day I simply took photos of a few of the drawings from that class. Again, the photos are missing thanks to the SD card. >.<

Wednesday:
Took my Art History 213 final exam early in the morning, and I'm fairly certain I aced it, so I have a solid A in that class. Took a photo of the school's pet turtle, Kruizer, in his little pink kiddie pool outside. Yet another photo that's gone missing. That's the day I realized my photos were starting to disappear, and I bought a new SD card. Didn't take any more photos for that day, however, as I realized that my Art History 211 final essay was due the next night instead of on Friday. Can we say "PANIC!"? lol

Thursday:
Spent almost the entire day working on that final essay, with the exception of a 2-hour-long break to eat and take photos. As we rode by an awesome building with a ton of abandoned vintage vehicles out back, Grandpa decided to let me stop and take a bunch of pics. Here is where you can finally see some PICTURES. lol

I'd LOVE to add a texture to this

Totally makes me think of a grumpy old man

How to Park Your Car

Objects in Mirror are Larger Than They Appear

Friday:

Slept in after a long day of essay-writing. For dinner, we went to a little bar down the way that was once very popular and has recently reopened. I have to say, I was extremely impressed by their perch. Now if only I knew what that place was called... LOL

Southern Comfort

Today (Saturday):

Spent the day running around, and then Grandpa took us to yet another bar to have dinner. This one was a biker bar about half an hour away. Not as comfortable, but the food was decent! :) As you can tell, we don't eat at home much.

And now, I will end this gargantuan post with a couple blurry shots of things I found amusing at today's bar.

Just a week away

This week was the last week of classes, which I've probably mentioned plenty. It was surprisingly busy, but then the weekend hit and things just got surprisingly bad instead. In any case, pictures were taken and now they are to be posted.

Wednesday:
I attended an Honors Luncheon and then went to the sleep specialist to get a prescription for my narcolepsy. Spent that entire evening shopping for much-needed things we'd run out of, and pretty much just crashed once I got home. Snapped this photo as I rushed to the luncheon.

Barking up the wrong tree

Thursday:
Started my new medication and had my final drawing class that day, so I finished up any work I had left. Then went to yet another doctor's appointment and more shopping. Took this during a quick stint at home.

Friday:
My aunt Julie came to visit for the weekend. That day, our water heater exploded (just before she got here, too), but it didn't stop us from having a little fun.

All hail King Apulu Pulu!

Saturday:
Spent the day cleaning and then we went to one of our favorite restaurants. The minute we stepped out, a terrible thunderstorm began. Two of us gals were wearing white shirts... LOL  Anyhow, took this one during a break from cleaning. You know, when the weather SEEMED wonderful.

My fire pit.

This photo made me realize that if we were to ever have a draught and that fire ring got out of control, we'd be screwwwwed...

Finally, Sunday:
I couldn't sleep, so I hung out in my poolhouse until after 3 AM and sang my heart out like I typically do on nights like that. I was horrified to find a little present in my half-empty pool. (I apologize if you have a weak stomach.)

Needless to say, the pool that was already out of order is going to stay that way until it can be thoroughly scrubbed. -gag- Poor baby mouse.

On to finals week!

Step On It!

Okay, I'm in a strange mood today and no longer feel like making yet another stupid photo, so I stylized it. Eventually I'll edit the original photo correctly, but until then, this is what you can ponder over if you'd like. And here are a couple of "traditional" photos, if you're not a fan of today's freak of nature.

Finding the Time

It's been a crazy week! An amazing week. It couldn't have gone better. :D I have to thank Renee for bringing me and putting up with my constant in-and-out behavior. She was a doll.

I had at least one photoshoot pretty much every day while I was in Indiana. Between those and all the running around I was doing, there wasn't time to check my e-mails every day, let alone edit and post photos, so now that I'm home, I've spent the day working on a few. Here are my favorites for each day of the week, and then yesterday's quick "thank goodness I'm home" snapshot. I'll post today's shot later tonight. :)

Sunday:

Mr. J hamming it up

Monday:

Ms. M and Mr. P's little bundle of joy

Tuesday:

Wednesday:

Thursday:

The ever-gorgeous Khalila making me jealous with her beauty.

Mmmm, Chinese food awaited us when we got home!!! Thank you, Grandma.
