14

A number which represents the high temperature for Twin Falls today. A very cold ending to an interesting year. The past few days have been spent re-connecting with family over dinners and wine, a most beautiful wedding of a dear friend, and afternoons of movie watching. It's hard to believe that a year ago I was embarking on my grand Slovakian experience... It seems like a million years ago. Looking forward to what 2011 has in store for me, I'm betting my chips on a new state and a new job. Here's to adventures!!

This is one from the vault... I think I took this circa 2002?

Celebrating the "hat on tree" ceremony ala SCTV style

Happy Holidays ocular readers! I've finally made it back to Idaho for a festive (and much colder) change of scenery from Tucson. Things around my parents house are looking a lot like the Shmenge's and their Leutonian Christmas traditions. It's heaven.

insignia for the twin peaks cave... someday hoping to stumble upon this whilst walking tumamoc

 Now that the semester is officially over, I've been killing time until my departure back to Twin Falls. Much of this has been spent walking up tumamoc hill, indulging in hours and hours of yoga, and taking sunny morning bike rides. Enjoying the warm Tucson weather as much as I can until I'm submerged into the snowy white. In other non-earth shattering news, my piece for the upcoming photo show is printed, framed, and ready to hang, and I've heard back from Tsai Eve that the gallery in Taipei City received my work. All systems go.

i am out of interesting things to say

This has been quite possibly the most difficult semester of my two and a half years in grad school. I am very glad it's over. For the next four weeks it's ice cream time!!

Claude Cahun: Self Portrait 1911

As I prepare to finish the last art history paper I will ever have to write, ever again, in the history of my life, I can comfortably say that I am not sad. After six and a half years of studying art history, I have no qualms saying farewell to this practice for a while. Going out with a bang with Cladue Cahun (a.k.a.) my shero!

success!

\in-'stol\ was a huge success last night. A big thanks for everyone who came out to celebrate with us! We had a huge turnout for both spaces, and although it was a lot of work for a one night show, it was totally worth it. I've included a lot of images from the event (which I normally don't do) so enjoy!

A vision for my future: double barfs

Pix Pix and I were discussing what work we were thinking about putting up in an upcoming photo show in January... I think I'm gonna go with this? Desperately trying to properly manage my time before the end of the semester happens. Distracting myself at the library and going on frequent rage walks up Tumamok hill is not helping me achieve this.
