TASP 2003 at UT Austin: The Mystery of Creativity



reasonably remarkable



Tuesday, August 12, 2003
ugh no wonder! I just got an email from Dr. Randall asking for my final project and my heart stopped because the night before I presented I'd stayed up till 6:30 (with Matthew) watching Amadeus and finishing the illustrations, and I don't even remember enough of what the illustrations looked like to redo them.

Today at school I slept through three of my four classes, but nevertheless I met Vicky (my counselor) and told her about my almost-purple hair. I'm actually nodding off as I type...

I have no idea who Vilma Santos is. From what Danny the hairdresser said I'm guessing she's a celebrity here - an icon of Filipino pop culture I do not keep up with at all.

For some reason some of the posts that are up under the manage posts heading are not actually posting on the actual blog itself - hopefully that would get fixed. I've put up all the pictures I have on the geocities webpage. There are 48 in all not counting the 19 I lost very, very stupidly on one of the once and future days - including mugshots of you guys sleeping on the bus to Winedale, and my favorite, the Matthew series! Because I had to upload them quickly the resolution is extremely poor; just email me if you want copies and I'll mail you developed copies (because developed and printed photos are so much prettier).
