For lack of something to do (except for homework, but that doesn't count), I was browsing DA, when I noticed that I hadn't updated my journal for exactly two months.
This is a crisis.
Not to mention I haven't drawn/written anything for two months either.
However, I am embarking on a new art project soon. It is called Cheap College Student Art.

After I moved into my apartment, I discovered two problems with my room: one, that its walls were a uniform and appallingly dull white, and two, that it was littered with so many cardboard boxes that I couldn't walk to the other side without stepping on one, slipping, and cracking my head open. The boxes sat around and served as trash cans for a few months, but then I decided that I liked having a whole skull and a functioning brain.

What does one do with cardboard boxes? I wondered.
Throw them out, of course, I answered.
That's so un-green! I protested. Put them in the recycling.
Yes, that's a good idea, I concluded.

So I cart all the boxes down to the recycling bin...and thought: Wait a minute, I can use these....

Half an hour later, I held a pair of scissors in my aching hands triumphantly. Before me lay eight perfectly acceptable and completely free canvases. Canvases made of cardboard.

So, hopefully I'll catch up on my actual school work and find some time to paint/draw with Sharpie on my new canvases, and possibly solve Problem #1: Boring Decor. The art is going to be a bit rough---only one canvas is white cardboard---but we'll see how it looks.

In other news, I'm reading Dracula, the father of vampire literature to Twilight's pathetic whining mentally retarded great-grandchild. Van Helsing is an amazing man, kinda reminds me of the Doctor in the way he solves all the problems by doing something highly complicated and beyond the other characters' comprehension. I'm not sure yet which doctrine of vampire stories Stoker believes in; a woman has been bitten but it's not clear yet if she's going to die, become a zombie/mindless vampire minion, or a vampire. NO SPOILERS PLEASE.
