just for the sake of posting

there was a minimal amount of school work done this weekend. i wanted to read half of the book for the book review due after thanksgiving - i got halfway through chapter one. to be fair, there was a preface, and an introduction. i got some reading done for my first class after thanksgiving. i only have ten more pages of that left to read. the thing that's looming over my head is that damn research paper. i want it to be interesting and good, but i can not motivate myself to get it written.

i cleaned the house some and did laundry this weekend. it was very needed.

still in my rental car. the chevy aveo. check it out:

excecpt mine's black and there's no backdrop that beautiful in waco. ah, waco.

this morning i was cursing waco when i drove to pick up my friend pete to take him to school. at a four-way stop sign, the car that stopped after me didn't even pause to let me pass. it kept going, getting as close to me as possible and speeding up as soon as i cleared the path. waiting at the door for my friend (he apparantly woke up when i knocked on the door), i could smell marijuana coming from behind the stairs. i saw a man walk by. it wasn't even 8AM yet. i guess that kind of stuff happens in every town, i was just upset that it was happening behind my friend's apartment.

i don't know if i've told you about my latest obsession. i want to learn to airbrush. my friend fernando has been teaching me some about it. in fact, if you spoke with me about airbrushes: bottle feed, siphon feed, gravity feed, dual-action, needles, air compressors, etc., i'd be able to contribute some knowledge to the conversation. just don't ask me to paint anything yet. i'm supposed to experiment some with his airbrush, but i haven't had time. another drawback: it's a very expensive hobby. i should probably just stick to my canvasses and acrylics. but maybe one day, i'll be looking very cool, holding one of these in my hands at a flea market:
