Well it's been a little over a week since I last posted, I'm sorry for the delay but things have been crazy around here this week. But I have learned quite a few things, like did you know that there are 100 words that mean kidnap in the English language? No. Me either. Lately I've been having my allergies kick me in the pants and I really have been dragging my feet... It kind of stinks. Like when the seasons change and that large shift from winter to spring makes you want to just be outside walking and picnicking and it stinks when you have no partner in crime for those activities. But there are a few things I love this week. The Smallville Series finale, The Dark Knight Rises, my ceramics 2 project..... and things I hate this week, career hunting, cover letters, sunshine, brushfires, doing dishes.....

The Smallville series, which is one of my favorites, is coming to an end this May. While this is disappointing, because I would have loved to see them cast in the new film, which they aren't, but while disappointing it is also good, they chose to do Superman and the decade they've put into this show and end it right. They are bringing back Lex Luthor, whom they cut out of the story so to say a few seasons back. We will also see the return of Johnathon and Martha Kent and Chloe, if you are a series fan this news should please you as it will return full circle to the shows origins.

I am freaktastically pumped about the Dark Knight Rises, not only because it is one of the best Batman series ever or because of how utterly gorgeous Christian Bale is. Christopher Nolan is a genius. Really this movie has so many things to be excited and I cannot wait to see it. But even more than seeing the film I am excited to watch it be made in my hometown of Pittsburgh. Can we say dream job?! While I have no delusions of grandeur, it never hurts to try because the worst anyone can say is we have already filled that position. Which kind of links me to things I hate because cover letters and resumes are just so time consuming and tedious!!! ARGHHHHHH! Please send good karma this way if you can!

I am sooooo proud of my ceramics 2 project, a 3ft gnome! I built it by hand and named it Aaron. Aaron was my best friend and he used to comendear gnomes for me and now everyone buys me gnomes for gifts and  I have quite the large collection. Recently my best friend, Aaron, passed away quite suddenly and now I'm only left with the memories and the gnome legacy he left me. I had planned to get a tattoo of a gnome in his memory and I still may but I was sitting in Ceramics, not desiring to work, and four weeks ago I embarked on this project and he turned out just the way I imagined him. He even has this little bit of Aaron tucked in him... I think Aaron would be impressed and pleased with how he turned out.

I hateeee brushfires and sunshine. I go to school in Oklahoma. It's sunny here, EVERY day! I couldn't tell you the last time we had cloudy weather or that it rained even. But it has been over 100 already this year. and it's windy and to top it all of these combined can create brush fires which spread rapidly and are very very hard to contain. This is kind of scary. No jokes.....
