The next Mutation
My very last Mutation (for reals this time). Saturday October 7th, 2006. At a new location in the downtown area (about 20 blocks away from the old one), meaning a better crowd.
More details to come soon :D

Los Cangris
So finally here it is, my little project of fuzziness and ridiculous amounts of love and platinum. It is titled, Los Cangris and it features a whimsical cast from a turn-of-the-century circus travelling act. Yes, these are all my toys, but they have all taken alternate identities for the sake of this project. Each one has it own little story that will be further developed this Summer quarter in my Personal Vision 2 class. Settings and silly situations shot in studio will also be added.
I'm really excited about this (finally!), but my toy collection is all you see here. I want to feature more handmade little creatures, but I would require your assitance in this. Anyone willing to donate or provide me a discount on one of your creations, will receive countless of free prints and all sorts of stuff (and of course you are free to use the photos in an of your promotional material). Many of you make the cutest, craziest thing and I would loooooove to include them in my project (I take very good care of my stuff!!).

ROMPE ROMPE ROMPE
BIEN GUILLAO!!
Fuck it, I'm gonna have to surrender my smugness and give in to reggaeton. I tried and tried to stop it spreading throughout the world. But every where I go, there's freakin' Daddy Yankee, spreading his intoxicating gasolina on every damn ghetto hive he can infiltrate. Heck, my white ass manager has Gasolina in his iTunes. WTF.
Fight it as I might, I can't help dancing to that shit, man. I tells ya.
'Cause that's how we Ruff Ryders roll. (Okay now I'm listening to the DMX... yeah what the heck happened to Radiohead and U2, AMY?!?!)

Yeah... been out of it..
Due to graduations, pain-inducing finals, family visits, moving, strenuous work, not having my computer with me for five days and all sorts of distractions (like Television and intriguing Star Wars novels) my Internet time for the past two weeks has suffered a dramatic drop, resulting in me being totally lost in y'alls lives.
So I shall take the time to list a few things that have been going on in my life, and then you share yours, and therefore I won't spend as much time going through the 3298294820 blogs in my bookmarks. And then we'll all be happy and I can resume my daily reading of all your awesome fun blogs, m'kay?
01) Just moved into a new apartment for the Summer, and IT BLOODY ROCKS. Unfortunately, it's someone else's room, because I'm subletting (or rather, they are). But that's good, 'cause it means I get to enjoy a 30 inch television right across from my Queen sized bed every single day! I've never had a TV in my room. I have watched all the TV I haven't in the past 4 years. Like, WOW History Channel and campy MTV movies starring Ciara. Simply WOW.
02) Apparently, and for reasons completely unknown to me, I rock at Lady and Sons, and after three months of slaving working the Deen Camp I got a dollar raise and it MONSTER ROCKS. Also, I discovered the sweet hypnotizing tastes of the chocolate mousse pie, ohh la laa. The tiny little thing costs $5 bucks, but shit is good.
03) Actually that's pretty much it... lol.
04) My cool friend Eryka and I are planning a toy exhibition sometime early Fall before I leave for NYC (October) and pretty soon I will be posting a Call for Critters. I know many of you make some creative plushies, softies, whatevers that I would LOVE to have at the show. More details soon!
05) A few days before graduation, I got my hair done because I just couldn't stand the massacre my mother made on my hair a few months before. Now, it's perfectly layered and colored, and I'm embracing its natural curls and they actually look decent!
06) Finished reading Star Wars: Betrayal. That was good. Jacen needs to revisit Revenge of the Sith. When a Sith tells you he gon' give you some "magic" powers to improve the crumbling state of the Galactic Alliance...honey, they ain't good! It will only drive you to the Dark Side, ruin your entire life, your family's, the entire Jedi Order and my sex life, beause seriously, I need to leave the Galaxy Far Far Away and get me some action! SW won't give me none. lol
So, what's shakin' in your life!

The Empress' new clothes
Because my body is begging for constant sleep and rest, graduation pictures will come in very very slowly. Perhaps one a day. Today I would like to show y'all my flamboyantly awesome dress worn to the ceremonies. If you recall, my goal was to buy a dress from Forver21.com but when the time came to purchase it, it was out of stock. But luckily I found it here at the mall (a miracle in itself) and I believe I might have let out a short scream of excitement as I entered Gadzooks and saw the dress. Sources say I jumped as well.
By the time this picture was taken I was dead tired, hence why I'm wearing old flip flops instead of my ridiculously expensive but oh so lovely kitty heel shoes.
So that's it for today!

Nurture your inner madness
Well, not quite. This Summer will be my last quarter...AND THEN I'M DONE, BITCHES!! My mami, auntie and brother were all here, lots of fun was had and I am exhausted as heck.
But more pictures, including my class shoots, later this week when I'm done packing. If I ever get to detach from this dang computer.

Resolution of Brightness
I won't elaborate on it because right now there'e one last project that needs to be finished for class, but I am, once again, SO IN LOVE WITH PHOTOGRAPHY. All the panic and tears I went through this quarter were not in vain. My resolution is stronger than ever, and I believe, so are my skills. The way my work is progressing has lead me to think that I will favor the fine Art route instead of the commercial. I am more happy with myself when I produce all these conceptual and silly shoots. Both my main critiques went rather well, and I am very proud of the work displayed.
So yeah. I'm happy.
My brother arrives today and my mami and my aunt will be here tomorrow.
And on Saturday...SHOWTIME, BITCHES!!!
(It won't be till Sunday or Monday when y'all get to see all the pictures. Will be so busy these next few days with family and graduation and LOTS OF EATING! Because God knows, five milano double chocolate cookies, Haagen Dasz coffee ice cream and a banana DOES NOT equal a full dinner.)
