There’s something very Jennifer Government about the way universities can sign up multiple students with the same last name attached to their RL first name. Jenny Fielding gives me the creeps, but probably only because of that book.
I received an issue of JPG Magazine this weekend, and it made me want to take photos again. There are three themes open now, and in an effort to encourage myself to take more photos I’ve submitted to all three. Getting the photos published is determined by popular vote, so please (feel free to) visit and cast a nod if you enjoy my work:
Breakthrough, revolution:
Beauty redefined:
Entropy, things fall apart:
That all of the photos I submitted were taken while outside of Juneau also encouraged me to order a new lens that takes better low-light photos. And in response to that, I’ve gathered up a bunch of equipment to sell. Dominoes. Magazine = art submission = art evalutaion = equipment upgrade = clearing space.
I’m noticing people eating a lot in tv shows. Not sitting around a table having a meal, but eating while doing other things. Talking, working, walking, waiting, driving. I’m also noticing it mostly with women, but I’m not sure if that’s the shows I’m watching, social training to notice women eating or not eating, or that the writers/directors are intentionally focusing on women eating. From there I’m wondering if it’s a good thing, promoting healthy eating and images of women eating to counter eating disorders, or just a reflection of a national eating habit bordering on disorder itself.
It’s been a while since I wrote anything here. I was on vacation for a couple weeks, but that doesn’t excuse the two month lapse. I did post a paper in December, but am now reworking parts of it so it’s down for the moment.
Things that have been progressing: I’ve signed on as the associate editor for an APA newsletter. Started on my last two classes for the PhD requirements. I’m excited. Decided to sell the house and move to the Lower 48 for a reintroduction to the outside world. I’ll probably take this summer off from classes to fascilitate the move. And to make sure I get another burst of enthusiasm before diving into my dissertation. Before then I need to finish up the comprehensives.
but ... back to work. someone’s got to pay for all this education.
