cake or death?

Mr. Shrigley, thank you for expressing that which i could not. which is to say that I am not living up to my academic or human potential and am seriously thinking about jumping the next ferry to Nova Scotia... not because these tests are crazy arduous or stressful, it can be sort of fun to sum up a couple of months into the form of a study guide... but at this very minute all I want to do is go somewhere I can buy souvenirs. This 4 hour final jeopardy session is cramping my style and I seem to be doing everything in my power to set myself up for failure ... a little psychoanalytical perhaps? Probably, but it's more fun than just calling myself lazy.

cheers.

art is awesome.

Around two weeks ago I emailed one of my favorite artists, david shrigley, he was doing a poster project and asked people to send in an email giving him an idea of what to put on the posters.

I sent in an email.

and I got one back...

you are reading one of the most amazing things that's happened in a while, I got positively giddy.

this is what I wrote to him:
