I shall scratch my own eyes out

Guys I'm going crazy, I think.

I'm in public relations class at the moment and it's pretty dull. (And by "pretty dull" I mean I'm ready to repeatedly smash my face on this desk). 

I'm really not all that interested in media releases and things. Oh who am I kidding. For some reason I'm damn good at public relations, even though it bores me. Whoda thunk, I'm good with people? 

I'm really frustrated, for a number of reasons. Beyond public relations and searching for an internship, I'm struggling hard with pain. I had this moment where my pain was really, really bad (it's been bothering me more than usual for the past few days) and I was like, I really want to make a doctor's appointment. But who am I kidding. I already have an ultrasound and a depot booked. Why should I bother with another appointment? They can't make it better, so...... DRUGS AND VIDEO GAMES IS THE SOLUTION. Seriously, that's what it's come to. 

drugs. and video games. 

F yeah health care, right? 

Anyways. 

I've been enjoying the new Donkey Kong game lately. It's pretty awesome, and I recommend it. See, I bought my beloved a Wii U game console and some games for his birthday. Of course he loves his present so we've been accumulating lots of games and keeping entertained. Really, this Wii U thing is a fucking blast. We use it for Netflix (SO MUCH TRAILER PARK BOYS OMG) and of course our games. Donkey Kong is hard but I've been loving it. My boyfriend even calls me Cranky [Kong]. 

These grouchy owls are my favorite part of the game.

It's been a long day and I am stuck in yet another boring class. My friend is currently talking at 100 miles an hour while drinking coffee. I wish I could share this sight with you, he's a mess.

This afternoon our Opinion Writing instructor had a guest speaker come in, a political cartoonist. Very interesting, this guy has some good work. It got me thinking about artwork, and how much I miss producing it! When I was in High School, I was super into art and I made lots of digital paintings. I used a bamboo tablet and photoshop elements to do my art. Oh, good times. 

I painted my own Christmas cards one year

I like drawing horses. Horses are the best.

A tapir (he has a balloon tied to his nose).

Anyways, this cartoonist. He was brought in so early as my instructor's response to the Charlie Hebdo incident in Paris, France. (Rest in peace. Je suis Charlie). It was interesting what this man, Wyatt Tremble, had to say in regards to his job. He said that political cartoons aren't fair. They're taking an politician's shortcomings and mocking them, blowing them out of proportion. He said it is amazing that his work sparks emotion and debate in a number of people. And it's true, these images do spark emotion and debate. And, unfortunately, shootings. Because that's how Islam deals with things that offend them. cough. I digress. 

The closest I'll ever get to a political cartoon.

Everyone, take some time to do some art. Even you boys! Draw something, it's fun, and it feels good. ;)
Take care!
