the very third blog

sup yall.  this will be a short blog.  i only blog because i am required to blog.  i am required to blog because i must blog on mondays.  i must blog on mondays because if i do not blog on mondays i will forget to blog and will receive an F in this course.  if i receive an F in this course i will be sad.  therefore, i only blog to keep me happy.

(pause.... need music)

(there.  that's better)

a form of art is music, no?  right now i'm listening to my favorite band, a small group of extremely talented fellows right out of new york city.  they originally hail from australia though, two brothers:  isaac and thorald koren.... not to mention shakerleg, the drummer.  the band is the kin... and they grabbed my heart when i first heard this song (see first link below) a year ago.  since then i've been to two concerts.  one was at a small coffee joint in ashland, va.  it was tiny.... isaac walked into the coffee shop while i was sitting there waiting for the band to arrive just like a normal person and i flipped out when he came over to shake my hand, seemingly as happy to see me as i was to see him.  i saw them again at rockwood music hall, new york city, where they had reserved a special table for me and my party.... just cause i told them i was coming:)  ah.... music certainly soothes the soul doesn't it?  the brothers have been singing together forever, they took their musical talent from their mama, who i met at the rockwood concert and who ACTUALLY said "good on ya mate" which i thought very a very australian thing to say.

alright, well, i am going to call these guys my third artist.   and the reason for that in the week since my last post i have:
planned an art camp for 7-12 year olds
executed that art camp which includes, cleaning, drawing, teaching how to draw faces, still life, collage techniques, keeping kids attentions, teaching terms like contour and shading, painting a wall mural, doing tons of tee-shirts, taking part in the biggest paint fight i've ever seen, scrubbing paint off kids, scrubbing paint off me, and MUCH more....
spending hours and hours at the reston art festival getting inspired for senior sem
planning a bachelorette party for my best friend
executing that bachelorette party which includes... noneofyourbusiness.... ;)
spending hours at a wedding rehearsal
spending hours at rehearsal dinner
spending hours driving to all those places
and starting my new nanny job....

HOWEVER.

if professor mister sir skees says they don't count as a legitimate artist in my list of 50.....
i will do TWO artist for my next blog.  cross my heart.

i'll post a picture of me and my paint splattered kids when i find my camera cord....

sincerely,
exhausted

ps:  check out this band for real.  you don't have to love them... you just have to like them more than all the other bands..... (wink)

pss:  this blog wasn't that short.....
