Didn't get Reebok.
Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

What a terrible fucking day
Turns out Nike was here without the intention of hiring anyone. $60 and 4 hours of portfolio making down the drain.
Awesome
Pretty sure I'm going to get a bad grade on my paper for music class. It was well written but completely off topic, and I thought I caught a disapproving remark in my professors' whisperings.
Awesome
Up until 4:30 doing foundations level bullshit for Design Communications. As awesome as Des Comm was in the fall, this quarter is the complete opposite. At this point I am completely apathetic toward it (a viewpoint shared by many of my classmates) and my work in all of my classes is suffering as a direct result.

Star Wars design and why it rocks
Stumbled upon this fantastic article about the design merits of the original Star Wars films. It's quick and to the point but easily gets its point accros.
Simpsons QOD
A woman is a lot like a refrigerator. Six feet tall, three hundred pounds...it makes ice.

Chairs and crazy guys
In addition to the portfolio, the past two weeks have been dedicated to drawing chairs and fixing up my character project.
Chairs - I'm doing some kind of bent plywood stool...Sketches were done digitally, and I'm very happy with the outcome. I will go back and render those picked to move on, but probably not until the next portfolio
Reworked Sketches - not nearly as good as they need to be, but they're improving
Final Rendering - 90% inked - hopefully I'll have time to go in and actually render this to presentation quality

12 Angry Men and personal tests of will power
I watched 12 Angry Men this morning, loving every second of it. At first glance it seems to be a rather simple story of justice, but if you look deeper you can see that it's really about the power wit and intellect can have over reason.
In the past, I used to give myself what I called "personal tests of will power." Take stairs two at a time, never loosen your tie, read something you don't understand, etc. Some have stuck around as personal habits, but after a while I began to forget about the little ones. Lately, however, I've gotten back to testing myself, mostly through school work. Henry Fonda's character seems to be doing something similar. The kid is guilty as hell, and he knows it. He also knows how he can talk. He walked into the deliberation room having taken it as a personal challenge to sway the jury in the opposite direction, and you can see the self-satisfaction on his face each time a member of the jury switches his vote.
While Fonda's "accomplishment" is impressive, it is not commendable. He has convinced 11 other men to let a murderer walk free. It's just interesting to see how similar my acts of self-improvement are to Fonda's slight of hand.
