ou es edward?

Je suis a Minneapolis/st. paul!

I got laid over until tomorrow afternoon (330pm, a delay of almost a day... 17 hours) But luckily I for some reason was inspired to ask a priest I know and saw last weekend for his number and etc. just in case I ended up stuck in MSP... so I'll see him tomorrow and we'll pray and hang out! Turns out that he's free tomorrow because of a cancelled wedding (due to paper work)... crazy... I wonder why God wanted me to see him and for him to see me this weekend?

Cause I really dont think I would have asked for his info unless it had been an inspired thing from the big H.S.

also because of the layover I got a hotel room and 18$ in food vouchers (currently waiting on a cheese pizza and a six pack of sprite to be delivered)... crazy... funny thing is that the gate person was shocked that we got rooms, since the delay was weather related and not mechanical... apparently they pretty close to never give free stuff away due to "acts of God"... but I tend to think them giving free stuff away was an "act of God"! Praise His Holy Name!

P.s., something really exciting might be happening to my paintings... we'll see what turns and I'll tell you when it's prudent!

paintings...

so here are the next four paintings... I did them last week :-) They all go together, and I think they actually look better when displayed together... and in person. My teacher really didn't like them.

free music...

if you want a free download, you can have it (first come first served):
go to: www.gotdownloads.com/sodexho
and use code: fCwzfdMwN

I checked out the music they have and i'm really not interested...

And I hope to post something more about my weekend soon... but it was FANTASTIC!

Pistachios and Pineapple soda

(aka, my dinner)

SO I just spent several hours, setting stretchers, stretching, preping and gessoing four canvases...



One thing I'm learning about painting, is that you can't just PAINT, you've got to have prepared canvases... which is a shame, but also a great lesson in patience... I've had an idea for a series of four paintings since saturday... I'm really really excited to start painting them... they've been running in my head for quite awhile... And I'm not gonna tell you what they are yet...

Also I worked on my other painting a bit... and it might be done... not sure... but I think so.

:-)

This weekend was amazing, my friends and I went on this Ignatian spirituality retreat, which was OUTSTANDING... I was a bit "well okay might as well" when I decided to go, but it was perhaps the single best seminar/retreat I've ever been to.

After the seminar on Saturday, several of us went to dinner, then to drinks at Grand central (we were waiting on a few more friends to catch up), and then to a party...

It was a fantastic night. :-) And I got to hangout more with Michelle.

Surgery

So Yes I KNOW I haven't finished posting from my trip... I'll get to it soon... but school has started and I'm running... though I expect soon to be hitting my stride.

Today, I got the screwdriver set I ordered the other day when I discovered the cost of replacing my cell phone (425$)... so. With my surgical instruments on hand and the internet giving me vague instructions on my cell phone's internal workings, I operated...




The first operation was a grand success allowing me to now use the P, backspace and enter Keys that had been so annoying to work without. But I was unable to get the second menu button (on my screen) to work... And during the first operation, I accidentally caused a slight internal injury that I had to fix...

While the surgeons were debating "going back in," they went to painting class and worked on their first painting... (36x30 inches) which as of yet is unfinished, but here is the progress (the photo colours are a bit off)...


After clearing their heads, the second operation was debated more and finally agreed amongst the surgeons as the best path.

Dinner was ordered in (and delivered to the computer room in the backyard of the hostel)


And surgery quickly followed...

So the second operation has just been completed... the internal injury was fixed, though the Screen button still does not work... I guess I'll have to break it to my cell phone that she's a cripple for life. :-\

Uhm well...

So I've changed my page back to what its supposed to look like (finally) but I've got a few things I need to fix (colour issues). and The Friends list is still old... so I've lost alot of those I used to have before this thing crashed... sorry guys! Send me your addy again. :-)

But I did add my other blogs on the side, my friends blogs on the side, and changed the background images and colours..
