magazine project over!

we had our presentations yesterday, and all three groups did pretty awesome. fuck, am i ever glad that's over.

my designs got the least criticism -- surprising, considering i was really the only art director of the three groups that wasn't a 'designer.' one of the panel members said that our magazine proposals were 'among the best he had ever seen,' which i thought was lip service, but apparently last year, the groups put out dave, a magazine for the regular and not terribly good-looking 'dave' who just liked to drink beer and hang out with his friends; boys only, a magazine for the 'reluctant reader' in the 9 to 12 male demographic; and goal, a magazine for parents of children who played sports -- essentially for soccer moms.

yeah.

so our magazines don't seem like that much of a stretch. they could actually be real titles.

after the presentation, we hung out and had brie in the lounge. KS and i played guitar and people drank a lot of free liquor. a bunch of us went out, intending on going to subeez, but it was packed. we ended up at honey, a pub i'd never been to before, but it was great: booths with large plush velvet cushions, music from the 60s, a wall onto which they projected some russ meyer-esque film with russian subtitles...food was consumed, drinks were imbibed and dancing was done.

good times.

i'm tempted to take a pause, but i have some severe catching up to do...a mountain of editing work, physics journal crap, my technology presentation i have to give this wednesday, my technology paper, my history paper...

and although i did the laundry last weekend, it's been sitting in a massive (but clean) heap on my bedroom floor, remaining unfolded and getting permanently wrinkled.

oh yeah: my internship plans with MOMENTUM fell through last night. i don't really know what i'm doing this summer.

excellent, as they say.
