High Contrast Grey.

“Self-Portrait ca.2011” iron casting, acrylic. The semester has ended and I have left Missoula. Like when I left Seattle it was raining, but of course the weather is not dependent upon my moods. Billings has been like how Billings always is. At one point in my life I would like it that I will never have to end up back here. I am already trying to think up new places to run away to. Perhaps finish out university in Missoula, which should hopefully only take one more year after coming back from France, then grad school in New Orleans? I would think that there should be a university there that should have a pretty interesting architecture program, with some French architecture influence which I would enjoy. Assumptions.

I went out and found a new warmer scarf today since the weather has been turning and the beginning of snow has started to show up, although thankfully it has yet to stick or not melt immediately upon contact with the ground. I was looking for something that was a solid dark grey but was not having any luck, but then I found this scarf that is a combination of black and a dark tan that I thought paired the brown leather cap that I wear all the time very well. Read all of this as further procrastination. I have three assignments due tomorrow and I really just want to not do them and crawl into bed with a French film. Read this further as I need to brew a pot of black tea and just get to work, because it would seem that my sleep schedule is just not going to be anywhere near normal as we get closer and closer to the end of the semester.

I can’t seem to think up ideas for the upcoming final for my alternative process photography class. So, self portrait with my old mustache drawn back on it seems it may be (while listening to Doctor Who radio shows).. Then again that might just be me finishing off two bottles of white wine from the salmon and French lentil dinner that I made Stephanie and myself last night.. Time to probably throw in my accordion, and perhaps my new pipe I got cheap yesterday from the antique store just down the way from Stephanie’s place.
