INFORMATION FOR YOU.

Herro,

Sorry for the delay! I've been busy with school work and various projects. I'm not fully back up in running the blogging sense, this entry is more about letting the people (you guys) know about some pretty cool shiz coming up! Shiz that I'm involved in.

#1
All of you CWUers should join me on the Thursday, October 28th down at D&M Coffee for their Open Mic night! I WILL be preforming and it WILL be awesome!

#2
I am putting on my own Open Mic Night for my COM 202 class. This is a display of students utilizing their First Amendment rights! It's Called 'Got Beef?' and anyone can get up on that Mic and just talk about what pisses them off about central. It should be really cool, informative, and possibly a good stress reliever? I'll work on uploading one of the flyers later but for now here is all you need to know:
It's tentatively (we're still waiting to hear back from the reservation people) on Wednesday, November 3rd (same day as my dad's bday!) at 7pm in the SURC Pit! If you want to preform you can basically just show up and get on up there!

Alrgithy then!

P.S. If that informative entry didn't have the pzazz/artsy edge you were looking for, here's a poem I just wrote. Be kind it's only 30 minutes old.


Broken Board Games

I love the feeling of a fresh razor on prickly skin,
How the hair just glides off,
Just like you just glided away, that way, in the opposite direction
What the fuck, man
Leaving me here, alone as the bitter spinster
The girl on the outs, ego in the gutter, right?
Wrong.
While you might think your hand is higher,
I hold the marionette strings
I control the situation
That’s right you should walk with trepidation
Every step you take towards me, every word you throw at me
I’m ready
To block the step and catch the word
Because the playing cards are bent, the dice are loaded and the monopoly went bankrupt
The games over

Hola!

On friday I developed my first camera! I got 25 pictures.

Here were the issues:
-I'm pretty sure I took 28 pictures.
-One picture was too dark.
-a majority were washed out.

The good news:
-I was able to semi-save a portion of the washed out pictures.
-The ones taken outside had fantastic lighting and turned out better than I hoped!
-I'm on my way to discovering how to properly use these disposable cameras!

I'm pretty sure that I should straight up not use flash outside, try to avoid taking pictures when there is just bad light, use the flash inside with dim lighting, and lastly I shouldn't use the flash when the room is full of good natural light.

I got a little trigger happy over the weekend so I have a second camera just waiting to be developed, and a third camera waiting to be used...but I'm going to be using this last one more sparingly because I refuse to buy another one this month.

Here are a few examples of my outcomes:

One I was able to save:
















One that was past saving:























And a few that turned out just as I had hoped:








































Hopefully I'll have the next one developed within the next few days.
Comment if you would like the link to my flickr to see the rest!
