An Introductory Exercise: A found-materials exchange project...

...based on the following passage from A Friend of the Earth by T.C. Boyle:

"Finally, though--and it must have been late in the afternoon--he pulled her up out of the mud and slid her over one shoulder, nothing heavier in the world, nothing, not stone or lead or all the mountains marching off in the neat ranks to Canada. Down the trail then, down the trail to the trailhead, and out to the road and the car and the hospital in Whitefish. He brought her back, all the way back, out of the tall trees and the wet and the sting of the everlasting day, but it didn't matter to him or to anybody else, because he didn't bring her back alive."

Read and respond to the above narrative using materials you find for image and text. This should be completed on a single base sheet of 8.5"x11" copy paper in landscape format. May be done in color or black-and-white.

Bleep Bloop

Many of you know that I never sleep. Here is one of the many things I try to fall asleep to: Average comedians playing and commenting on their playing of video games...

Oh, and just came back from seeing Arabian Nights with Eric, his Mom and Joe..

It was AMAZING! Pretty much the best thing that has happened to me since I came home to a brand new puppy at the age of 10 years.

Love,

Monica

Costume Karaoke

Tonight I went to Karaoke with Bob, Cailtin, Joe and Eric (Eric's roommate). It was AWESOME! I sang "I walk the line", "Zombie" and "I should have known better". I got off the stage and everyone was cheering and high-fiving me. It was an amaaazzzziiinng feeling. A group of people even found me well after I had finished singing to tell me that they loved me or something. It was like valentine's day or something without all the stupid candy.

Snow

There isn't any snow here yet, but it's COMPLETELY wrecking my travel plans. I was going to leave early this morning to drive down to Pittsboro, NC for a week of winter camp. Now because of the snow, my boss might delay the start of camp until Tuesday (I hope she does because I don't think I'll be able to make it to NC by tomorrow morning).
