Week 2 - Discovering Blogs...

Sept 14/10 - I am beginning at Week 2 to correspond with the outline (assuming we don't need an entry for our first week of school) - I considered keeping a traditional source book collecting physical objects and inspirations. Although, I've never had a blog before and I thought, since blogs are continuing to increase in popularity, that I should familiarize myself with how exactly one works...
My interest and experience in web and graphics design has greatly intrigued my to explore the many features of a blog. Especially getting to design it's layout!


Sept 15/10 - Last night I found a fish tank that someone had put out for the garbage, complete with functioning filter, light, and heater. I picked it up and brought it home. At the beginning of the summer I had been planning to purchase my very own pet turtle and even looked on craigslist for ads of people selling fish tanks. I knew that turtles weren't in season until the fall but wanted to be prepared. Over the summer I gradually lost interest and forgot about my desire to have a pet turtle. I find it enlightening that I choose to go for a long walk that night, and it almost seems like the tank found me. The timing of finding this tank and it being fully functioning is almost like the animal gods are agreeing with my desire to be a turtle owner and are supporting it by putting this readily able tank at my feet, 4 days before the turtles are in stock at the pet store.


Sept 16/10 - While in class listening to everyone's moment, the back and fourth discussions got me thinking about my own moment, and what I can make my moment into with the time based aspect of the assignment. I spontaneously developed the idea of sketching my moment in an low-animated cartoon that was solely in pencil sketches. I thought of a cartoon to emphasize the emotional expressions of the characters involved in my moment.
