Oh? You don't know what lithography is?<br /><br />I don't either.<br /><br />Neither does my professor.<br /><br />He started out the semester by saying: "Lithography is hard to explain; it's like alchemy. It's like magic."<br /><br />Basically the general idea is to grab a big-ass Bavarian limestone and doodle all over it with a greasy crayon. You get to use all sorts of goopey liquids and scary acids that can burn your hand off on in the process and it's pretty exciting and scientific.<br /><br />We are working on a technique called "tusching", which means I get to mix more potion-y stuff to make my picture look neat-o.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj2CMd2MGrXLqyfUWkfSaomIKk_uB8eUUzWEDeMmlRAFnh8t8wd1VOm5U2v-j37eaxDnjvVzukPufy0wbTI7zcsejb83Pg8_9WjOPMM2uAcEBnOwGRB-6Alv6QXs4OKQuCM1oc5W-HsMQ/s1600/photo.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj2CMd2MGrXLqyfUWkfSaomIKk_uB8eUUzWEDeMmlRAFnh8t8wd1VOm5U2v-j37eaxDnjvVzukPufy0wbTI7zcsejb83Pg8_9WjOPMM2uAcEBnOwGRB-6Alv6QXs4OKQuCM1oc5W-HsMQ/s320/photo.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657526469841977826" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">This is what tusching looks like.

It's about this rocket man who looses his mind while traveling through space and stops believing anything is real. In the end he jumps out of his rocket and floats through space forever!

I had spent the day in St. George washing windows, playing Mario Kart, and eating homemade cupcakes at my brother's birthday party, trying to forget about my collegiate alter ego's scholastic responsibilities. I arrived back in Cedar at around 11:30 and immediately felt the colossal tidal wave of impending deadlines crash down on my weary body. I somehow found the strength to crawl to the nearest refuge, the 24 hour computer lab full of my fellow peers, their desperation apparent in the frenzied clacking from typing on the keyboards. It lifted my spirits to know I wasn't alone.<br /><br />It was around 1:30 when I heard the scream. Not the scream of a frustrated student who had forgotten to push save before closing their word document- no. It came from directly outside the building. It was the sound of a man whose life had come to an abrupt and violent end. The scream was initially acknowledged only by a few swift glances to the door by a couple of distracted students, but the second time it was not so easily ignored. The gaggle of abercrombie-clad girls sitting nearby giggled stupidly and I made eye contact with the boy sitting five chairs away from me. We exchanged looks of horror, but he quickly returned to the safety of his computer screen. I, however, warily surveyed the room, carefully calculating my chances for survival for I alone recognized that god-forsaken scream. That terrible sound had been the last utterance from a man who had clearly just been devoured alive by a SWARM OF FLESH-EATING ZOMBIES!!!!!!<br /><br />After desperately searching for an escape route I came to the dismal conclusion that there was no escape. I was damned to become a savory entree in an all-you-can-eat human buffet for the living dead...<br /><br />I thought back to the events that had occurred earlier that day; how I had danced barefoot in the grass... how my little baby kitty cat had crawled sleepily into my lap... how my sister had worn a safari themed outfit and felt a little insecure about it, but still looked so beautiful... and I realized it was in these seemingly wasted hours that my time on this earth had been best put to use. I was grateful and at peace. Then I finished my paper and walked home alone in the dark.Saraihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00364031581587773857noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797624724802288625.post-84887878324818834422011-04-02T22:14:00.000-07:002011-04-02T22:15:08.638-07:00I've got the whole world in my hands<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFn0ccXOib_YPmWc9Nle-x4HQAAhAEN-xRxPXkkdqUBOf94D24Ukw3GRsS3jrRaaqTb3sYnJvQK2jvJYnoKxZ0PhybOBLiBzo3Ae2feIAjg1kjit_xnz4Srrl_0uBDOMFxt0gARaMlcmo/s1600/Photo+91.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFn0ccXOib_YPmWc9Nle-x4HQAAhAEN-xRxPXkkdqUBOf94D24Ukw3GRsS3jrRaaqTb3sYnJvQK2jvJYnoKxZ0PhybOBLiBzo3Ae2feIAjg1kjit_xnz4Srrl_0uBDOMFxt0gARaMlcmo/s320/Photo+91.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591221508722727058" /></a>Saraihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00364031581587773857noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797624724802288625.post-91099401154657350032011-03-25T09:20:00.001-07:002011-03-25T09:25:42.552-07:00Spaceball<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU7EsEcvN6rBlk8An6KRZ6QX4B6VC9ZqFJlFk74pXXXy93gD0_7QcLE0Ygyc0kCagim82u9NVAofCgoChYHU8X5biBj2Cxp2fjUexlf5t3Mn44OhaTqZV-iQd_PuGeLJQNZGTC8qA9f4o/s1600/astronaut.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 261px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU7EsEcvN6rBlk8An6KRZ6QX4B6VC9ZqFJlFk74pXXXy93gD0_7QcLE0Ygyc0kCagim82u9NVAofCgoChYHU8X5biBj2Cxp2fjUexlf5t3Mn44OhaTqZV-iQd_PuGeLJQNZGTC8qA9f4o/s320/astronaut.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588053459720019634" /></a><br /><div>I'm starting up a league.

A monstrous tripod, higher than many houses, striding over the young pine-trees, and smashing them aside in its career; a walking engine of glittering metal, striding now across the heather; articulate ropes of steel dangling from it, and the clattering tumult of its passage mingling with the riot of thunder.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvJkoHqUuXamHPyvPJ1CpMqNOMEhDSyI6wKUraAme_F-dV48IvW_161ONxPGIXDCAgRJfscCqXOxPETbHt6YrfsE2nya8ZpSbjuCABBRsEW528a6yIssyTbWanY9HvLV8Gz7reCWMpbbg/s1600/War-of-the-worlds-tripod.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 254px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvJkoHqUuXamHPyvPJ1CpMqNOMEhDSyI6wKUraAme_F-dV48IvW_161ONxPGIXDCAgRJfscCqXOxPETbHt6YrfsE2nya8ZpSbjuCABBRsEW528a6yIssyTbWanY9HvLV8Gz7reCWMpbbg/s320/War-of-the-worlds-tripod.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582509572008907170" border="0" /></a>Saraihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00364031581587773857noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797624724802288625.post-61964422499921422112011-03-06T18:11:00.001-08:002011-03-06T18:13:44.158-08:00Blog Time<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmekZqkQzG-KO3g_aGRKxjMWv998VtcrPW5J59bJZgzTEWHOU4jr2_Wjlu2ggHu7KVvm1CQIjU3YmTHO83CxVsy1hi5pP9o-L2vzvL6wNY-l_0qcS52ItV54bXdd2_PxfH32RgMRjOvDg/s1600/Photo+83.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmekZqkQzG-KO3g_aGRKxjMWv998VtcrPW5J59bJZgzTEWHOU4jr2_Wjlu2ggHu7KVvm1CQIjU3YmTHO83CxVsy1hi5pP9o-L2vzvL6wNY-l_0qcS52ItV54bXdd2_PxfH32RgMRjOvDg/s320/Photo+83.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581154967132034738" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div>Mom: watching Real Housewives of Orange County.</div><div>Riley: trying to figure out Blogger.</div><div>Brad: being a zombie.</div><div>Me: trying to get a good picture.

I slowly trudged across the muddy field that sits between my house and school, toting along with me the two stupid class projects that had insisted on denying me sleep. My hands were frozen from carrying the stupid things and when I got inside people started giving me funny looks because of the cargo I carried. This annoyed me greatly as it is never polite to stare. So I lumbered on and because my hands were too frozen and too full of stupid school projects I was unable to flip the rude onlookers the bird, but managed to look extra morose as to avoid anymore unwanted attention.<br /><br />I finally stumbled to the studio only to find the door closed. And here I must digress and explain to you my unwarranted fear of closed doors. It is unclear when or how this fear came about, but it has often times prevented me from going to class if I have arrived late and find the entrance to the room closed. "It's just a door! What you need is just beyond this three inch barrier. Turn the handle and go in. Even the raptors on Jurassic Park could open doors!" the logical side of me will say. But the morose side that likes to flip people the bird will grumble in my ear: "Everyone's gonna see the door open and stare at you as you walk in."<br /><br />So this morning with a tremendous amount of effort and an immense surge of courage, I thrust my hand towards the door nob and wrenched the door open. It was just as I feared... I heard voices. I exhaled slowly and braced myself for the large crowd of people that were sure to be turned around in their chairs to gawk at me as I walked into the room.<br /><br />But lo! There was no gawking to be had this morning! There was only one boy in the room with his headphones in his ears blissfully and unabashedly singing out loud to an empty room. When he saw me moving from the corner of is eye he stopped abruptly, but the damage was done. All my sullenness had been chased away and a half smile slowly crept onto my face.<br /><br />I quietly placed my projects in a corner of the room and left the boy to resume his song. I smiled when someone made eye contact with me and as I skipped across the green lawn I found a dollar winking up at me.<br /><br />I think today is going to be a good day.Saraihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00364031581587773857noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797624724802288625.post-48040717711813035602011-02-18T08:38:00.000-08:002011-02-18T08:44:16.923-08:00I may have spent more time googling these though:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKTqkUEMzt9XoKF88GlAbJBzmYQwNEvbmR6yUcaacEXrvFGB_ZfDVSEjp_38Q42H0eV8E99egVbbOsfBOr0_QaRDADHf2ShXij1LCM6oRJvqLszqIU7Ff1Vxh49X_4Ll0NDTJT6hg97oo/s1600/Ashevak_2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 258px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKTqkUEMzt9XoKF88GlAbJBzmYQwNEvbmR6yUcaacEXrvFGB_ZfDVSEjp_38Q42H0eV8E99egVbbOsfBOr0_QaRDADHf2ShXij1LCM6oRJvqLszqIU7Ff1Vxh49X_4Ll0NDTJT6hg97oo/s320/Ashevak_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575069994979158882" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikCeqFxwpS_JJj7CpbmZqvyGONmlUl0ep8_MyFC6vB9ZhwDEYDa2S7qZmhVanDK4ocoDcVEjJO9XTgFzbs55wD6wmYQ2cLRWNXzTAQMvaUzLCJg7Wx8pT7pABeR94wEygtm1UXer9Zm0Y/s1600/Kenojuak-Ashevak.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikCeqFxwpS_JJj7CpbmZqvyGONmlUl0ep8_MyFC6vB9ZhwDEYDa2S7qZmhVanDK4ocoDcVEjJO9XTgFzbs55wD6wmYQ2cLRWNXzTAQMvaUzLCJg7Wx8pT7pABeR94wEygtm1UXer9Zm0Y/s320/Kenojuak-Ashevak.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575069992184286450" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Again, so cool.

Sometimes said ruffian dates one million other super skanks and prefers to climb rocks with a married man that has three children rather than hang out with you. And sometimes you might get tired of being blown off.<br /><br />That being said, if you are located in the Cedar City area and would like to drive me around and pay for my dinners I would reciprocate by letting you call me your girlfriend. To sweeten the deal I'll ask you how your day was and maybe hold your hand.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.<br /><div>Also right now I love the internet and I love my sister and I probably love you too deep deep down.</div><br /><div>Also, shout out to Hayley for giving me little friend who is sitting here at work with me so I'm not totally alone for the next 8 hours and one for Jenni who is still miss popular sadies queen to me and makes me go out and be social and one for Eric who is such a gentleman and an artist and one for Jordan who is such a wise guy and one huge totally big fat one especially for Brad who played Trivial Pursuit AND Deafening Darkness with me even though he didn't want to cause he's so grown up now and then went to a movie with me then drove me up to work and is waiting for me to finish so I can go back home to be with my family who are the most important people in the world to me.</div><br /><div>Just so full of love right now it's spilling out of me onto the keyboard. </div><br /><div>Also I love my kitty cat, she's so cute and I love her and she's a really good cat and also my little Cheesta cakes I love her and she is so beautiful and once I said she was one of the most creative people I know and I really meant it cause she just exudes this tangible sense of imagination. One thing I am not loving right now is MGMT Pandora I would appreciate it if you didn't play anymore of that.</div><br /><div>SOme more things I'm loving right now: texting Jenni, slouching in my chair, Karen O, the boiler room, my hair, Brad's hair, Riley's hair and her pretty face, blah blah, I'm really glad I got to see Hayley.</div><br /><div>One more thing that I don't really love: When there are a lot of words on someone's post and no pictures. Sorry no one has to read this but look at this picture of a cat. My patronus would be this cat.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXmIwCYh5ovz41PQEsoNizdFeYtOsUPrZa5F8y4UIkKcHTVedaeAb2UyW3aGDW-8DWc_ctuYiFENtou54qQ_Bq7JoyYKtcDG3F0Xu3Q65HwEjVU8tRvIB17Qj9C8sjdtNCyfxWWA7as1Q/s1600/fancy-persian-cat.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 246px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554386219770980146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXmIwCYh5ovz41PQEsoNizdFeYtOsUPrZa5F8y4UIkKcHTVedaeAb2UyW3aGDW-8DWc_ctuYiFENtou54qQ_Bq7JoyYKtcDG3F0Xu3Q65HwEjVU8tRvIB17Qj9C8sjdtNCyfxWWA7as1Q/s320/fancy-persian-cat.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div>Saraihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00364031581587773857noreply@blogger.com4
