So I'm continuing to work on putting my thesis book together which means I am basically resizing boards, finishing other graphics and then formatting them so that they fit the University's standards.

Anyhow, this of course leads to me having something else going on to keep me sane such as a movie, trailer, music, or random clips I come across in my journey through the world wide web. To illustrate how much I am working on my thesis book, here is the list of movies playing in the background over the last couple of days:

Thank You for Smoking
Punch Drunk Love
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Old School
Amelie
Garden State
Clerks
Hellboy
Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind
Chasing Amy
Venture Bros. Season 2
Lost in Translation

So that's about it for the past week. I've also been listening to the Old Crow Medicine Show a lot. I picked up their latest album: Big Iron World which I have really been enjoying, especially the first track "Down Home Girl". Anyhow, this next week is pretty chalk full of events. Today I am acting as a critic on a design jury for my thesis advisor Ozayr Saloojee's Undergrad 2 studio and then this evening in the Twin Cities Solutions Vol. 1 mentioned in my last post. Tomorrow will be an all day, knock-down, drag-out book day with possible stop offs for lunch with my folks downtown and maybe a run. Friday will be more of the same, and hopefully I'll have a chance to relax with some friends I haven't seen for a while and play some Kubb. I will probably just post anecdotal events that I haven't mentioned since my time home or things that happened in Biloxi that I forgot to mention until I get my book done and have more to post from thesis.

Anyhow, I thought I'd leave you all with a quick little story. Back in February I believe, the folks at studio stuffed our buddy Phil Fossen's Tigger Halloween suit up, put a basketball for a head and put a beer in it's hand and sat it at my desk in studio where it remained for over a month and a half. Putting pictures on facebook of it and then telling me it's so good to have me back, but I should get more sleep and not stay at studio all the time.

Sooooo... when I got back and found the Tigger suit slumped over under my desk, I decided to put it on and have a little walk around the building in between some of the thesis reviews lunch break. All in all, good times, it was hot as a mother lover. Enjoy.
