That's The Way You Do It
Well, it's not quite money for nothing and chicks for free... but I've been selling my old, out-dated D&D books on eBay and making a decent amount off of them -- about half the price I payed for them, which is not bad for something so old. And with the money I make from selling them, I can buy used video games and DVDs really cheap from eBay, so I can spend my paycheck on more important things, like food. *insert Kool-Aid guy "Oh Yeah!" here*
So today I've got a lot of work to do, despite it being my "day off." I need to run to the bank to deposit my paycheck, withdraw some quarters so I can do my laundry, do my laundry, go the the post office and mail some previously mentioned eBay items, buy some groceries, take my car to the mechanics to fix however many bizarre problems it has right now, and then get home and start my homework. I need to finish my N.C. Wyeth master copy, which I haven't worked on much since I last mentioned it. That'll take almost all of the day. When I'm finished, however, I have more work to do... see, yesterday my teacher changed his mind and decided that he didn't like my idea. He said I can still do it, but how can I be motivated to do an idea that I know the person responsible for my grade doesn't like? So I'm still going to do it, but I've been desperately trying to come up with another idea, so I can have 2 pieces to turn in. Hopefull he'll like one of them. Also, I should be filming for Digital Video today, since it is my free day, but I really don't have the time. So I'm going to have to plan some things to film and do them on Thursday before work, and then go to the labs some time this weekend and insert the film into my project. I can't spend too long on it, though, because my illustrations are due Monday. No due date has been given to the Mama Fratelli portrait, so I think I'm good on that one for now...
I've decided to go to Japan this summer, with a little bit of convincing from a friend. I think she just kind of sped up the process, since I probably would've ended up deciding to go there anyway. The thing is that I've wanted to go to for a really long time, and like I said earlier, college really is the best time to go. If I missed out on it, I don't think I'd be beating myself up about it later, but it would be a missed opportunity. And I really could use a big and expensive adventure before I head into the life of poverty that is the professional art world.
I thought about tagging something about picking up foreign women and getting "chicks for free" to that last paragraph to tie back into the "money for nothing" in the first post and the title, but that's just kind of creepy. Not all posts need to tie back to the title, right?
