...

yes another blog titled "..."

but really i don't have much to say, but i do want to share these photos...


this is just...well...something on campus that i saw on my way to the studio. it just caught my eyes that's all


ahhh...spring! aren't these just some of the most beautiful colors that you have seen. now i'm sorry that you can't feel the warm sun and the cool breeze that i felt while taking this photo.


now...the most deliciously gorgeous children i have ever seen. that's sasha (나비) and jacob (나무) my niece and nephew...the one downside of being in korea is that i can't hug and kiss em!

Finally...

my hard drive crashed! but alas i have most my stuff backed up. all i have to say is thank god i have the apple protection plan. i have a new hard drive within 24 hrs and it didn't cost a cent. of course, i had to pay with the lost of some info, but really...i can't complain. i was up and back where i was 24 hours ago in a couple of hours

clay dreams...

these days i spend a lot of time at the studio. like about 8 hrs a day. but now i dream about spending time in the studio. just the other night i was doing some pretty crazy glaze experimentation ... in my dreams. but the experimentation was so real that when i woke up i couldn't decern if i actually did what i dream about doing. talk about living out your dreams.

Spring...

and Fall are probably my favorite seasons in korea, but they are unfortunately the shortest seasons. I don't mind a long winter, but the summers...well they just kill me. But spring is nice. The coming of spring bring the blooming of flowers, including the cherry blossom trees (this shot was taken at night) and the magnolia (i think) which was described to me as being like a beautiful lady who in time withers away (ouch!)But seriously, this beauty only is around a couple of weeks. one magnolia tree i saw bloom was completely gone in a week! i love all these flowers and green leaves but since the season is so short, so is this part of their life cycle...












But the one thing i hate about the spring is "hwang-sa" or yellow dust which flows down from China. Mostly, just sand from the Gobi Desert, the yellow dust also brings along with it a lot of the pollution and filth. This dust is gnarly. Last year it wasn't so bad, but this year is said to be really bad. i woke up last Sat. with this pain in my throat like i was coming down with a cold. So I took some meds and walked out into what I thought was a really hazzy day to be told later that it was dust. It sucked for a while and now I hear that during the "dusty period" there will be a few more days when it gets really bad.






School...
School is going well. I am quite busy and I promise to take some pics of my work in progress as well as the studio scene. but for now you only get to see the new garden that they completed on campus...lot of money being put into the school right now as they are also building a new mega structure called the multimedia center...

ok...gotta run off back to the studio!

dammit..

funny...even though i'm finally doing what i always wanted to be doing, which is to be going to art school and studying ceramics, i doubt that i belong here! damn gemini!

i guess i had a couple of bad days followed by a terrible day which has messed my senses. but still...

i guess life is all about good head positioning...
