Slept a little late last night and got up a little late today. AeroPressed my cold brew green tea from last night with some difficulty as the newer seal didn't quite cooperate with me. Loaded it into the big red bottle of ice from the freezer with some sugar and half a lemon and I was on my way to campus. Bad traffic. Not a fan. But I made it, albeit a bit late, and arrived to class at 8:35. Gov class was a bit boring today and I really only took a page of notes (I normally take 1 and a half to 2 pages). Took a few sips of my green tea and worried briefly midway falling asleep in lecture that I wouldn't have enough caffeine even though the entire point of this green tea was to get more hydration and less caffeine in the first place. Class finished up, I headed to Humi class, and Prof. Sal was doing his Asshole Man character with a slideshow of Western vs. Indigenous artwork. Funny as hell and occasionally familiar. I didn't participate or speak up, but I did talk a bit during the reflection after he finished his skit, about how variable and arbitrary Asshole Man's definition of art was over the really quite varied Western art (Renaissance to Modernism). Class wrapped up quick on account of our 2nd Demo of Learning assignment and I headed out to get a burger and fries. I was really hungry and thought since I had the time I might as well get something in before photography. So I had the burger and fries over an episode of Frasier, when Daphne goes out with that ex-con and holds her own. I think Daphne is my favorite character. I wrapped up and headed to photography class where I did a couple of prints, and was going to work on one from my overdeveloped Fomapan 100, but someone seemed to take all my test strips at the last moment so I decided fuck it and tried to do an enlarged double exposure from a sandwich of 2 negatives. And wow, do those negatives eat up light. I had to change my aperture from f/8 to f/4 just to see some details across the projected image. I made a test strip, then a first print, and a final print with some dodging. After trying to wrangle with the overdeveloped film I needed a win to be honest. It came out alright. After class I headed home and had to fight off some more traffic. Annoying. There was this stretch of the highway with this crazy 20, 25 MPH differential with speed demons on the left lane and snails on the right lane and boy did I want to strangle both sets of drivers. Leaping up and down the asphalt soured my vibe for a little bit, and the traffic was just droll. Seems like I don't make as many airgaps as I used to these days -- I've got to change that. So I arrived home just fine and unwound for an hour or so and then began work on Humi 1's Demonstration of Learning for a total of 2 hours of really solid work today. Watched some more Frasier, the Lilith episode is hilarious and heartbreaking. Mom made some seaweed tofu pork soup today. (Grandma's been out a couple days at her friend's house, so mom has to cook for us.) Again, delicious. Continued to work on Humi 1 after that, called it quits after finishing 2/3rds of it around 11:15. Good stuff.
