So the other night was my girlfriend's showing of girl friend's thesis. She's a fine arts major at a very good school. Now her's was an animation, and it was amazing. She used oil paints on glass and took still shots of them to make it. Anyway, I always feel awkward at these events because I think either, wow, these are really good, I wish I had some sort of artistic talent, cause that's really what I enjoy (music and photography). Or I think...I don't get it...it's really pretentious art. I really don't get the modern art that's like...a red dot on canvas. And the one short film before her's involved a naked guy running around in the woods, it was just odd, like his parents paid a lot of money for all this education so he could make a guy run around naked in the woods. I don't know, just thinking....

And then there's St. Patty's day. No one called me and I stayed home all the live long night. I'm a shamed Irishman
