my friend asked me to help out at a costume making workshop at the CMA in the LES. we helped little kids make masks & hats. it was pretty fun, there was glue & glitter everywhere. the kids were pretty outgoing as well, which made things easier.
after the mask-making, there was a parade, and the Moko Jumbies walked on giant stilts above the little kids. the artist who designs their costumes, Laura Barbata, is amazing & it was nice to work on the project with her. volunteering is definitely more fun than working.

everything is great! we didn’t get all of the furniture we wanted, but we got what was needed (like shelves). some of the furniture had to be swapped around (like a cart that once held office/craft supplies is now holding linens), but everything works together pretty well. i frequently find myself thinking, ‘i love this apt!’ i just have to keep it clean now.

unbelievable, yeah? i wrote the lyrics & animated this video:
(why can’t i embed video!?) LAST YEAR’S MODEL FOR VICE PRESIDENT!
usually i have an idea and never do anything with it. this time i brought it up to the band, nagged them about it, recorded some vox as a demo, etcetc and then obsessed over the video for three days. i felt really good while working on it & was so excited when it was finished. maybe a little manic. like i had created the best, smartest, most hilarious animation about the election ever.
i need to remember that finishing projects is fun.
