I've been so stressed lately that I've had to resort to impulsive consumption to keep me grounded. While at movie gallery returning a tardy rental, I came upon a great deal: buy 2 get 2 free on select DVDs. So I got some pretty good titles (pictured above).

My current DVD collection:
Barbershop 2
Bend it Like Beckham
Big Fish
From Justin to Kelly
Girl with a Pearl Earring
In America
LadyHawke
Legend of Johnny Lingo, The
Pieces of April
School of Rock
Swiss Family Robinson
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
Whale Rider

I had my first project for my Digital Graphic Design class due this past Wednesday. I hadn't had to time to go to the computer lab, so I had to finish it at the last minute. I had to design two postage stamps that would be part of a series, so they had to be similar in imagery, style, color, or whatever. You just had to be able to tell the two went together. I had an idea to do one on purple triangles, the symbol that Jehovah's Witnesses were forced to wear in concentration camps during the Holocaust (like the Jews had to wear the yellow Star-of-David). The other stamp was Jewish themed. The JW one didn't turn out as well as I'd like, because I ran out of time. I'll post the designs soon, though.

In photography class, I made two pinhole cameras—I'm quite proud of them—so I'll be shooting with those this weekend.

So. . .because, it's a scientific fact that stress does in fact kill, I must remember to "never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Sufficient for each day is its own badness." (Matthew 6:34)
