2 more weeks….

So I’m pretty sure yesterday I had my first ever nervous breakdown. Awesome huh? Having said that, just wanted to warn you that for the next few weeks I may be the following:

1) Bitchy
2) Apathetic
3) Annoyed
4) Crying
5) Laughing hysterically
6) Shaking… like hand tremors?
7) Comatose
Cursing Joe
9) Cursing money
10) you get the general idea.

I’m blogging this right now because i am momentarily sane. However stand by for manic text messages, depressive IM’s and all that jazz.

are you dead or are you sleeping?

TO DO:

1) Come up with and execute a kick ass idea for my final in photography
2) Come up with and execute a kick ass idea for my final in digital imaging
3) Make one million dollars in 2 weeks
4) Okay fine maybe 2 thousand?
5) Study for multiple finals
6) Change the layout of www.nothingcreativetoday.com and www.malloryqualls.com. I am jealous of Jeremy and Jen’s layouts.
7) Sneeze
Do all sorts of Utah-PAC stuff.

Sorry about the boring post, i’m a teensy bit busy this week, and will be for the next few. However you may be pleased to find out that I am not taking a holiday job. I will be devoting the month in between semesters to fun. Hopefully I’ll still have friends to play with…

It’s a good life on a boat

I love the Colbert Report. Just thought I’d put that out there.

Fall break started for me officially nine hours ago, and I am so excited. I have a million different plans on what I want to do with my newfound spare time and I am pretty excited about it.

This weekend I would like to accomplish the following:

1) Frame prints for the Meyer Gallery
2) Clean my room
3) Deep clean my car (which includes the lip gloss sticky sick ass mess on the outside of my window. CERTAIN PEOPLE think it is normal to kiss windows while wearing copious amounts of lip gloss.)
4) Learn how to make Cyanotypes
5) Write my Artist’s Statement
6) Math Math Math
7) Donate a bunch of stuff to good will
Draft Ideas for my final project
9) Make a pinhole camera
10) Laundry
11) Sleep
12) Transfer music from my PC to my laptop
13) Speaking of music, burn the Peter Bjorn and John cd for Marci… Sorry..
14) Rip a bunch of cds
15) Search for copy of Muppet Treasure Island Soundtrack to sell. Holy. Crap.
16) See a movie or two.
17) Begin Christmas plans
18) Catch up on Heroes

It’s gonna be a good week.

Like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rickshaw

Things that are currently bothering me:

-I have no new email.
-I keep shamelessly looking at my phone in hopes of receiving a text message, voicemail, etc etc. Am I expecting a call? no. Does anyone have a reason to call me? Not to my knowledge. Apparently I am STILL some sort of attention whore.
-Both of my shrugs need attention… One needs a snap sewn back on, and one needs a button attached. (Please note I bought said button 2 months ago and it just sits here at my computer desk, staring me in the face.)Why is this important you ask?
-I have Grandma arms. And not the kind filled with love.
-I STILL haven’t finished reading Hocus Pocus
-I need to hand wash a bunch of stuff
-Hard water spots on my windshield

Okay I think that’s about it. Stay tuned for a real blog not involving lists!

That’s what I’m waitin’ for…

So I think I have contracted the Bubonic Plague. Thanks a lot Lisa…

Since being sick I’ve been rather short tempered and threatened murder on more than one occasion… The following things have kept me from committing such heinous acts.

-Modest Mouse. Have you learned to love them?
-Come to Find out. I have no idea who this guy is, but I love his blog.
-Stella
-Michael Showalter’s blog
-Frederick (Pronounce fred-er-ick) the Purple shark
-Day dreaming about next summer

Just wanna feel attractive today

I can only blog in forms of lists lately. Hope you don’t mind…

Things that must go:

1. Calling your boss and saying “Hi! This is Mallory from the Ashdown for Senate campaign… Oh crap! Craig!! I’m at work!! Ugh! mumble.. ughh sorry about that”
2. People that sit in their cars outside my window and see me act as if I would if I were by myself. NOT COOL
3. Three Days Grace. I think I’ve said this before.. but honestly, Raise Your Voice.. NEED I SAY MORE?
4. Shamelessly checking my phone for text messages every three minutes to find nothing there
5. Shamelessly checking my email/myspace/blog for messages/comments etc to find nothing
6. My current photo assignment.
7. Orrin Hatch
8. Technicians that call up and say “Hey Mallory I’m going to be late, there was a huge accident on the freeway and BODY PARTS ARE EVERYWHERE! because that? is gross.
9. People who intentionally pop their various joints just to gross me out. Because yes. like five different people do that.
10. Excessive pretzels in my chex mix
11. PrettyInPink, PowderPrincess, AsianPie, and other various girls on myspace inviting me to their “sexy cam” site.
12. Green day.

So. for the record? blog is meant for you to laugh at… So don’t feel like you need to take pity on me. Unless you want to buy me a present or something to make me “feel better.” Because really? Presents are always good.

Have a good’un

So this is a blatant rip off of Sarah’s post. Judge me if you must.

Things that make me happy:

• Comfy Sweaters, hoodies, or anything else that is over sized and warm
• Watching Lisa and Sarah look through Marci’s Victoria’s Secret catalog
• Getting free ice cream at Crown Burger
• Crown Burger in general really..
• Finding out that my favorite photographer is having an exhibition
• Fun and thoughtful first dates involving flowers and conversation
• Random Myspace messages and friend requests
• Center Stage
• Chai Tea
• Thoughtful emails from friends and family
• The darkroom
• Shouting HOME WRECKER!! at the top of your lungs
• The Manbase song and dance
• Staring off into space at 3 in the morning
• ICEEs. They’re delicious.
• Third Eye Blind, Ben Folds, and Blur. They seem to make everything feel better

Not perfect, not too hip…but we need lovin’ too

So this week is fall break. And that? Is awesome. What am I going to do with all my spare time? I’m not sure yet, but the fact that I don’ t have to sit through 2 hours of art history on Friday makes me want to squeal with delight. So Yeah. Friday night? I have no plans. Call me and we should hang out. It will be great, trust me. So how have you been? I feel like I should post more often, since my blog is so popular nowadays. Thank you to all who commented on my last post, It made my day, if not my week. However just because I feel like I should post more often doesn’t mean I will, I’m really not that interesting of a person.. I bet you would all like to hear me recount what happens to me on a daily basis. (and today, at work I processed invoices. Then I went to school and discussed cubism. Then I drove home and sang along with the radio. Ate dinner. Went to bed.)

So have you visited http://www.twolooseteeth.com/ lately? Because you might want to check that out. Sarah speaks the truth. I do declare, I need to be asked out. And not by some creepy ass man who comes stumbling out of a bar at 230 in the afternoon into my frame. (I was doing a shoot in a back alley) While I’m flattered that you think that we could “have a really good time together” 1)You’re fifty 2) you’re wasted at 230 in the afternoon 3)YOU ARE FIFTY and my boyfriend doesn’t like the way you’re speaking to me. Well at least he wouldn’t if he existed. He’s so thoughtful. If only he were real…

Okay kiddies, I’d better get back to work, but before I go:

• Have you registered to vote yet? You need to by the end of this week. Contact me if you need any information or whateva
• Went to muse last week. It was pretty amazing. Checkout http://www.twolooseteeth.com/ for more details (two plugs in one entry that site MUST be sweet!)
• Science of Sleep=confusing but visually stimulating movie
• I have a Weird Al song stuck in my head and I’m considering gouging out my eyes.

Have a good’un

Doncha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?

Please don’t tell Maynard James Keenan about the title of this blog… If you’re a close friend of mine, I think you’ll understand the reference…

So, the semester is about a week old, and I’ve decided to make some new years resolutions.

1- Get a 4.0 GPA, because really I have no excuse not to
2- Go to the gym at least 3 times a week
3-Complete all assigned readings in my various history courses
4-Be willing to put my name on all assigned projects (because lets face it, some of my work last year was atrocious)
5-Make more friends

I think its a good list. Mostly I don’t want this year to be like last. While I had a blast last year in foundations, I think I wasted a lot of time academically, professionally, financially, physically, and socially. Basically, I want to be a better version of me this year, A better student, a better employee, a responsible adult, and a better, more compassionate friend. I think if I strive to achieve these goals, things will somehow magically fall into place. Anyways just thought you should know that.

In other news, I went to TOOL and I can’t even begin to talk about how amazing it was to see them live again. Its one thing to see a really talented band, its another thing to see a band that inspires you artistically, and still its another thing to see a band who’s music has really helped you during a difficult period of your life (13th step… Yeah yeah its APC I know) so when you get to see one band that is all three, its basically a religious experience. I want my work to look like what their music sounds like. I think before I die, I want to do a series based on various songs that I find inspiring. But that’s for another day I suppose.

Well kiddies, My computer is being a little glitchy, so I’m going to end this before I lose the entire post… But you have a good’un!

BLAH

Back to School…

1. I hate drawing
2. I hate Charcoal and how it gets all over everything, including my face
3. I hate boys.
