La Roux- Fascination

It might due to the lack of sleep, overdosing on caffeine, and that greasy southern style breakfast biscuit I got at McDonald’s… but I really like La Roux.

i think it’s official. whenever i am here, i become an insomniac.

So true. I can never fall asleep when I’m here. Tonight feels like it’s gonna be an allnighter. :/

yeah i think ive been so used to running on little to no sleep here that i think my body just thinks that it needs to constantly prep itself for all-nighters when i really don’t need to. all-nighters suck, what are you working on?

Well I’m supposed to be writing a paper on the service industry in New Zealand. Instead I’m procrastinating in any way possible. Sophomore year I had a terrible schedule and pulled like 20-30 all-nighters. Ever since then I’ve been unable to sleep at normal times around here.

You working on anything specific or are you just partyin till the sun rises?

During my senior year at Wake Forest, I made a sculpture that looked like a prop from a crappy sci-fi movie. As graduation approached, my professor informed me they could no longer store the sculpture in the art lab. Since I had nowhere else to put it, and no real desire to take it home with me. I decided to hide it in the small wooded area by Wake’s student apartments, as a hidden memento of my time at the school. During my visits back to campus over the past year, I always made time to go check up on its decay. However, during my last trip, I noticed someone had dragged the sculpture out of the woods and into the leaves by the street. I’m not sure if it will be there the next time I visit, so I figured I’d show you the devolution it has undergone.

Removing this piece from the gallery setting really changed the way people interpret it.

Awesome sculpture. But I’d definitely be freaked out if I stumbled on this in the woods.

“For French Insurance company directed and animated this spot to address the desire to remain relevant in a constantly advancing world. The spot highlights the rapid evolution of mankind by showcasing an origami man transforming himself into some of the most important inventions throughout history. Ending with a question mark and a resolve on the AXA logo.”

This is a very cool computer animation. Wish they could have created a smoother transition to the logo but overall definitely worth watching!

I wanna make another GIF

It can use pictures or I could make a cartoon for it.

What should I make???

I wanna be her when I “grow up”

I’ve “grown up” and I’m still waiting to be her.

That would require working for Don Draper… and having an affair with Roger Sterling…

Palmer, I think we meant the physical growing up.

OOOOOOOhhh as in humorously large breasts? Side note… didn’t even occur to me she was in firefly.

The strength of Barack Obama’s young presidency has been its depressing realism about the limits of legislative achievement in the age of the filibuster and unrelenting partisan polarization. Health care might pass — and might is an important word there — because Obama didn’t try to do too much. Big as people think this bill is, it really only affects the insurance situations of 30 or 40 million Americans, most of whom would be otherwise uninsured. Helping 30 or 40 million people is a big step forward, but it is not reform of the health-care system. It is an expansion of it.

Similarly, Obama isn’t drawing lines in the sand on universality (as Clinton did), or on full auction of carbon permits. Christina Romer told the administration it needed a $1.2 trillion stimulus, and the administration settled on $800 billion because that seemed passable. And it still didn’t get a single Republican vote in the House. We live in an age where we expect, and arguably need, the president to do much more, but where the structural constraints confine him to doing much less. Obama, by aiming squarely for the middle of that Venn diagram, will probably manage to do quite a lot, while still not doing nearly enough. He won’t content himself with noble failures, but we will not see full solutions.

This is fast becoming conventional wisdom on the lefthand lane of the beltway, is it not? Pragmatic Obama always sets his sites on what can be accomplished, not what should be accomplished, because he knows the system is rigged to punish overreaching.

I invite everyone to remember what the constellation of events felt like a year ago. We were worried about a potential second great depression, and the crises that Rahm Emanuel told us not to waste… have they been wasted? And we elected Mr. Hope and Change, and it felt quite significant. But if you can’t mobilize the country to embrase progressive reforms in such a climate, is the bitter, middling, “best we can reasonably hope to achieve” zone of compromise the target we should be aiming for? The dynamic applies to Afghanistan.

Am I disappointed in Obama, or in us?

Directed and shot by me, produced by Eva, written by Sarah and Kevin. This was our first experiment shooting on the Canon 7D- A lightweight camera solution was necessary because our actor’s did most of the camera operating, thanks to a homemade snorricam rig on lend from Justin at nextnewnetworks. Special thanks to Noah for letting us use his lense.

This is a much more accurate representation of the song Gotta Feeling…
