The other day I thought of what my summer project is going to be. I’m going to take stories and tell the story in 6 images and make artist books. For inspiration I’m going to start with a few Grimm Fairy Tales. I just went out and got a collection of them. 

It should be good. I’ll post the sketches and progress as I go along.

“No, no, no, no, no, no. She’s hot, okay? Because if you were saying that Hilary Swank isn’t hot, then you’re saying I’m not hot! Because obviously I’m not as hot as Hilary Swank.” -Kelly, The Office

The average guy will get teary-eyed six times a year

“Sensitive new-age guys” will get weepy up to 17 times a year, and women will empty their tear ducts between 30 and 64 times annually.

While women tend to well up due to stresses in their everyday life, men were found most likely to cry during weddings, funerals, sappy movies or after the death of a pet.

Summer Reading

This summer I really want to read a few books. I want at least one of them to be a ‘classic’ I’m thinking Walden by Thoreau. 

I’m not really sure why these caught on and became such a big hit. I just read an NPR article that listed the reasons why it had the perfect formula for being a trend. 1) It’s portable. 2) They’re different colors and shapes making it fun to try and get all the different variations. 3) Element of trading and collecting. 4)The bands give a sense of belonging. 
These points make sense, I just don’t understand still why they became so big. Even with an explanation right there. I might though if I was back in 4th grade.
