Happy Holidays to all the Blythers out there!

This made me think back on my days at Academy. People ask me if it is a great school. Personally, any school is great as long as you make the best of it. No one is going to hold your hand and make you great. I do like the fact they usually have the most updated technology. That is a plus considering it is located in San Francisco. You need some kind of edge when you are competing with other art schools. I did consider going to a NY school or even a foreign art school. IF I had the money of course. Since I did not have the money, nor the smarts to attend a real college I chose Academy. Plus I was able to get grants every year. GO ME!
Most of the teachers there don't have a teaching credentials, but they have worked in the industry. Some were great, some were average, and some were just a waste of time. BAH! There was this one teacher, whom I've told people about many many times, who wanted to fail me. He would say, "You give me this? You don't want to get paid do you?!?!?!" It was my storyboarding class. He wanted all our storyboards to look super sexy like the MATRIX storyboards. Then he would shoot down any ideas I had. He couldn't critique anything well and was soo bitter about being a "teacher" and not an employee at a company. BAH! He also couldn't remember if my friend did his homework, which he didn't, and just marked an A where his supposed grade would be!!!! He would say, "Oh, oh yeah! I think I remember now." ... Inside I was screaming... "YOU LIAR!!! AHH!!!!"
I just hope they are not there anymore!!! Haha! But seriously, it was a wonderful experience and I connected with a lot of professionals while I went to school there.
Thanks AAU!
It's that time of year again!
(I know it's early, but you know how
things get busy!)

2. SF BAY AREA BLYTHE HOLIDAY PARTY!
SAT, DECEMBER 13th 2008
Noon - 5pm
3 blocks from the Embarcadero
Info from Henry:
I wanted to host a Holiday Potluck on Saturday December 13th from noon to 5pm. I have a friend who lives in a swank apartment building with a nice party room about 3 blocks from the Embarcadero BART station. I was thinking we could celebrate the holiday season with our lovely girls with some food and music.

My gripe of the day:
"If I tell you to leave me alone, leave me alone!"
Today I had to go to the local fabric store to pick up some last minute supplies. On my way back I suddenly had this sinking feeling that someone was following me. A man about my height, scraggly and couldn't speak very well started circling me. He kept "saying" things but I couldn't understand him. I know he spoke English, but it sounded like he was missing teeth or had too many drug experiences to relay what he was trying to say. Whenever he spoke, alcohol permeated through he porthole.
He continued to repeat something that sounded like:
"I am the kahrmanure."
(WHAT???)
"I am the kahrmanure!" He continued repeating it to me over and over again. I'm getting closer to my apartment, so I start thinking to myself, how am I going to get rid of this jerkface? I then raised my hand at him and just freaked out.
"LOOK!," I said, " I don't know who you are, or what you are saying just leave me alone!!!" I think I scared some people that were around me, but the scraggly man just looked at me and blurted out,"
"gorf ahead and shmalp me." (or something I assumed he said), "I don't carf! I knowf Kurate!" He then continued to "lamely" lift his leg up in the air. Once. Then twice and he then looked at me. You also need to remember I was walking as fast as I can away from him and he kept following!!! Luckily there was a stop light and he stopped while I just gunned past some oncoming cars.
Anywho... All I can hear while I walked even faster was..."I am kahrmanure!... I am the kahrmanure! ....I am kahrmanure!"
XO !!!! I hate leaving my apartment sometimes.
GAH!!!!
Show us a flag.
There is a reason why I don't live in certain areas of the country.
Today I was reminded that we get random pockets of heat.
-dies-
(I know I can't take the heat... hahaha)
