Need to do more.

]]> ~schizochicken http://schizochicken.deviantart.com/journal/13365001/ http://schizochicken.deviantart.com/journal/13365001/ Sat, 16 Jun 2007 05:41:56 PDT . Because there's so many, I'm not able to spend more time on one subject to do a better job, without it being at the expense of merely passing another subject, so it's just an average job on most of them. That on top of working two casual jobs, soccer, and volunteer work at the homeless shelter..... ok so the last one is a lie. I'm not sure if there even is a homeless shelter in Wagga. But I am a very very busy girl, and I can't goddamn wait until the holidays.

So it has been a really successful exhibition, and the celebrations that continued into the night after the opening were insanely fun. This did not continue into the morning, however
And for you Sydneysiders, the two works of mine selected for Showcase 06 are now on display at the Downing Centre Law Courts, so do stop by and have a look, let me know what you think if you get around to it...!

I got 19/20 for a digital media assignment, and my art history teacher said that my descriptive writing and critique is 'of an extremely high standard' and 'well informed'. That inflated my ego for a good 2 - 3 hours today..! Yay . I do love interpreting and observing art though, always found it rather therapeutic. Probably why I'm on here so much. Not because I don't have a life. How grand it would be to breed Bearded Chinese Silkie chickens. I could take them to the shows and fairs, and win prizes for them.. At the Sydney Royal Easter show. Man that was brilliant. Just this giant warehouse/shed thing filled with prize chickens. I could have stayed in there all day. There were seriously chickens there the size of small horses.

Meh. Future Sarah can take care of that. I've been a bit stressed lately, as I was lazy with my sculpture and ceramics work over the past couple of months, and now it's all catching up with me , assessment time and whatnot. And my little pet dog, Milo, died recently, that was extremely upsetting, but at least he isn't in any more pain now, the rabbit poison that caused his death really wreaked havoc upon his poor little system . So yeah right now I'm really anti rabbit poison. The closest farm that has it is at least 3 kilometres away, and Milo never went to that area. We figured he'd found a rabbit that had eaten the poison and then wandered off & died, which goes to show how ineffective it is. Even on the target animals, it is such a horrific and painful way to die, it just tears them apart, and you don't even have to live near a poisoned farm to have it affect you in some way . It's made my shifts at Coles a living hell too, sometimes I'll start crying and people just avoid you and look at you weirdly, and really evinces Wagga's collective empathy..

On a more positive note, two of my works that are currently in an exhibition at the regional gallery have been chosen to go on display at the 'Showcase' tafe art exhibition at the Downing Centre in Sydney, starting in late November...! Which is apparently a pretty big deal, no other works from Wagga were chosen..! So any Sydneysiders out there, do go and have a look when it opens!

And finally, yay! Holidays! Time to kick back and.... catch up on my work

The problem that I have with these shows is not because they are popular, nor because I dislike the people that star on them (…well… okay maybe that one just a little…), but purely because they are E-A-S-Y. These programs required NO effort to make. No imagination, no originality, absolutely nothing. We have a pile of B celebrities, and general members of the public that are willing to do just about any-frigging-thing, so lets do just that. We’ll test their intelligence on a game show, we’ll make them dance for Daryl Somers, we’ll stick them in a circus, we’ll make them skate on ice, we’ll make them commentate and share their riveting opinions on 20 to 1, we’ll stick them in a house together and feverishly watch them interact with each other, we’ll make them sing and get three has-beens to diminish their spirits, we’ll let them scamper about in the wilderness, or we’ll whittle them down in number till we’re left with a bogan ‘princess’. These shows achieve little more than ratings and cheap laughs, and I believe that we are being cheated, swindled and deceived. We also need the US to test the waters for us, to make sure that the ‘ideas’ won’t fail, which prevents Australia from even producing original programs of the aforementioned nature.

Is this what lies ahead for Australian made TV? I know, for a fact, that there are people out there with good, effective ideas. I’ve seen locally made short films and media produced by university students, and I’m usually impressed by what I see. It seems that new and good ideas are too risky to invest in, so we’ll just keep pumping out the same old safe, but effective rubbish. Sigh.
Does anyone else not watch TV anymore for this reason????

Anyways that's the end of my angry rant. ]]> ~schizochicken http://schizochicken.deviantart.com/journal/7709552/ http://schizochicken.deviantart.com/journal/7709552/ Thu, 26 Jan 2006 00:15:49 PST

I'm now officially 20 years of age, definitely no longer a teenager. Too early to tell if that depresses me, it's only been half an hour.

Toodles ]]> ~schizochicken http://schizochicken.deviantart.com/journal/5786120/ http://schizochicken.deviantart.com/journal/5786120/ Tue, 28 Jun 2005 22:07:57 PDT not to believe in them.
The number one reason why we are able to survive on earth is because we are the ideal distance from the sun. Venus and Mercury are far too frigging hot for anything to effectively survive, while Mars and all other planets beyond are too cold. Bacteria fossils were found on Mars, but that's all that the living conditions could muster in terms of respirating organisms. Being the perfect distance from the sun, giving us substantial light and heat sources, all we needed was these perfect conditions to crawl out of the primordial soup and adapt to our changing surrounds.
So what can possibly rule out the possibility of there being another planet in one of the billions of galaxies in the universe, that is in the exact same situation? I'll tell you what. Nothing except the odds.
I don't exactly chase up UFOs or alien encounters, most people who make such claims are lying, rednecks or raging crackpots. I simply believe that the existence of extra-terrestrial life is very, very possible.

Well, I'm glad I got that out of my system. Though, the fact that such a 'pressing issue' needed to be vented is a little weird. ]]> ~schizochicken http://schizochicken.deviantart.com/journal/5462523/ http://schizochicken.deviantart.com/journal/5462523/ Wed, 25 May 2005 23:46:56 PDT My main worries are, getting into the course.... and how the hell I'm going to even live there, as I am the worst budget-er in the known universe. I have earned heaps of money in the last 12 months, and I have nothing to show for it except a paid car registration, a trip to New Zealand... and... well nothing else of any significance. I did spend big at Christmas though. I suppose I'll just have to learn to discipline myself. Or just to live up to the age-old tradition of being a destitute student. It is so expensive to live in Canberra! A friend of mine once had to live on RICE (just plain boiled rice) for a month. ]]> ~schizochicken http://schizochicken.deviantart.com/journal/4806560/ http://schizochicken.deviantart.com/journal/4806560/ Sun, 13 Mar 2005 22:56:14 PST ~schizochicken http://schizochicken.deviantart.com/journal/4457776/ http://schizochicken.deviantart.com/journal/4457776/ Sun, 30 Jan 2005 22:07:41 PST
Why is it that when people dislike any other animal, it just stays at that, but when people dislike cats, it's not just dislike, it's a malevolent CONTEMPT for them. WHY??? How can people HATE an animal?? There are people I've met who enjoy driving around the suburbs at night, aiming for cats that run across the road. I just don't GET IT. I seriously cannot put myself in a state of mind in order to understand and empathise with people who can possibly do this.

Ugh. This is making me too angry.

AND while I'm on my shitty rant, I'm sick of going to the front page of DA only to see poorly taken photographs of people carving stuff onto their arms and wrists. Oh wow, that's so hardcore and angsty. Get a life. ]]> ~schizochicken http://schizochicken.deviantart.com/journal/4274251/ http://schizochicken.deviantart.com/journal/4274251/ Sun, 09 Jan 2005 00:11:55 PST So yeah, hope everyone had a great Christmas, and an awesome New Year!!!

And of course I'm too lazy and retarded to actually study and print off lecture notes and stuff. Oh well hopefully I'll lift my game next semester.
But for now, I'm waiting for the big juicy 5 weeks of holidays that are coming up, then I can finally get back into my beloved art, and rid my head of medical science and chemistry and human physiology and nnnyyyyarrrffgggghhhhh ]]> ~schizochicken http://schizochicken.deviantart.com/journal/1796328/ http://schizochicken.deviantart.com/journal/1796328/ Thu, 05 Feb 2004 00:52:58 PST

Bad news: I've found that the weekly timetable for this particular course is horrifically busy... as in on Mondays I'm pretty sure I'll be at Uni for 12 hours, like 9am to 9pm... with one 1 hour break... I WILL go crazy... especially if they don't let me eat during lectures or something. My only hope is that I have misinterpreted the timetables provided on the CSU website.
So yeah...

Mmm... sherbert lollies... ]]> ~schizochicken http://schizochicken.deviantart.com/journal/1574495/ http://schizochicken.deviantart.com/journal/1574495/ Tue, 23 Dec 2003 20:01:24 PST

No more HSC exams for me!! No more school... and right now I'm not going to let that statement depress me...
YAY no more ENGLISH!!! NO MORE ENGLISH OH MY GOD THAT IS SOOOO GOOD TO HEAR!!! AND NO MORE BIOLOGY... except for when I hopefully get into my Biotech uni course next year.. but for the time being,

Aww... no more Visual Arts... Oh well. I'll be doing art as a leisure activity during Uni anyways.

"sigh" oh well. Have to try new techniques and such. I'm not big on digital art (mainly because my computer's too shite to facilitate programs required for such an activity), or any other computer generated art, I'm a bit old fashioned. I like making art that is completely mine (apart from my charcoals that were copied from photographs), that I have drawn or painted, and I get stuff on my hands, have the result right in front of me... quite a unique feeling. I've been interested in cubism and have given it a try, a tap was my guinea pig, turned out okay. But I have an idea in mind similar to my angels, but more expressive. Yes, those figures that I draw are referred to as angels, mainly because they have wings. I like drawing them, their elongated and jagged features I find are a good way to express moods.. they are my vent. OH well, rambling now. Suppose I'd better bid you all adieu and hit the sack. Getting tired.

Edvard Munch (I love his Madonna)
Vincent Van Gogh (Starry Night... *drools*)
Umberto Boccioni
Georges Braque
Pablo Picasso
Barbara Lichen
Constantin Brancusi
Marcel Duchamp (sort of, I liked his 'Nude Descending Staircase and such, his Dada is interesting and thought provoking, as in questioning art ideals and norms, but I usually judge paintings subjectively, so his artworks I don't find completely overwhelming, but interesting nonetheless)
Gino Severini
Andy Warhol (same for him like Duchamp, some of his ideas were okay, but his principles were mainly the issue)
And I can't think of anymore at this moment. Mainly art from late 1800s to 1900s, the major art movements and such. I like some from the earlier periods, like DaVinci and others from the rennaissance, but I won't go into detail because I'm getting tired.
