Today in class we did magazine transfers and I accidentally wasted five strips of tape. Don't tell Silva, and if she is reading this well don't pay attention.
I found the process to be enjoyable. I found myself focusing on words that I liked the sound of like "Yonkers" or "Lake Waccamaw". I also found some really cool blue textures in the magazines. Overall I'm having fun. In large part too my partner Paul. Today he won the fondly given title of "Most sarcastic asshole on earth". I'm honestly surprised he beat me to the title but I've got to hand it to him.
Paul managed to exacerbate every mistake that I made. When I managed to stick an entire page onto my tape he said "well that's stuck". When I managed to fold my tape in half he said "well that's bent". This guy is a great partner. (Not being sarcastic here)
I think that today I discovered a confirmation on something that I've been thinking about film for a long time.
One of the most important aspects of any image is it's texture. Filmmakers like Don Herdtzfeldt, Andrei Tarkovsky and , Wong Kar-wai gave me the inkling of this idea but now it is proven to me. Thank you class!

I'm going to have to make sure you and Paul end up back together at some point. ;)
