i'm working on talking, talking talking talking.

Its... I could practice korean, but I don't talk enough to practice it, so its coming down to blah blah blah. oh boy.

How are friends so good, even when I don't talk to them for months, they're still so good to me. Reconfirms my thought that nothing is truley changing...now its just going to be extra sweet.

He doesn't do coincidence. I look on the subway map last week...there it is 주안 or Ju an. Yes and what is Juan doing for me this weekend? He goings to my moms house and taking pictures of all my peices for my portfolio. I don't know how to be more grateful.

But about talking, its like I didn't hit this kid up for sooo long, but I post on his wall with a favor, and without noticing after posting I noticed he wrote on my wall like an hour earlier...funny and weird how things work out. Anyways I've talked with him everyday since, working out details and planning, but maybe its a time thing...why don't I keep this in touch with everybody?

who knows.

I was tested. we decided to apply to another school, my teacher and I. Deadline is the 30th. We found it good because it wasn't a drawing exam but required a portfolio. So we're like okay, how many pieces do we need? 15-20. How many do you have peter? I have 6 online and 2 pieces at home. Okay but I have like 4 or 5 more at the pottery studio, can I just go take pictures of those? He calls my other teacher and they're discussing, I didn't know of what. He gets off the phone and is like okay we can send you with slide film to take pictures, but since your pieces aren't fired and glazed yet, we dont think you can fire those in time. So you can go and borrow some of his pieces and just enter them into your porfolio. How does that sound... hellla sketchy. So I said I can't do that, we'll have to work around it. We discussed and we were going to mix and match, some water color, pictures, ceramics, but the quality of the porfolio would be lacking. So it came down to what was above, and so thankful that Juan was more than obliged.

Peter Kang wrote at 1:15am yes! you'll HAVE to take a picture of Honu the turtle! I think there should be around 10 pieces but there may be more... and if you can hit an angle so you can see into the lip of bowls and vases thatd be good...like the 10th piece in the album. Ill ask about the background, friends and teachers.. but sounds like you got this, so I'm pumped..and about the disc that could work if you want to send it or my fam they've got the address, i'td be good to get everything settled and in the mail as soon as we can. my deadline is the 30th but i gotta get the files printed onto slides I need some time to organize and prepare.

Juan Gutierrez wrote at 11:34pm alright man i took a look at the album, the lighting wont be a problem cuz i have a tri-pod AND a flash if it comes to that, the only thing is the background. I'm not sure where i'll find something that will work well. Maybe there's something in your house? I could somehow mail you a DVD with the pictures on it...would that be feasible though?? How many pieces do you have at your house? do you have the fucking sweet turtle still Write on Juan's Wall - Delete

Peter Kang wrote at 10:34am Its the neo majolica 07 album. but word and thanks..i'll let my mom know it works with you, she gets home around 3:30 so anytime after that would be good, I think lighting should be fine around then too. but I'll get back to you again on the quality thing, I had to take some online pictures but my teacher said the pixels are a little small but they might work..i'll let you know again tomorrow.

Juan Gutierrez wrote at 2:50am which one is your pottery photo album?? I guess i can't find it. Yea i could probably do something on saturday. Thats the one thing i'm not sure how i'll do. I have a terrible computer at home, which is why i dont put up any of my pictures. Do you need the actual files or could they be put up online for viewing? Write on Juan's Wall - Delete

Peter Kang wrote at 1:07pm yesterday hey can you take a look at my photo album of the different pottery, and try and do something along the lines of that? I talked with my mom, she said that saturday at 4 she'll be at home and have all the pieces out, so that would be awesome if you took photos of everything. just make yourself at home and what not. what do you think is the best way to send the files tho? can you zip them or something?

Juan Gutierrez wrote at 3:28am yesterday haha thats pretty weird man. Yea man i'll be in minneapolis, i dont know if you heard but brady and I got a sweet house near dinkytown with a hot tub and a keggerator hhaha. Yea dude i could definately take some pictures of your work. I have an internship that i work at 5 days a week, 9 to 5 every day so i might be able to do it after that or on the weekends. I guess talk to your mom and see if she can work around that schedule... Write on Juan's Wall - Delete
