Wowww soooo longggggggggggggggggg

 well whatever not like anyone missed me on the bloggeries.

 Just some updates on whats up in the land of Mel.

First is that you can vote for / buy my submission to the Rochester Contemporary Art Centers Project 6X6X2011 Right HERE!!! All the proceeds are funds raised for the center. You can vote everyday and the top 3 get cash prizes.

|ALSO

I made some stickers for a project I participated in last year "Stick On Haring" put together in Italy by this awesome artist Stelleconfuse. This project is a homage to my favourite artist Keith Haring <3 .

so here are the main ones I'll be sending over for the Stick on Haring project you can also find them on my flickr :

ok so yeah thats about it for now. I mean there are a few other things that I want to talk about and am excited for (<3) but I'll leave that for another post.


see ya micheal. yeah. see ya billy,

Mel

Stuffss ... cool

heyyyyyyyyyyyyy

so its been busy as shit lately. theres a few things i guess i should put up on my blog.

ok firstly heres a photo of my submission to 6X6X2011. I've talked about it previously, its this rad annual project the Rochester Contemporary Art Center puts on for fundraising . I really hope my submission gets sold and makes some money for them. I wont talk much more about it on this blog but you can learn more about it at thier 6X6 site or on my 6X6X2011 blog entry.

My school experienced a bombthreat right in the middle of one of my exams. yeah. it was a barrel of laughs. expecially since i was almost finished my exam and the prof made it one I could actually pass. Also it was super awesome having to wait outside in the rain for 45 minutes to learn that it was canceled and would be rescheduled...

but yeah im really pissed off about this. it not only extends my time in school for the year, but I already was scheduled to work on the day im supposed to have my new exam... so yeah woo.

oh yeah one other thing I guess is worth mentioning is that I saw a charlie scheen performance when he came to toronto..... Please keep reading I didnt pay for the ticket, my cousin had an extra one and he kindly invited me along.

I guess it was fun in a way because i got to hang out with my cousin... but in a larger lamer way the show felt so unprofessional and just like Russel Peters was just pulling shit out of his ass to ask Charlie Sheen. And what made me feel shame is that everyone else ate that shit up. like I wasn't getting it. like i wish i understood what was so great and what warranted the cheers after the short 1hour show that ended with a showing of a Snoop dog music video....

someone should explain it to me. Its not like I havent enjoyed his other interviews of him being messed the shit up... or not like i've not found a vice in his ustream videos...

ok.. well bye.

Mels

There's just this thing about ya...

Heres some drawings I did on faces and random people. They're pretty fun. Expecially to do on the subway.

but yeah they're all not rad.

I feel so barf.

I don't wanna be an ass. I think I am sometimes. Sorry.

Livin' For your love - Melba Moore

Melba Moore is my favourite. I love her so much. Some of her songs could make me tear up. They're fun and rad and have so much soul. I love how she was such a force of funk and also a woman, but I don't love her for being a woman. Her music is too awesome to attach just to her gender. One time she emailed me back from me sending her a fangirl message. haha it made me almost cry.

To Melba:

"hello Ms.Moore.
I just wanted to tell you how much your music means to me. Really after this hard year its been the thing thats kept me going and made me even more a fan of funk music. Even being 23 and listening to them its like the freshest thing I've ever heard.

every new song I find I enjoy more than the last. Loving your music has become part of my identity really... that sounds weird but its true.

thank you so much,

Melissa B"

from Melba: 

"Melissa yes i read my own mail its me sweetheart lol

Bless you love Melba Moore"

 can you believe that melba LOL'd me? hahahha wow. I suck. But Melba rules... *Sigh*.


For some reason Blogger isn't letting me stop typing in italics.... sooo... i guess we both have to bear it...


Ok Ill stop just rambling about everything that comes to my head now.

Hope all is well,


Mels

Stelleconfuse (Ita) Vs Melissa B (Can)

Heres a collaboration I did with Stelleconfuse for his Plant a tree project. All I did was draw in his design and he made it rad. COOL!

Can someone tell me something? I'm bored. I was up since 3 from doing a lab report.... totally my fault but yeah I got It done and I think I did pretty well.


I'm going to see a pre screening of Monsters tonight with a 2 of my sisters and maybe one of my sisters friend. It looks pretty dumb so maybe it will surprise me... but probably not. I'll tell you if it was good.

ok later,

Mels



EDIT:

Surprise! MONSTERS SUCKED. ew my low expectations weren't even reached. some of the shots were beautiful but yeah, soooo boring... you'd expect a movie about monsters to have monsters in it for more than 10 minutes of the movie... Mostly It was about the surprise relationship these two people build while fleeing monster filled Mexico to America.... so many things don't make sense at all. I don't want to give too much of it away but really there isn't secret or plot twist to spoil so I guess I'm good. I thought the main actor was great and funny. I believed what he was selling me for the most part. As for the main actress... wow... most of her serious scenes I nervously laughed.... I'm sure they're beautiful girls who are also great actresses out there... somewhere (everywhere)

But yeah... the movie was not scary at all, nor was it thrilling in any capacity... the scariest part was when (spoiler) This old crazy woman toting a cart stared at the camera for a while then randomly yelled and walked away trailing off saying "three blind mice" honestly... that was the scariest part... and really, it was just funny.

Probably people who like this movie think I'm too stupid to get it... but I dont think so... it was a pretty simple movie... the starting is really the forseen ending and they die... The monsters use radiowaves or television radiation for energy, and communicate with light..... I don't know whatelse there is to get. If its the chemistry between the main actors.... yes you're right I didn't get that.

Don't get me wrong there were some funny parts in the movie, but that just made it seem like that was just an intro for the action that never came. I think due to the waiting around for all the action the movie seemed longer than it was... it felt super long,

Ok so yeah... Monsters sucked....Goodnight.... bye.... Mels....
