So I decided that instead of studying I would <strong>do it<em>. </em></strong>The process took awhile, man. </p><p>I&#39;m a dumb-ass because I purchased BLOCK PRINTING INK and not the ink for FABRIC. What was I thinking -- I think I was blinded by the brand and instantly thought &#39;oh this is what I need&#39; when perusing Art Mart. So after my labors, and the design is on the shirt, I will never <em>ever</em> be able to wash it because the ink comes right off, and I&#39;m not exactly happy with the placement of the bird. </p><p>Thankfully this weekend I&#39;m heading to Columbia and picking up some proper ink, and a new white t-shirt and I&#39;ll do it again. Correctly this time, and maybe with a stencil instead of panty-hose because I feel that that was unneccesary to use and overly complicated. Next time I&#39;ll take pictures so I can show you all.<br /> </p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://nbeck.vox.com/library/post/im-kind-of-a-dumbass.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00c22521fab78e1d00cdf7e4e7a3094f?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> weekend dumb-ass silk-screen http://nbeck.vox.com/library/post/oh-you-know.html?_c=feed-rss-full nobody@vox.com(N.

I love this finding of good music. And the weather outside is wonderful and I shaved today and am getting a hair-cut tomorrow, and oh the excitement. </p><p>These things keep me from being too sad. That boy that I mentioned in the last blog didn&#39;t work out. He&#39;s not even sure he&#39;s gay, which is pretty hilarious. I don&#39;t know. Everything has just made me fed up with the pursuit. I&#39;m not going to search out the gay men, I&#39;m not going to instigate anymore. I am done! Yes. </p><p>I&#39;ve made a design for a t-shirt I&#39;m going to silk-screen. I&#39;m really, really excited about it. When it&#39;s finished I&#39;ll be sure to take pictures and show you all. Yahoo. </p><p>Okay, I have to get ready for class. Just a wee update -- hope everyone is well!<br /> </p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://nbeck.vox.com/library/post/oh-you-know.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00c22521fab78e1d00c2252d9a3e8e1d?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> new music silk-screen anti-romance
