This is a picture up on our wall which uses generous amounts of oil paint to create an interesting texture to the painting. They were painted by Eric Oliver, an artist who came through Missoula and put out his works at the People's Art Market which is opened in the spring, summer, and fall in a street they close down town. It's fun to visit there, and easy to purchase a booth to sell your own art.

The grizzly bear is a school emblem for the University of Montana in Missoula. You can see the main campus building in the background under the trail up to the "M" where I hiked just a few days earlier. I tried to visit "The Code Trip", which is a large RV full of computer equipment that Microsoft is sending across the U.S. to do demos and things. I only caught a few seconds of the presentation before, but I caught this picture on my way through campus. A band is playing under the white umbrella under the clock tower for hunger awareness week.

Gas is hella expensive. It is almost $4 a gallon. I wish it was like 1998 when a gallon of gas was like $1.50. I remember when people were trippin' out because gas was going to hit $2. I miss those days.

My coworker accidentally stated her Facebook birthday was this week. Her actual birthday is in September. I messaged her happy birthday, and she was like "What are you talking about?" I then showed her the snapshot of that Facebook was telling everyone it is her birthday. So my boss is also on Facebook and bought a cake for a celebration. Thus we had delicious mango mouse cake from Sogo Chinese bakery for an afternoon break for a fake Facebook birthday. It was good times. There is white and milk chocolate around the edge. And there was actual mangos inside the cake. Mmmmm mangos... Anyways day 103 is now complete!

I went to Ryowa, Japanese ramen place in downtown Mountain View. This is the butter corn ramen with extra vegetables. This place really hits the spot for me. I like this ramen place a lot. I probably have gone at least once a month to this place. It is typically very busy and the seating is consisted of to big U shaped tables. Seating is a first come first serve and you basically feel like you are eating with strangers. Anyways, I really enjoy eating ramen at Ryowa.

I love this dunk on Kirilenko. Baron's gritty face shows so much determination to overcome the big Russian. I don't know, but this is a really challenging piece for me. MY teacher is not talking/suggesting anything to me about this piece. She is just waiting till I complete the design to make corrections and what not. It is a challenging difficult piece, because I don't typically paint a lot of actions on paintings. They are typically static pieces or portraits. Anyways, I love this dunk. It symbolizes Bay Area basketball's triumph and comeback from years of terrible Warrior teams in the past 14 years. This dunk signified BDiddy's bravado, athleticism, and pure strength. Anyways, it is unfinished, but I love working on it. I think I will miss working on it when it is done.
