A toast to the douchebag(s)

Hey shnookums, let's get right to it.

 

So Idk how you guys feel about Kanye West as an individual, (I know I'm not his biggest fan) but Kanye West as an artist? This dude is pretty boss. His latest, 'Runaway', a mini movie premiered just days and I finally sat down to watch it. People, the man has done it again.

I've seen a lot of mixed reviews about 'Runaway' ranging from 'epic' to '30 minutes of WTF?!' I personally loved it. The cinematography, choreography and costuming was just stunning. Here's  a brief summary from MTV just to get everyone acquainted with what's going on.

"The film revolves around West crashing into a phoenix (a mythological bird played by Selita Ebanks), whom he carries away from the flames to nurse back to health and then teach the ways of our world. Songs featured in the film include "Monster," "Power," "Keep Calling," "All of the Lights," "Devil in a New Dress," "Lost in the World" and, of course, "Runaway."  

Got it? Good. For realz, set aside 30 mins, click full screen, and watch this ish. (Btw this is the clean version, it was the only version I could find with such high quality).

 * Here's a short interview with Kanye about the use of color throughout the video.

I just need to post this and then I can get my stuff done.

News and Announcements

On Friday October 1st, members of the Art Departmet, armed with artwork, sharpies, and poster board, took to the streets to get their message heard. Since the start of the whole room change fiasco at the beginning of semester, not one person from administration ever came to address the students. Fed up and tired, the students decided to address the administration and demand that the students of the Art Department be recognized as valid and present.

On Monday October 4th, exactly one business day after the protest, administration invited the students to have a meeting. As an attendee of that meeting, I can honestly say that I left with no hope of seeing much done to resolve this situation. In short, there was a lot of talking, but nothing was really said.

I have been refraining from posting about the mess at COB because sugar boogers, I just didn't know how to talk about it anymore. Thankfully, someone has managed to capture the feelings of frustration, confusion and a thick, strange sadness that has draped over the Art Department for seven weeks now. Thanks to Gio Swaby for a video that says what I just couldn't find the words for.
