Creative writing club and Sturgeon Production
I’ve spent a number of hours working to cut the booklet sized pages in half so that they may be bound by the spiral binder thingy{a technical term, by your dear droog truly} with the bells and the whistles awaiting Allie Pendergast’s and my finishing this initial step of production. I have spent after school, study halls and lunch breaks working on an enormous box of papers organized 1, 32, 31, 2, so that the double sided pages fit together. Id not realized how similar this was to the production of my own publications which are hand drawn and so to see this device of organization used in such an unfamiliar setting was very comforting to me. As much as I call the work to eliminate that dreadful stack taxing, I can hardly take credit from my phantom partner who alternates with me in duties due to our conveniently coordinated schedule.
The creative writing venture on this matter, hasn’t actually occurred in quite some time, due to absences, acts of god and other phenomenon beyond Mr. Arcenas’ control. Oh well, fancy that. This upcoming Thursday though, he hopes to meet, and maybe even discuss my piece.
Sequential Art Club
This thread has been quiet for a while. That is because I learned this powerful technique recently from a dying breed of ninja monks in Tibet who coincidently invented the waffle iron. It is called strategizing. Ive been getting my ducks in a row and reaching out to people and peeps alike in order to estimate my number of active club members. So far, ive a few seniors, some sophomores and maybe a girl… freshman I mean. Its funny, because of the stereotyped reader…
…tough crowd. Mhm
Okay, so we’ve got that down packed, there is a need for me to get these folks to know eachother so that they can coordinate if their projects are collaborative and because its fun. I want to do this little notesheet thing with folks they like, statements, things like that just to make some folks smile, and so that they can bond in this stage. Some of the more cynical ones I know better, and it might be a stretch getting them to play along. Oh well.
I talked it over with Mrs. Klaiber and on Monday the first we will attempt another meet. This time I really hope she doesn’t bring brownies… that would just kill me, emotionally, and then from the sugar.
Like I said before, address the goals, the resources and the comic-con in May? Is it in May? I think it’s in May… we can call it may. Sigh. We’re getting somewhere though.
Hiking club
I seriously have need to talk to Mr. Patterson, as I have not yet paid my membership fee of 11 dollars, and have not yet gotten approval from my doctor to commit to ten mile hikes, on or off road. It is a shame because I enjoyed it so much, but I cannot say how long my injury will keep me from this
Bull crew
I managed to participate in the set up of the church basement for the junior class’s MEFA presentation on Tuesday aft and dismantled it on Wednesday morning. Financial Aid is crucial into college attendance, and without it, I could not go. This I know. This I trust.

creative writing club feb 4, 2010

yesterday after my absence the previous week (i was ill last thursday) and we read a short poem by one of the underclassmen, which was more of a treat than anything because of her knowledgable use of sound (alliteration and such) and similie, which gave the poem a very rhythmic and esoterical composition. it was trisected into 3 stanzas and the tone shifts, which coincides with the nautical imagery which gave me the impression of being rocked by the waves. i may have mentioned its aptitude for being a tom waites song, but that is insignificant... it was a learning experience because i can see how it might behoove me to pay more attention to my sounds when i write...

SEQUENTIAL ART CLUB 1

so on monday, mrs. klaiber and i were all ready to rumble... she came in on her day off and brought brownies to help with the atmosphere of the introductory meeting... and nobody came. the formality was scattered to the winds and we spent lunch talking to my friend pike who joined me for support.
however, informally i have been addressed by six individuals interested with the club, and so i have been considering my options for how to approach the topics of the april comicon and initiating projects and an analysis of texts. i have at my disposal a 1981 copy of the smithsonian book of comic book comics, which i think has some really excellant examples of the origins of american comics.
on the other hand, i'd really like to hear about what people want to do, and so i should address that the next time we meet. i still have yet to discuss this with mrs. klaiber.
