Best Albums of 2009 and other stuff

Once again, it has been a while since I have written in here! And I do have news! I am an alumni of Broward College! I have my Associates of Arts Degree in Art/Graphic Design, and I didn't even know it! Apparently I graduated on 12/18/09 so its kind of cool to think I got it done before the decade was up. Now I have to apply to FAU, or somewhere I don't know. More on that later, here are my ten favorite albums that were released in 2009:

10. Dinosaur, Jr. - Farm
9. Mos Def - The Ecstatic
8. Yo La Tengo - Popular Songs
7. Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion
6. Raekwon - Only Built for Cuban Linx, Pt. II
5. Dan Deacon - Bromst
4. Doom - Born Like This
3. Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest
2. The Flaming Lips - Embryonic
1. Neko Case - Middle Cyclone

Yea, I know Neko Case being number 1 is kind of weird but that album really stood out to me. I listened to it the most by far, and I am most familiar with it. Therefore, it is number one.

I am still going to school at Broward College this semester even though I have graduated which I found out by logging into my BC account online to notice my status had changed to "Non-Degree Personal Enrichment". So I went to look at my transcripts to see what was up and it said I had graduated on the 18th. Anyway, I would have to go to school anyway this semester if I would want to keep my Bright Futures due to all the recent changes thanks to the fantastic of the American people and the government alike. So this semester I am taking Drawing 1 (mainly just to go over the basics), Beginning Printmaking (!), Intro to Philosophy, and Life Drawing (AGAIN!) I can't wait til we finally get started this coming week. We already have a model coming for life drawing, and are supposed to have 3 preliminary line sketches for printmaking for a potential print using plexi-glass!

And as for one last thing, I am going to California next Thursday to visit Allison and her family. We plan on going to San Francisco and doing the Alcatraz night tour, which I anticipate to be freaking awesome.

Lots to look forward to.

So until then!
