A different color or pattern was used for each side. i painted an eye with a heart for a pupil because of the many discussions and ideas we had in class about the symbol of the eye, memories, identity, and emotions. p.s. i'm sorry i posted this late. my creative project was a painting. i painted using acrylics on a cigar box. i used a box because, in my mind, it symbolized women. specifically, it represented pris and zhora in Blade Runner. the outside was black with red lettering that read “basic open-close model,” remincscent of Pris’ “basic pleasure model”. the outside was plain because the paint was not supposed to distract from the box’s obviously useful function. on the inside of the box i used bright colors.

Basically, I just think of going out with friend Gina after I pick her up from work to watch movies at my house and drink a couple of beers or something. Usually we would watch Friends or some movie of my choosing. 2. “Only in Dreams” – Weezer This song reminds me of not being able to talk to the girl that I liked because of my own silly insecurities…still to this day! Also, this reminds me of the nervous feeling I had when I told my friend Gina how I really felt about her. Lame sappy stuff. 3. “Ever Fallen in Love” – Buzzcocks This is just a fun song for me. It reminds of a friend of mine, Diane, from back home who I am attracted to but things would never work out because we know each other too well. 4. “You Vandal” – Saves the Day This song reminds me of 10th grade and going to shows with my friends. I really miss those days. 5. “First Day of My Life” – Bright Eyes It reminds me of the feeling of figuring out what I’ve really wanted has been near me all along. 6. “Cute Without the ‘E’ (Cut From The Team)” – Taking Back Sunday I think of freshmen year of college, my old roommate, and the movie Fight Club whenever I hear this song. The music video is a lot like Fight Club and my old roommate Sam and I learned how to play this and just had a lot of fun with it. 7. “Dreaming of You” – The Coral I think of the Christmas episode of Scrubs. 8. “Falling For You” – Weezer This song pretty much describes again my insecurities and my inability to tell people how I feel. 9. “Stellar” – Incubus I went to see them live a few years back with my brother and it was just so much fun. That was one of the first times I think he saw me more than just his little brother but also sort of a peer I guess. 10. “Nothing Gets Crossed Out” – Bright Eyes This is my favorite Bright Eyes song. I just want to sit and listen to it with Gina. 11. “A Decade Under the Influence” – Taking Back Sunday Sam and I have a great acoustic version of this song and just good times using this to impress any girls that came by our house at parties. Damn, that’s just terrible. 12. “New Slang” – The Shins Natalie Portman. 13. “Crooked Teeth” – Death Cab For Cutie Missed opportunities. 14. “Action and Action” – The Get Up Kids This song is just what high school was. This reminds me of my friend Jeff who introduced me to The Get Up Kids and all of the music that comes from the Midwest. 15. “Aneurysm” – Nirvana My 14th birthday right before 9th grade I had my friends over and my friend Richard bought me this CD. We played basketball at my party and my brother almost beat the crap out of my friends for fun. 16. “The One You Want” – The Get Up Kids I think of a recent time I had with a friend of mine where I actually thought I liked her but turns out I honestly didn’t and really liked my other friend Gina. 17. “Kiss Me” – Six Pence None the Richer Rachel Leigh Cook. She’s too adorable for words. How lame is it that this song made it to the last few I listened to. Damn. 18. “Movie Script Ending” – Death Cab For Cutie I only hear this song when I’m driving. 19. “I’m the One” – Descendents Basically my role in life is what this song describes. 20. “Longtime Sunshine” – Weezer This is the life I want except for the whole driving with my eyes shut deal.

Music Associated Memories
The idea for my project came from my friend Gina while we were sitting in my car in some parking lot which we tend to do a great deal when I go back home to Whittier.

It's supposed to be the year 2051, when robots exist but they dont seem to help us out the way we want them too because they seem to have "feelings". A golem, in the other hand, does not have speech, so when you try to turn him back to dust he wont ask you "Why do I have to leave?" I also made a brochure that informs you about the golem and the instructions on making one. In the year 2051, robots do not want to get "turned off" and want to live. A golem has no speech and that's one of the reasons why he is sold alot. I took a picture of the golem but I wasn't able to transfer it from my phone to my email, I think I need internet in my phone.
