Edited in some NSFW tags into that link, sorry if anyone got fired in the meantime . Y'all ought to know better by now, guys.
Also based on who they gave the scholarships to, it feels more like that $30000 is just, you know, an advertising cost for them. Even if the program isn't all it's cracked up to be (and I'm not saying it is or isn't one way or another, because I don't know), they'll still end up looking good in the press by being able to post up alumni work that's excellent, because the students didn't really need much, if any, additional education to begin with.
I'd be a lot more interested to see the before and after pictures of the people that had to drop the best part of a year's salary in order to attend.

I am forced to conclude that my original conversational strategy of railing on about bullshit while the other participants are forced to endure my endless ranting in silence is the superior method.

They seem to be billing themselves as a finishing school. The only aspect teaching the actual fundamentals(by fundamentals I mean how to drawing and how to painting) is the next gen atelier taught be Carl Dobsky. The only reason I even wasted money on the application was thinking about the networking oppourtunites at a school run by massive black.. Im sure I wouldve learned new things and listened to a lot of stories about what its like to work in the industry.
A finishing school (or charm school) is defined as "a private school for girls that emphasizes training in cultural and social activities."
That would be awesome, "For $30000, you get the opportunity and privilege of some of the hottest artists in the entertainment industry to teach you formal table manners and prepare you for a life of being married to a wealthy baron!"
Also man talking with either of my parents on the phone is awkward- I never have anything of much interest to report, and to be honest, having a lot of issues resulting from how I was raised just makes me maintain a facade of politeness, while really I'm just waiting for them to say something remarkably insensitive so I have an excuse to give them both barrels. I really wish I had been raised by people that didn't respond to any challenge by either being dismissive or going fucking apeshit- some constructive social skills probably would have been a better thing to inherit than passive-aggressive tendencies and impotent rage.

Man don't fall into their trap. You know they've set something up and are just waiting for you to unload on them for some reason. Hell, being polite to them is probably driving them insane already and continuing to do it is just going to cause them to self-destruct eventually.
I don't know, if I inherited all my social skills from my parents I'd probably be even less popular than I already am. And at some point you just have to say 'my parent is a total jerk, fuck that', and never speak to them again. ie My dad! But when I do see me behaving in similar ways to my father I make a conscious effort to do the opposite.
Meanwhile talking to my Mum on the phone is pretty easy now. I make her laugh much more often than I used to, so it seems to be working.
I'm amazed how everyday I prove to myself that I'm an idiot...I just told a gay man that Lord Byron was a ladies man.
I got him mixed up with some other dude...
My mom is overly religious. I can't have a conversation without her going on about how the world is going to end.
"Hey mom, this milk is going bad."
"You know what else is going bad? This world we're living in. Its gone sour and clumpy."
J-P on

I used to have an aunt that "talked to god" and directly translated the word "magic" to "demon summoning" in her fat fucking head. She and her husband would break into our house while we were gone and eat all of our food, change the channel to the all-religious station, and hide anything with the word "magic" associated with it. They thought they were doing us a favor. Well, my uncle probably didn't, he just liked free food.
Oh look at me, I'm futureshops stupid website that says stupid may 15th for red dead redemption. But when Kochi goes to the store they'll be all, OOOH NO SORRY COMES OUT TOMORROW HOSER, then she'll go to two more stores and same story, because I'm a stupid release date that is totally wrong.

As witty as that sounds, she had a defense: First off, god told her that he'd reward us for feeding her.
In retrospect, considering the southern baptist god we worshipped at the time, the years of homelessness and unemployment were probably a fitting reward.
Strangely, though, the magic marker itself was fine to use, but the word "magic" on the box would cause her fits of prayer and sermons until she or someone else scratched out the word "magic" and wrote "jesus" over it.

Seeing as how she took religious advice from every tv evangelist that would point his pasty, bloated face at her, Tom Waits woud have been an improvement.
Actually, an improvement would have been some fucking thorazine to stop the voices, but lets be realistic here.
My first and only defense with dealing with overly-religious people is to stop them in their tracks right away, or just simply not talk at all.. I've yet to find any smoother way of handling it, and thankfully its not often it happens.

thanks, I'll remember to ignore her if she comes back from the dead and breaks into my house in order to eat all my food.

I hope I'm half as good as some of these people someday.
