Art Institute Responds! Part II
Well, it’s been a week, and Melinda Lester from The Art Institute of California - Orange County has written me back once again. Still, I’ve received no solid answers but perhaps something better: a meeting with the Art Institute President, Greg J. Marick. From what I can see in the email, via the “Cc:” line, a copy of my letter was also sent to two other people. After a...

I like google...
They have a sense of humor.
Either that or their lingo is really outdated.

Art Institute Responds!
I almost can’t believe I’ve received a response from the Art Institute. Albeit a “we’ll get back to you soon,” response, it’s still more than I thought I’d get, especially this quickly.
Hi Alex,
I am reviewing your case and have contacted various departments that would have the information I need to get all the answers for you. Unfortunately I...

My Struggles With The Art Institute
If you’ve ever heard me talk about my experience with the Art Institute of Orange County, you’ll know I don’t think too kindly of them. This post will explain why. Below is a letter I’ve just written to Melinda Lester, Dean of Academic Affairs:
Melinda Lester,
My name is Alex Bellamey and I am a former Art Institute of Orange County student. I came to the Art Institute...
Out With the Old, In With the New
Today, I’m going to head down to SamAsh Music Store and see how much I can get for my Korg TR88 Workstation (pictured above) and put that money toward a new Canon EOS 7D (pictured below).
It’s kind of a bittersweet feeling, but I can’t really justify hanging on to it. I hardly use it, and don’t use half of what it can do. (It came with not one, but TWO user manuals,...

This made my night.
I was talking to a group of guests tonight while working Fantasmic. They were really nice and fun to talk to and we had a good time while they were waiting for the 9 o’clock show. I love it when people are just NICE. Anyway, the first Fantasmic show ended up being canceled, which made me feel really bad. (Like it normally does.) I mean, people do spend a lot of time waiting for the...

I need to rethink my creative process...
I don’t know what it is lately, but I’ve been dying to write a song. Just one fucking song that I’d be happy with. Yet every time I sit down to do it, I don’t feel the inspiration. Sitting in front of a keyboard and playing around with different synths, sounds, and whatnot is more of a distraction than anything else.
I need to rethink my creative process.
It’s kind...
