Day 3 Starving Artists

I cant believe I've made it 2 whole days without food! This must be a miracle!
Yesterday was rough. It was weird actually. I felt like I'd been smoking, Angela Chvarak mentioned "Several times I thought I was floating".
Like a hang-over, I have moments of feeling fine, like nothing was different, and moments of, 'oh no, I'm going to pass out!" I didn't pass out!
The weirdest part for me, was that all the time I was sitting down, painting, I felt dizzy, and weird, but the moment I got up, and walked around, worked on my Box Robot, I felt fine.
Seth Corts told us a story. He went to the gym yesterday morning. He said he started working out, and then, felt dizzy, and almost passed out, everything went black, then, when he came out of it, he threw up.
As for the paintings, well, I have to say, I'm having a HARD time concentrating. I had to force myself to finish my piece yesterday.
Bennett seems unaffected, his pieces are really cool, and he's working really hard.
Spike is having a hard time too, I think. Spike, as per usual, is defying all the rules! He worked on piece one, into day two, then started piece two, when I went home at 7pm last night. I'll see if he's finished that, I know he was exhausted!
Angela seems OK, I left while she was working, and Shelley and Jessica hadn't arrived yet. I plan to stay late tonight to talk with them, about their progress.
Seth moans and groans a little here and there, but, he seems to be as he is in every other show, quiet and focused!
Surprisingly, no one has caved yet. I said yesterday we'd lost two, but we actually only lost one. That one was due to sickness, not the starvation. To be honest, I expected us to have a drop out, especially this early, the first two days are the hardest..or so they say..so i HOPE!
I'm not sure how much weight I lost yesterday, my scales at the Kulture Klash warehouse. OK, it's 9am, now. I was up at 7, but i stayed in bed till 8. I went to bed at 10pm last night! I cant believe how tired I am. I can usually get up at 8am, and go full force till midnight/1am, then get up and do it all again. I'm REALLY hoping day three is good, so I can stay up all night tonight! I'm going to finish my painting AND my box robot! Joanna
