faking gold.

posting this everywhere, because i didn't think i would actually make the deadline this year :D

Threshold.

Day 127 of my 365 Project.
the prompt on one of the flickr communities i follow is "Dreams of Flying", inspired by the style of photographer Jan Von Holleben.
it is also Guitar Tuesday, a personal challenge i've incorporated into my P365.
i decided to go a little outside of the box by doing another jumpology shot, having achieved my first one back on Day 119, which was thrilling and made me want to do it again (because i am a huge geek.). And, after all, jumping is kind of like flying, right?
altho i was planning on jumping on my bed with my acoustic guitar, which i do not have a strap for. ...yeah, i'm brilliant, aren't i?

test shot, to make sure my ghetto tripod (a box on top of my dresser.) was tall enough to capture roughly all my body in the shot.

a shot i got on the second try, which i liked, but i didn't want my feet touching the frame of the photo, i wanted there to be negative space beneath me so the levitation was really clear. so, again!:

the runner-up shot, taken a few takes after the winner:

final shot of the day. cheers.

burn it up on this hypnotic dancefloor.

Anime Conventions.
I go to them :D

did you see it in my heart?

It has been a while, I know. I’m working on creating a regular blogging schedule as I balance internships and personal work.

And now, even though it has been out for a while, I’m pimping one of my favorite Asian artists—say hello to BoA, and her self-titled English-debut CD!!

BoA – BoA (at Amazon.ca)

For a preview, here are the music videos for the first two singles:





For those who know me, they know I have this massive celebrity-crush on BoA :D
Therefore, this CD has been on rather constant repeat. My other favorites from the CD are “Scream” and “Hypnotic Dancefloor”

inner voice: that’s nice. Now back to work!

…k.

you're on candid camera (not.)

Dear GOD, why has no one ever told me how annoying my voice is??

i have changed, just like you.

OKAY. JUST BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN ON CONSTANT REPEAT FOR THE PAST THREE DAYS.

The theme from Mirror's Edge "Still Alive" by Lisa Miskovsky:


AND. AND. AND. JUST BECAUSE IT MAKES MY BRAIN EXPLODE:

In-game footage from Mirror's Edge:

It looks so freaking amazing. SO FREAKING AMAZING. But I would probably die if I tried playing it. A lot. A LOT. And get really worked up as I tried not to die. A lot. And curse at the TV and the game consol and the characters shooting at me. A lot.

A Text Conversation.

Akki: It is Silent Hill at the back of the store...
Me: Decomposing nurses and barbed wire?
Akki: Halogen lights and metal wiring with eerie ghost creaks and a haunted tap.
Me: That was going to be my next guess.
Akki: It scares meeee... :<
Me: Don't you have your cross?
Akki: 10.30 shift. I forgot it in a state of sleepiness.
Me: Baka. Sometimes I wear my pentacle, my ankh, and my cross, just to have all my bases covered.
Akki: Pft, in case you run into a demonic Celtic mummy?
Me: But of course.

<3

everything's so blurry

Maybe it's because so many of my friends are gamers (just calling it like it is, dudes), but I found the video massively amusing and true. I really like how the art director used a man for the "main character". And some of the avatars are just so cute!

And in other things that have caught my attention (like it's so hard):

Imagine being so together that you can create an annual report for yourself :D
I want to do this. One day. Year. Whatever. Because, as we have said before, I am a graphic design NERD.
Nerd in general, graphic designer on the side.

(and, if you're a nerd like me:

here's something to get you started on your own annual report recordings.)

Midterms are next week. Look forward to angst-filled posts starting...in the next few days. Although by going to school on my days off, I have been able to effectively brainwash myself into thinking I've accomplished a lot. (hahaha, seriously? I know, right?)

Inner Voice: Go draw stuff, bitch.

...Inner Voice is right. Going to work on illlustrations for Senior Project now (gah, I need to start posting those and spread the...messed-up-ness of my mind).
Later, later later. (procrastinators of the world unite!...Tomorrow.)

Ah, on an ending note, I have no idea where I saw this (either in a magazine, on a stamp on devART, or an icon on livejournal):

1. social life
2. sufficient sleep
3. good grades

Pick any two. Welcome to college.

(LOL)
