Monies.

I managed to spend 400 dollars before noon. Stuff like that doesn’t happen too often. Ended up with new glasses and a new front tooth though, so stuff like that works out.

Here’s some more of the photo-manip I’ve done lately:

COLOUR

I liked how the window frames each of the main elements of the picture. Here’s the original photo for comparison.

School starts monday, but the bastards haven’t given me my schedule yet. Grr.

Creative Depression

I’m really kinda bummed because I haven’t been able to create anything lately.

Not *too* bummed, but bummed enough to make a post about it. Can you give me an artistic challenge? Something that will take a few hours to do. I’m flexible, so the medium of the challenge can be pretty much anything.

Examples:

  • Make me an LiveJournal icon!
  • Take 8 consecutive photos and post them without any sort of digital modification.
  • Illustrate a paragraph from your favorite book.
  • Create a sculpture from found objects.
  • Make a 30 second feature film.
  • Code a program that generates a random image.

Please suggest something! If I accept your challenge, I’ll have it done within 48 hours.

Missing Hana-hana

My girlfriend is like a bajillion miles away in Peru on vacation with her mother. I just got a wonderful e-mail from her. An excerpt

¡Fergus! […]

The keyboard I’m using right now would make you crazy. Everything is moved around. It took me 5 minutes just to figure out how to get the @ symbol. I’m having a great time […]

Tomorrow we go to cuzco! I love you, Fergus. Hug your sister for me, will you? ^_^

Cariñosamente (affectionately),
your very own personal Hannah

I really, really do miss her. Glad to hear she is having a good time, but I can’t wait her to get back.

In other news, the MIT Media Laboratory is doing a study of weblogs, if you have one (yes, that includes LiveJournal), take a few minutes and fill out the survey. At the end you get a fun comparison of your blogging habits compared to everyone else who took the survey. Take a look:

And to finish everything up, have a few mindlessly cute pictures of animals:
