BAcK from the land of nonline.

About a week i go I was sentenced by the higher-ups. THey determined that I've had too much net in my life. Lo and behold I was sentenced into the depths of the land of no online. I call it the land of nonline. I finally got my connection back up and running thursday and look at what I've missed.

Quake 4's release.
Wanda and he Colossus.
FEAR.
RE4.
AOE 3.
CIV 4.

I logged into gamespy that day and I felt like I've been cut off from the outside world for aeons.

And theres was jocelyn too.

Suprising, but not unexpected I guess.

Like I said. Behind you all the way.

A soft wind blows, and it feels like I did many things wrong this semester. Even more so than all the last semesters combined. Offended way more people. SAid way more shitty things. And did way too many things wrong. Perhaps it's a sign of maturity, or perhaps it's a sign of realizing stupidity too late. I'm not sure anymore. Our semester has 15 weeks. It's already week 13 and week 14's a holiday.

Time don't fuckin wait for nobody.

Then it's 3 months of holiday.
I promised myself I'd get work this time.

Hooray la.

A soft wind blows. James Blunt on winamp off bit torrent. A rare sunny day and I'm indoors. Missed chances and missed opportunities. Who's to give me a second chance? I believe in giving chances. It's just too bad the worldd does not. I believe we learn form our mistakes. Just too bad sometime's that one mistake is already too much.

Screw Love. Hello Carlsberg.

Women now have choices. They can be married, not married, have a job, not have a job, be married with children, unmarried with children. Men have the same choice we've always had: work, or prison.

Tim Allen.

Screw Life. Gimme something fresh.

Ending on a note about corpse bride. I liked it.

movie.

Sunway. Movie. Skeleton key.

Liked it.

Been a long time since I was scared in the cinema... the last time i think was ju-on2. Way back in last year. If it sounds like I'm saying that skeleton key was scary, then I'll clarify it's not. It is, a movie with some intriguing backstory, good acting, and like the review in the star said a few days back, 'a return to horror basics'.

I liked the fact that a minimal amount of special effects was used. Lately all the movies released are plagued with an overuse of special effects. It's nice to see a movie like this once in a while.

right.

gonna sleep now..
wake up early tomorrow.

sketch.

Some time ago we had a class presentation about our magazine redesign project, it was about comparing teo magazines, one local and one interantional, identifying the merits of both and coming up with a new magazine layout, cover, whatever. I got bored halfway through the presentations cause it really seemed like everyone is doing the same magazine, which was CLEO.

rrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiight.

To top it off, not only were they redesigning the same frickin magazine, they were saying the saem things about them too. One guy would be like "ok, CLEO here has too many sub headlines...." and the next guy would go "I think the sub heads are overused..." and the subheads would be 'cramped', 'too many', or any other deriviative word of the same nature. I took out my sketchbook and started drawing this thingy during the 2nd CLEO magazine redesign. Finished at the last CLEO magazine redesign. You'd think that studying in a college with the word creative in it's name the students would try to at least choose DIIFERENT FOOKIN TOPICS FOR ASSIGNMENTS. Anyway. Yeah.

I drew this entirely out of imagination and I'm pretty proud of it. haha. It's not finished but it's been sitting there collecting dust for a few weeks now. maybe I'll try to complete it soon.. with color even.(gasp!)

more to come tomorrow.

Specs.

The other day I noticed my friend elsen had an extra spectacle frame lying around. Being the extra nosy person that I am, and plus I was hyper at that time, I took them from him, and said that I was gonna try it out for a few days. Not that I need it, I have like perfect vision :).

Change of image I guess. Today(monday) was the first day that I tried them on to school and the look on everyone's face was just FRICKIN PRICLESS.

I walked out of the house and my friend standing over the side had his jaw down. In the class everyone looked at me like an animal in the zoo. I enjoyed the attention for a while I guess.

It will go down as one of the most memorable days of my life.

The first day I wore glasses. The frame of it at least. I think it makes me look more professional. Which is to say, less like an asshole and more like a nerd. I spent some 5 minutes or so looking at myself in the mirror. I think I can do with this new look.

SO I said to myself, let's try it on for a few days and see how this goes. So far for the first day feedback is mixed. Genrally those who wore contacts said they didn't like it, maybe cos they just didn't like glasses in the first place(which is probably the reason they traded glasses for contacts),and the others felt it was fine, being egotistical, I went around asking how this new look fit me. Pretty much got the answers I want out of them. :)

What can I say? It's a way to preserve your mental health. *laughter*. Magazine layout, cover and masthead due tomorrow.

Thursday

The middle of the week. My how time flies.

Finished Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy yesterday. yay. Ok graphics and a very good storyline. I'd suggest anyone with a PS2 to pick it up. You'll be hooked. I assure you.. or double your money back.

As i look around my room to think about what to write about....absolutely nothing springs into mind. It's always like that, wether it's with photoshop, illustrator, a canvas or even a blank piece of paper, it's very hard for me to capture THAT particular moment when everything was crystal clear and ready to go. It's like a bottle of champagne I guess. Shake it hard enough for long enough, everything spills out, sometimes too much, but that's what glasses and cups are for right?

Seems like most of the time I'm shaking this bottle of champagne, but for some reason or another I fail to give it that final stroke, that little wiggle, coz all the glasses and cups neede to fill all that good stuff is hidden somewhere under the bed, behind the closet or above the what-have-you-shit, and by the time I managed to get all the glasses and cups ready I forgot the ice. And so off again I go, and by the time I'm back the pressure in the bottle has gone and I can't seem to get it back up to that point, try as I may. Bloody shit. Wrong Place at the Wrong Time? Lousy ideas. coming at the wrong time in a blur. I hereby command thee to speak thy thoughts clearly and only when thou be needed.

Ah, the Life of a self-proclaimed-pseudo-artist.

Well I'm off, I owe some feelow called CK a number of sketches.. or rather one big drawing.. or whatever. I owe him something and if I don't pay him back soon I'm in deep shit. tata.

YES BABEH!!!!!!

This is just WAY too cool.

harvey danger releases album for FREE. FOREVER.

Free music. Well seeded bit torrent. Legal.
Man I can't contain my excitement. What if this takes off.... man just think of the possibilities.
If this actually works, man... the world's a better place. A small step in liberating the world from greed. And people have trouble comprehending why my passion is art.

This is also, WAY cool.


And so is this.

The 30 day artist.

And since I'm on a roll, here ya go.
