this is nice. both the song and video.

four exams down, one to go.

i've had this movie on my "to watch" list for a while, but i haven't gotten around to it yet. think the cinematography looks amazing



in other news, my phrase of the day "i should be studying". but i just can't anymore. my brain is fried. i'm definitely not as prepared as i should be for my midterm tomorrow. i did a flashcard test and got maybe 50% of the titles. and i need to know a hell of a lot more than that. hmm. my brain hurts from learning.
we'll just wait and see how i do i suppose.
i think i did fine on my other three exams so far. two more to go.

gettin excited. this is the costume i'm workin with.

i'm going to smile. and this one's for you.

psssst.

i said psssssSSSST.

wanna know a secret?....

sometimes i get really excited about my future.
i think things are going to get better.
and i think things will be exciting.
i'm hopeful.


it seems i'm an optimist.

i'm taking a frustration break. headaches have ensued. i think i know the gist of some of the modern and contemporary artists i'll have to write about in my exam. at least two of the questions are essay questions so i can bullshit a bit. i'm gonna keep studying tomorrow morning. my brain is bored of studying.

i had another really strange dream. a bunch of things happened, some scary things, but the only part i remember is this:
i was at some strange house in the middle of nowhere. and i wanted to get out of it. i found my friend lena and we were in the kitchen. i discovered a secret passage way that if you crawled through this cooler/cupboard you would be out of the house and right at the entrance of the forest that was a good 60ft from the house. we both crawled through and started making our way across a field to go to a play. it was raining and as we got closer to the playhouse we realised that the playhouse was tiny. we figured out that the rain made us grow really big. i lifted of the roof of the playhouse to see if we were late for the play. inside were a bunch of those little yellow marshmallow chicks. the play had started and i still wanted to go see it, so we tried to think of something very tiny we could eat to make us shrink back to normal size. then i made a crude joke (i'm not going to type it, even though i remember. i remember when i woke up thinking how witty it was lol, it still makes me smile). either way somehow we got back to normal size. that's all i remember about that part.
at some point in the dream i had a donkey named jenny (who looked like a small grey/white horse but apparently was a donkey) and we were best friends. i don't remember if she could talk or not. either way some bad person had captured her and was telling her that i left her on purpose, but then i saved her and i was hugging her face telling her how much i loved her and i was sorry that she got taken.


my dreams have been even stranger than usual lately just because i can't decode any of them!

perpetuum mobile - penguin cafe orchestra

this song reminds me of dreams and really beautiful, love depicting, epic feeling scenes from films.

this is what i'm listening to right now. i wish i'd gone to see tv on the radio when they were here a few months ago, but for whatever reason at the time i couldn't.

speaking of no time and not being able to do fun things...i have 3 midterms this week and pretty much only the day before each of them to actually get any studying done. i'm freaking out just a tad. awesome. i was going over my review for my modern-contemporary art history course. holy crap. my prof is awful. half the slides i'm looking up she's never shown to us or talked about. also, the majority of the images she that she wants us to identify the artist/title/date for, she has spelt wrong on the review and has the wrong titles for. also, she references "wikipedia" and "google" along with text books that weren't on our booklist and have never looked at. fuck. oh also, the exam is worth 40%.
the class would be interesting if she wasn't teaching it. i'm so frustrated with it. i'd drop it if i didn't need it as a prerequisite for a course i need for my major. note to my prof: geoffrey and godfrey....not the same name.

completely different

i don't like this song as a whole, but then i really like bits of it. the bits that sound like the first 30 seconds.


worm mountain - flaming lips. this reminds me of something really awesome that i went to once.


speaking of really awesome. i'm getting the bits of my costume together for halloween and i think it'l be great. pretty homemade looking but whatever.
also awesome, i think i'm going to a short film movie massacre on saturday with a friend. you're supposed to dress up. he says he might go as edward norton in fight club. i might go as a boy. basically just an excuse to draw a moustache on my face.

edit: i think i like the first song "the beat stuff" because the bits i like sound a bit like here comes the sun by the beatles.

dream team

(haha, as if i actually found a picture of this...)
last nights dream time adventure:

i wanted to decorate an ice cream cake. i decided i wanted to draw a giraffe on it. so i hopped into the car and took the perimeter to sobey's to buy a cake and the decoration stuff. on the way there i got a speeding ticket from a red light camera. i was really worried how i was going to pay for it since i already have one that i owe money for. after i get to sobey's i find that they don't have any ice cream cake so i start walking home. now it's a really nice hot summer day. i'm walking past a fence when this girl i have a class with recognizes me and asks if i want to hang out. so now we're suntanning and chatting in her backyard. we look up at her fence (which has one section that's about 20 feet high) and there's a turtle walking on top nearing the edge of the tall part of the fence. the turtle just keeps on walking and falls down onto the grass. we go look at it to see if it's ok. it hides in it's shell which is covered with gems. all of a sudden the turtle is really small, about the size of a large walnut. it snaps it's shell shut on our fingers so we drop it into the grass. now there's a bunch of people in her backyard and one is this guy we both know (he looks nothing like how he actually does in real life). him and i are talking about a bunch of things and he asks when i got my lip piercing, i ask him about his (in real life he doesn't have one), and then we discover that we both decided we wanted one when we were in grade 9 because one of the guys from blink 182 had it and we thought it was sexy. the backyard party is over and i realize i still need to find an ice cream cake. i start driving to DQ but then i realise all the stores are closed. i get home and my mom has already decorated an ice cream cake. it's really ugly. she just squeezed a bunch of icing tubes of orange and black icing all over it and made a mess in the kitchen. then i woke up.

weird. extra weird, when i woke up from that dream, my dad was cleaning out the freezer of leftovers and things and goes "hey look, there's a piece of ice cream cake back here!"
dun dun duuuuuuh.



also, i'm really excited about halloween and my costume. my friend lent be some combat boots to wear...the only thing is they're platform shoes and when i put them on i'm 6'2. so i don't think i'll be wearing those lol, although they really are comfy.

the other day i was stopping at walmart to pick up some vitamins and this exact thing happened to me. except it wasn't funny, it was scary. and there was two of them. and they followed me into walmart, to the pharmacy. then while i talked to the pharmacist they kept watching me and stalking me through the isles. as soon as the pharmacist left my side, i got attacked "with the can i have your number?" the pharmacist was going to call security so they would leave me alone, but i tried to handle it myself first, and after trying to be nice, but them not giving up, i ended up just saying "i said NO!" and then booked it.

i know i just posted this one below in the a is for art post...but i just had to say how much i like this painting. i love the colors, and how soft and delicate both figures look. and his wings! look at those wings!

i think this is beautiful.
unfortunately i'm not sure who this is by though i could guess the era it's from.

c is for cute/cool/creative/consonants/clutter

b is for boys

(p.s: this is my 400th post.)

a is for art

(the original that the picture above is mimicking. i wnat to say it's by rembrandt, but i'm not 100% sure)

goldn brown - the stranglers

one of the songs that has seduced me for the moment.

music for a night like the movies

i want to dance in slow motion to this song in the dark at a party with everyone else on mute


this song would play as we drove home from the party. we're driving on an empty road withe prairie fields all around us. every one's quiet, the sun is just starting to come up. we look at each other and smile.


this one's for the girl who wakes up in bed after the party, without her boyfriend beside her. she gets up, leaves her house, and walks home barefoot.

i made this.


and this.
ya they kind of sound a like, buut i like them.

fun site, check it out.

new life goal:

after school, see new york.
experience new years eve in new york city.

my sister's been raving over how i met your mother for over a year and i've seen some episodes here and there and i admit, it's cute. she lent me the first season and i've just watched an embarrassing amount in one sitting. it's FANTASTIC. there's all these inside jokes carried over from previous episodes, so watching it from the beginning makes the show 10 times better. if you're looking for something new to get addicted to, i'd say check this out. hmv's got the first 3 seasons on sale for $19.99.


also lily and marshal are super funny. jason segel remains awesome in my books. LOVE HIM.

i'm really feeling neutral milk hotel these past few months.

(lol sorry, this was the only video i could find with decent sound quality)
