The End. Shuffle over.

Been a while since I've done much on here besides look at other people's work and read their journals.

School's back in session, I should be able to survive this semester intact, and what do you know - I'm arting again. (I can hear you going "duh" out there.)

I've got lots of pictures from Vienna (from back in May/June!) but I have yet to go through and pick out properly artistic ones. I promise I'll do that eventually.

The prints I put up today are all outside of classwork, thus why there's not as much information as I normally provide. I think the black figure and white moon will continue to show up for a while as I experiment further. Sorrow, for example, was me trying to convey a particular mood through the print, not just making it in a progression like my earlier moon prints.

I'm starting to wonder if I should order more linoleum. I do still have three 6" square blocks left and no, I'm not intending to make Sorrow into a series with them.

I also wonder if it's strange that, though I am a graphic designer, all the art I do on my own is off the computer. I love working on the computer and the polished look my finished pieces have, but when I want to just make something, it's always a physical thing, not moving a mouse around but holding a pencil over paper and such.

Then again, I've been told that as a designer, it's a great thing to have other media in your portfolio, so I'm almost certain Sorrow will be in there next semester.

That's probably enough rambling for now.

Stolen from . It's come up in discussion recently, so I found it appropriate enough to appropriate. >D

RULES:
1. Put your music player on shuffle.
2. Press forward for each question.
3. Use the song title as the answer to the question even if it doesn’t make sense. NO CHEATING!
4. Bold the questions and with the answers, give your own comments on how it relates to the questions.

1. How are you feeling today?
Precipe, Bear McCreary, Battlestar Galactica Season 3
Errrrr...I have Star Trek on my mind? Does that even really relate?

2. Will you get far in life?
The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, Lemon Demon
*blink* I guess that's a good omen? o.o;

3. How do your friends see you?
Final Showdown, Maya Rudolph & Rupert Everett, Shrek the Third
I really hope people don't see me as an overly dramatic selfish idiot. -.-;

4. Will you get married?
Gil-Shallos, Leslie Fish & Ernie Mansfield, Magic, Moondust and Melancholy
*giggle* This is HILARIOUS. The girl in this song reflects on how she didn't marry a doctor like her parents wanted, and ended up in a different world, as a warrior maid, in love with a wizard at least half again her age. So, this song coming up for this question makes me giggle and supports my alternate worlds, alternate realities theory.

5. What is your best friend's theme song?
Mulan's Decision (Score)
Hmmm...I do think that works, particularly the instrumental with Oriental tones.

6. What is the story of your life?
Ahavat Olam, Debbie Friedman, Songs of the Spirit
*shrug* I'd say that my religion is important to me, so I guess it works.

7. What was highschool like?
Beyond the Sunset, Blackmore's Night, Under a Violet Moon
Hmmm...soothing instrumental. Yeah, I guess I did kinda coast through for the most part with few real impacts.

8. How can you get ahead in life?
Me and Bobby McGee, Janis Joplin, Watchmen
...is this telling me to become a musician? A traveller? To sleep with someone? DX

9. What is the best thing about your friends?
Defeat you Red Dragon, Dragon Half
*snerk* I'm not sure if this is saying that together we can do a lot, or that we play an awful lot of D&D. I'm inclined to believe the latter.

10. What is in store for this weekend?
When you Wish Upon a Star, Pinocchio, Classic Disney Volume 2
Oh goody, I'm finally going to get to the museums I want to see.

11. To describe your grandparents?
The Prince of Egypt (When You Believe), Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston, The Prince of Egypt
Somehow, I think this about my dad's parents, not my mom's. Hmm. Lots of miscommunication there, I think the song is saying.

12. How is your life going?
Kissing Town, The 10th Kingdom
WTFSHUTTHEFUCKUPYOUROTTENLIAR.

13. What song will they play at your funeral?
As Long as You're Mine, Stephen Schwartz, Wicked
...I think my playlist is trying to send me inaccurate messages about my current lifestyle. -.-;

14. How does the world see you?
The Circle, Blackmore's Night, Secret Voyage
Part of the cycle of life, apparently.

15. Will you have a happy life?
We Four Girls, B*Witched, B*Witched
I guess I'm ready to go and have one?

16. What do your friends really think of you?
The Night is Ours Forever, Mad Parade, Reissues
I guess that means they think I'm trying to find who I really am.

17. Do people secretly lust after you?
Dig It, D Tent Boys, Holes
...no comment. -.-;

18. How can I make myself happy?
God Save the Keg, Blackmore's Night, Secret Voyage
...apparently by letting go and actually getting drunk for once.

19. What should you do with your life?
Deathbed and Maelstrom, Bear McCreary, Battlestar Galactica Season 3
...I should die in the end. That is...less than helpful. Or maybe cause some chaos too? That is slightly more helpful...

20. Will you ever have children?
Pikachu (I Choose You) - Short, Elan Rivera, Pokemon 3: The Ultimate Soundtrack
I suppose that means after I meet the right person.

21. What song would you strip to?
Fog Bound, Klaus Badelt, Pirates of the Carribean - Curse of the Black Pearl
Uhhhh... *shrug*

22. If a man in a van offered you candy, what would you do?
If I Only Had a Heart (Extended Version), Herbert Stothart, The Wizard of Oz
*laughs* Oh man, I would be so cruel.

23. What does your mom think of you?
We're Off to See the Wizard, Herbert Stothart, The Wizard of Oz
o.o; I really don't know what to make of that.

24. What is your deep dark secret?
The Moments of Happiness, Cats
I can see that, yeah.

25. What is your mortal enemy's theme song?
Saturday Night, TA-GANA, 10 Things I Hate About You
Er, my mortal enemy has rhythm?

26. What's your personality like?
World of Yugioh!, Yu-Gi-Oh! Music to Duel By
I can see this. I care more about what's going on behind the scenes than the actual execution.

27. Which song will be played at your wedding?
The Burning Bush, Hans Zimmer, The Prince of Egypt
...I guess they'll be so happy I finally got married that this is what they'll play. A typical instrumental of hope after a depressing part of the movie.

28. If you were to become the dictator of a small Eastern-European nation, would you be a benevolent dictator?
sep7_bb8, Sims
...this is what I get for having my friend dump all his random music onto my harddrive? Sims build/shopping sequences that don't really answer any questions. But this is fairly upbeat and the sound reminds me of circus music. So I'm afraid. Very afraid.

29. What are your aspirations?
The Ballad of Davy Crockett, Davy Crockett, Classic Disney Volume 3
To be a tall tale, apparently.

30. What goes through your head when you wake up?
Always With Me, Spirited Away
I do tend to wake up in a more introspective mood, I think this is a valid response.




Sooo...yeah. This amused me for the most part.

Those of you who read my last entry might have noticed that I was less than "wowed" by Wolverine. However, Star Trek was a different story entirely.

Nothing I can say can adequately describe this movie, as I haven't watched any episodes featuring Captain Kirk in years, Picard being my Enterprise captain of choice. Even so, I was truly blown away by this one. This movie kept me engaged, kept me wanting more, kept my attention away from where my suspension of belief might be questioned and left me on an adrenalin high.

Go go red shirt.
