[The View From The Coffee Shop Window]
The night before last I got rather restless, it was far too late to do anything and when I get restless I tend to rearrange things in my bedroom. So I did. I have my televisoin positioned so it's behind my bed in a way which makes watching movies in bed easier. I decided to decorate the walls of that little T.V. nook with all my movie posters. :) So I did. I also took a bunch of my old drawings off of one expance of wall and nearly finished an enitre walls worth of collage. I think I spent something like two hours moving things around...
Everyone's entitled to their own OCD I guess, right?
After I finished all that I wandered into the living room with my mom and my brother and we watched some Doctor Who! I love it so much. I remember my mom introducing me to the original long ago it was just marvelous. I was skeptical when we brought the new series home from the library...you can't just remake Doctor Who! But it's fabulous! We finished the first series of the new, and are on to the second! They changed Doctor's seamlessly...just awesome. Haha but if you've never seen it you probably don't get what I'm going on about...so go see it!
-Questions & Answers-
-How Long Have You Been Dancing? I started formal ballet lessons at about five, and have been dancing ever since so that makes almost thirteen years of dancing!
-What Kind Of Animal Hybrid Do You Wish Existed? Hmmm...awesome question by the way. I fear my answer is going to come out pretty lame.
A cat with wings would be pretty cool...although I'd fear for the bird population.
-If You Could Change Your Hair/Eye Color Would You And To What? I think I'd keep my eye color, just because there's something so personal and hand-picked about eyes. Even if I hated them I think I'd keep them the same just for that reason. Though vampire eyes'd be cool! Haha.
Hair? Again I like the color of my hair though I'd love to either go jet black or a shade or two redder.
-What Type Of Camera Do You Use In Your Photography? Well...I don't actually own a camera. I want one so badly! But I don't have one. I take all of my photos on my phone! I'm amazed at how good the camera is on this thing because I got one of those "free with mail in rebate" phones. Lol. But I works marvelously for now. Someday though I'd love to have a nice professional Nikon or Canon.
-What Programs Do You Use For Photo Editing/Post Processing? This is really funny...my mom owns Photoshop CS4 pro, Photoshop Elements 6 and Corel Painter X, and I don't use any of them. Stupid? Probably...I just don't even think to ask to use them. Anyway, at the moment I just use the stock editer on Photobucket. It works well, and I normaly don't need to do much more to the photos than change contrast and things like that.
[That Wonderous Cup Of Coffee, and Fragile Things. A Great Way To Spend An Afternoon.]
While I sat and sipped my "cafe carmel" yesterday I looked across the street at the church there and saw people leaving a wedding. The bride was in a very traditional dress...save the fact that it was Lime Green, bridesmades in dresses of the same color. The groomsen were in black suits and white shirts with lime green vests and those classicaly "mobster" fedoras...it was different. Definitely a sight to see!
My brother kindly reminded me that the playstation plays dvds! So I finished Priceless last night and am going to finish Rachel Getting Married tonight. If I have time maybe I'll re-watch The Fountain I love that movie!
Yesterday was the birthday of two of my inspirations, Ray Bradbury and Claude Debussy. Both were amazing creators in their own regard. Bradbury was a master storyteller, and Debussy was an amazing composer. I've always wanted to find out if there is any recording of the The Fall Of The House Of Usher opera he was working on...
I've gotten back into some drawing for now it's just a stream on conscienceness type of sketching, but it's definitely getting me back into the swing of things.
I've also decided to not major in animation when I reach college. I am much more interested in the direction and art direction of films, so I'll probably, when college rolls around, major in film direction or something along those lines. Eventually art direction is the course I'd like to go...but I'm always budding with new ideas of ways to plan my life after a dance career so you never know!

In Giving This Award I Am To Say The Following:
