Listen closely...
I just got warm and fuzzies from the star_odyssey community. Someone decided to send six paintings of stars out into the world and those paintings are being sent to people and photos are being taken and uploaded on the LJ. It's an interactive art project. I think it is a beautiful idea. And the person who instigated it is hoping to have all the stars sent back to her by next year. Go check it out. I'd love to get a star. Hehehe.
Meanwhile I've been searching for inspiration images for my project which is due tomorrow. I'm gonna be drawing a Cyborg. Hmmm.
I love Hans Bellmers work so much. I know I mentioned him before.
So beautiful and yet disturbing.
This is just one of the random Cyborg images I found online.
I've been messing around in Audacity with songs. I made a 29second clip from a song I downloaded yesterday. It's called A Little Pain and is the end theme for the anime Nana. Gorgeous little song it is. This clip is my fave bit in the whole song. Might be coz it's all in English. Who knows. Feel free to sample it A Little Pain - 29sec.mp3
I also messed around with one of my favourite songs, 1000 Words. I got the English orchestral version and the Japanese orchestral version and stuck them together. Quite interesting how well they mesh together and how each of the singers makes it her own piece. Anyway... I think it's pretty cool. It's like an instant translation, as you can hear what Koda Kumi is singing but Jade gives the Jap words meaning. It's also really cool how when they hit the chorus they in two spots hit the same note and hold it beautifully. Their voiced meld into one. Hehehe. If anyone is interested in hearing it be my guest. 1000 Words - Jap+Eng.mp3 I'm still planning to mess around with it a bit more. Maybe have the singers fade in and out. But I'll do that after Friday, when I actually have time.
Speaking of nearly having time to do whatever I wnat to do... I think I love Grant. He told me he had a modded PS2 so it can play all regions and even burnt games. Half an hour later I was looking for Xenosaga Episode 1 on eBay, lol. So now I've bought it and only have to wait for it to arrive at my door and then... then I'm going to kidnap Grants PS2 or camp out at his place or something. I am so happy that I won't have to wait 3 years for a PS3. :)
I finally saw half of The Princess Bride. All these years I was under the impression that it sucked... and shit. It didn't. Quite the opposite. I loved what I did see of it. Boy... was I ever wrong, lol!
And I stole a meme from iggy_the_balrog
