(no subject)
Semagic tells me it's someone's birthday tomorrow, so here's to wishing ursulav a day full of wombats, vampire squash and uh, turnip blood.
Lemme tell ya, the past one or two days have just about made up for a dismal week. Tuesday and Thursday in particular were not good for the psyche at all with attacks of 'I-hate-myself-and-I-want-to-die' at irregular intervals. One does ten samples of technique and 50 font samples, only to come to class and see some people with 10 thumbs ready to go, 64 pictures, deep deep rationales...*crumble* It's very depressing, especially when you're right in earshot of hearing the lecturers gushing over the delightfulness of your classmates' work. OTL Wednesdays, while incredibly fun, was an exercise in pure procrastination.
And I dunno if I'm not creative or the others in my group have no commonsense - but I still say you cannot have an electric chair with big ass speakers, a coffee-maker(!!), iPod compatibility and Bluetooth capabilities, and still fold the ruddy thing up into the size of a suitcase to be lugged around.
I think at this point my body basically said 'Screw it. You can't work when you angst, you dream stupid, dark dreams you can't remember when you wake up and you're miserable company. Gwan, get up, go do research!' So I did. Research kau-kau on the art references I wanted to use, planned a flowchart (OK, THAT was a bit last-minute) and went to class. Actually had TWO professions worth of research in case of a replay of the Ninja Manual shelf-talkers. But as I sat down for critique, for the first time that whole week I didn't have anything to worry about.
M: ...So before I start, does this profession have to be a real one? Like, one already existing?
SW: Uh...I'm not so sure I understand?
M: O, like, anyone can do doctors, teachers, things like that, but can I do...say...*looks for randomness* space pirates?
SW: *Starts laughing* Space what?!
M: Pirates.
SW: Well, sounds interesting. OK!
M: Great! So, now ou know how, in the Ultraman series, you have this human team, then the monster comes out, the humans fight the monsters, they can't fight the monsters, UM kicks the monster's butt, everyone's happy? Yeah, I wanna try and do the human team.
And guess what? SHE SAID YES! I AM DOING A FLASH ON AN ULTRA HUMAN DEFENCE TEAM! *victolee*
Yesterday's Interactive Media was quite interesting as Dai-senpai is resitting the class with mine. Uuuuusually if anyone has Flash problems they go running to either Reuben or Edwin, but I got my fair share of help requests also yesterday. Damn you masks, DAMN you alpha masks, damn you target telling, you are pretty and wonderful but you make my head SPIN.
Speaking of stupid dark dreams, playing too much Naruto made me dream of Sasuke Warcraft, the sensitive shoujo lost twin of the angstweasel with big limpid dark blue eyes and all the sparkle in the world. @_@
This morning, I looked in the papers and got so excited I overcooked my breakfast. NEXUS ROADSHOW IN MALAYSIA! *squeal* I'm SO going next week. I'm not much for the Malaysian fanbase's scope, but I think I'm safe in my assumption I'm probably the only one who can sing Eiyuu in full - and in two languages. Next Sunday! みんなでレッツネクサスー！
