I've realized that money (and having money), to me, is very subjective.
"Hey, Jess, do you have any money?"
"What for?"
"I need to buy these shoes before they sel out and I don't have any money off-hand."
"I don't have any." |

The best thing about Battlestar Galactica (besides the awesome plot, srtong cast, great character developement, fantastic filming techniques, incredible animation, ridiculously well done backstories and brilliant ending) is the soundtrack. The music is stellar, and, this might surprise you, all done by actual instruments. Lol, that's right! Most TV shows nowadays use some kind of keyboard onsambled, or the ever-famous-yet-terrible iTunes garageband. Besides that, they use songs by whatever flavour-of-the-month tween band there is out there. That is the trend.
Well not BSG. Each song is composed by Bear McCreary, translated into notation, and then recorded by REAL. PROFESSIONAL. MUSICIANS. They used (if I remember correctly) over 200 different instruments of the course of the series in the soundtrack. Many of the songs are changed slightly for each episode - while most of them are composed SOLELY FOR one episode. Which is crazy.
Not only is that impressive in text, but when listening to the soundtrack, you develope a completely new sense of appreciation. The typical BSG sound is the strings orchestra (all real,) with heavy Japanese drums in the background (all real,) and an interesting mixture of ethnic and difficult-to-play instruments mixed in. It is a completely unique ound that had my heart by the end of the first season.
But that wasn't enough. No. In season three I became completely enthralled by Bear McCreary's cover of All Along The Watchtower - by Bob Dylan. Forget flavour of the month - this man decided to take an intensly famous and well-respected song, and completely REWRITE it. Almost all of the music in season three and four had the influences of the song, and I found myself completely in love with the new arrangement. This is byfar the best cover I have EVER heard and feel I ever WILL hear of Watchtower, and in my excitement and appreciation for music, I just had to post it.
The following is a fan remix that takes four songs from seasons three-four.

| NEVER AGAIN |

NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER.
For those of you know don't know, I am absolutely terrified of all largish-pools of water. This ranges from the swimmingpool, to lakes, rivers - to my bathtub. I can not set foot in the bathtub when it's filled with water, just can't, sorry people, no no no, I won't do it. I like showers. Showers are awesome. Hate hate hate baths.
But today, I woke up feeling different. I woke up, and suddenly, I felt brave and, as I see it, heroic. So I jogged down the hall and quickly filled up the tub, tossed of all my cloths, stepped in, and...
Immediately had a mini freak out. Think of girls touching spiders. Ewewewe get me out of here ewewewewewwwwweeeeee.
But I can't just give up now! No no no I can't give up!!! Not now! I mean! I'm already in here... kind of. Like... Okay. So the one foot is in the airakin pink flamingo... But I can do this!
So I bite my lip, close my eyes, and sit down. Squirm a little.
Okay, no, no, I really can't do this.
I get up, dry of, lean over the edge of the tub and wash my hair.
Never again. |

I've been gone for a while! Things have been crazy lately, all messes and business (and swine H1N1) and work work work - This last year has eating up most of my time, writing class and maths, mostly. But I'm enjoying it to be best of my abilities! At least one benefit to Writing (and Lit. classes) is that every Friday we have 'show and tell' week - an excuse to eat cake and be merry - where we read off something we wrote earlier in the week (or something we're working on outside of classes, or something we've read that we appreciated) and get comments from our peers. Since it's a creative course we have no limits. I've been using it as an excuse to write Fanfiction.

OMG I'm back from my trip of trippy-doom and officially broker than I've ever been. Excellent. I think I spent most of my money non busfare. Which is terrible to think about.
Lots of things to talk about (shopping, bible reading each night, my friends erratic sleeping behaviours, how much my English has deteriorated and my Korean has improved,) but mostly, I just really miss the people I stayed with. I'll see the soon enough, but still, it's a pretty miserable thougt.
I just got home so I'll post crap once I've actually slept for all... like, three people who might read this.

I've made eight cakes in the passed three days.
I'm still trying to figure out what that means.
Also, I'm driving the arduous eight hours to Vancouver early tomorrow morning... so I decided that instead of sleeping and being groggy in the morning, I'll just grab me some redbulls and pull an all nighter....
...
...and make more cake. u~u |

Anyone know any good ways to thicken your hair? My hairs always been terribly thin. It's been getting better since I quit using shampoo/conditioner, but I'd still like a little more (hair, that is.) I hear castro oil helps but I also hear it can be an oily mess... nothing like trying?
I absolutely must have these shoes... Damned DBSK and their seductive ways of expensive merchandise I don't really need but want and buy regardless - damned it to heck! |

Title: the Mushroom Squad (Private Interview)
Running Time: 5:21
Synopsis: This episode: In the recent activity of the Mushroom Squad's fighting rights, a reporter (Jim Frowning) bravely decides to take a deeper look at this developing base and its leader: Cl. Wufler.
Series Synopsis: The Mushroom Squad (an organization of implied-cannibals and hallucogen enthusiasts) fight for "world peace" (read as: "world domination.") Jim Frowning (a reporter from MKMNet and member of the GVU "General Vegetable Union") bravely goes where no man has, in order to bring the devious acts of Cl.Wafler, his seven wives and legions of children, soldiers, casualties, and fans a like to the surface, by subtly infusing himself in their lives through a series of interviews, gel-pen exchanges, and excursions into the base.
Info: Based loosely after and improvised video recorded nearly a year ago. A friend (Cl.Wafler) and I decided to turn it into a full-lengthed series, and intend of expanding the hilarity as far as we can. To stay true to the original, all dialogue and questions are improvised. Not at all meant to be taken seriously, on any level. The cast is all-female. Filmed by me, edited by Cl. Wafler.

I need to start drawing again, so I'm practicing. (JaeJoong Work In Progress - Mirotic?!) Also, I need to fix the lower half of his face.
For some reason I can never draw the nose-chin area.

A medley of memories from my childhood, jotted down at separate times, and forced together into something cohesive. Perhaps, in the future, less cohesive. Maybe confessions, maybe important moments, or maybe, nothing at all. Just memories. Just thoughts. Just written. No real order.

I woke up. It was cold outside. Morning was just barely alive, and so was I - tired and disfunctioned, I rolled out of bed and hoped my favourite author on Winglin had updated her story, because it's been two freakin' days and I need to know what's going on.
After turning on my computer and giving my due laughter to my desktop background (a picture of JaeJoong in a poodle skirt and leather bra, holding the hand of Yoochun, who is in a geurilla suit) I open the browser window, and head over to the site in question.
( Only to find this comical display of the deteriorating intelligence and moral of teenagers today. ) |
