The New Life Experiences

Coming soon (after I get over the shock) to the ESF.

Blowing Off Some Steam

Getting distracted while having to do a research paper. Fuck.

Assholes Don't Invite!

Today was a watershed day for the upperclassmen at my school. Instead of going in at the usual 7:30 AM, we were allowed to come at 11:45 and "relax" in the school coliseum.

I took advantage of this and slept in until 9 AM, and then messed around for 2 1/2 hours. And during that time, seeing how many people had gone to eat breakfast that morning, I made a little panel about it.

It Takes Everything You Got

While I was in Dallas last week, I found a small card reader and in it a 16GB memory card. I've been hanging on it since and while looking at the massive music collection on it, I've found a few songs that I've liked, including "Hey Jude," "Take On Me," and an intro to an '80s television show.

And thinking about it now... that intro sounds appropriate at the moment. To be somewhere where everybody knows your name... and when your husband wants to 'be a girl.'*

The Golden Rule (for Friends)

Monday afternoon, while limping to meet my ride after school, I ran into a good friend of mine, who I politely-call "Jewfro" outside near the bus lane. We began to talk and I immediately saw Mr. Rodriguez (the leg guy) walking across the lane, so I asked Jewfro to turn around and yell out his name*.

"[RODRIGUEZ]!" he yelled.

The (Black-and-White) World According to Eddie

I was away for the better half of last week, and I'll blog about that later this week. I feel like talking about this latest endeavor.

Back in January, during a watershed week, I colorized a B&W portrait of this women sitting on a leather sofa. After some advice on colors and a bit of detailing, I came out with a pretty good end product, looking very realistic. And then I tried it again, and failed when discovering how shading and exposure really affect the way a color looks on a certain part of the photograph.

Avoiding the Edster

As I've written on here before (at least I think I have), I have gone to great lengths to see The Archenemy. Usually not much came out of it, other than a scalding by my friend (and handler) Stephanie. But about the week before MLK Day, The Archenemy and I crossed paths on a stairwell on the far side of the school, near where the Great Revenge took place.

Stupid

Sometimes we do stupid things. Sometimes we are smart. Sometimes we do things that we thought were smart but were really stupid looking back. 

I had written a letter to a friend of mine who had given me the book Perks of Being a Wallflower and thought it over relentlessly while vacationing in Mexico. Seriously.

Sucking On These Titties

 Rated 14+ with L due to strong language in the video.

I'm a big fan of Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation. It stars Scarlett Johansson as an ignored newlywed and Bill Murray as a fading movie star doing a commercial for a whisky manufacturer in Japan. They meet up and after sharing the same feelings, become good friends. In one scene, Murray meets Johansson in a strip club, with this song playing the background.

And just now have I gotten around to actually looking it up. And so enjoy this. I know I had.

Success!

I did it. I finished that goddamn Flash movie. No sound problems. It plays through. Thank God.
