Mashup

I sincerely enjoy this. Coldplay, The Scientist vs Drake, Forever. Lil Wayne's in there too, but who cares about him when my main squeeze is in there. Eminem 4evr, yo. link to this superb song I speak of

I don't really know much about audio and mixing and all that jazz, but I give much credit to people who can make two songs sound flawless, like they were made to be one.

Merging.

Merging is to flattening as masks are to selections. Merging tips: http://www.bairarteditions.com/pages/tutorials/photoshop/laymerge.html. so useful.

Banned book week

This week (9/25-10/1) is banned book week, celebrating the freedom to read. So just an interesting piece of information: Fahrenheit 451 was banned. A book about book censorship.. was banned.
Thank you, America, for being so down to earth about everything.

SCINTILLATION

This. Is so. Cool. Scintillation

this week!

Currently, everyone is at BOCES except NT kids. :) I sort of wish I went just so I can finish my color stuff on time, even though it's due Monday. But I also like sleeping a whole lot.. This week, I learned what split complements were, because I was unawares they even existed. I'm really excited to learn video, though. Having access to awesome cameras (Canon Vixias?) and Final Cut Pro.. I really want to learn that. Especially for video scholarships. The only thing I've really gotten mad about (if I can even call it that at all?) is how horrible NT's guidance counselors are. She has not helped me one bit in high school for anything. In fact, as I just told him recently, Zach Pape has acted more like my guidance counselor than she has. She called me down to give me a form that was due last week, that I already got without her because I know she's not dependable. And what made me happy this week.. well, I guess I have a new cousin as of yesterday, which is kind of a shocker to me because I only just found out my uncle's wife was pregnant. Named Logan. And tonight is the Light The Night walk! I started a team and fundraised money via selling those paper things you write your name on at Budwey's. :)

Criminal Minds

unnnfffff..
Season 6 started today. My main priority for the day was obviously to watch it. Because I think I have perhaps the largest crush-love on Dr. Spencer Reid. I can't even emphasize it.

Kingdom Hearts III!

A few weeks ago, my dear friend and fellow KH fiend, Audrey, informed me that there was to be a Kingdom Hearts III released on September 7th! I never did proper research on the matter, and upon mentioning this to a certain Mike Chille whence running into him at the mall, he informed me it was untrue. YET there will certainly be one eventually. Another friend, Donnie Charles Wullner III, has also informed me that there were some guestimations that KHIII will be cross-platform, since Final Fantasy XI is Square-Enix as well, and is in fact cross-platform. Finally having the initiative to do some research on the matter after noting a post about it, I have found this website: http://www.kingdomhearts3.net/rumours/

cooooool

(untitled)

This week has been super stressful, but it went by really fast. Most of what we learned in photoshop I kind of already knew, but I did learn how to add color to black and white photos, so that's sort of cool. I'm frustrated because right now I'm being rushed to leave, but I really need to finish this blog post since I'll be gone all weekend. I'm pretty happy about not working though.. And because I'm VERY restrained on time right now, that's all I can write. So farewell, blog.

Despite the awesomeness of this song, I really love the editing/composition of this video. It flows so well.

I AM A ZOMBIE

I have officially stopped my work binge. I've been running on redbull and coffee and going straight from school to work every day since school has started, which means I don't see my house from 7:30 am until 9:00 pm. I practically live in my car. And tomorrow is my very first day not working! I requested off for Friday through Sunday, because I guess I'll be in Allegheny, camping with my friend Mark and his family. And then back to my schedule of induced energy, work, school, and minimal sleep. I guess I shouldn't complain about work though, because I really need the money or else I'll never pay off the 3k+ I need by February. :(
See, one year ago around this time, I was offered the opportunity to go to Europe and gladly accepted. Little did I know then how much money this trip would be costing, and that I don't have the "back out" option. Everything sounds good when you're naive, ha.
