Wrapped in heated blanket & still rather cold. I knew something was off when I felt weak & off today. Guess its my turn to be sick. D:

Here comes another yippy-yippy YAY!

Found it!

I tend to like watching some craft segments/shows that come on... sometimes. Many times they have HORRIBLE ideas that are just vapid crap but every once in a while they have neat or interesting ideas.

I saw this one on the Katie Brown Work Shop that comes on ch. 11-3 Create.

		Direct Transfer Memoires Materials Stack of black and white photocopies Clear packing tape Baking dish large enough to fit the photocopies in, filled with water Polymer Acrylic Medium Thin craft wood Pencil Hinged metal ring Tools Scissors Hole puncher Foam brush Getting Started 1. Cover the black and white photocopies with the packing tape photo, overlapping the strips of tape as you go. Trip the excess tape. 2. Soak the paper in the water, rubbing the back of the paper until there is no more paper on the tape and the image has been transferred. Dry the tape photo. 3. Measure and cut the wood to whatever size you want your album to be. Using a dry foam brush cover the wood in a generous and even layer of medium. Lay the photocopy face down onto the wood. 4. Beginning at the middle of the board, use your fingers to work out any excess medium or air bubbles. Allow to dry. 5. Punch a hole in the top corner of the wood and attack the metal ring; this is so that you can keep all your wood photographs together. Hints & Clues For black and white photocopy family photographs, the fresher the copy, and the higher the contrast the better the end result. For extra pop and durability, add another layer of medium to the top. The imperfection of the transferred image is part of its appeal and character. If you want to have titles for your images scan in the photographs and add type.

New (forgotten?) music and art

Old classmate posted a song from OneRepublic on FB to his girlfriend and after giving it a listen and loving it I wiki-ed and youtubed them and after coming across the song below I knew I had heard them before!

All The Right Moves - OneRepublic


^The music video for this song is great! It reminds me of something Abney Park might do. Very dirty Victorian and oh so addictive!

Anyway I was trying to recall where I have heard it before and I think that is was on x96, maybe the deep x-cuts they do with new bands and songs or such. Most the time when I hear a good song/band that I do not know I try and catch the name or some of the lyrics and jot them down to look up and I think that is what I did with this one but I lost the paper before I looked it up online. I HATE when that happens and I miss out on something as cool as this band. But HA-HA I now have them! MINE!

Another band that I found through the always funny Dooce is Animal collective. She posted the song "my Girls" for the background music on her end of the year clip review.

My Girls - Animal Collective


Defiantly worth a deeper look and listen.

I might have just almost smashed the CD/band goal for '11. LOL love feeling less guilty and free going off the mainstream circuit for awesome groups and great music.


Also was toying with and idea for the short story for this year. I was thinking of revisiting the idea of the man behind the myth of King Arthur. I like the idea that "The Bear" is the main man behind the myth. I kinda want to do a exploration of the making of "The Bear". How he got the man and a bit of 'his' back story, or should I say that is what I want to make up. I was trying to think of what would you call it. It is not a true historical fiction as there is more fiction then history and there is nothing similar like mythical fiction it would just be fiction. lol yeah I'm an odd one.

The way it is forming up in my head right now is that he is sitting around a fire at night with many of the young people from his tribe and a few of his warriors after a hard day of training and hunting in the field when a youth asks him about ...oh say a scar, or how he became known as "The Bear" and start in with that being the true story. I also wanted to think that the way he became known as "The Bear" was from saving his own group of youth in training from a menacing legend of a bear while they where alone training in the wilds.

This idea kinda meshed and sprouted from the training that the Spartan youth went through out there alone as young boys/teens. I also think that the Arthur idea came from watching the movie "The Last Legion" where they took the idea that King Arthur sprang from Roman roots and a Roman Legionary. I hate that they think he had to be a non-home grown hero and myth.

So anyway the idea is there and it just needs to have time to grow from the sprouts.

Also I have been making over the walls of my space from dorm room 'chic' to something a lil more mature. I have pics but not on my computer. :/

Week 55 (+21) SCORPIO FOREVER!

55

Astronomer Parke Kunkle says that due to changes in the Earth's alignment the dates of many zodiac signs have changed, according to NBC. In addition, there may be a 13th Zodiac sign: Ophiuchus.

Kunkle says that as the Earth and Sun slowly move the signs gradually change, as expected.

The change didn't happen over night either. The 12 signs were designated to different periods of the year almost 3,000 years ago, when astrology began, and since then the Earth's position in relation to the sun has changed.

While the sign many people were born under may now be different, it shouldn't affect horoscope readings, according to NBC.

See if your Zodiac sign has changed below.

The New Dates:

Capricorn: Jan. 20 - Feb. 16
Aquarius: Feb. 16 - March 11
Pisces: March 11- April 18
Aries: April 18 - May 13
Taurus: May 13 - June 21
Gemini: June 21 - July 20
Cancer: July 20 - Aug. 10
Leo: Aug. 10 - Sept. 16
Virgo: Sept. 16 - Oct. 30
Libra: Oct. 30 - Nov. 23
Scorpio: Nov. 23 - Nov. 29
Ophiuchus: Nov. 29 - Dec. 17
Sagittarius: Dec. 17 - Jan. 20


Scorpio: Nov. 23 - Nov. 29 = only 6 days it is a conspiracy against us Scorpios!

FRAK YOU MAN SCORPIO FOREVER! (I really dunno why this bugs me so much O.o but it does.) I am so a Scorpio and not a Libra. Who is this Parke Kunkle and what does he think he is to mess with everyone's signs. I think that blogosphere has spoken!




Anyway this guy below is right!





^I was thinking this same thing. The heavens have had one Hell of a decade.



^I'm going with this. Suck it Parke Kunkle! Even if fools get screwed ober from '09 forward I'm a '80s baby. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!








(Yes I'm nuts thanls for asking!)

Finishing up a project and watching a show about MoTab on the road. Love their singing!

Morning people!

Tried to tell John where something was in the other room. He could not find it. I keep forgetting he would not be able to find his head if it was not attached to his neck. Oy.
