Wow Whoa

This makes me want to take out my camera more and more. Haven't had that thing out in ages. Time to dust it off.

So the trio went to Seattle again, with a fourth in tow. Gawd, University District feels like a modern Diagon Alley, except modern with indie-hipster clothing stores and all that look-down-your-nose stuff. Ego much?

Ballard is a ghost town. Thanks Misha. That was tres cool. NOT.

I have found something to believe in.

Ok, so I was reading this and it had one brilliant idea:


IPOD WAR!


It's kind of like that game "War" that you play with cards, so here goes.

First you get your ipod, (itunes for those without it, or some other music organizing program you have). Then you set it to shuffle or whatever you have, just make it random. Then write or type or remember or whatever the first ten songs that show up under the shuffle. You have one skip (like if you get two songs by the same people, or if you get a result you want to keep quiet, like lfo or something). K well, Here's my ten, comment yours and we'll come to an agreement. YOU BETTA.

"Catherine Says" by the Aislers Set
"Yer Birthday" by Casper & the Cookies
"Le Traitor" by the Fictions
"We Just Won't" by the Go! Team
"At Her Open Door" by Dead Meadow
"Only in Dreams" by Weezer
"The World's Gone Mad Part 2" by Handsome Boy Modeling School
"Miss You" by the Concretes
"So Sincere" by the Leslies
"Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon & Garfunkle


ZOMG, how did HBMS show up there, wow.

BTW, is it extremely out of character for me to be completely enthusiastic about So You Think You Can Dance on Fox? It is? O.K.

There have been two encounters with the lost kind in the last month and it's been giving me the crazies. It feels like my jaw has locked in place. Stay back, it's hard as it is.

On a MUCH lighter note, folk pop with it's whispery vocals and sweet harmonies are a staple for the coming year. Joy Luck Club feels sentimental when I read it and I don't want it to. Great stuff though. Was it on Oprah's Book Club or was it The Good Earth? Either way, Chinese cultural novels are worth the icky insides.

I want to go to school, but I don't know if I'm ready.

I just went school shopping. Anyone have any tips on where I can get reliable shelves for my locker? Thanks in advance, (Also, Thanks monica for the icons). Misha, if you're reading this, round up Kelsey and let's go to that 1920s magazine store. Have Nice Life.

Just To Tell You
It might be a sudden sense of foreboding? Crushing 6th Sense? Emotive ebb and flow, the tide releasing it's grip and crashing harder later? I don't know; Where's my iPod, it's a Postal Service and Stars night.

Thanks Monica! HAHA, thanks Monica, my favorite couple in the movie and a witty line. 2gud2Btru


Well, there's a marathon of TOP MODEL today and no one told me?! Well, I know where I'll be today.

On an entirely different note, coughing is an annoying affliction. I have the weakest immunity system whatever-it's-called ever. It's been going on for days and days.

I'm off to my stories, have a good one.


Thanks Monica! (Monica, if you can make a Draco/Luna icon, you will be raised upon the highest pedastle)

Now that I am in relative ease and am feeling the aftereffects of glowing pride at my work, I can say stuff I haven't been blogging about for around 2 weeks.

There's nothing really much to say. However, I also made a website for my pals around Canyon Estates. Yeehaw, them's a good'ne.

The layout I made for them is entirely based on tables and text, no images. Know why? Remember when my computer died some odd number of months ago? Well I used Photoshop to make my old layout. Since the crash I haven't been able to locate my disk(c?). I've entirely regressed. Photoshop, the epitome of webdesign, to basic HTML. With this layout, it's one small step for me. Entirely made on Paint. Paint is your mother balled up into a fist that punches you day in and day out. It. Is. Your. Worst. Nightmare.

Been visiting the mp3 blogs like an addict. More to come later, totally gonna score some grilled cheese now.

P.S. I know there are no links/stuff on the sidebar to your right. I'm too wiped out to do anything about it. Give me a few days.

Just in time for the next school year, here's a new layout. My name's Ryan; How bout yours? Comments make me giddy. Entirely based off of paint, the painstaking image you see is the offspring of delerious zeal for pixelated boxes. No those pointy white things aren't pencils, it's an arrow inside a white thing. It's a ROBOT HOUSE PARTY and everyone's invited.
