Spent several hours prepping up the big ol' watercolor that I'll be working on sparingly for the next two weeks. The other painting (had to use the liquid airbrush acrylic since the tubes are embedded in the mess known as my room) looks like it'll end up in the trash. Ho hum.

Recently, I haven't been able to get enough of scruffy boys with smokey voices strumming strings. Currently Nick Drake is playing, but before him there was Damien Rice ("Cannonball" has been on repeat for hours at night), Holcombe Waller (who should get that new CD out sometime soon!), Loudon Wainwright III, his son Rufus (who's strings are piano, not guitar), Bob Dylan, John Mayer, Jason Mraz, and the few acoustic tracks my friend recorded for me.

Makes me wish I appreciated those guitar lessons. Dad's overzealous encouragement and drive for me to learn guitar taught me otherwise.

Even though power chords rock my world. Ah, the summer of 2001 and my attempts at being in a band.

In other news, sis got a copy of the Battle Royale: Special Edition (the Korean one) that she had ordered off of EBay. It's wonderful to see all the gore in the minute detail that it initially deserved. The new scenes (especially the Requiems at the end) were too much.

... Watch out. Soon I'll be talking about the cinematography and color filters and then I'll end up sounding like Mike or Blake.

But I have to admit that Project: Greenlight (this time 'round) is rather cool.

Think I should get me some sleep now. Yep. Wish I could be like Tyler and go for half a day without sleep... but then I would be bored out of my mind.

Scratch that, I'd be too occupied to be bored by all the work I should get to finishing. Or I'd be busied trying to find ways to procrastinate further. Like sleeping.

Oh, that sounds rather nice....
