I downloaded Audacity a while back to use for video editing and effects and stuff but never really got around to learning how to use it. So last night I was talking to my dad about his work at the radio station, and I told him I'm going to start messing around with audio editors and the like, online, just for fun. He recommended me some softwares, and today I realized ol' Audacity here has been gathering e-dust on my desktop for quite some time so I looked up how to use it and have been testing shit out all day. I'm pretty excited. There's several pages in this one notebook I have filled with various song titles and descriptions of them, how well they could go together with other songs, what layers to combine or take away,
that kind of stuff. Song mash ups are what I plan to do.
And if I ever make anything worth listening to
I'll post it somewhere so you can hears!


I've finally started working on my Wreck this Journal
and have even taken some pictures for that flickr account
I said I'd make, which I did make, but I'll reveal it to you
once I've got some interesting stuff to look at up there.
I promised myself to do an assignment a night
every night last week, and I did!
Probably the first promise I've made
to myself in a while that I've actually kept.


I had never been to an optometrist before until yesterday.
Sean and I both had appointments, right after school.
Our optometrist is a family friend though
so I've met him before, he's a real character,
the type of guy that you want a book to be written about.
Not even a book of his life story, just him in general.
His appearance and mannerisms, rather. Anyway.
I really liked getting my eyes tested, it was good fun.
I was so curious of the machines he used, and I was
comfortable enough with him to ask questions so I did.
I'm far-sighted and need full time glassies. But
I don't have to wear them all the time, which totally
defeats the purpose of telling someone first that they
need hardcore glasses, full time. Yo whateva.
I still have to go back to get some frames, I'm esciiited.


Tonight my family's going to Irish Night
and I'm staying home to paint and read and things.
Oh, that's another thing, I'm still not finished with
Elliott Smith and the Big Nothing. You know, just
another one of those promises I made to myself
that I didn't follow through with. Oh well.
Yeah so, planning on completely finishing
that painting I've been working on forever, tonight.
I finished my magazine bowl as well, just need some
glue that dries clear and I'll be set. I allllso finished
my tea mug from ceramics and I'm pretty pleased
with how it came out. I should've done at least one
more coat of the glaze I chose, but it's okay, it still
looks pretty cute. Pin asked me to make her a giraffe
in ceramics, and I'm looking forward to making that.
We got more clay friday since we had run out, so I
suppose I'll start working on that next week.
I ALSO finished my Boo sculpture in class friday.
You know Boo, from Super Mario? Him. And he's
made out of a sand block since we didn't have any
clay, which I already mentioned. I think after Pin's
giraffe I might make Mario and Luigi figurine thingys.
I think that would be pretty sick.


I also alllllso have a good amount of video ideas in store,
so I'm working on that as well! So many projects my god.
Better than none at all, right?


Okay. I'm off to get all these things done
instead of writing about them.
Go outside! It's pretty out.
