The Sensory Home

it was a picture of a red balloon.

red like roses.

nothing poses in a garden unless it is meant to be found.

if you read it, would you remember it?

i went on a photowalk today. i figured out how to make HDR pictures. i will have to experiment more with this.

in other news, i have 9am Econometrics. lame.

tomorrow i go back to class for spring semester. so then i can get myself off my playstation/xfiles addiction and back to no sleep and too much reading and writing.

today is free italian food because of a witch lady named Befana.

Ok, look, I feel this needs to be said.

Here are my rules for generally adding someone as a friend on here...

You will not be added if you meet the following criteria:

- you are under the age of 18
- you have too many pictures of MCR
- you're a wanker white boy rapper
- you have no picture of yourself on your profile
- you look too emo
- you list The Hills as a favourite tv show
- your pet peeves include liars, cheats, and dishonesty because those are gay
- you link to a myspace page
- you send me a note saying "PLEASE BUZZ ME!"
- you're a douche

If you don't meet any of these, then chances are you'll get a second look.

i am going to see finger eleven in 21 hours.  i havent been to a concert since november.  SO I AM EXCITED AND IT WILL BE FUN AND I WILL TAKE UBER PICTURES!
mosh pit? why yes, yes i will.

so im not a fan of bring unwittingly and unknowingly being dragged into the middle of shit between other people.  im not even directly involved in any of this, but since i live here and have to hear it all the time it kind of starts to piss me off.  usually i can ignore it.  i say usually cause if no one wants to take my advice that ive been giving for the last 8 months even though they agree with it at some point im going to do something about it because i dont need it continually coming through the walls.
it's simple, you ask for their phone and you tell the person on the other end to leave second person the fuck alone and then hang up on them.  then walk away giving an accusatory finger that they should never talk to them again.  and then theres the few moments where they sit in silence trying to thin abotu what you just did.  then there's the quiet sulk to the bedroom and the doorshuts and that'll be that.

Plaztik Pillz...it's about a robot who goes crazy but doesn't know it.  it's loosely influenced by a picutre of Robby the Robot.

been a while since i wrote something here.
i changed up the colour theme.  button colours.
profile picture.
stuff.
i had to read an article for tonights class called "Video, Performance, and Experience: Researching and Representing the Sensory Home"
it's actually not a bad article.  last week we had to read one on using photographs for ethnography and it blew out my ass because the guy who wrote it never even mentioned semiotics once and therefore I hated it.
it's raining right now.  i live on a mountain so technically it isnt so much raining as I'm just in a cloud which is made up of water so it makes sense that it's perpetually raining.

fyi...instant mashed potatos = awesome.

new song...Truth Inconsequence

...all go out and buy The Raconteurs cd.

today at work mike and i were driving in a truck and a dashboard song came on and we changed the words as we sang along to stuff like "im vindicated! i am emo i am weak im a whiney little bastard cause i wear my sister's jeans!"

and then he had two ppl phone him to try and sell him their ticket to the DC show tonight.  HAHAHAHAHA!!!!  he didnt go.

STOP PLAYING LIKE FUCKING RETARDS!!!!!  ITS GAME 7!!!! START PLAYING LIKE ITS FUCKING GAME 7!!!!!  YOU HAVE 20 MINUTES TO UNFUCK THIS!!!

holy shit intense game!  oilers are up 3-2 after one period.  even taking shit penalties too.
FUCK YOU CAM WARD YOU"RE GETTING BEAT TONIGHT!

apparently because people can hack into your account means that you are a security risk and could damage the integrity of the eBay community.

uh huh.

i have an idea.  How about you guys get better security?  ok?  sound good?  Because im pretty sure if all you ebay technicians look at my account activity you'll see one thing:

watch hockey tickets.  watch hockey tickets. watch hockey tickets.

thanks for nothing dipshits.  guess im sitting on the couch for the games again.

it's honestly painful to be watching this game right now.
we're done.  bye bye stanley cup.
might as well forfeit this game.
i feel sick watching this.

DAMMIT HOW THE HELL IS EVERYONE GETTING FUCKING TICKETS TO THE OILERS HOME GAMES????
S;LDKFA;SDLFJ~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I DONT THINK THAT THESE LETTERS IN THIS FONT CAN GET BIG ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY CAPTURE THE AMOUNT OF YELLING I WOULD ACTUALLY BE DOING SAYING THIS!!!!
IT'S ALMOST LIKE THEY AREN'T YELLING ENOUGH EVEN WITH CAPS LOCK ON!!!
I WANT A GODDAMN TICKET!!!! FUCKING SCALPERS CAN EAT SHIT AND DIE YOU GREEDY SONS OF BITCH ASS TWAT FUCKTARD COCKSUCKING MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!
...
schmeh.

i never ever liked to study.  i hated it in high school, and i learned to begrudgingly repsect it so far in my university career.
i got pissed off at my family tonight cause i was trying to study.  maybe it's my fault for not warning them that when i get into study mode i get really snappy if people bother me.
so off to the public library i go.
you know, when i was a kid, everyone told me that you go to the library and you be quiet and you dont talk because that's not what libraries are for.
i guess in the interim years people must have reassessed this notion.
do you have ANY idea how annoying it is to have 5 high school fucktwats talking ten feet away from you while you're trying to read a 23 page article about the regression of the tourist into a childlike state in Freudian terms?
i hate Freud enough already, it only makes it worse when you have to tune those assholes out.
i also saw my old high school religion teacher, who happened to go sit down at a table with three of the fuckhats and start talking too.  he waved.  i waved.  i went back to freud.
the little part of my brain in the background reminded me i havent gone over to the high school yet.
the bigger part of my brain said "shut the fuck up, you need to learn this, and you already decided you arent going anyway."
when i spend a few hours hardcore reading to motor through stuff i get really irritable immediately after.  and then i get twitchy if i dont take some down time.
ths i am hiding in the basement trying to figure out some down time.  and feeling tweaked.
actually, im kind of happy about feeling tweaked.  i havent felt academically challenged for a while.  this makes me happy.  it's a good tweak.
i enjoy it.
it's sad to say that reading how tourist brochures appeal to people because it sends them into a childlike state within which they can live out fantasies and then get frustrated because it's all based on Freudian psychology is like a drug to me.

edmonton is so fucked.  we are so doomed.
first...

FUCK YOU CONKLIN YOU SHITBAG!

second...

oh shit we are so fucked.

edmonton's up 3-1 after 2.  a few guys at work said that crolina would win this one.  they're traitors.
awesome game so far, last minute of the second period was fucking CRAZY! soooo much short handed offence on our part!
im wondering if cam ward is going to be starting in goal for carolina in the third period.
if this is how the whole series is going to go, Mr. Stanley should be back at home right quickly.
