I think this livejournal is on a downward spiral to GIF-central.

Meme [15 Jul 2009|05:00pm]
Stole this meme from [info]davario: "Ten self-expressive pics from your harddrive."

Rules (I don't know if these are official meme rules or if they were invented by Mr. [info]davario but whatever, they are good ones.)

* No captions.
* No googlin or flickr! They have to have been saved to your folders sometime in the past, something you've saved there because it resonated with you for some reason.
* You do NOT have to answer any questions about any of your pictures if you don't want to.

Thinking wistfully about old friends and places.
Looking at stuff like this entry from 2005.
The first half of 2005 (come to think of it, the rest of 2005 too) was a glorious, dark and murky time in my life. I look back on it and see are bright colors, mostly in the blue-green and yellow families, and blurry shapes. Lots of treasure buried under that ocean floor.


I'm doing really well, albeit not in any quantifiable way (whatever).
And I guess I'm mostly on Twitter now.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about what my last meal would be.

I was torn between Indian food and soul food, but the latter won out.



Well, maybe after eating this I would have one samosa for good measure.

What would your last meal be?

Scene 2 [21 Jan 2009|04:51pm]
This is seriously jacked up. I hate being in the "beginner" stage. I'm at the point where I can either decide to become an expert, or give up completely.

I'm trying to turn this comic into a short cartoon.

I have miles to go before I succeed )

I started learning Flash today.
I present to you my very first animation, for your comedic enjoyment. It certainly cracked me up, as it appears to have been made by a blind idiot child.

Lately I've been relying on free podcasts of This American Life to get me through work. Right now I am drawing Christmas-themed cell phone wallpapers - seven are to feature the woefully played-out "Z-Gang" and three are to be of my own design.

The first seven, I'd already visualized and sketched out beforehand, so the tedious digital rendering stuff went by pretty quickly, fueled by my voice-crush on Ira Glass.

I don't know what the hell to draw for the last three, because I have no Christmas spirit, and it turns out listening to tales of American summer camp or quests for identity, etc., don't actually help you achieve anything when you're just doodling half-heartedly on the computer.

This one is obviously not going to make the cut but I thought I would share it with you because it is 1) shitty 2) sad 3) amusingly sad 4) amusingly shitty (I hope).

More from my conversation with 8-year-old Alex yesterday.

Alex: "We have all these rabbits that run around but my dog doesn't bite them. My favorite rabbit died, he was brown and his name was Max and was still little and I picked him up and his eyes were closing like he was really sleepy and then I put him down on a T-shirt and then Max died."

Me: (fuck) "............ Well, you were with him when he died. So he didn't die alone. I bet he was happy that you were there." [See, more cliched parental posturing]

Alex: "I wanna be a soccer player when I grow up. So I'm just gonna keep practicing and practicing."

Me: "I want to be an artist."

Alex: "So practice, then!!!"

Me: (!!!) "I'm trying."

I found this ridiculous comic I drew in 10th grade biology class. I was generally very good at biology in high school, but there were two concepts which I loathed and could never wrap my mind around -- the Calvin cycle, and the Krebs cycle. I drew this comic to help me remember the steps of the former. As for the Krebs cycle, that shit was too wretchedly complicated that no cutesifying in the world could have made it possible to understand.

Here's another example of my earnest high school dorkiness: a poem about photosynthesis.

you came from the sun one day,
a brilliant shapeless energy,
flooding down on
me, a mere pigment molecule,
living in the photosynthetic membrane
i held you, and let you go.

i watched helplessly as you moved
from one pigment molecule to the next.
you left me behind,
left for better things -
from my arms to the special pair of chlorophyll molecules!

i could absorb you, but not understand you
only they could.

they processed you,
and released you from their reaction center
as someone new

not a shapeless entity but a pair of high energy electrons
i watched in horror, unable to move
as i watched you head towards your fate!
you were passed, passed, through electron carriers -

(i wonder if they loved you as i did)

and finally, you reached the end.
i watched helplessly, as you faced it: NADP+!!!
you could not be saved - i would have done anything
but you were taken in. he swallowed you,
he now calls himself NADPH.

It's very long )
