These are some pictures that I painted/drew with watercolor pencil and a black pen.  As you can see, I've had a very exciting life lately.  sigh.

I hate english.

Sing along! in mandarin!

this is a pretty sweet chinese song that my cousin showed me. soooo... watch it. and learn it by heart, because if I ever manage to get the mp3 for it then it will be playing in my car at least.... 48% of the time.

radio.blog troubles...

did I already talk about this? eh, it don't matter.

Anyway, for a while now I've been trying to figure out how to embed music in my blog with a program called radio.blog, so that A: I can share my superior music preference with all you people who still seem to think that classic rock is cool and B: to create that awkwardness when you get into a web page not knowing that your speakers are on and suddenly (good) music comes blasting from your computer and everybody looks at you all funny... you know.... please tell me that hasn't only happened to me.... *shifty eyes* Well, anyway, my point is that I haven't been able to do this yet, because the people who write these things can't seem to speak english. Well, they do speak english, but it's like, english with a bunch of Jargon mixed in with it. stuff like "...embed the RBS into index.php and be sure to do this with an FTP, or else it won't work right, and also make sure you understand XML format and your webpage supports RBS, XML, and SWF... and if you don't get any of that then you're a stupid n00b."

So why on earth do they subject me to this kind of treatment? do they want people to go insane just trying to get music on their blog? The only reason I can see is job security. If they start using real words, normal people might actually understand the inner working of the internet, and these jerks will become cheap, often unemployed, blue collar labor. They're still jerks.

by a-the-by: this would explain the weird little box underneath my user profile that says "the page does not exist" or whatever it says now.

"I wanna girl with a short skirt and a looooong jacket"

Well, since I just added a keane music video in a very prominent place on my blog, I thought it would be appropriate to analyze this cake song.

What is it that makes this song so catchy? It's got hardly any melody, and it doesn't really have much of a point either, except to say what kind of girl this guy wants. The main thing that makes this song so good though is the descriptions it uses. Instead of using vague descriptions about the ocean and the sky and all that, which most people can't relate to at all, it uses much more modern similes, like "a voice that is dark like tinted glass" and "eyes that burn like cigarettes", which almost everybody can relate to. That's probably the only reason that I really like it, but if you haven't heard it yet, it's highly recommended.

I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes

I want a girl with the right allocations
Who's fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's playing with her jewelry
She's putting up her hair
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnng jacket......

I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who used a machette to cut through red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass

She is fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnng.... lonnng jacket

I want a girl with a smooth liquidation
I want a girl with good dividends
And at the city bank we will meet accidentally
We'll start to talk when she borrows my pen

She wants a car with a cupholder arm rest
She wants a car that will get her there
She's changing her name from Kitty to Karen
She's trading her MG for a white Chrysler La Baron

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnggggggggg jacket

wii!!!!!!

Just a while ago, nintendo announced the official name for their new game consel- the nintendo wii. This is not the first of the next generation gaming systems to be announced, but it's definitely the coolest.

The most obvious reason for this is the new controller design- innovatively motion sensitive to make people get a little more exercise while playing nintendo. This new controller can be aimed at the screen like a gun for shooting games, swung like a sword, bat, or golf club, or tilted to turn in racing games, like many of us do anyway, except now it will actually do something.

Another reason that the wii is so cool is that, like the xbox or playstation, it has online playing capabilities, but unlike the xbox or playstation, online play is completely free. no further explanation necessary.

These aren't the only cool things about the new nintendo. It also has an online archive of NES, SNES, and Nintendo 64 games to be downloaded to it, and has the capability to play gamecube games, a feature which costs about 200 dollars extra on the xbox 360. One more great thing about the wii is it's design. It's obviously taken it's cues from apple, going with a very simple, white, aesthetically pleasing design. Smart move.

Overall, While the wii does have a strange name, it's definitely got a step up on the competition. yup. nintendo's still got it.
