AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH I DELETED MY EPIC VP2 SAVE I HATE MY LIFE, ETC.
Version: 24
Name: Nevermore
Features: Narsha from her "삐리빠빠" MV
Tools: PS CS3, Notepad
Images: Screencapped them myself
Fonts: Felix Titling, Beyond Wonderland
Lyrics: None. I used lines from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven".
Comments: This layout is a bit different from my usual layouts. Very simplistic, not much text, patterned background, lines of a poem as opposed to lyrics of a song, etc. Which really kind of stressed me out since I'm used to making really extravagant layouts with a lot of effects and text, so I kind of didn't know what to do with myself when I finished this because I felt that something was missing. I still sort of do, but when I take a deeper look at it I don't feel that it needs anything else at all. The reason I chose to toss lines of "The Raven" on this is the simple fact that Narsha's video reminded me so much of that poem that I just had to put the two together and I really do like the outcome. Background pattern was found here.

My sleeping is so royally fucked it’s amazing. Not that that’s really… NEW or anything, but I am so tired yet so incapable of sleeping right now, I don’t even know.
On the bright side, our gas line was fixed and it’s fine now. Apparently it wasn’t as big of a problem as they thought it was. Still not sure how much it’s going to cost, but hopefully it won’t be too much. Then that’ll be one issue out of the way, at least. Leaving only a few 38493 more yet to be dealt with, but yet again, what else is new.
Y-A.net has a new layout, by the way. I put it up the other night. It’s insanely pink. Kinda looks like it’d be better suited to be up during Valentine’s Day or something but, who cares xP I might go back and fix a few things later, because there are some things that still kinda bug me, but for now it’s fine. I’m just glad that I managed to get a new layout up at all O_O I’d also actually like to work on adding content and stuff to it. I’ve been meaning to do that for a long time but I never get around to it because I’m a lazyass like that, but since I’ve been in a bit of a creative mood lately, I may as well spend some time on that while I’ve got the motivation and more time than I know what to do with.
I’m generally just feeling very inspired and creative lately for some reason. NOT THAT I’M COMPLAINING. I haven’t felt this way for a while, so I’m trying to take advantage of it by trying new things and improving my skillz a bit. One thing I’m learning is that I suck at doing anything subtley. Seriously. I have this habit of doing things too big or too much and I need to stop that D: Also, adjustment layers and layer masks are my new best friends. I have no idea why the hell I never bothered checking that shit out, but now that I have, I’ve found that they’re really quite helpful.
And I just have to express how insanely adorable of a movie WALL-E is. It had me squeeing and smiling all throughout, haha. SO CUTE. I think it’s actually one of my favorite Pixar films now. Annnd I just left this to go look shit up about Pixar and OH MY GOD THEY ARE MAKING A SEQUEL TO MONSTERS, INC. That is so amazing omg. Monsters, Inc. is one of my absolute favorite movies so I’m so excited right now. It’s not expected to be released until 2012, but still. I’m very excited. I have no idea what it could possibly be about, though. I’m also curious as to whether or not Boo will be in it. Because if they decide to stay true to how much time has truly passed since the first movie, then Boo will be like… 13/14, maybe? Somewhere around there. So that’d be interesting, but who knoooooows. Dah, I’m more excited than I should be about this xP
Also, Torchwood. Doctor Who spin-off. BBC America randomly decided to have like a mini-marathon type deal so I watched a bit of it and it’s a pretty cool show. THOUGH TO BE HONEST THE ONLY THING I CARE ABOUT SO FAR IS CAPTAIN JACK. I don’t even care, Captain Jack is a badass motherfucker and I like his coat |: Idk I’m a fucking loser, but seriously, look at this man in his badass coat and tell me it’s not badass. He’s also fucking immortal. You can’t get much more badass than that.
I totally forget where I was even going with all of this so I’m just gonna shut up and find something to eat because it’s almost 5:30 in the morning and I am starving.
It is so hot outside today that I just want to die. I feel so tired and sick and like I’m burning up, it is so goddamn hot. Even with the AC cranked all the way down to fucking 50 it is still way too hot. Plz to be getting the fuck out now, okay, summer.
And in addition to our gas line woes, my grandma’s car needed a new battery which required more money to be lost and everything is just tight as hell right now and everybody’s in a bad mood and just, ugh, I really don’t feel like talking about anything, too hot to think straight.
Coincidentally, I just left this to mess around with fire tutorials in Photoshop |: Well. Idk. The heat is really getting to me.
SO LET’S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE.
I got into a really weird mood this morning and just all of a sudden felt like listening to a bunch of songs that I used to love and listen to like ALL THE FUCKING TIME. One of them being… Def Leppard – Photograph |: I don’t even care, I love that song so fucking much. It’s kind of hard for me to listen to Def Lep now because I was super fucking obsessed with them at a point in my life that I’m not particularly fond of remembering. But I don’t know, I’m starting to get over it, and I still really love a lot of their songs. Like Photograph, Rock of Ages, Foolin’, Too Late For Love… actually, anything on the fucking Pyromania album |: Which I downloaded. Along with Hysteria. I’m such a loser idec.
I also downloaded a bunch of random GNR and other miscellaneous hair metal songs just because I can’t have one without the other and lksjdflksdf AHHHHHH OKAY YOU KNOW WHAT I STILL LOVE MY GODDAMN 80S HAIR METAL. I can’t help it, man, I grew up on this shit and I love it so much ;_;♥ It’s weird how nostalgic it makes me feel, though. Because I haven’t listened to most of these songs since maybe 2007. So thinking about what was going through my mind and how I felt when I was last listening to these songs and how different it is from what I’m thinking and feeling now is just so… strange. But eh, that’s life I guess. I have a tendency to overanalyze things like this to the point of confusing myself, so I’m just gonna stop there and enjoy the muzak and just be happy that I am, essentially, a lot happier now than I was then.
And you know, that is really saying a lot.
So there was a Doctor Who marathon today and I slept through half of it |: And the finale is on right now but I already watched it online a few days ago. I kind of hate how BBC America airs shit a few weeks late. I didn’t really like the finale, though, to be completely honest. I mean it was interesting and all, with the Pandorica and all of that and I thought the something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue = TARDIS thing was cute, but a lot of things confused the hell out of me and just made my brain hurt. But I don’t know, maybe when I watch it again later it’ll make more sense. But at least it didn’t make me cry like season 4’s finale did. I haven’t even seen every episode of that season and the finale made me cry. BUT YOU WOULD CRY TOO IF IT HAPPENED TO YOOOOU~ YOU SAW IT.
Okay, I really suck at using the Liquify filter. I suck at a lot of things that involve manually drawing and shaping things, honestly. Fuck my inability to draw. I think this tutorial is pretty neat, though. Here’s the result of my attempt. I used a book since the link to the top hat icon thing is broken, though I probably would’ve either way because it makes more sense to me to have words coming out of a book. I’m actually quite proud of it. I mean, it’s not the best in the world, but for a first attempt it’s not bad at all. I even turned it into a wallpaper just because. Yay for Photoshop progress~ or something. Idk I like making pretty things.
As usual, this whole thing is all over the place and I don’t even know what so I’m just gonna stop there and leave you with something insanely random and stupid.
I don’t know why I thought Digital Bounce was the single, but apparently it’s Better Together. Which is good because I kind of hate Digital Bounce |: Better Together still has way too much autotune, though, and the video could’ve been a lot better. To be honest, I’m really disappointed in YG for not giving Se7en something better after sort of fucking up his career and all :\ But you know what? IT’S SE7EN. IT IS SE-MOTHERFUCKING-7EN. AND THEREFORE NOTHING ELSE IN THIS WORLD MATTERS BUT SE7EN BECAUSE HE IS EPIC AND AMAZING. I mean, I’ve only been a fan of his for like… a year, at most, but for real. Se7en > everyone. And that is a fact.
SHINee’s video is really cool, too, but I personally don’t understand what about it is making everyone go ~OMFG SHAKING & CRYING~ but that’s just me. Lucifer’s a pretty good album, though the song itself is kinda meh. Which is odd since I usually go nuts for songs like that, but I think I’m just getting a bit tired of hearing the same song over and over again. I love Yoo Young Jin but he really needs to come up with something new and stop recycling, because Lucifer sounds like Bonamana which sounds like Ring Ding Ding and Sorry, Sorry had a baby. The whole ~urban electropop~ thing or whatever is cool and all, but I’d like another rockish song or like a sultry R&B thing or really ANYTHING DIFFERENT. Would be kinda nice to have a bit of variety, you know? D:
So, the past few days have been kinda shitty, to be honest. Between the fact that we have to get our entire gas line repaired and my grandma’s being all skdjfs whatever and all of these other stupid little problems, yeah, it’s been pretty stressful around here. Which, honestly, isn’t much different from most days but it’s been a bit more amplified these past few days. And I keep blanking out while typing this because I just asljfs don’t feel like talking/bitching about it.
SO. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE KANG SHIM JANG LOGO SONG AND HOW MAZZICAL IT IS. IZ MADE OF MAZZIC, YES? I still can’t believe I listened to it 100+ times already. It has mazzical healing properties. I bet if it had a flavor, it’d be blue raspberry. Because blue raspberry is the flavor of the Gods, aka Se7en. Holy shit, Se7en’s MV is mostly blue. SO IT’S FUCKING TRUE OMG. BLUE RASPBERRY IS TRULY MAZZICAL. SO MAZZICAL IN FACT THAT IT TURNED THIS WHOLE PARAGRAPH BLUE.
Fuck now I really want something blue fucking raspberry flavored. Like a slurpie or a lollipop or like anything.
What the hell am I talking about. I don’t even know, I honestly have nothing to talk about so I’m just rambling my usual nonsense for the fuck of it now. So yeeeeeeeah, I’m just gonna stop now. Short boring blog is short and boring.
I really can’t take this seriously at all. The jumping at the beginning, the fact that Taemin looks so much like a chick, the way they sing LOOSHIFAAAH, Key’s hair, and the creepy way that “Lucifer” is whispered in the end along with “SHINee” right after it, I honestly just cracked up. Lucifer is not a name that should be thrown into a pop song by a boyband named SHINee. It just does not compute in my mind as something serious. Between the outifts, the hair, the album/single title, and some of the other song names (Quasimodo? Really?), I’m half convinced that SM is fucking with us. But I know they’re not and that’s what makes this so lulzy xP Good God, what in the actual fuck is this comeback.
That said, I’m actually really looking forward to the song because it sounds pretty awesome and I need it now. Strange concept and shit aside, the music is what matters and so long as it’s good, I don’t really care much about the rest.
Updated Windsong the other day, as you may or may not have noticed. I almost didn’t because I’m kind of already tired of that layout but I didn’t feel like making another one when that one is just fine as it is. So at least that’s done~ Now I just have to do something with the main site. It is in dire need of a new layout. I KNOW THAT I KEEP SAYING THAT, but for real, it’ll have been up for exactly one year tomorrow |: That is surely a sign that it needs one. … O.o When I was typing that sentence my computer, like… randomly switched to another window and then right back to this one wtf. OKAY THEN THAT WASN’T WEIRD AT ALL.
I’ve been trying not to listen to any of the few of Han Geng’s songs that have been leaked/released until the whole album comes out (USUALLY I DON’T DO THIS, BUT FOR SOME REASON I WANT TO WAIT) but I’m bored so I caved and decided to check some out and so far I’ve only listened to Queen but holy shit, I love it already.
I’m so excited for his album now omg ;_;♥ I need an mp3 of this shit right now.
Yeah, this is another really boring and pointless blog because I’m kinda blah and not in the greatest mood today and I keep blanking out |: I’m also really hungry. And I really just want to watch Doctor Who. That show is becoming a necessary part of my daily life.
YEAH YOU KNOW WHAT, I JUST GIVE UP TRYING TO WRITE ANYTHING REMOTELY INTERESTING BECAUSE I CAN’T COME UP WITH ANYTHING ELSE. Blogging out of boredom is never a good idea, but I had nothing else to do |:
EDIT // THE NEW LAYOUT IS UP! I decided not to add anything else to it in the end. And as you can see, I changed up some of the entry code since I’ve been using the same damn entry coding for the past three years |: Still not sure if I’m done with it or not yet, but it looks fine for now~
Started working on a new layout yesterday and it’s more or less finished, but it still feels like something is missing and it’s kinda stressing me out right now. It looks fine as it is, but it’s too simplistic for my taste. It’s just a blend (albeit a rather nice blend) with some neat coloring and eventually some text, but it needs something elseeeeeee and I can’t think of what. Ugh. This is so frustrating ah alksjfklsjfsjdflkajs
ON THE OTHER HAND, HOWEVER, I HAVE NEW E-MAIL ADDRESSES. My main e-mail is now esoterictrance@gmail.com and my domain e-mail is brittany@yasashii-ame.net. I check both everyday so it doesn’t really matter which you use, though I generally only use my domain e-mail for domain-related things. Doesn’t really matter, though, but yay for new e-mail addresses~
What is this, exactly? xP So random but so cute. I really love Donghae’s compositions. I just love the really nice, sweet, laid-back sort of vibe that his songs have. It’s nice to see him kinda branching off into that field because he really does have talent. I think it’d be pretty awesome if he went for a solo career or just became a songwriter or something in the future. MANY PEOPLE WOULD LAUGH AT ME FOR SAYING THAT. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT. I DON’T CARE. I’d be all over that shit in a heartbeat and you fucking know it.
That said, I’m still waiting for the fucking SS2 DVD, SM. I’m saying this again because I just realized that I’ve still yet to see Donghae’s solo performance for Beautiful aside from shitty fancams. And that is just. not. right. Also, SHINee’s comeback is pushed back indefinitely? D: That is never a good word to use in situations like these. I really hope they at least release the song, or at the very least the teaser. I mean, come on, we need something to tide us over, dammit.
/SME is filled with recycled bastards, sky is blue, fire is hot, etc.
Yeah, honestly, I have nothing to blog about. I just wanted to make a quick post about my e-mail addresses and ramble a bit. So yeah, I’m done now D:
