I've been wondering for a time now why some things are so addicting, because currently my current addiction is AriZone Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey. (that picture makes me laugh every time I see it and you can kind of tell why). OMG it is one of best tasting things in the world hence why you can see why I'm addicted to drinking it at every chance I get. The only downside to this however is that it makes you want to pee a lot more, lol, but at least you are left feeling very hydrated. Plus the can is oh so pretty with that lovely combination of light green and pink :D.

Here are some other things that I'm addicted to:

Keane, chocolate, cheese, drawing, walking, makers and the REM cycle when I sleep lol. I know how can I be addicted to REM sleep, well I'm one of those people who remember all of the dreams that I've had and I can't get enough of them because they are all so amazing and adventurous.

Ok, so today was also my first actual day off where I had no school no nothing lol. I saw two films one of them being Millennium Actress by Satoshi Kon. I cried in the end, great film if you haven't seen it please do it is simply amazing. The other was actual three sort films put together to make up Memories which is presented to the world by Katsuhiro Otomo. Besides that I got laundry done and I started a new project which I really excited about. Here are the amazing covers for these two films:

What is my new project you may ask, well I'm making a new dress and I'm super psyched about how it is going to turn out because it's made out of left overs from a different project. When I'm finished I'll definitely post pictures. I'll be finished in about a day, which I've got to say is on of the fastest sewing projects I've done,because I don't have a sewing machine meaning I sew everything by hand, but no worries I've saved up enough to go get a sewing machine and I haven't found the time to go look, plus I need to get a zipper for it tomorrow at Hobby Lobby or something.

I'm going to post a little hint at what color it is going to be, lol:


As you can see it's going to be a pretty brightly colored dress, but since you don't know how much fabric I have it can either be a mini dress or a ankle length dress, so that is going to left a mystery. Might even throw in some other colors if I feel like it.



Have a great day.
:D

The Story of the Keane Dress!

Ok for a while I've wanted to post the dress that I made for the May 13th 2009 Keane Performance that I went to and really enjoyed. For starters it was my 1st Keane show and I've been a fan since 2004. Up until July of 2009 I kind of didn't keep track of what was going on with the band, to be honest I would check their website every other month and I wasn't as active a member of the forums. When the band did update their website, it was in time for their third upcoming album Perfect Symmetry; that is to say I was excited to hear something new (even though I love all three albums a lot).

So when the time came for them to announce the North America Tour dates, I was psyched because I was going to make sure that I would see them no matter what it took. Well my mother knew that I was obsessed with Keane, but didn't really know how obsessed I was until the announcement of the release of the third album. So she agreed to buy me tickets to the show and now she loves listening to them. I know she is my mother, but I don't like the fact that she likes them, sorry but now her singing along to their songs annoys me. If you don't understand what I mean about this here is a brief example:

Say that you really like a certain musical group and you've liked them for a long time, and you’re not sure if you should let your family, in my case my mother, listen to them mostly because you fear that they will become more obsessed than you and that they will always think that they are the ones who discovered the group on their own, while knowing full well that it was you who has been a fan for a longer period of time.

I KEPT MY OBSESSION WITH KEANE AWAY FROM MY MOTHER FOR 4 YEARS. <<<---- This actually amazed my brother that I'd been a fan since the way beginning, and his awe-struck face was only more proof that I indeed did amaze him to this news.

Anyways, back to the story about the Keane dress:

Anyways my mother bought three tickets, one Hot Seat package (for me) and two extras for my brother and a third person (my mother ended up going as the third person). This was back in mid-March when we purchased tickets and that is when I told myself that I would make something for this significant event (well at least to me is was huge). So I drew up a design and from there it went flying. The original design however was a dark blue color not a cool gray. I went with gray after I was given 4 yards of the material and was told I could keep the rest after I'd made a sash for a client, the 4 yards were taken as payment. I finally started to make the dress on the 1st of May, I know really late. I however did finish it in time alongside with school and finals coming up.

As you can tell from the album cover of Perfect Symmetry most of the triangles are the primary colors: red, blue and yellow. Those are the colors used for the halter of the dress, the three colors are braided together and tie in the back of the neck. As you can somewhat see in the photo with me and Tom Chaplin, I'm wearing the dress and I could have asked them to sign it but that's why I got a Keane shirt, lol.

So this is the story of the gray dress that I really like wearing sometimes when I'm alone. I met Tim, Tom, Richard and even Jesse in the dress and I will never forget that night because I was an amazing show and I can't wait for the next time when I get to see Keane perform live again (hopefully in the near future). I think it’s amazing when you meet the people that inspire you, well that's what my reaction, pure amazement, I know I now sound like a dork by say that, lol. If you are interested in learning more about Keane you can visit their official website @ http://www.keanemusic.com/ . and if you ask me to this day what my favorite Keane song, my response might take a while because I love all of the songs and it sometimes depends on where I am and what I'm doing, but the songs that did get me into listening and interested in Keane was Somewhere Only We Know and Everybody's Changing. Have a nice day! :D

When boredom hits you...

... I usually create art. These six piece where done during my ISMG class in paint.
This is the not order they were created in. Had tons of fun with the circle tool and the spray paint tool in paint. Really like the effects that I got in the first two. The order is reversed here, so the ones at the top are the ones a made last while the ones on the bottom are the ones that I made first. Will be posting these creations on deviantART as well, so you'll be able to see them there too! As you can tell I first had the desire of drawing stuff and filling it with color, then that progressed to making shapes and filling those shapes get filled and then just a totally random experiment with the spray tool. If you ever need to pass the time I suggest trying to make something in paint.

Title's of the pieces is as follows (from top to bottom):

1.spraypainttool2
2.spraypainttool1
3.circles and a few squares
4.minicircle
5.here comes the sun ...
6. LOBSTER!!!

As you can tell from the titles, they are just what they represent. I love it when someone asks where I came up with the title of a certain piece, because half the time it's just named for what the content of the piece is. Other times however there is a story behind the piece which I sometimes either include within the piece or type it up separately. Otherwise I think I'd have a lot of "Untitled 'insert desire number here'" pieces. I love when songs are untitled because than you as the listener gets to choose a title for it that you will call the song. Plus making up titles isn't as easy as it seems. Well enough of my discussion on titles and why people name certain pieces something, I'm now boring you. Look at the pieces and leave me a comment on which one you like the best. Remember the one on the bottom are the ones I made first and then it progressed to the pieces on top. Have a Nice Day! :D
