07.17.10

Beach day, with supah vtg. short shorts and a ratty t-shirt. Alright day. And my legs are blue because I wore some super sheer blue stockings...haha, not just because I happened to change my mind midway the picture and decided to shade in blue.

07.25.10

It was a non-movie day today. Missed two showings (for Inception and Despicable Me!), all for food. Haha. What else would it be? Grabbed dinner, and made cupcakes for the first time! But alas, it's no surprise they are too sweet for my tastes, I realize that I dislike frosting very from the can. Sugar overloooad. It's too bad my oven's broken, otherwise I think I'd try my hand at baking. Would just love to get my hands on some marzipan and shape things.

Wore patriotic colors today, even with stripes! If only it were the 4th of July...

07_13_10 & Toystory 3

Waking up early (early...being used loosely here) for class minimizes my chances of putting effort into the way I look. So today, I actually tried. And it was soooo hot today! I melted. Also, I just realized that everything sans shoes and sunglasses are vintage/thrifted, and that the entire outfit probably cost less than $20. Sweet.

And I just watched Toystory 3! It was cute! I really really really love the floppy flailing limbs of Woody whenever he pulls the amazing acrobatic moves that get him out/in of shenanigans. Sooo amusing. Somehow has got to show me that in slo-mo and upload it onto YouTube. haha I was never really a big fan of Toystory, and didn't understand why everyone looooved it so much, but I've watched all three of the movies now, and it's grown on me. I think part of the reason is because I feel that out of most of their works, this animation had a lot more emotional depth, dealing with loss, change, wants, and of course, duty. And I just remembered, I've been referred to a toy a few times by people I've known. Hmm. Funny, no?

Wrinkly

Yeah, pretty much. I get ridiculously exhausted (and I mean, seriously, exhausted) around 6-8pm these days. Like...what? I get tired whether I eat dinner or not, or whether I get 3 hours of sleep or 9. And I feel like I should fast foward my life till I'm old and wrinkly, and it'd match my weird feelings right now with life. Live with my retirement fund, have my old achy bones creak all the time, and knit stuff for my grandkids. Just want to be content, have simple food on the table, watch the sun rise, clean a bit, read a few good books and watch some sweet movies...watch things grow.

Hahaha, man life is interesting. All my feelings before of needing to be somewhere new have completed vanished now that it's just my father and I. All..completely vanished. Hmmm.

element dream

It was a night or two ago, so I've lost quite a bit of it. But I dreamt a rather elaborate dream that morning of 4th of July, well at least according to my memory.

I was on another planet, residing in a human civilization freshly implanted there for testing the planet's conditions. It was no where near as glamorous as Avatar, and the planet was rather similar to ours perhaps slightly duller, lots of greys, browns, a few greens. Maybe it was the constant dull weather. There was a lot of rust too. Rusting buildings and corridors and hallways.

In a forest, I encountered three behemoths of epic size and majesty. Giants, they were in were a mass of element; be it wind, water, and fire. They bore a head similar to a fox, elongated snouts and slivers of eyes. The wind travelled between the water and fire, turning black from ash by the fire then turning grey from ice and steam let of by the water.

The most vivid detail I remember is how the giant fire creature moved. It hardly moved like fire, quick and erratic. But like a viscous liquid, slow and deliberate as the trees it passed through burned and blackened.

Like thick honey, it burned.
