I crafted that shelf for my paints I mentioned in the last post.
Cardboard, tape, and hot glue.
Booyah.
It's a chimera of leftover IKEA cardboard, sketchbook backs, cardstock, and the packaging from a wii (the blue tray at the bottom). The left side half-shelf is from a tower shelf unit in my closet, where I didn't need one of the shelves anymore. So that's propped in there. And everything fits nice and it's glorious.
And I'm painting again after five years.
Initially I started off with making copies of a Kandinsky and part of a Mucha--pieces I've wanted to do for a loooong time. But then all the official info came out for the upcoming Project 4 Awesome Art Perk submissions... and I've thrown myself into the ring. I had already started planning, but figured I'd do it next year. Then decided, "Fuck it!" and I'm doing it this year. I'll talk about it in more detail once I'm further along. I'm making 30 to 45 mini paintings.
We'll see how it goes.
Also re-designing some of my online presence. Going for something more consistent across everything. This blog and my tumblr feed now look like fraternal twins. Just wanted to go super clean. A few more things to add, but I'm refreshed by the change. I suppose it mirrors the room overhaul. Feels good.
Came across a ton of old photos during the chaos, including this gem.
Yep.
Hat-face.
It's a good look.
I don't know why it didn't catch on.
I'm assuming my brother had something to do with this.
Classy.
Seven... or eight years old, roughly? Not sure. Started growing my hair out when I was about nine I think. Hasn't been shorter than this since I was that age. My hair is so long right now. And it's Autumn, so it's doing it's annual shed, plus age and stress, I feel like there is more of my hair on the floor than on my head right now. -___-

Listening to Seo Taji and EPIK HIGH's new albums. Pretty great.
Özil got injured enough to be out until the end of the year. Arsenal is struggling badly this season. He was also apparently involved with some woman during the Spring that isn't his girlfriend. Lol. Footballers. Jackasses, the lot of 'em. A lot of fangirls lost their minds. I guess I'm not that bothered by infidelity. Not because it's Mes. I think I'm just too disconnected from the idea of romantic relationships to care... or be surprised. *shrug*
I have my eye on that new Nexus 9. It's $400.
But I think it's perfect for my needs. Trying to decide if I wait until it's actually out and reviewed or if I should pre-order it already. It will be my first 'smart' device of any kind. I have a very oldschool cell-phone, which I barely use. But I've been carefully researching and considering having a more mobile/accessible gadget to use away from my computer. I think I'm going to be pulling the trigger on this Nexus.
Hoo boy.
Junsu has been in LA for the last week with his buddies. He tweeted a series from all the Halloween-related haunted-house stuff that is set up in Universal Studios for the month. Absolutely fucking hilarious. Dracula all up in those zombies, tweetin' and making fun of his screaming friends. He really killed Dracula, too. The musical. The reviews sounded incredible and the few videos available looked spectacular.
Yoochun is still promoting Haemoo. Apparently it got an Oscar nomination? Or is expected to? Big movie. Pretty cool he was a part of it.
It's freezing in here, so I better stop typing before my fingers actually do blow up.
Feel like I'm treading on thin ice with the painting projects.
*knocks on wood*
Gently!
:P
