AWWW DANGIT

Very random!

Lately I feel like I want to tinker around with making music, but I have no idea where to start

I was kinda hoping there would be the PHOTOSHOP FOR MUSICIANS kinda go-to program that does it all and is a must-have, but I don't think there is one!

I keep trying to research which programs might suit my need, but I guess people need different programs for editing, music making, exporting, mixing, recording, I mean seriously isn't there one simple program that can do most of that?


I think it's a shame that it's so hard to get into new things these days, what with all these huge learning curves and too many options and right and wrong ways to do things and complicated programs and just uhg!


Also, the contest is going great, guys! Keep it up!

until Jan 2d!


Ok so not only do I have most of my 500 dollars in Threadless store credit left, but I also have a ridiculous amount of street team points (even MORE store credit) and the number grows all the time!

So! I thought I would give 3 people the chance to get any shirt they want from Threadless, free of charge!

Heres how the contest will work:
You need to draw an "undesirable" person (fictional, real, or made up) riding a unicorn, or other mythical beast. You can interpret this any way you like, as long as it is generally PG!
Simply drawing a picture will enter you into the contest, so it does not have to be amazing! Just funny. After 5 PM (eastern time) on January SECOND I will randomly pick three winners!
One entry per person, please!
You must be at least 18 years of age because I don't want to get in trouble for sending a kid a shirt.

The top three will get any shirt they want from Threadless.com (if it's in stock) shipped to them free of charge. I *will* be accepting international entrants, I am just hoping the shipping won't be too much! It probably won't be a problem, though.

I would like to order the winners shirts by January Second or Third so I can take advantage of the $10 sale that's going on, so please have a shirt roughly in mind and maybe a backup shirt in case that one sells out.


Post a comment here with your entry drawing and your LJ username/or name, or the username/name of a friend if thats what you want to do!
If you are posting anonymously, please include an email address so I can contact you if you win!

This is also a good chance for people who have wanted to get a shirt from threadless, but couldn't because it does not take paypal. So hop to it, my lovelies!




Edit: Ok so it's not exactly 5 right now, but I'm just gonna go ahead and announce the winners now anyway since I'm here

I had a reeeally good holiday, we had the whole family around and it was just super joyous. We also went and saw Sherlock Holmes, and I ate some cheesecake. I felt sick from the cheesecake, but I am still in good spirits.


I am super blessed and it is a privilege to be in my family!


I wish I had some art for you guys, but my computers been pretty slow lately and photoshop eats up the most memory.
All I have is this doodle of a house that I had a dream about:
I drove down this long thin road (I had a friend in the car too, though I don't know who she was, she had black/dark brown hair) that was surrounded by lakes and cranberry bogs, and I drove up to this house, it was more like a hotel actually. Anyway, there were these ponds in the front of the hotel with little floating bellhop bells in the water. Me and my friend discovered that ringing the bells made the bells sink to the bottom, but open a door to the hotel. So we started pressing all the bell tops and opening all the doors, thinking it was wonderful



The scene had strange lighting that I did not take care to duplicate in the image above. It was sort of in warm shadows with sunlight creeping up near the corner of the house. The bells were all shimmery in the sunlight, floating around next to green lilypads

I remember taking a peek into one of the front doors and inside was so fancy and warm. There was a shiny checkered floor to the hotel lobby. Anyway, it was a lovely dream, I don't know if I ever went inside the hotel


ANYWAY I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED YOURSELVES IN SOME WAY THIS FESTIVE SEASON ♥

Christmas was nice and quiet this year. Hung out with Papa all day, got some good books, DVDs, and clothes. Brookie and Kevin made HAM for dinner. Sounds wonderfully traditional for Christmas, but I can't eat ham (or most meat for that matter) so cold pizza for me! =D

So lately I've been considering costumes for Comic-Con, and I have no idea what to do this year. I don't know if I'll continue my traditional Alice cosplay with Sam, or do any other repeats this year. The more I thought about it the more I wanted to try a Tim Burton Alice and Mad Hatter. I mean, it would be fun to do since the movie comes out this spring, and Comic-Con will be a great time to do the cosplay. I even know a great seamstress could could make Alice for me. However a few downsides are giving me second thoughts.

For one, it's Comic-Con and I'm certain every other man will be dressed as Burton's Hatter. It'll be exactly like 2008 where EVERYONE was dressed like the Joker after The Dark Knight came out. So it wouldn't exactly be the most original costume. The other problem is that if I dressed as Alice, I don't really know who I could get to cosplay as Hatter with me. There aren't many guys I would trust to look good in the costume (maybe Sam, but I haven't asked him if he's interested), and also I would want to make sure the costume was done RIGHT. Which would mean getting it made and paying for it myself. And that's another problem - it's going to be expensive.

So I'm not sure. I mean, I already know I'm going to love the movie, and I really want to do this cosplay, but is it worth it?

Already I've been looking up sites and tutorials. I found a pretty good tutorial here, but I'm not the greatest crafts person so I would have to get someone to make it for me. I glanced through Ebay and found some sellers offering their own costumes like the coat and the hat. But HOLY CRAP $500??? Yah it looks nice, but not for that much money. GAH. I mean the best offer I could make would be $160, maybe $200 if I have a lot to spend.

This guy has a pretty good costume going but it looks like he actually got the $500 coat. O_x And like a protective cosplayer he isn't saying where he got the other materials.

Siiiigh. Well, I know a couple seamstresses and prop makers. I guess I'll ask around. Merry Christmas y'all!

Hope everyone is having an EXCELLENT HOLIDAY!
My day has been great so far! Lots of wonderful gifts exchanged, I'll perhaps elaborate on that later
