Music: hide "Doubt"
Mood: *_*
erm...nothing really to new to add today. I have finally discovered the luxuries of hair gel and finally got my hair the the way I want it, with these two little curls in the front. sugoi! I'm thinking about dying my hair as well. If you're wondering what I'm going for, check out my profile image ^__^
I checked out NPC3000's "We are building a Religion". Very cool video, with a very dark humor to it, like MorethanToast's "Underground" video kinda. Nice editing and some slick effects, plus a clever idea made me add this video immediately to my favorites. I'll post a review for it soon.
My KareKano video is coming along nicely. Very simple editing, but the idea and emotion are present. I'll probably have this video done within a month or so.
I watched We Were Soldiers last night. I liked the fact that it focused a lot more to what was happening on the ground than what was going on at HQ or with the families at home. And in this it is extremely meticulous, detailed, and often horrifically successful. This is one of those movies that will never leave you bored or dissmissive. It grabs you and it grabs you hard, and I can easily say that it is one of the finest war movies I have ever seen, far superior to the likes of Saving Private Ryan or Black Hawk Down, which seem quite tame in comparison. As far a Vietnam war films are concerned, this is the best on I've seen to date.

Music: "Today" Smashing Pumpkins
Mood: Tired but awake
Today (no pun intended ^^) I was less tired than yesterday, but damn, I feel run down now. When I wake up I'm really tired but as the day goes on I kinda perk up. Then when I get home, I'm tired again. I think I need more caffiene *sips latte*. *cough* anyway, yeah...
I spent the entire day half awake and half asleep, not knowing whether or not I was alive. Then all of the sudden my math teacher yelled at me, and I've been "awake" ever since.
I guess I'm just trying to keep my mind off everything. The only time I felt the need to actually function was when I saw Sept during my lunch period. We talked, cuddled, contemplated on whether or not Mana (from Malice Mizer) was a man or not, planned to kidnapp Yoshiki, swooned over hide pictures, and complained about each other faking orgasms all the time *ahem*. When I went off to the bathroom (to wash my hands of all the Doritoe crap) my friend Eric took my Vanilla Coke and backwashed into it. September told me when I got back. Eric was expecting me to be all pissed and stuff, but I gave him just the opposite reaction. I smiled and thanked him, but not in a sarcastic way. The reaction on his face was priceless. I think he was confused throughout the rest of the day.
Sweet...my honey :P

Mood: Slipping away...
Well, I canned my Ghost in the Shell plan. I realized that whenever I break out of my cycle (action video, drama video, action video) nothing seems to go right. So, right now I'm trying (you guessed right) a drama video. I'm using a piano rendition of a hide song (Good-bye) performed by Yoshiki with a back-up orchestra. The original Good-bye was a beautiful song. The lyrics, in retrospect, are bittersweet. Yoshiki playing the song is, in effect, almost like he's saying 'Goodbye' to hide. You can hear the melancholy weighing his fingers down as he presses the keys. The string arrangement compliments but never takes over; it simply croons in the background, exquisite. This piece renders most people speechless. I don't know how Yoshiki ever got through the recording session.
Today I was sooo tired. I swear, I was just on the edge of falling asleep on the wall. I managed to stay awake though. I got a B+ on my final math test before midterms, so I'm really happy with that. I usally do terrible, absolutely terrible on math tests, so I usually end up retaking them. I'm glad now that I won't have to.
I had fun on my radio show today, playing some really great music. I didn't get any requests though, so my partner and I just played the stuff we wanted (which is what we usually do, and we have very similar tastes in music).
I went over to the mall last night to pick up Grave of the Fireflies on the special edition DVD. Man, I love this movie! But I can't hold back my tears for even 5 minutes when I start watching it. I didn't watch it all the way through though, of course. I'm gonna wait till I see September over the weekend and watch it with her, when I'm in the right state of mind. Grave of the Fireflies is just the type of movie you have to prepare yourself to watch, or else you'll be emotionally and mentally devastated.
I also headed down to Hot Topic but still...no The Vines shirt. This made me pissed! Is it too much to ask for a little shirt with a shot of Craig holding a guitar with a big 'The Vines' logo on it? Oh well, I didn't need to spend any more money that night.

Okay, I CANNOT fall asleep. I think I'm becoming Richard D. James (Aphex Twin). But who needs sleep anyway? It's just empty time, time I can use to do other things like.....you get what I'm saying, right?
I miss Sept so much, even though it's only been less than a day. Something inside just feels empty, or half full. I feel locked and isolated, like I have nowhere to run to. I really am hopeless without her. She's the one who has my wings, and the ones I have that feel broken.
My mom asked me why I looked so depressed, and I said it was none of her business. She said, "it's September...isn't it?" I kinda nodded.
Then she went on and on, rambling on and blaming September for all my problems. "SEPTEMBER IS THE REASON I AM ALIVE!" I said to her.
I think that ended the conversation nicely ^_^

Mood: lemoned!
As far as my videos are coming, I finished my Akira video about a day ago. Technically, it's probably my best video yet. It has more cuts than any video I've ever done and I think I really did a great job with building up intensity. There are no special effects per se, but I did use lots of flashing.
As far as my current projects are going, I've started work on a Ghost in the Shell video with two songs by Enigma: The Landing and Turn Around (their latest singles). So far I have about 30 seconds completed and it's coming out really spacey, just the way I like it. My sister said it almost put her to sleep. Righteous!!
