picasa collage experiment
i love picasa's collage function. it arranges the photos for you according to the general color of the picture. makes you look like a pro in a lot less time.

playlist speaks again
so it's midterm time and so is procrastination time.
blogging while diagramming seems like a good idea. multi-tasking, per se...
next ten songs; same format: "song title" by "artist" makes me or reminds me of "insert opinion/memory."
"one million" by athlete reminds me of missed opportunities and wondering "what if?"
"blue light" by bloc party. i won't say anything until you listen to the first 10 seconds of it. that opening is soooo good: a soothing rhythm that reverberates until the end of the song.
"evaporated" by ben folds five makes me believe that there is passion in ben folds voice. you can hear the pain when he sings, "i poured my heart out."
"at my most beautiful" by r.e.m. makes me smile and think that there are men out there who appreciate the women in their lives.
"take me out" by franz ferdinand reminds me of any simpsons episode because it starts off one way and ends another.
"my girl" by the temptations reminds me of summer and gives me an overall feeling of goodness.
(it's getting a bit cheesy...yeah?)
"song for the dumped" by ben folds five is the best break up song ever. bitter with a bit of humor. "give me my money back, you bitch!...and don't forget to give me back my black t-shirt."
"in the morning" by the coral is really one optimistic song.
"c'mon" by guster is another one, makes me want to say, "let's goooooooooooooo! do iiiiiiit!"
and with that note, we fly to...
"el salvador" by athlete. yes. yes, we can start over.

the playlist speaks
i am going to attempt to say what i feel about every song currently on my playlist (ie. all songs collected via downloads, CDs, and tapes). to make things concise, i've created a mad-libs-like way to say it all.
"song title" by "artist" makes me or reminds me of "insert opinion/memory."
(oh...and this is also a procrastinist's strategy to not start working on that portfolio which is due on january 9. and i also don't think there'll be epiphanies, but then again, i haven't started.)
let's start with 10 songs...here we go!
"1979" by the smashing pumpkins reminds me of my friends from manila.
"we're going to be friends" by the white stripes reminds me of napoleon dynamite...for obvious reasons.
"no tomorrow" by orson makes me feel like going to a club and dance like my life depended on it.
"ooh la la" by the faces reminds me rushmore and how that was a genius of a movie.
"past and pending" by the shins reminds me of my fourth year fall semester in uva.
"umbrella" (a cover) by the manic street preachers makes me think of all the disillusioned youth of the world.
"sister golden hair" by america makes me think of hippies and that scene from the graduate where dustin hoffman started yelling in the wedding chapel.
"dancing in the moonlight" (a cover) by toploader makes me want to lay on the grass and look at stars.
"vienna" by billy joel makes me cry...in a good way.
"wishingwells" by the eraserheads makes me want to live in a cottage in a forest near a meadow and a small chocolate river.
