Polyvore 2

This is my Robin Hood outfit. I am kind of addicted to this website.

Robin Hood by rakusfrakus featuring metals jewelry

Polyvore

I recently found a really cool site called Polyvore.
It is a website where you can create outfits. I have only created one so far, but plan to create much more. There are tons of designer clothing items in a data-bank, and you basically just find all the pieces you want, and that creates a set. Then you can create multiple sets, to create a collection. It is a lot of fun! My first creation is here:

Little Red Riding Hood by rakusfrakus

It is sort of semi-costume-y, but I like it. I sort of like outfits that seem costume-y. But maybe that's just because I love dressing up. This one, obviously, is Little Red Riding Hood. On the site, people sort of overlap their clothing items, but I kind of like it spaced out more. Anyway, y'all should get on there, create an account (super fast and free), and make some outfits! We can share, it'll be cool. =)

Union Jack

This is an assignment I finished this morning at 3:30. We are supposed to pick an object, and then pick small pictures to make up the large object, using photoshop.
The requirements were:
-No Illustrations.
-No Black and White
-Preferably make the edges sort of blur. Don't make the edges very straight and literal.
-12x12, meaning 144 images
-No altering colors
My professor said it should've taken about 15 hours, but when I counted up how much time it took me, it was about 30. =(! But in the end, I think it was worth it. Of course, I chose to do the good ol' Union Jack.

edit: Trick- while looking at the screen, step away from the moniter about three steps, and you can see it clearer.

Geography Assignment

So in my Geography class we can get extra credit for watching a foreign film, or a film about the foreign place we are studying. This unit we are studying Middle America, which includes Mexico and the Caribbean Islands. Soooooo, do you think I could watch Pirates of the Caribbean for my project? What about Nacho Libre? Perhaps The Road to El Dorado? Eh? Any takers?

She will never learn. (Perhaps she has forgotten this?)

New Music Blog

I have a new blog. I have transferred all of my music posts over to it, where I will now post anything music-related. The link is www.childrenofboadicea.blogspot.com. there is also a link to the right, above the About Me, to the new blog.
To kick off this new blog (and also explain it's name) I wanted to share this last video here.

Labor Day Weekend + Thistle & Weeds

I should have gotten waaaay more homework done this weekend than I did. But I DID get to eat peanut-butter cookies, and had delicious lasagna, and went for a nine mile bike ride with my sister. (Which is a lot for me.) This is our triumphant picture once we got back.


And here is the belated music weekend post: Mumford & Sons


Side note: I am considering having a branch-off blog for all of my music. (possibly another for all the Haaays) Opinions on that? In one sense, I kind of liking everything in one place, in the other I sometimes think that this blog just gets weighed down with videos. Hmmm.

Oh, ALSO! This is the 100th post! Whoo!

Damn BBC

Took my videos down. I need to lead a revolt. They took away Robin Hood, they killed Ianto, and now they denied me The Libertines. REVOLT! REVOLT! Stupid BBC, well I have a message for you! You can't treat us like we don't exist.




(I am actually more annoyed than this post might indicate. But I can't help it when it comes to the Newsies. I'm going to be late to class for posting this, but it'll be worth it to be singing this song for the next week.)

Oh Sweet Youtube

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Number one: You don't have area restrictions on your content due to me not living in the UK. Need I say more?

And now, please let me present to you a little sampling of:
THE LIBERTINES READINGS PERFORMANCE, 2010.

Horrorshow. Can you understand the lyrics? Not really. Does it matter? Not really!


Boys in the Band


What Katie Did

BBC Angst

I have had the Reading and Leeds festival marked on my calender since April. This is the festival that The Libertines are reforming at. And what happens when the date FINALLY comes around? The stupid BBC site won't work. Because I don't live in the UK. Oh, sure, it works for about a dozen OTHER bands, for about three songs, but it won't play the full set of any one band, unless you are watching BBC Three. And BBC won't work. I want to cry. The Libertines are quite possibly one of my very favorite bands. I have both of their cds, imported from the UK, I have about 100 songs that are JUST demos, live performances, bootlegs, and unreleased tracks. Not only that but I have both Babyshambles records bought, along with Pete Doherty's solo album. I also have Carl Barat's compilation mixed cd, and plan to get his solo album. I also bought two shirts. I LOVE this band. I know the secrets and gossip and history of them. AND ALL I WAS ASKING was to see their reformation gig. I don't think this is too much to ask for, ESPECIALLY because it is being broadcast onto television there. It isn't like a little festival that doesn't have enormous cameras and cranes and publicity. Blah. I'm going to go eat a lot of Nutella and probably ignore my homework even more.
