Movies we have seen, movies we want to see, movies coming out soon, etc. One of them said the movie he really wanted to see was called Once. When asked, he described it as an Irish musical. Now no offense to musicals everywhere, but this word does not have the great run out and see it kind of affect on me. I wouldn't say I think negatively of musicals in general. I really just don't think of them at all. But, after hearing some rave reviews, I did see the Irish musical. And I am speechless. I really cannot convey to you how wonderful this movie is. And the music. Amazing. Hopeful. Beautiful. Calming. Real.</p></div>A Small Snapshothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02792001077234978707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6895668460518004020.post-34634496731273440342007-08-22T18:29:00.000-06:002007-08-22T18:35:50.315-06:00That's what she said.Me: I don't know what to get my Mom for her birthday.<br />Him: Get her a big hug.<br />Me: I usually ask for hints.

And I am still not done. This remodeling stuff is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I was hoping to have everything moved in to my bedroom by now and to be working on the next room. But, I am struggling. One problem right now being storage, which I know will be an ongoing dilemma throughout my condo remodel. This small condo doesn't have any. So, for the bedroom, I bought two tall wardrobes from IKEA (one of my fav remodel resources). I really liked the way they looked and thought they would go well with the rest of my bedroom furniture/accessories. But, the placement is very tricky. And I am starting to question my purchase as I am not sure if their shape really fits in the room. They came as a design-it-yourself package so I do not believe returning is an option. I am stuck with them and I need to make them work. <br /><br />Option A (with side table?):<br /><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/bluemoongrl/1132121087/"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1116/1132121087_2e2dd729e8.jpg?v=0" border="0" width="250"></a><br /><br />Option B (without side table?):<br /><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/bluemoongrl/1133106192/"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1336/1133106192_10b2390ffc.jpg?v=0" border="0" width="250"></a><br /><br />I am leaving both options up for a few days in hopes that one will grow on me.A Small Snapshothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02792001077234978707noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6895668460518004020.post-66002894435531015852007-08-13T17:50:00.000-06:002007-08-13T17:58:20.714-06:00This should be required viewing<embed src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/player/media/swf/FLVVideoSolo.swf' flashvars='id=3252642&emailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.yahoo.com%2Futil%2Fmail%3Fei%3DUTF-8%26vid%3D751400%26fr%3Dyvmtf&imUrl=http%253A%252F%252Fvideo.yahoo.com%252Fvideo%252Fplay%253Fei%253DUTF-8%2526vid%253D751400&imTitle=Typographics%2B-%2BVancouver%2BFilm%2BSchool%2B%2528VFS%2529&searchUrl=http://video.yahoo.com/search/video?p=&profileUrl=http://video.yahoo.com/video/profile?yid=&creatorValue=dmFuY291dmVyZmlsbXNjaG9vbA%3D%3D&vid=751400' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width='425' height='350'></embed><br /><br />All beginning typography classes should show this flash animation.

I have noticed that I get tired of looking at the same masthead every day. So, I think I am going to try and change it up now and then. Not sure how often. Here is my second masthead attempt. I think it is an improvement over my first one. I wanted something a little more simple and graphic. I used this picture I took of the Guggenheim Ceiling.<br /><br /><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/bluemoongrl/1022303592/"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1171/1022303592_6664830983.jpg?v=0" border="0" width="250"></a>A Small Snapshothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02792001077234978707noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6895668460518004020.post-9960206815941467712007-08-03T23:32:00.000-06:002007-08-03T23:42:40.131-06:00Punk Rock Henna<a href="http://flickr.com/photos/bluemoongrl/1003605709/"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1290/1003605709_6869670db7.jpg?v=0" border="0" width="250"></a><br /><br />An unconventional henna tattoo I got while listening to a new band find. <br /><a href="http://www.peterbjornandjohn.com/">Peter Bjorn and John.</a> Check them out.A Small Snapshothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02792001077234978707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6895668460518004020.post-82485594976328178142007-07-31T22:04:00.000-06:002007-08-01T08:14:33.756-06:00VOTE FOR ELLE!I just wrote the title for this post and laughed out loud. And then I realized I may be the only person who even recalls this random movie line. <br /><br />Let me explain. It is from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250494/">Legally Blonde</a>. Stage: It is Elle's first trial representing fitness ("expert?") Brooke Taylor in a murder trial. Two of Elle's somewhat ditzy sorority sisters come to watch her trial. When they walk in, it goes a little something like this. First sorority girl: Elle, we came to see your trial and look! There's like a judge and everything... and jury people. Second sorority girl: VOTE FOR ELLE! Then they are immediately hushed by the judge.<br /><br />The reason for the title is because I just entered a competition called Blog For A Year. At first I thought it was a great idea. Me being a new blogger, needing all the encouragement I can get. But, what I didn't take into account was the whole self-promotion thing. I used to think it would be so romantic to be a fine artist, until I thought of the whole self-promotion aspect of it. I could never stand in front of an audience and talk about myself and my work. I would die. I am an introvert. I am not saying there is anything wrong with it. I enjoy going to artist lectures a lot and wish I went to more. But, for me...wow. I am feeling a little panicky just writing about it.<br /><br />So, what do I do? Enter a competition where I have to promote myself. So here is my attempt. Vote for Elle! I mean me. Thanks.<br /><br /><a style="display: block; background: url('http://www.blogforayear.com/images/badge-horizontal.jpg') top left; width: 180px; height: 60px; border: 1px gray solid; position: relative; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" href="http://www.blogforayear.com/profiles/a-small-snapshot" target="_blank"><img style="position: absolute; top: 14px; left: 11px; height: 32px; width: 32px; border: 1px gray solid;" src="http://www.blogforayear.com/profile/image/183/thumb/sufertini.jpg"/></a>A Small Snapshothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02792001077234978707noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6895668460518004020.post-87821904198210186972007-07-30T21:59:00.000-06:002007-07-31T00:15:16.842-06:00My 100 ThingsI like reading other people's my 100 things. So, I decided to write my own. It was much harder than I thought it would be. A couple of my fav 100 lists <a href="http://www.metalia.blogspot.com/2006/11/100-things.html">Metalia</a> and <a href="http://captainhambone.typepad.com/about.html">Not that you asked</a>.<br /><br />100 Things about me:<br /><br />1. I love cheese. Even though I am lactose intolerant, I would much rather suffer the consequences than not eat it at all.<br /><br />2. My favorite movie is Empire of the Sun. <br /><br />3. The Pride and Prejudice mini-series from A&E runs a close second.<br /><br />4. Subsequently, I have a crush on both Christian Bale and Colin Firth.<br /><br />5. I have a Basset Hound.<br /><br />6. She is 9 years old.<br /><br />7. We have lived in two states and six different homes together.<br /><br />8. I like a good cup of coffee in the morning.<br /><br />9. But, I will settle for a bad cup. I really just need my coffee in the morning.<br /><br />10. Speaking of mornings, I cannot get up straight away. Whoever invented the snooze button, I love you.<br /><br />11. When I was in my early twenties, I watched the movie Reality Bites over and over again. <br /><br />12. One of my favorite lines was said by Troy to Lelaina while trying to cheer her up after she was fired by taking her on a tour of all the places he had been fired from. -“You and me and 5 bucks.” <br /><br />13. I still want life to be that simple.<br /><br />14. I am a total sucker for certain movie scenes. Like in Beautiful Girls, when Andera says to Tommy: “You know there are fours words I need to hear before I go to sleep. Four little words. "Good night sweet girl." That's all it takes. I'm easy, I know, but a guy who can muster up those four words is a guy I want to stay with.” I love that shit.<br /><br />15. And if you can’t tell, yes, I am a hopeless romantic.<br /><br />16. I work as a graphic designer.<br /><br />17. I like what I do.<br /><br />18. I love books.<br /><br />19. I really don’t think I have a favorite book. Some that are worth noting: <span style="font-style:italic;">The Bean Trees</span> by Barbara Kingsolver, <span style="font-style:italic;">Secret Life of Bees</span> by Sue Monk Kidd, <span style="font-style:italic;">84 Charing Cross Road</span>, by Helene Hanff, <span style="font-style:italic;">The Bell Jar</span> by Sylvia Path and anything by J.D. Salinger.<br /><br />20. I was slightly obsessed with J.D. Salinger and Sylvia Plath as a teenager/early twenties.<br /><br />21. As weird as it may sound, I wish I were a neat freak.<br /><br />22. I am really really not.<br /><br />23. Truthfully, I just wish I could afford/find a housekeeper.<br /><br />24. Sometimes I don’t shower for an entire weekend.<br /><br />25. I love getting pedicures.<br /><br />26. I love all the colors of nail polish you get to choose from, I love reading really bad gossip magazines, I love everything about it.<br /><br />27. I am a fan of some of Tim Burton’s work. <br /><br />28. I wish I could just say I was a fan, but I never could make it thru Planet of the Apes.<br /><br />29. I love his book <span style="font-style:italic;">Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories.</span><br /><br />30. When I was in college some of these stories were made into animations and they were posted on shockwave.com (which doesn’t exist anymore). I watched them every day.<br /><br />31. This is the first time I knew I wanted to make flash animation.<br /><br />32. I let this dream go after some feeble attempts at trying.<br /><br />33. I should really try again.<br /><br />34. I just bought my first condo.<br /><br />35. I have too many ideas of things I want to change to make it mine.<br /><br />36. Feeling overwhelmed and excited all at the same time.<br /><br />37. My dad is helping me with a lot of the remodeling work.<br /><br />38. I have great parents.<br /><br />39. I am 31 years old.<br /><br />40. So far I haven’t figured out this decade.<br /><br />41. I wish I took more pictures.<br /><br />42. I am working on this.<br /><br />43. My goal is to fill up my monthly quota on Flickr.<br /><br />44. My favorite sitcom is The Office.<br /><br />45. I have every episode on my ipod and sometimes listen to them at work to cheer me up if I am having a hard day.<br /><br />46. Did I mention that I am a big music fan?<br /><br />47. Listening, discovering new artists, going to shows.<br /><br />48. I however cannot sing. At all.<br /><br />49. For my birthday, my boss gave me <span style="font-style:italic;">The Twelve Terrors of Christmas</span> by John Updike, drawings by Edward Gorey.<br /><br />50. I dig Edward Gorey.<br /><br />51. My boss is a good person.<br /><br />52. I am lucky.<br /><br />53. For many reasons. But, having a good boss is really great.<br /><br />54. Wow, just passed the half way mark. This is a lot harder than I thought it would be.<br /><br />55. My favorite holiday is Halloween.<br /><br />56. I decorate and everything.<br /><br />57. I am big into text messaging.<br /><br />58. I prefer texting to talking on the phone.<br /><br />59. The crappy cell phone reception at my new place is a huge drag now.<br /><br />60. I can only see out of one eye at a time.<br /><br />61. This was something I was born with. They both work. Just not simultaneously. <br /><br />62. My new thing is energy drinks.<br /><br />63. Even though I am not an athlete.<br /><br />64. They are the best 3 o’clock pick me up.<br /><br />65. One of my co-workers is an athlete.<br /><br />66. She sometimes brings me new brands/flavors to try. She is very thoughtful like that.<br /><br />67. I have great friends.<br /><br />68. I love the smell of rain.<br /><br />69. And the sound of ocean waves.<br /><br />70. I once lived by the ocean.<br /><br />71. I would like to again someday.<br /><br />72. Oh, and did I mention that I think IKEA is one of the greatest places on earth?<br /><br />73. One was recently built about 15 minutes from my new condo. Perfect timing for my remodel.<br /><br />74. My style is contemporary and very simple.<br /><br />75. I used to love to snowboard.<br /><br />76. But, now I have one dead front tooth and hips that cause me a lot of pain.<br /><br />77. At the time, I worked at a ski resort in Washington State.<br /><br />78. I now live in Utah.<br /><br />79. The mountains here are beautiful. I enjoy camping in them. <br /><br />80. I also enjoy traveling.<br /><br />81. But, I have never been outside of North America.<br /><br />82. I would really like to.<br /><br />83. Wow, this list is getting harder and harder to finish.<br /><br />84. I have never had DVR. I would like to get it before the Fall shows begin. <br /><br />85. And yes, I am already thinking about my Fall shows.<br /><br />86. I watch too much television. <br /><br />87. I have about four dishes that I can cook. And none of them require much talent.<br /><br />88. I wish I would spend more time trying to learn to cook well.<br /><br />89. My friends and I took a hip hop dance class once. <br /><br />90. I took dance from age 3 to age 13. But, something must have happened from age 13 to age 30. No offense to us all, but we really sucked. I didn't care though, it was wicked fun. <br /><br />91. Sometimes it is bad for me to spend too much time alone. I love napping. I don't feel guilty if no one is watching.<br /><br />92. It is the same with shopping. I should always bring someone with me. Otherwise, I am libel to go a little crazy.<br /><br />93. I like the way my bare feet feel in fresh cut grass.<br /><br />94. I also like walking bare foot in the sand. (As long as it is not too hot)<br /><br />95. 5 more to go. Will this list ever end?<br /><br />96. I prefer steam rooms to saunas. They should be clean and scented with plenty of fresh towels.<br /><br />97. I do like saunas though. Just not as much as steam rooms.<br /><br />98. I wish I could have a massage once a week.<br /><br />99. I would like to start doing yoga. I always feel so uncomfortable in those classes. I have to be one of the least flexible people in the world.<br /><br />100. Yay, I have reached 100! This list took me two days to finish.

The only plus to this situation was I could watch movies late at night and pretty much roll from my couch to my futon when I was tired. Yes, I am that lazy. <br /><br />But, tonight... I have my bed back.<br /><br /><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/bluemoongrl/923109661/"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1153/923109661_fceb509880.jpg?v=0" border="0" width="250"></a><br /><br />Ahhh...A Small Snapshothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02792001077234978707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6895668460518004020.post-29400996915370599952007-07-26T19:48:00.000-06:002007-07-29T10:33:55.977-06:00Batteries Not IncludedI haven't been able to find my digital camera for a while. I am still mostly living out of boxes and have a storage unit filled with more. I figured I would not see my camera for a while. I sort of borrowed/sort of stole a camera to use. It ran out of batteries 2 days ago causing my posts to stop as what I wanted to write about needed visual aid. The camera I borrowed/stole has a battery pack that needed to be charged and seeing as I did not have the charger, I thought I better go on the hunt for my own camera. <br />I tore apart boxes and finally found it amongst some camping stuff. The only problem being, my cable to transfer the images to my computer was MIA. It has been missing for quite some time. I believe I lent it to someone at work and never got it back. I decided I needed to buy a new cable. The best place in my neighborhood after 6 to buy a cable? Walmart. I cannot describe how much I detest going to Walmart. It's beyond detest. The only time recently that I went to Walmart was for a friend's baby shower. I needed a place that sold bulk white onesies for a fun project that she could take home. <a href="http://www.cuddlebugbaby.com/html/babyshwer3.html">(See Project.)</a> They turned out really good so it was worth the pain of entering that place.<br /><br /><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/bluemoongrl/910308461/"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1251/910308461_b5cabe299f.jpg?v=0" border="0" width="250"></a><br /><br />Well, I mustered up the courage and went to the Walmart and bought the needed cable. I came home and began to set up pictures to exhibit what I wanted to write about. And guess what?! MY camera was out of batteries. <br />Ironic.A Small Snapshothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02792001077234978707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6895668460518004020.post-2185293248643685942007-07-24T17:27:00.000-06:002007-07-24T17:35:22.892-06:00Vintage-styleI took this picture with my camera phone.

It is dirty. It is gross. And I really have no idea how to properly clean it. A person at work told me of an experiment someone did where they put their keyboard in the dishwasher.

One of my favs. Sadly, I think because I can often relate. Work this week has been too much like this movie. In a bad way, illustrating some of the worst moments, to the point where I was wondering if I would make it until Friday. But, I did. And while sitting here trying to de-stress and unwind, I found the perfect visual ending to this very bad week in the form of an amazing Flash movie.
