Hina Kagiyama

Click for larger size, more options on Flickr, etc.

Doodle thingy as well as messing around with my markers because I don’t like going for too long without using them. It’s actually just to reassure myself that spending $9 on an E00 Various Ink wasn’t a waste of money and that it won’t evaporate if I don’t use it for too long.

This is Hina Kagiyama from Touhou. She’s the goddess of curses.

And once again, DL fails + Identicons

Digital Life published an article by Mike Lee today about Miku.

Yes, today.

This happened with the 8th Jan article on nico too.

On some admin-related fronts, no more ugly blank avatars hooray! I have enabled Identicons, which are mathematically generated random avatars (something like fractals) that somehow remain consistent for each commenter. A bit interesting that they’re called Identicons though - makes me think of Camazotz.

YAY MY COMPY IS ALIVE

Wasted $50 on a power adaptor for my laptop today.

Turned out to be a problem with the contacts in the plug.

Probably will be scanning some drawings and stuff tomorrow.

SYPA 2008 Entries, Part One

Growth
This wimpy plant growing at the stairs outside our class.

Night
Can’t remember if this was the photo I entered. Had too many similar ones.

Took these two in the first photography spree. The remaining entries come from last week and today’s last-minute retakes.
Will post remaining four when I grab them from the school Mac, probably next week.

Yeah now everyone knows my name. >___>

无所事事

今天我妈终于明白了youtube上面无所不有。她喜欢听的钢琴家演奏的视频都有。

……因此,花费了15分钟,听克莱德曼演奏的钢琴曲。

我好想玩RO。最后一次玩已经是两年前的事了。主要的问题在于

一、找不到理想的private server(以前玩过FancyRO和EVOLUTION,但是Fancy后来不见了,EVO一旦到Pront的某一个地方就会死机)

二、RO标准 Build 1010 安装后大概 1.2GB,电脑D:\盘只剩下3.06GB,如果安装了RO一定有会再出现那个“硬盘空间不足” 警告。

钢琴

不懂为什么最近每当访问此页时,看到 Alice Moby 泪丧的表情。

上个星期五向yong借了《土耳其进行曲》歌谱。总是在AEP休闲时间时听到她(钢琴7级)和benson(好像是ALCM)一起弹这首歌,看这两个厉害的人弹得很有干劲,因此自己也想试一试。没想到以看到歌谱才发现这首歌并不是很难,跟我12岁时弹得小奏鸣曲差不多(也许难度稍微高一点)。拜三随便弹一弹,yong说我学得好快,耶~

有个大问题,就是我一直不清楚歌里重复的部分。《土耳其进行曲》属为“rondo”歌型,大多数都是重复来重复去的。最后需要请我的弟弟来帮我看。我妈说:你就上网去查一下,这样不一下子就解决了吗

所以我就上youtube,果然找到很多录像,问题是很多都弹得不太好。看来看去后来又去搜索久石譲 (Joe Hisaishi) 时找到这个视频。

因此这几天来一直不停地loop《霍尔的移动城堡》组曲。

Block Tests 1 Round-Up

Got IH back on Monday, so I have all my block test 1 scores now. Test analysis:

= Good (relative to previous scores, personal expectations etc)
= Sort of Good (relative to class median/mean scores)
= Average (relative to class median/mean scores)
= Pretty Bad (relative to personal expectations)
= Poor (relative to everything)

Math: 50/60
Chinese: 72.5/110
Language Arts:
23/30
Physics: 57/60
Chemistry: 50/60
Biology: 55/60
Integrated Humanities: 10/16 (is actually , but whatever)
AEP (Study of Visual Art):
25/30

Got sympathy marks (L3!) for last question. I wish we could just drop Social Studies/equivalent (IH) and do Geography or something. Geog is the best subject evar in terms of exam full-mark confidence. I fail at humanities lol.

Languages average as usual. I guess I was lucky we didn’t have summary or I might have died. Chinese paper sucked as per normal. 2 hours for 4 comprehensions? And a cloze? And a summary? You’ve got to be kidding me. (Sadly, they aren’t, seeing as I’ve been doing them for the past three years)

AEP was surprisingly not-as-bad-as-I-anticipated (I thought I’d get around 21-23 because I was rushing and wrote rubbish for the last question) and if my sources are accurate, second-highest in class so yay. I need to learn how to write faster. Write faster and maintain handwriting standards.

Sciences was quite all right. I topped class for Bio hooray. Lost marks in Physics couldn’t be helped (genuine mistake, not careless). Chem, well, I don’t like Chem but at least I tried.

I should just run off and become a biologist or something. But then again I’d have to kill lab rats (described in graphic detail to me by my…relative, a biologist) with my bare hands. D:

The “I’m Bored” Process Tour, Part I

Lineart not by me. It’s by the amazing Holly, who has never failed to amaze me since she was my age (and I was an impressionable dA noob)

Yeah its mouse because I was lazy to get out my tablet. Behold, the power of openCanvas.

1) Laying down initial colors.

2) Color laydown completed

3) Some shadows added, she looks like a zombie lol

4) Skipping a lot of steps, we find that she mysteriously has developed shadow that is not indicative of a light source everywhere!

She’s looking pretty bad now. Let’s see if we can salvage her in Part II (coming to you the next time I have a parent-approved slack time)

Or, I could just scrap it, which is kinda what I do with every piece that I don’t complete in one shot. >___>

Ugh, spam influx
