Review of Results: Well, first off I don't sing of course and thats far from an interest of mine, but many of the other results are highly accurate. Candles are pretty cool its true, but I wouldn't list them as an interest either. Diedrichs - man I don't even need to explain this one. I had to go back to my interests and double check it hadn't made some kind of mistake and I'd listed it already. Money - yea money is awesome.. I don't think I'd call it an interest either though.. the Ferringi would be ashamed of me. Blogging - hell yes! Only I don't like that word.. but I'm growing to accept it. Movies - eh, not more than the next guy. Digital cameras - man how'd they know. But I don't know if I like them more than normal cameras.. I need one with interchangable lenses, that would be excellent. Underblogging - yea I might add this one to my interests too. Orange County - ::shurg:: maybe "south county." learning to blog - that sounds so elementry. I prefer "study of blog." Cats - I do like cats, but I don't think I'd rate them as an interest either. I miss our siamese cat Calvin ::single tear::. Bartok - wtf is a bartok? Tori Amos - not sure where that came from. Art - man I hate art. (= --Megabloggers = <3 --Girls - if by girls they mean Kristy, then yes I jock girls. Wicked - wtf? Either I share interests with a bunch of east-coasterners, or I'm evil. Communism - is so last century. Piercings - fear of needles man, fear of needles. Computers - steal your soul!! I'm a luddite.


Picture of the ...Moment

Single Red Balloon
Irvine Spectrum, CA

   I wish I'd made the balloon redder, maybe I'll fix that tomorrow. It would be nice if it was bigger too but I'd rather keep the editing to things that can be done in an actual darkroom.

way emo.

Bela Bartok = composer. Apparently it's a card game too. Listing Abrose Bierce as an interest, you're bound to get some oddball answers.

Dig the picture. The vaguely pinkish balloon, not so much, although that might just be this computer monitor. I say: Less pink, more brownish-red tones on the balloon. Maybe more contrast around the balloon, make the sky darker there while you're at it, I dunno. You did that in a darkroom? Neato.

this picture.

Initially I disregarded the picture as entirely unmeritious, then going through all the pics a second time I was like maybe if I made the balloon red.

Then it didn't turn out very red and I once again was going to discard the picture. Then I decided I liked the swoop of the awning and and the random partial arc of the ferris wheel.. and hence it finally got posted here after much debate.

Yea I agree that the contrast should be upped and the balloon made a better red. As I said, this picture really was an afterthought after I finished all the other pictures and wasn't feeling like spending much time tweaking things anymore.

RE: INTERESTS MEME

Half of mine are asian film directors. [not anime]

I can't really figure out why. I bet they're mostly from the same individual, but I can't really figure out who just from the script. I don't have any film directors on my own interests list at all.

I guess "comic books/indie bands" is really just one hop away from the deepest depths of asian cinema. According to LiveJournal.

Ironic because I'm taking a Japanese Film class right now.

Yea I tried to figure out where some of mine came from and realized it was impossible.. I had similar suspicions that candles and singing came from one or two eccentric individuals, but there's now way to narrow it down with the thing. It would be nice if it could give us more information on these things.

Tori Amos probably came up because of me
