January 1st, 2010
| 12:45 pm - Goodbye 2009!
2009 is officially done, and now 2010 is underway.
I realized last night that I'm not entirely sure how to say 2010 in ASL... would it be "twenty-ten" or "two-zero-one-zero"? I kinda like the first option best because then I'm always giving this year the thumbs-up! ^.^
So another year gone, what's in store for this one?
( bulleted list )
So basically: documentary, internship, travel to Gallaudet and UK, apartment.
I want to get back to doing more Yoga on a regular basis once I'm back in residence, of course, that means keeping my room clean enough to lay my mat out in... or just blatantly using the common room. Maybe I could convince people to join me in the RCR on a regular basis and we could do YOGAmazing routines together... that could be fun!
Speaking of keeping my room clean, I should probably steal my dad's shopvac to bring to res for the first weekend, because our room needs a heavy duty vacuuming, more than our itty-bitty dirt devil can provide.
Also, I want to do more skipping. I've got my skipping rope, but I don't use it enough... and skipping is fun!
I need to work on actually strengthening my knees to help correct the Chondromalacia patella I seem to have. It's no fun. So I've really gotta get on fixing that.
I never did go over my Christmas haul here on lj... it's been so long since I've posted. So lets see...
I got:
( another bulleted list )
I also got a little bit of Christmas money, so while my brother's been spending all his (and his Xmas tips) on accessories for the PS3 Santa brought *eyeroll*, I've gotten a couple nice things.
I got myself the new Star Trek movie, on DVD, not Blu-ray, so I can actually watch it in residence. And I got myself these super cute yoga/rock-climbing pants from MEC which I hope will get some real use for their purpose.
Beyond my Christmas cash, I needed new running shoes desperately, so I took advantage of Boxing Day sales and got these super comfy shoes at less than half their usual retail price at the Reebok Outlet by Costco. I also grabbed a super cute Bikes Without Borders t-shirt while I was at mec getting those pants. And while taking my brother shopping I found a couple great deals on Blu-rays, so I got Ocean's Thirteen and the Watchmen for super cheap. Also, BonThéPlace downtown was having a 50% off everything in the store sale, so I grabbed a few teas: Hibiscus and Lime Mate, Yoga Tea, Cream Earl Grey, and Raspberry Leaf for Gwen. The mate is particularly delicious.
Aaaand.... now I'm not allowed to spend any money until like... reading week... *le sigh* I are so broke :(
As for my actual New Year's Eve last night? It was magnificent! Spent pretty much the whole rest of 2009 chatting with Emma, Danie and Tyler, eating crepes and the last of my homemade marshmallows. Brought Emma a game I found in our cupboard The Russian Campaign... it's so old!
After we rang in the New Year with a performance by Styx, some champagnade, and the Nicorette Countdown to Quit from Niagara Falls, we watched all 3 hours of "The Russian New Years Movie": The Irony of Fate or Enjoy Your Bath. It was quite amusing and often hilarious, though we did chat through most of it... and Jon eventually fell asleep before the end of the movie.
So now we're all caught up! That's where I am right now... I'm thinking that later today, once he's up, I'll make Jon check my grades from last semester for me, because I am absolutely too petrified to check for myself... I didn't do well in my half year courses as far as I'm aware D:
And Finally, I shall leave you with one last list. This time of all the TV shows I haven't yet watched but would like to check out:
The full first season of White Collar, as I've only seen about half the episodes, out of order.
Glee, Jon tells me it's great.
Mad Men, because it's been waiting on my computer for ages
season 3 of the Big Bang Theory
How I Met Your Mother
the rest of Weeds since I stopped watching
I'm also looking forward to new seasons of The Tudors, True Blood and Merlin... plus whatever new Doctor Who episodes come out.
I am NOT looking forward to the end of Dollhouse. It isn't allowed to end. Fox is so dumb :( *grump*. That being said, I can't wait to see how it ends! >.> ...
I've also really gotta gear up my resto druid on Azshara... I want to try hand at raiding before Cataclysm comes out. I also want to finish levelling my horde pally on Detheroc, my gnome mage on Azshara and maybe my tauren druid on Magtheridon. Too much? :P
Yay 2010! It's going to be an awesome year!

| 11:42 am - Religion, that old beast.
So over on Beliefnet they've got the "Belief-o-matic" it asks you a bunch of questions about your belief and asks you to rank them by importance, then it tells you which religion best matches your set of beliefs.
I want to know, what results do you get?
So here are my results:
Your Results
The top score on the list below represents the faith that Belief-O-Matic, in its less than infinite wisdom, thinks most closely matches your beliefs. However, even a score of 100% does not mean that your views are all shared by this faith, or vice versa.
Belief-O-Matic then lists another 26 faiths in order of how much they have in common with your professed beliefs. The higher a faith appears on this list, the more closely it aligns with your thinking.
1. Liberal Quakers (100%)
2. Reform Judaism (94%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (82%)
4. Baha'i Faith (81%)
5. Sikhism (79%)
6. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (78%)
7. Neo-Pagan (77%)
8. Orthodox Quaker (77%)
9. Orthodox Judaism (73%)
10. Jainism (69%)
11. Mahayana Buddhism (65%)
12. New Age (65%)
13. Islam (62%)
14. Hinduism (61%)
15. Taoism (56%)
16. Theravada Buddhism (55%)
17. New Thought (50%)
18. Seventh Day Adventist (48%)
19. Secular Humanism (47%)
20. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (43%)
21. Scientology (42%)
22. Eastern Orthodox (42%)
23. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (42%)
24. Roman Catholic (42%)
25. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (35%)
26. Jehovah's Witness (31%)
27. Nontheist (23%)
Really, I could have called UU, and maybe even the Quakers, being up there, I was expecting Christian Protestant, and even neo-pagan isn't that surprising; but Reformed Judaism, Ba'hai and Sihkism being way up at the top of the list? Did not expect that in the least! I wonder just where exactly my beliefs line up there...
I think this calls for some research... I love research! ^.^
You know what? Belief is a really funny looking word when you really look at it...

| 11:26 pm - Yay new icons galore!
Going through a revamp of my userpics here on LJ, mostly inspired by my constant posting on ONTD_P.
I really felt like so many people had really representative, iconic if you will, icons. Icons that I started recognizing as specific people, those icons are their faces to me, and I don't really like the one I've been using:  . I mean it's just... ew.
So I decided I wanted a better lj-face. One that says something about me. So I tweeted (and so it became my facebook status) that I was looking for an icon that screams "I AM A FILM MAJOR!" Some people suggested clapperboards, or directors chairs, a megaphone or two. But out of the blue, my dad suggested "an eye" and I had such an a-ha moment! I could take an eye and place a film reel in it!
Monday's aren't really busy days at work so I put this together with a couple images from a quick google search. (I got the film reel here and the eye from a really cool article on the psychologytoday website here, a very interesting read, you should click through).
( the method explained for those of you who want to ruin the magic )
I'm so proud of how it turned out! So thanks dad for the inspiration. Now I have a new face to show the livejournal world! One that doesn't so much scream I am a film major as it does say it softly while looking GORGEOUS!
So what do you guys think?
I also grabbed this one  from a community called ohcanadaicons from wicked_visions so thanks to them!
In other news;
Today I spent the better part (and more of it than I'd been expecting) of the morning transferring my footage from camera's P2 cards onto an editing suite and my portable harddrive (which because of that now only has 3GB left on it D:). I was expeciting to be able to go into the equipment room at 9 and be able to get it transferred and get to class by 10:30, but no such luck. I was there from 9:30-12:30 transferring and copying. But at least I've got it all!
Lucky for me, class was cancelled again so I didn't miss anything. But I really wanted to tell my prof about the walk and what I'd won! Oh well, maybe by the time we're back in class (Wednesday?) I'll have my project at least partially cut together so I can show her what I got.
Speaking of the deaf walk, it was AWESOME!
I came in 21st in the walker catagory, which is middle of the pack. Ridiculous given that I got started so late as we had a bit of a sound issue that held back my film crew actually getting started. I did however raise 100$ successfully, so I got my registration fee back ^.^
As well, our shirt numbers were entered in a raffle and I actually had my number drawn!!! There were lots of prizes to choose from, but there was one that just jumped out at me... A free evening ASL class downtown. So I'm giving it to Jon so that he can learn some ASL and try and keep up with me! He seems very excited about it, I know he's wanted to learn it for a long time, so this will be really awesome!
Also, I finally actually bought Sims3 from Best Buy! I had to reinstall my custom content and stuff, but I got a whole free town, the Prius, all sorts of awesome! And soon Sims3: World Adventures will be coming out, so I'll be buying that too :P but that won't be for a while, still I'm looking forward to it. My Sims can learn how to be Martial Arts Masters!
I was really hoping to maybe do some editing on my cinema verité project while I was working... but this alarm's been going off down here forever, and I just can't focus on something at all important.
And tomorrow I have doc class! Woo hoo!
I'm just feeling so awesome! Epic Weekend gave me an Epic Moodlet!
Of course, any mention of this weekend is incomplete without a mention of the Epic Halloween Wedding being Epic!
Really there are no words. It was so awesome and funny, and absolutely adorable! Unity Jack-o-Lantern, tweeting "I Do", shadowcast shout-outs ("Everybody! Everybody! Make your fiancee your spouse!"), followed by an awesome, costumed reception with an adorable little cupcake weddingcake, and finally a great Rocky show to top it off!
And since a picture's worth a thousand words, here's the photostream Kim and Alex Got Hitched.
Jon and I attended the reception as a warlock and his succubus from World of Warcraft, it was just such a marvelous time! Jon and I are actually going to put the costumes on again when I'm done work to go show Barry because he really loved the idea ^.^
Holy rambly! This is what happens when I don't post properly for weeks on end... things build up and then it just EXPLODES...
Now to find a good icon for expressing distaste. I have one I made on a whim after watching twilight of a really ridiculous face Edward makes at one point saying "O RLY?"... but I hate Twilight too much to ever use it... TO THE INTERWEBS!

 | 01:53 am - My Kind of Worship Song
In a comment-convo over on sf_drama that I found through metaquotes about Conservipedia screwing up the Bible, someone posted these lyrics, and another posted the video. This is my kind of worship song!
"Well, Jesus was a homeless lad
With an unwed mother and an absent dad
And I really don't think he would have gotten that far
If Newt, Pat and Jesse had followed that star
So let's all sing out praises to
That longhaired radical socialist Jew
When Jesus taught the people he
Would never charge a tuition fee
He just took some fishes and some bread
And made up free school lunches instead
So let's all sing out praises to
That long-haired radical socialist Jew
He healed the blind and made them see
He brought the lame folks to their feet
Rich and poor, any time, anywhere
Just pioneering that free health care
So let's all sing out praises to
That longhaired radical socialist Jew
Jesus hung with a low-life crowd
But those working stiffs sure did him proud
Some were murderers, thieves and whores
But at least they didn't do it as legislators
So let's all sing out praises to
That longhaired radical socialist Jew
Jesus lived in troubled times
the religious right was on the rise
Oh what could have saved him from his terrible fate?
Separation of church and state.
So let's all sing out praises to
That longhaired radical socialist Jew
Sometimes I fall into deep despair
When I hear those hypocrites on the air
But every Sunday gives me hope
When pastor, deacon, priest, and pope
Are all singing out their praises to
Some longhaired radical socialist Jew."
- Hugh Blumenfeld

| 02:14 pm - Bandana Shirts for Everyone!
I found some bandanas!
I will have a white shirt and a light shirt made up by Hillside, and I think I may go grab more.
I think I'm going to sell them for 20$ a piece mainly online (I'm in the process of making an Etsy store).
I'm so happy this is finally going to work out! I was getting so frustrated trying to find resonably priced bandanas. I found some the other day (first bandanas I've seen since starting my search) and they were double the price I was expecting! O.o
But luckily today I found a cheaper (or at least, more what I was expecting) but very limited source of them.
I will make one shirt that is entirely white, one with light blue, light purple and possibly a white panel as well. The only other colours they had were various shades of brown, and some very dark red, blue and green ones. But I don't know, they're mainly cool comfort wear for summer... would people really want them in brown or dark?
If you were buying a light summer shirt, would you get it in (or incorporating) any of the following colours: light brown, medium brown, dark brown, dark navy blue, dark red, dark green?

| 10:19 pm - Work Out Type
Finished Day 2 of P90X today. CARDIO X. Pretty hard core, and my shoulders and arms were too sore to actually do any pushups but it was good times. It mixed Yoga, Kenpo, Plyometrics and Core. I loved Kenpo! Totally rocked it! I had to go faster than they were to keep the movements straight, but it was good. Plyometrics on the other hand were just annoying. So glad I'm doing P90X lean instead of Classic or Doubles because lean NEVER does Plyometrics. :D
WoW.com posted an article today about this website ShrinkGeek, a fitness site for geeks. So far it's pretty cool. I like the subjects they cover.
I found this article there about finding out your fitness type. It's a Myers-Briggs style personality test. Here's my outcome:

I also found through ShrinkGeek, a test that tells you what your stats would be if you were a DnD character. Mine?

Not surprising that my lowest is Constitution... I had to guess at Strength though, because I don't actually know how much I can benchpress.

You click mine, I'll click yours XP
I mentioned it on twitter as well, but Jon and I are going to try and do P90X together. It's scary as hell, heck, I haven't even passed the fit test yet so I might not even be fit enough to do it >.> though looking at said fit test, I'm probably good.
( The Fit Test for P90X )
I think I can do that... I mean, the minimums for girls are pretty low.
And look, yet again I'm posting to my lj when I have something hella important I'm postponing doing. My application for next year's classes is due Wednesday. I want to get it done today, and handed in tomorrow so I can focus on job hunting exclusively.
I've stopped playing WoW AND Sims 3 until I finish this stuff. I even wrote it in stone... well... in a document on my computer called "Daily Summer Schedule". It's what I have to do in what order each day.
My video games are second last on the list. The only thing I'll do after them? Clean. LOL
You know, I really think I prefer twitter to blogging (*gasp!* sacriledge!). I mean, I post my thoughts when I have them, instead of trying to remember and compile them into a single entry. The character # constraint is actually kind of freeing. And it takes me like 1 second to post to my twitter, rather than the 17 minutes I just spent writing this post.
Come see me at Twitter!

 | 01:48 am - Bi, Bi, Baby: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes as a Queer Text
My epic final essay for film theory! I didn't just want it to go to waste in the bowels of my computer, so I thought I'd share for anyone who's interested.
In the world of film theory, there are many representations of minority viewpoints, from post-colonialist to feminist. Many of them have similar points to make, particularly since they are nearly universally responses to the dominance of white, heterosexual males and their viewpoints. It is therefore no surprise to find that queer theory, being one of these theories, has many of the same components of other minority-based viewpoints, particularly those of feminist theory, due to the fact that in both cases their difference is based almost exclusively on sex and gender. It suggests how one might identify ‘queer cinema’, how any cinema representing queerness is interpreted by the queer community and in mainstream culture, and the ways in which this queerness may be represented in film. Like all other theories, queer theory also has its strengths and weaknesses, as well as its contradictions, specifically the difficulties presented by the very word it uses to define itself with; “queer”, as well as issues with authorship. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes illustrates not only the different concepts put forth by queer theory but also some of the issues inherent in the theory.
( THE BODY OF THE ESSAY )
In the end, queer theory makes some observations about cinema and the audience’s relationship with it which are often more universally applicable than some more commonly discussed theories (feminist film theory, for instance). In defining queer, though it is fluid and often very difficult to define precisely, all of the theorists agree that it is a word embodying a diverse unity. That is, a unity of community with an extreme diversity within its ranks. I believe that this is in part what adds to the universality of queer theory; the fact that it is inclusive rather than exclusive. While there are some aspects that are rather queer specific, there are others, such as the bisexuality of gaze and the homosexualization of the hetero-audience which apply to the queer and hetero-normative communities equally. As well, while many theories suffer from crippling issues such as unrealistic extremism (realism and formalism), the largest issues queer theory has is some infighting between theorists about the definitions of queer and the importance of authorship, as well as some anachronism, which while often difficult to recognize, is generally corrected easily enough.
In other news, I'm pretty well done my budget too.

| 01:22 am - Fontastic!
So while I was supposed to be writing my take home exam, I got sidetracked.
Of course.
Redflagdeals.ca has their super awesome freebies section (which you should check out if you haven't already... I'm all about free samples!) and I decide I'll take a quick peek. Lo and behold, what do they have? "Make your handwriting into a personalized font with yourfonts.com FREE!"
My jaw drops to the floor: I have been wanting to do this FOREVER! FINALLY!!!!
So I print out the template and get to work filling it all out. Then I try to scan it back into my computer, but my scanner doesn't work. I tried to set it aside and I'd get to it when I was done, but my compulsion to finish things has a tendency to become misguided when I'm trying to buckle down... it's like I'm squishing down on my focus too hard and it just winds up leaking out the edges... anyways! I wind up spending some time figuring out what's wrong with my computer/scanner relationship and eventually find the problem and fix it. So I scan the template, upload it and OMG PRETTY!!!!
These fonts are just so awesome!
This was the first one I made, just pure and simply my own handwriting, unique as it is...
and then while I was working I figured I'd make one out of the letters I started using after seeing Lauren using them on her arm. Simple but pretty!
If anyone would like, I could definitely send out the font file for your use.
But the result of this experimentation: I want to collect handwritten fonts from as many of my friends as possible. In the style of the first one I did, where you just fill out the letters like you're writing normally. So if go to the site and go through the process, could you send me your result? Or just ask me for the template, fill it out and return it to me and I'll do all the work :)
Michael's already done one for me, and it turned out so well :)

Oh, and the catch is that you put this in your journal as well. If you don't, you don't get anything.
And as I said in the subject line: LIVEJOURNAL ONLY! people reading this on facebook who don't have active lj accounts will be ignored.

| 03:08 am - I've got an addon called Altoholic, but really I'm an Addon-aholic
So, I taught Jess how to use iTunes
/beams pride!
Teaching people how to use things really helps underscore how much I adore these things that I know. How to rip the audio from a YouTube video. How to organize a music library flawlessly. How to run WoW smoothly and attractively.
Which is what inspired this post.
I adore addons (linked to the article that led me to alot of the ones I use), on World of Warcraft.
Watching Sarah run it nude? Really just creeps me out... my UI looks nicer and has more helpful functions!
And the way I manage it, it never gets too crowded, which keeps me happy!
When my field of view is too restricted I get motionsick :S so cleanliness in my UI is a biiiig must!
I took a screencap to show a guildie (Nehemiah), and I figured I'd share (just click it to see the bigger version), just incase anyone cares.
( Read more... )
That's what it looks like at it's most cluttered. A lot of the time I don't even have Carbonite up, and I don't normally have a chat window up like that, but I made a point of it just to better illustrate my layout.
( Read more... )
More like how I actually play (click the pic for the larger size).
And now, mostly for my own benefit, but also for that of anyone else who happens to be curious, a full list of the addons I use:
( Read more... )
Holy that's a long list... I should work at linking those all to the appropriate sites... As far as the ones I'm deleting go, this is why:
RecipeRadar: doesn't work consistently enough. And isn't all that useful really.
OneBag: I got Ark Inventory, which does OneBag's job, and better. Ark actually sorts my stuff for me! Thank goodness... I was going insane with my OCD rearranging :S
also, either Recap or Recount is going to be deleted, but I haven't made up my mind yet. We'll see.
But ya... I'll work on linking all those addons I've listed. Just incase anyone cares. And even if they don't, for my own reference.
Maybe I'll even make a favorites list. XD *Next time on Veronica Goes Crazy...*
lol ^.^
[EDIT: all the addons listed are properly linked to the sites from which they were downloaded.
I was also wondering, why on earth do I have so many? Why am I such an addict? (WHY AM I NOT A SUPERMAN!?)
I realized it's because of one simple reason: When I go "oh I wish I could do..." I go find something that lets me do it! Man I wish I had something that sorts my bags for me, this is just getting tedious... ARKINVENTORY! Man, I wish I had some way of knowing when people said these things to me... PRAT! etc etc etc. I find my needs and fill them. XD]

| 07:12 pm - Life as I know It.
Ok, so I love mineral makeup! XD I was afraid it might feel funny on my face, or look powdery and weird... but it just looks and feels nice. This is a picture of me having just put on the Buxom Betty set I mentioned yesterday... I was actually just setting up my camera (it's hard to take a portrait picture from a gorilla pod!) but the picture is probably my fave of the ones I took.
Next on my list: get some mineral foundation to complete it... I've got some free samples coming in the mail, so... XD
Then of course there's me in my whole new getup... you know, pants that fit and all XD
You know what? Today I racked up almost 30 fit credits on my Wii Fit
I love that thing. It's keeping me pretty motivated. I'm even doing more exercises beyond just it now. I'm climbing back on the yoga horse (with the wii fit helping me perfect a few of the moves with it's Yoga Poses). I'm also doing a bit of additional strength training, and I'm using DDR to help get me that cardio (though I'm just borrowing the residence's copy... I'm getting my own once I get the money I've been paid for babysitting)
But I dunno... do I want DDR 1 or 2?
1 has Karma Chameleon and You spin me right round... and Clocks too...
2 has All Good Things (Come to an End) and Walking on Sunshine and I Want Candy... and Umbrella...
I'm starting to think I'm inclined to get 2... 1 is what I've been playing, and I appreciate the average difficulty of the songs... but I guess, the rez does have it, so I may as well get 2 and expand my playing possibilities.
In other semi related news, my wish to drink more water is going well.
And I finished my screenplay. I'm not as happy as I could be with it... but I'm still working at it.
I like my use of back story, but it kinda does more telling than showing, which Colleen has warned us against (though hopefully she'll appreciate my use of back story too!). She did tell us all that we had no idea how to write though... Which I did not appreciate. We can write, we just don't write exactly how she wants us to.
I'm also worried that despite it being based on a true story, and in fact all these things actually happened, it seems a little far fetched. Damn truth being all stranger than fiction and what have you!
I've started trying to catch back up on my readings, but really? YAWN! I should also work on my essay for Film Theory. D: *g* no thanks!
Luckily I finished my sound project ages ago, now I just need to put it on a DVD or something... hoping that it hasn't mysteriously disappeared from the school compies.... :S
Well... I guess that's all from me... I'm going to go back to reading... and working... and...
I like reverse crunches. They feel much easier than regular crunches while I'm doing them, but afterwards feel like they were much more effective.
Ya ok, that's really all now :P

| 10:41 pm - Repo talk @ Yorkdale = lots of :S faces
Me: "Eau de Graverobber smells like death."
Elissa: "And mashed potatoes."
Me: "... And fear of Monkey."
So I went to Yorkdale today with Elissa, and rocked that shiz. I finally have a pair of jeans that fit (only minor butt wiggling required, yay!), a super cute t-shirt (piece of toast with blue heart next to knife says: "Spreadin' the love"), and a new tanktop (purple, of course!). Plus I caved and bought the "Buxxom Betty" makeup set from Sephora like I was considering. Will post pics tomorrow of the vast experiment.
pretty pretty pretty! I love the pinup girl look! Let's hope it works for me! XD
But really: OMG I HAVE JEANS THAT FIT! I had fogotten just how nice jeans can feel, I've been so lost in the circulation destroying hell that is jeans I've become to fat for... I've been squeezing into my old 27s when I'm now at least a 29 (a 31 is a tiny bit too big, but still rather comfy really). AND THEY LOOK GOOD! *sigh* I'm just sooo happy now. My original plan was not to bother buying new jeans until I'd lost the weight to fit back into my old ones, but I caved because... well... I like getting blood to my feet. And a change from track pants every once and a while would be nice.
[EDIT]
Also: I really want the babydoll shirt of this
XD
