Today certainly was interesting. I didn't have school, so I slept late (well, 11.00, to be exact) and then went on my merry way cleaning things for the big Thanksgiving get together tomorrow. Oh, sometimes I hate these holidays...
Then I started playing on the piano and re-learned 2 songs (I haven't taken lessons in a long time but I was bored) and my mom wanted me to learn The Piano Man but really, that isn't happening any time soon!
And then I found a good icon table generator, had issues getting the lj-cut to work, and wrote this.
Finished screencapping Neon Genesis Evangelion (all 26 episodes), might post the files soon for everyone to enjoy. Probably won't do director's cut episodes since I have to give the DVDs back to my cousin tomorrow.
Also found out that I got into DePaul University with $9,500 a year and possible admission to the Honors program. But I have to write 2 500 word essays, which, as everyone knows, is fun fun fun fun fun fun fun!!
Also, let us take this opportunity to discuss something I fear I will never, in all my years, understand as an art form. This would be the suddenly very popular media of DOLL PHOTOGRAPHY. Saying that you shouldn't take pictures of inanimate objects and call it art is an invalid point (why bother with landscapes, then, or still lifes?) but really. Dolls? I mean, not just dolls sitting on shelves and looking dolly, but those Japanese (or Chinese, I am not 100%+ sure) ball-jointed dolls that have suddenly become sooooo popular (you know, like Dollfies!).
What scares me the most is when people start treating their dolls as if they were actually human. Like, not just "I love to photograph my new Dollfie!" but when they start NAMING their doll... and then scary things like this happens:
"Had to re-do his faceup (his face paint, yah) last night. I figured I'd change it around a bit, he's changed so much since I first put the paintbrush to him."
Uhm. I didn't know that Dolls had the express ability to CHANGE. That would make them animate objects (and/or possessed by some sort of spirit/demon) and therefore NOT DOLLS. What HAS changed since you started painting him? Your perception of the doll, maybe, but certainly not the doll in and of itself! Maybe if you're talking about appearance, sure, your doll can change how it looks due to what YOU the OWNER has done to it!
I don't understand why it gets 100000000000+ views just for astupid picture of a doll that is set up to look human. You don't capture any emotion in it! And frankly, becoming that involved (/obsessed?) with a doll is not very healthy, and rather scares me...
Alas, I think we have now realized why I am always going to be a DeviantART non-celebrity, because I do not take doll photography. Ah well. It's still effin creepy. xD
