<--navy sea-shell studs, $3. just added in my etsy shop ! i'm going to be having a new item everyday for the next, maybe ten to twenty days. i have loads of new materials and i want to put them to some good use. i've made a lot of earrings and necklaces as of late, so i'll have some time to knit up some masterpieces soon. i love making kitsch-type jewelry just cos it's not too time consuming, but still looks great in the shop or on the resume. not my film resume of course, but my, well, you know what i mean ! hehe. but my newest creations are probably some of my most hardcore, so i'm pretty excited about it.
today i'm trying to use the word 'so' as little as possible. i figure that if i take the 'so' out of the beginning of every paragraph, it'll still sound somewhat grammatically correct. right now i'm kind of upset because my SONG is going sort of mainstream since jason castro sang it. not that it wasn't mainstream, IN THE 80s, but i guess i just miss when it used to be mine ! i remember when i heard jason castro sing it on american idol and thinking 'THAT'S MY SONG.' since i've been obsessing over this song since i heard the rufus wainwright cover way back when, and looked into all the further versions. the song is obviously 'hallelujah.' the meaning doesn't tie me as much as the melody, but it is currently one of my favorite songs. if you haven't heard it, you are very unfortunate, but fortunately for you, i'm going to be posting a cover of it. i've chosen to post rufus wainwright's cos it's what made me fall in love with the song in the first place. it's what made jason castro my favorite on idol this season, pretty much. and here it is, without further babbling:

today was pretty much uneventful. my mom finished knitting a sweater for my brother that i might sell on etsy. i was planning on papier mache today, but my mom has been home all day. -_____-
i guess tomorrow the plan is papier mache. i'm making vases and collaging them. i'm making three.. i hope it goes well. i've never papier mache-d before so it'll be a new experience i guess. i cut out a shitload of pictures last night. i'll probably go up and cut more out soon. i go through so many magazines. if you have any magazine you're not using, send them to me. my room is pretty much one big magazine. i have all pictures from magazines, articles from magazines, taped to my walls. my whole room is almost collaged. soon it will be. that's my goal for by the time i leave for college... to have my room completely collaged, with no memorium of its former cadet gray blue color. i've been working on the ceiling as of late, but there are still some empty spaces elsewhere. i need to fix that.
i joined a new etsy street team today.. the etsy OWLS. i already belong to the diyscene etsy street team. sometimes i fear i'm pretty much biting off more than i can chew with all this etsy street team stuff, but oh well, it should pay off in the end. heck, the worst it could do is not work out; the most it could do is give me a shitload of extra publicity. wow, i'm cursing a lot today... or maybe just saying shitload too much, hehe.
i feel like it's time for a big change. i've been changing the way i dress lately to more of icelandic tones of color i guess. more blues, blacks, asphalt grays, it's weird. the more i listen to sigur ros, the more i think and feel those colors more than i used to. i've also been more into horizontal stripes while i've been reading that fable my marcel marceau. hmm, that's about it for today. i need to get knitting something new.

i took this picture of the whale necklace yesterday.. it really makes me want it ! haha. currently i'm selling them on silver chains, but i'm not sure how i feel about them. i'm beginning to prefer the gunmetal chains i use on my shell necklaces.. eh, we'll see i guess, hm?
today i was asked repeatedly to clean my room, and i ignored the request every time and still haven't cleaned my room to this moment. i love ignoring what my parents say. then they forget and i end up doing what they want voluntarily. i like it like that.
so yesterday i made a fairly big book purchase. i bought a roald dahl boxed set of seven books. i haven't read any of his books, i thought it'd be a good time to start. i also bought a book on digital photography.
wes anderson is working on a new film titled 'the fantastic mr. fox.' cate blanchett and george clooney are already on the cast list. jason schwartzman is labeled 'in talks. it is based upon a roald dahl story, hence, my buying his boxed set. there are still so many of his stories that haven't been put to film, and he is very imaginative. i've always wanted to make a 'phantom tollbooth' type film. one with imagination and an unforgettable journey with a unique cast of characters. the essence of michel gondry with a sort of wes anderson or tim burton type twist but, with the perfection and flawlessness of a kubrick film, if you will. that is my goal with everything and anything i make. i want my films to resemble the greatness of the greatest, but have my own personal twist.
today i was watching the extra concert footage on sigur ros' dvd, 'heima.' amazing stuff. makes me want to move to iceland. the calmness and serenity. tints of blue and asphalt gray. hmm. seems so satisfying. those wide open spaces. thats what i like. that's where i want to be. oh, iceland.
i've also taken a new interest in both mimes and the loch ness monster. typical of a teenager to come across such strange and subtle interests i guess. i'm reading a book, a fable, by marcel marceau right now. i hate when i come across new books while i am reading others. i'm still reading life of pi by yann martel, but i couldn't resist this fable when i came across it in the library. i love fables so dearly. as for the loch ness monster interest, i think i will be putting it to my creative test and make a loch ness squee. nessie squee ! ahh, sounds rather smashing ! haha, i sounded so british there. i'm also thinking of making my own line of owls, octopuses and porcupines. i think i'll just scramble the lettering. like wols, poctopi, rocupins? hmm, how i love to create. maybe i should stick to squees for now. i'll save those new wildlife twists for my new summer line. right now i should be focusing on the life aquatic.
