The Last Airbender

I saw it last night. It was kind of a letdown. Too much exposition, not enough action; I'm not sure who the movie was directed toward.I felt like falling asleep because of all the talking Emotions were lacking. Transitions were choppy to cram in all the places and story elements. Ten-hour story crammed into less than two hours, never good since so much has to be cut (standard). I think it also lacked the comedic element that made the show light-hearted; it just seemed so serious (even Soaka-- e

I Saw T L H Today!

It was on a license plate... you didn't think I meant Toa Lhikan Hordika, did you?   ©1984-2010 Toaraga EAM

Video Games Live!

Nutshell: It's a symphonic experience with video game visuals.   I saw it presented by Dallas Symphony.   It was spectacular.   ©1984-2010 Toaraga EAM

Joseph Ducreux And Stuff

Wow, I haven't actually logged in here in about 3 weeks, though I have visited. I guess that happens with life sometimes... granted, I'm wasting too much time on other sites and stuff. So I'm not sure the value of that trade off.   Life's chugging along at a steady pace: 60 seconds per minute, 60 minutes per hour. I can't believe May is just about over. Soon July will be here, and I still need to get things done before I skip town.   In the mean time, I ran across this character recently...

Photoshop C S 5

Looks amazing. I haven't had an opportunity to preview the launch stuff or really get to see from the many videos what all the suite is supposed to do. All I know is that what Photoshop is supposed to be able to do is remarkable... that would take my photo editing abilities to a whole new level if I could afford the price tag for either one.   Anyone care to give me about a grand, so I can buy it?   ©1984-2010 Toaraga EAM

Hungary Hungary Hippo

I'm going on a trip to (country) Hungary to visit some (noun) hippos. They don't like it when you (verb) smell at them with funny looks. The eat (plant) palm trees and spend a lot of time in (liquid) ice tea. I hope to (verb) kiss the (noun) squirrel while I am there.   ~Sha la-la-la-la-la My, oh, my~   ©1984-2010 Toaraga EAM

Where's Waldoaraga?

<-- That's where I'm going.   If you can't figure out the clues, I'll put the real flag before the end of the contest, if I don't forget.   ©1984-2010 Toaraga EAM

Guess What!

I'm typing this entry with my nose... attached to my face. The actual typing was done by my fingers, which are attached to my hands.   I'd just thought you'd like to know.   That is all.   ©1984-2010 Toaraga EAM

Guess Where I'm Going.

No really, guess. This summer I'm planning to go somewhere I've never been, and I am excited.   Maybe I'll theme my blog around where I'm going and enter the contest.   ©1984-2010 Toaraga EAM

Aang Drawings

I drew this first one in Flash from scratch:     This one I drew not so much from scratch, but I had a drawing tablet I wanted to familiarize myself with. I basically used Photoshop to "trace" and color a pre-existing image, alternating between the tablet and mouse as need be.     ©1984-2010 Toaraga EAM

Not Quite Lego Posters

There are some perks to working retail:     I got these from the valences at work once they weren't needed. Whenever I get room, I'll have them on my wall.   ©1984-2010 Toaraga EAM

Excitement Building

The future looks brighter every day. And summer is but months away.   Haha, random poetic moment.   Anyway I'm so full of amazement and excitement for this year, but there are so many distractions to getting things accomplished, things I couldn't quite finish when Christmastime was around. I'm trying to force myself to focus on what's really important to me. (I'm still kind of figuring that out.) I'm looking forward to summer, not because school is out (though an added bonus I assure you), bu

The Last Airbender

Super Bowl spot was mediocre, but the theatrical trailer is full of win. Go, watch it!   Also, Industrial Light & Magic.   The effects should be top-notch, so here's hoping for a just as good or better story. I don't want an overpowering special effects show to make up for bad storytelling. So far, the movie looks promising.   ©1984-2010 Toaraga EAM

Depression Sucks - Or - Why I Stepped Down

Let me say this right off the bat. I am a Christian, yet I have struggled with depression. No matter who you are, depression is never a fun thing to go through.   This is not something I like to broadcast, but I do like to help people. I prefer to do behind-the-scenes stuff with little or no attention on myself. I'm terrible at spearheading projects from scratch, since that's not how my thinking works, but I do like to help people when I see a need. The problem with helping people is that some

Things That Don't Exist

Status quo- The world changes its views too often for this to realistically exist. The only thing that's achieved by submitting to such a notion is thinking in stereotypes. If the status quo really did exist, things would be much more bleak than they really are, and history would not be that: history.   Fear of commitment- This is mostly applied to relationships, but in reality, whoever or whatever one dedicates his/her life or time to is what that person is committed to. It can be work, family

Recon!

I finally have it.   Endure was such a pain to get.   Advice for Endure: Teamwork and communication. It might take a few tries to work with your teammates and know the terrain/enemy drops. Choppers on Lost Platoon also help. The people I was playing with and I ended up with about 20 lives by the end of the 4th set; after that, we took it less seriously.   ©1984-2010 Toaraga EAM

I Just Realized...

The first day of this year was totally binary... except I think I saw a two. Confounded 2 making binary not binary.   Also, at first I pasted the phrase "I'm very versatile" that I had copied earlier from elsewhere; thus, I made the title/entry combo initially "I just realized I'm very versatile." I wish I had known sooner that I was versatile.   ©1984-2010 Toaraga EAM

Wait, What!?

It's a new year already? When did that happen, and why did nobody inform me that 2005 was over?   ©1984-2010 Toaraga EAM
