Electric Monkey Pants

Well, I’m finally starting to update this website a bit. The links have been changed a bit. There’s a lot of new ones, too. I included a link to my new webpage, which is for my band, Trees Eat People. Check it out. It’s all being hand coded, unlike this page. 🙂 I think I’m getting the hang of HTML, although Dreamweaver does things a bit differently.

I finally exchanged my camera for a new and cooler one. I got the HP812 for Christmas, but I decided I wanted something a bit smaller, so I upgraded to the Canon s230 digital elph. It’s a pimp camera, man. It’s got all the features I wanted, including long exposures (up to 15 seconds!). Needless to say, I’ve already been taking advantage of that feature; it resulted in one of the best pictures I’ve ever taken. I’ll put it, and some others up eventually, but don’t hold your breath. I’d have to completely redo the menu bars above in order to fit in an “Art” tab. I’m thinking about whether I should add anything else before I commit. For now, I have a shitload of homework, including making some animated GIFs and some crazy buttons in Director. This is gonna be a busy quarter…

What’s up, y’all. I’m back at it after a nice long winter break. Of course, my work is never done; I’m in school right now working on improving my mad HTML coding skillz. Since I have none, this shouldn’t be too tricky. Yeah, the web looks different when viewed in raw code, but it’s somewhat like the Matrix, I guess.

Anyway, X-mas break was rather exciting, but nothing too amazing. I got too drunk on New Years Eve and I spent all of New Years Day in bed or puking. That sucked. I think I might’ve had a stomach flu because it was like no hangover I’ve ever experienced.

In other news, it was great that Matt and Niki came back for a brief spat of Christmas-time fun. We got some partying and some jamming in. I can’t wait to mix it, but I’m waiting for ProTools 6 for OS X. I can’t stand to boot into OS 9 anymore. I’m still working on the cover for our older jam sessions, too. I’m getting some good Photoshop practice, I think. I need more images, tho. I’ve got much of the interior done. Now, all that remains is the front cover. I’ve been waiting for inspiration to strike. I know it will have something to do with the Fibonacci series…

Hey hey kids! Krusty the Tim here! I just finished up my second-to-last final. This very webpage is the last one. I’m currently adding that cool blue navbar that you see above this text. It should take you where ever you want to go….in style.

I actually got 100% in my last class, Network Infrastructures; as in, I didn’t miss a single point all quarter (the prof graded the tests in class). Actually, I missed a few, but I made up for them with a few extra credit points. That class was cool, and I learned a lot. I also handed in my Pollock painting (still sore). I think I got an A in art history, too. I dunno how I did it – it was a 7 o’clock class!!! It was forged in the fiery pits of Mordor. Speaking of that, I saw LOTR: Two Towers two nights ago. It was quite good. A solid sequel (although it’s really more of a continuation), and quite fun to watch. They changed quite a few things from the book – I was surprised to find that they saved Shelob’s lair for the third movie. It’s just as well, but it would’ve made for a great cliffhanger. Now I can’t wait for that 3rd movie!

Okay, I’m back at it, y’all. I can’t believe I’m sore from painting. How does that even happen? Well, it might have something to do with painting in Jackson Pollock’s style, which is surprisingly physical. My back and arms are sore from attacking the canvas with my brush; using the paint as a projectile because it’s no bueno to actually touch the canvas when you’re doing splatter/drip painting style.

In other news, Finals Week is in full swing, but I think I’m ahead of things. I’ve still got a shitload of work to do for my Typography class, in which the final project is due Thursday. If you remember what comes out on Wednesday, you see my dilemma. Hell, I’ve got tickets already. Yep, Lord of the Rings, baby – so I’d better get that project done ahead of time or I’m gonna be up awfully late. I’m getting tired of those late night Kinko’s runs.

Hey, I’m Tim and this is the first entry in my stupendous weblog (or “blog” if you’re cool). Check back constantly (obsessively, if you like) for more updates and juicy tidbits about all the celebrity servants I’ve slept with….uh yeah.
