And so...

{summer ends, and the autumn air drapes itself across me. But it is refreshing, and somehow soothing. The sky looks further than before.}

Today is my last day of summer <3 And quite literally, the last day of the season too. I planned on sleeping soundly for most of the day, but I was woken up early by my phone. A friend is heading back to western today, so she, myself, and another friend went for some coffee to say our goodbyes.
I'm feeling a lot better than last week. I guess you could say I'm fully cured, despite the occational sloth moment. This sloth will be in ultra status from now on though. There won't be anymore time to sleep in late and do as I please. School will make or break me. I'm excited, and a little bit scared, but it is something I'm hoping will fulfill me. Even though it's my sophomore year of college, I still feel so new to this. I feel like I should still be in grade school...how did time pass me by?

Since school will take up most of my time now, I'll mostly be focusing on things in this fashion:
1.)School.
2.) Friends and Fam (aka hang out sesh, concerts, road trips, parties, snowboarding etc.)
3.) Work.
4.) Personal things. (my art, writing, and photography)
5.) CTAS.
6.) One Main Amv Project at a time.
7.) K-On Fandub.
8.) MEP's.
I'm sure all of this will vary from time to time. I do want to have one main project going on. CTAS will also be a main focus, above most of my editing. K-On fandub hasn't established it's importance yet, but it could in the future. MEP's are near and dear to me, but I'm only taking part in a few at a time. I'll really have to be interested to say yes.
Anyway, sorry to bore.

Feat. video of the week is this amazing piece of work.
Some have told me this anime is a bit strange, but the animation looks beautiful, and I'm really tempted to begin watching it.

Also, please watch this. Por favor!
[Shattered]
I know, since when am I an HP fan? But it's Draco <333 Come on.

I get paid today...Ima paid, biz. I need to go buy paper or something lol. And wash my God awful car. It's filthy.

Wish me luck in school this week. I can't believe it's starting... I'll miss summer. But there's a lot to look forward to in autumn too :] I turn 20 in 24 days!! Oh gosh.

I'm at the 3:08 mark in my project! Out of 5:10, I think that's pretty good progress, considering I started like over a month ago XD! This will be dedicated to you guys <3 It's for me too, a bit. The message I want it to portray is an important one for everyone, including myself. Because you're all so dear to me and keep my spirit creating, I wanted to give this project my all. I'm finding more and more inspiration every day. I hope I can pass that inspiration on through my work.

{love.}

last summer days

I always miss summer when it goes. Summer for me is a time of free spirits and good times. I feel like this summer came and went so abruptly.
Much has happened though, most of which I'm grateful for <3 I have high hopes for the coming season. I hope everyone had an amazing summer, and are taking memories with them :]

Have I reached my corny/mushy level yet? :3



This week had been quiet and slow. I've been sick since last weekend and have missed work. Hoping to get over this by the time school starts..... in 6 days -___- Oh woe is I!! But the doc told me to rest my weary bones, so that's what I've been doing!
This has given me extra time to work on things like CTAS and some projects of mine. Scripting is finally done btw for CTAS, and now we're waiting on lines! I'll start editing bits at a time. Probably you can expect the episode to be out by the end of the month, at the latest. (Depending on how rough school treats me.)



Shockingly, I decided to take a dangerous leap and start a K-On Fandub! I'm actually really excited for it, but the progress of this project lies entirely in the auditioners hands. If I don't get a huge response and find the right VA's for my cast, then I might just drop the project. I can't be wasting my time now that college will be back in my life.
It's going to be a rough year.... I'm dreading math, but I'm going to try and get all my math classes done this year. So that means A LOT of studying and possibly tutoring... ugh. But I gotta face the music sometime, right?



I'm still slowly working on my main project... but I'm finding less and less inspiration for it. I haven't been able to just sit down and finish an amv in so long. (so long must mean a week or two, right? lol)
I'm hoping to just work on one thing at a time through the course of the school year. I may still participate in mep's, but very seldom. This won't affect VA work or Clannad abridged though. I'll try to keep a steady pace with those.

Feat. video of the week:


This is quite the masterpiece, I was astonished when I watched. This is the type of editing I admire. [sorry for the strange cut off in all these feat. videos. Thank YT for being rude in more ways than one.)


"Tama. You cannot strip here."
And so…the plot thickens xD

Live well and love often.
So long sweet summer
<3

{we used to leave the blue lights on}

95
{and there was a beat.}

Bumbershoot 09 was pretty much the most epic way to end the summer. I don't even know where to begin!
I was there on Saturday the 5th and Monday the 7th, and saw Natalie Portman's Shaved Head (a current favorite), All-American Rejects, Telekinesis, The Knux, Black Eyed Peas, Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse, and Metric (another current favorite). There was so much going on... Dance parties in tents, shopping the indie markets, crowd surfing, and Flatstock. Crowd surfing was MAJOR Bomb. Once I did it, I was so pumped. We did it once during Franz and again during Modest Mouse. I got right up to the front of the stage, in the mess of it all. So brutal, in terms of being thrown at least 20 feet in the air and then landing on top of people who are unaware of your arrival from the sky above haha. I must have a ton of fresh bruises, but I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Flatstock was the band poster expedition, where indie artists came to showcase their work. Seriously I could have stayed in the showcase all day, both days. Indie art is something I'm personally passionate about, so I was basically forcing my friends to go through the exhibit countless number of times. I'm sure I drove them crazy, but it couldn't be helped. I was in love.
Overall, both days were amazing. Black Eyed Peas, Franz, and Metric were my favorite bands to see, I think. If anyone wants to check out my pictures, just ask me for my facebook account. I should really put them up on flicker too....man I haven't updated that thing in ages.

Anyway, not much else happened this past week. I saw Ponyo! So adorable. Uhh, reunited with a few friends, got my tuition stuff taken care of... Ready for classes to start on the 22nd. Holy F Bomb, that's like...2 weeks away. I'm not looking forward to the immense homework and studying, but I'm excited about school to start. With Autumn must come great changes... despite my love for summer.
My birthday is almost a month away 0__o I'm going to be 20.....Jules 2.0! Idk if I can handle that upgrade ahah....

Ouran is love. Tama is Love. He's become my favorite fictional male :3 When did this happen! Oh Tama, you please me so...


Feat. Video!!!!


The small yet gorgeous preview xKaosu uploaded for 9/9/09. I'm so truly looking forward to the premiere <3

Currently, I am locked in an editing pause. I can't seem to work on anything, though my mind is overflowing with ideas! I wanted to continue my main project, but I have a feeling it will take much more than what I am expecting it will take to complete it in a timely manner. Instead I veered off to finish CTAS 02 script, which is finally done now. We're waiting for the proof readers opinions to move ahead or to fix things. I'm glad we have the script done now. I can't lie, it gets very aggravating when you know you have this daunting task on your shoulders. I want Clannad Abridged to be fun for everyone. Hopefully it will reach that level.

Anyway...I think I've ranted enough.

Thanks for 600+ subs @ Warmhearted Productions. I love you all so much, you inspire and bring out the best in me. I hope to continue creating.

Live and love, my friends.

overflow inspiration}.

-interpretation-

[sick and amazing. the waves of sound pounding at the roof of my mind. pushing me off the regretless edge of transmission. take over my life, i am already lost in the white noise of technicolor inspiration.

when can I expect you to be sitting right there beside me? the only way is up, and i am already there//far in the atmosphere where you can't find me.]

Summer is leaving! The first September day. But to my astonishment, I'm looking forward to school and seeing new faces, experiencing new things.
This week was really my last chance to be listless. 6 days of work, and determination to finish my {distant star} video. I've wondered so far from my main project that I almost have no focus to complete it! But I will. The ideas in my mind are just so much, and I always lose space to keep track of them all.

I started reading Ouran today! Yes. After I finish I want to work on my film ideas <33 I'm new at manga editing, but I'm determined to get it down.

When did I begin to like rainy autumn days? It feels so good, like the world is fresh again.

I'm beginning to wonder how I'm going to take on another job, be at classes from 8 a.m. til 12:30 p.m. Tues-Fri, getting homework and studying done, have time for parties and friends, as well as any hobby... it's going to be such a rough year and to be honest I'm tripping out. Hopefully I can find it in me to keep going... there has to be something waiting for me up this steep mountain.

ft. video this week is the K-On! bebop Parody... I think from a mad editor. Pretty F Bomb awesome.


I'm so unbelievably STOKED for Bumbershoot 09 this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See you there? Maybe? Be there Saturday and possibly Monday. [crossed fingers]

love is blue in the sky at 6:47 p.m.
