art on mah new laptop!

On my new laptop, there's this other painting ap called corel paint, which is really awesome. There's a whole bunch of new brushes, like air brush, pen, chalk, pastel, etc. So, I took advantage of this new awesomeness and painted some disturbing scenes.

Very... Disturbing...Very... I am a disturbing person. Thus, I reflect my disturbingness in...

And a disturbing self portrait! :D

I drew it by looking into my reflection on the screen (thats how shiny it is) and sort of drew it like that, but I got the proportions all funny. But who cares???

DISTURB!

Armstrongs

"Who sang that song, What a Wonderful World?"

"Neil Armstrong."

"Isn't he the guy who went onto the moon?"

"Oh... then Lance Armstrong."

"Thats the biker with cancer."

"..."

"Its Louis Armstrong."

"I knew that."

STAR testing torture...

Gotta New Laptop :D

I GOT A NEW LAPTOP :D

Its an HP touchsmart :D Look at the prettee designs... (*w*)

My old computer always made these funny buzzing noises, which was rather annoying. This new one is amazingly quiet. *sighs in awed bliss*

Now for the wordy review stuff.

The new laptop has a touch screen (aw-summmm) and it is actually very reactive to the finger or provided stylus, unlike some other laptops. The right-click command takes a bit more time to carry out than on a normal computer mouse, so in some cases, when working with the files and stuff, a mouse would be more efficient. But its awesome to draw with the stylus--much better than a normal computer. :D (1)

Also, the top screen can turn and lie flat like a tablet. <(*w*)> Tho, when I turn it, I have to wrestle with all the cables and such to turn it the write way. (*^*) But still, not bad. :D Also, when lying flat, the keyboard is covered, so you can write with your stylus. This little popup comes out at every text area, and you can write out the words and it would type it in. Also, if your handwriting is so unintelligable the awesome laptop cannot guess right, there's a keyboard you can click. Not as cool, but still.

Plus, there's a voice command thing-y! In the HP touchsmart central, a HP touchsmart exluuusive (itink) program that lets your organize pictures, videos, media, and the like, in the picture section you can use voice commands! (*o*) GASP. After going through a voice tester recognizer thing-y, you can use voice commands such as zoom in, zoom out, invert, straighten, add label. Aw-summmmm :D (2)

I am a happ-ay kitt-ay.

(1) Don't you just dislike drawing on paint or a drawing pad ap wth a mouse? It gets all wobbly and the picture turns out all funny.

(2) So far, I've only seen the voice command awesomeness in the picture section in HP touchsmart central. D: I like it for its novelty, not for its convenience. XD

EPIC FAIL cookies

Today after school, I attempted to bake cookies.

Long story short: I FAILED.

It looked all chunky, so I added alot of oil...

It still turned out chunky.

And I didn't even bake it. I messed up the batter and when my mom baked it (if I did, the oven would have probably implode, not explode, implode) it came out all crumby because I added so much oil.

Challenge: Whomever can pick it up with one hand for five seconds without it crumbling into powder deserves a prize!* *the cookie. nomnom... although the texture wasn't the best, it was still sweet. :D

SF trip

A few days ago, I went to San Francisco with my art teacher and some other students.

We got there on bart and took a ferry boat ride. And thankfully I didn't get sea sick, although it was only about 45 minutes long.There, we saw the bay bridge.After that, we walked a bit on the streets. There were alot of interesting people...

And I also noticed there was a whole lot more graffiti everywhere than my home city.Our destination was the De Young Legion of Honor, an art museum. I don't think we were allowed to take any pictures inside there, though...

Later, we ascended to the ninth floor, where you can see all of SF! So pretty...

At the gift shop I bought a spiffy looking pencil and two pins. It was quite expensive, especially since I cannot seem to locate them now...

BUNNY!

In my brother's class, they were making a packaging for soaps. Its almost easter, so it was a bunny. Its really creative and cute!

We might use it in the future for packaging, too. :D

Baa baa pink sheep, have you any soap?

Today, April 1st is Taylor's birthday! Yesterday my mom and I made some soap sheep!We put in in plastic bags and stapled it with a doily!So cute! If you're reading this... Happy Birthday Taylor!
