... than dA's new user interface.
"It sucks because it's new. It sucks because it's different. I don't know where the hell things are anymore."
All sound like complaining for the sake of complaining. I'm sorry, I'm a web designer myself and I can't stand it when massive amounts of people bitch whenever a site makes an update, regardless of what the update actually is.
Sure, some UI decisions in v7 were counter-intuitive and loading time could be improved. But overall I found it very easy to get used to.
Imagine if the gym at your school/institution/whatever got torn down and the new gym had a makeover with new equipment and such, would you complain about the machines being on different floors? Okay maybe you would but not likely in a bashing "how DARE they, I want the OLD gym back" kind of way.
Well new technologies develop, web standards change, people's expectations of web services change, and websites need to keep up with them. A new look and feel ain't gonna satisfy everyone, that's understandable, but screaming for the old one back because you refuse to get used to the new one is just childish.
Just sayin', because I think v.7 is sleek and awesome. I'm sure the devs are working on improvements.

The end of a beginning

Well I learned a lot this year, about people, about art, and about myself. The following are a manifestation of my thoughts at this moment, or rather.. the past 15 minutes since I'm a slow typer.
My arduino fits in a mint case that I bought for $0.99. The mints taste horrible. They kind of have the texture of those valentines day heart candies.
Why do people eat mints? I'd only have one to freshen my breath, otherwise it's like I'm swallowing gum. Actually I lie, I'm eating those mints now, but that's only because chewing something makes me feel more productive.
My housemates are upstairs blasting that stupid tic toc song by ke$ha. Her songs are catchy and all but seriously I think her voice sounds like she's trying too hard to get someone in bed. It's so... seductively.. fake. I hope she doesn't speak like that in real life, it'd be so tiring.
My paper on creativity and intelligence is due in t minus 4 hours and I pack my room and leave this house in t minus 36 hours. I seriously can't wait, it's not like I'm moving far, only two/three blocks away. I went to my new apartment a couple of hours ago to take some measurements in my room, and realized it is freaking huge. I can put 2 beds in the room if I wanted to, and lots of closet space to stash away stuff that I don't want other people to see. The guy at f13 booth at FITC says he'll give me a student discount, it looks like I need another excuse to go up to Toronto and buy ISo50's posters at his store.
Why do people think it's okay to walk into someone's life, make a mess, then leave? It's never okay. If you know that and you still do it you're a sadistic attention whore.
I've been putting more effort into forming connections with people this past month. I wish I could say there has been progress. I'm tired of talking with people who are just so self-absorbed, although I can say the same about myself to some extent. Maybe we're all at this age where life demands too much out of us. It's like we're racing to achieve something without knowing whatever it is will make us happy... which is thrilling yet messed up at the same time.
This summer is going to be great. There will be afternoons spent outside in the sun, and weekends spent on building Arduino projects and poking around with code.
Friends, books, art, gym, code, parties, that's how it's gonna go down.
Now back to that paper I should be finishing.

Dear art,
I'll come back for you,
as soon as I find my balance.
Love,
Hannah

I'd love to hook up my twitter update to this journal, but since that could only be made possible with a sub, you'll just have be bothered with an extra click: twitter.com/herlifeinpixels
I've been listening to a lot of 3OH!3 lately. They are 2 white guys rapping obscene lyrics and dropping electro beats. Too catchy to ignore. Check out:
Starstrukk: www.youtube.com/watch?v=utrAA4… || I'm not your Boyfriend, Baby! www.youtube.com/watch?v=utrAA4… || Richman: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbZrHq… || Colorado Sunrise: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgPpcI…
These 4 songs has been on repeat for a good 3 weeks. (I'm one of those annoying people who makes a playlist of 10 songs or less and plays it over and over)
My friend's scale tells me that I've dropped 12 pounds since June-ish. Woohoo! I've become a health freak this summer. I lost my combo lock for the gym so I've been jogging/running an average of 5k a day for the last 3 weeks. Green tea, 1 cup of protein shake and 1 can of V8 a day and eating lots of raw food. It does wonders to your body.
Overall it's been a good summer. Got my sanity back, whipped myself back in shape, made a good living, had fun. Friends are slowly moving back in town for the school year. Life is a-okay.
