Some times I feel a tad disheartened at this whole Multimedia business… at the prospect of trying, wanting to become a designer. That little voice in my head says who am I kidding? Every man and his Adobe suite claims to be a designer. Its such a tough industry where supply greatly exceeds demand. The internet is overstocked with people oozing talent from their pores. And I’m trudging along in my little course producing mediocre pieces of work.

Aiyah.

Is this not the most perfect dip you have ever seen? Look at the exquisite finish.

Bellissimo

And now, a photo live (somewhat) from Peru.

Look here, cute little rodents you see? Actually, these little critters are just waiting their turn on the chopping block. You see, guinea pigs make a fine Peruvian dish.

Yesterday I came to a sudden realisation that Spring is approaching. Exclamation point.

The sun is shining and the weather is noticeably warmer. Some where between the times that I spent locked in front of the computer/TV, flowers started to bloom and people started shedding their winter coats. It was a positively uplifting realisation. I like spring, purely for the fact that it brings me closer to summer. I long for summer, for exposed skin, for beaches and sunshine, for mangos and peaches, for pretty sun dresses. I think I have a very romanticised view of summer, for me sunshine and happiness skips hand-in-hand, when in reality summer is never as picture perfect as in my mind. But hey, a girl can dream.

This morning I woke to the sound of rain outside my window and a grey sky to match. The sun will not make an appearance all day, and I put on an extra warm jacket before leaving the house. That’s Me!bourne for ya.

postscript. Here is my head in the process of being modeled in Maya.

My final Flash assignment from last semester, which is also the second piece I’ve ever made in Flash. Its silly but kinda fun…. sorta…

I made a yummy pumpkin soup for dinner tonight. I’m quite proud of my pumpkin soups - one of the few things I can conjure up in the kitchen stadium. Other culinary delights under my belt include toasting bread in the oven, steamed veggies and the occasional fried rice. I am also a whizz with the microwave and caned goods. Funnily enough, I prepare most of the meals in this little ménage pour deux.

Horrah. finally figured out saving Quicktime for web ^^; Feel like such a noob. Need to improve on the web skills.

Anyway, second assignment for the animation class. Drawn with pencil on post-its. The breif required 30-40 post-its, but somehow mine turned out to be 84… whoops.
