More comments on other classmates blogs

I began with a post on, http://bigesizethat.blogspot.com/, talking about one of their posts on funy headlines:

I really enjoyed this post a lot, This kind of stuff is really funny. It helps the content of the page out a lot.

Sick of it.

Well, by some miracle, or lack there of I should say, I have successfully gotten sick three times this quarter, all of which have thoroughly burden my working/school/working out. I have gotten very little time to work on any sketches for my class, or my paper, or this blog actually. I really need to kick it in here, or I'll be screwed come end of the month. Still working on some design issues I am having here as well so hopefully I can get this all sorted out.

One final post before I head off to class

Just wanted to put this band out there, I have been listening to them for quite some time now and don't think too many people listen to them, but what do I know. Once I get some more time I would love to review some more local bands I just haven't had the time to go to any concerts recently. I would say there sound isn't for everyone but I enjoy them a lot. They have a lot of playful songs, and randge from lively to mellow. The band by the way is, Menomena, who are based out of Portland, Oregon.

Their Myspace Page

Some of My favorite songs, I couldn't find good quality examples out of a few so I omitted them.

Menomena-Wet and Rusting


Menomena-Air Aid

Busy

I have been really busy lately, so I haven't been able to post any work of my own, but hopefully that will change soon. I don't have many works but we'll see what I can do. The image below is something I did for a final in one of my classes, the image actually sat on an end table that match the grain exactly. This view is kind of deceiving because the image is 8x10 on a large end table so he looks like a small man coming out of the wood. If I can find a picture of my piece when it was up I'll gladly post it.

Jersey designs

Well I am working on a sort of simple design depending on how it turns out for jerseys for my summer club team. I am hand drawing most of the designs for now, just sketching what I can then I will translate those into crisper images on the computer. I am trying to incorporate our old design into the new one with the theme of heroes and villains which is turning out well. I will post the designs later once I have them finished and may post some partial sketches as they get finished.

A new day has dawned.

Well, last night I went to a concert with Louis XIV, Hot Hot Heat, and Editors, which was pretty darn good. I had a really good time and the editors were much much better than I saw coming and of course Hot Hot heat was pretty good. Sadly I couldn't get there in time to see Louis XIV play but from what I heard they rocked out. Outside of those bands, I am going to bring a new band to the table, I have known this one for awhile but not a lot of people I know have heard of them, if any so here we go.

A little over half a year ago I came across a band called The Sunshine underground, who are kind of Brit popish. I have a little weakness in me for bands of this genre (ie. Arctic Monkeys and Hard-Fi) so I had no problem getting into them. They have a lot of energy to their music and a great singer, whose voice always surprises me when I hear it. Apparently they have been getting some play on mtv according to one site but I hope not.

Comments eh?

So today we are supposed to comment on classmates blogs which I of course give into the man and do, because I need a good grade.


The first blog I chose to comment on was a blog called EstherFranklin
Upon reading I commented:

"The photos really drag my interest to the posts, much better than pure text would. The blog also has a nice clean layout to it."

I also recently reviewed a classmates blog, Graphics overload, and found myself reading over it again and enjoying the new links and posts he has made.
My comment on his progress as of now:

"Strangely I find myself back here looking through your links and posts and find some really interesting stuff. The paper designs were amazing to be frank."

The final blog I commented on was, More Than You Can Handle, in which I was curious how to change the template background.
So I asked:

"Hey, I am in your 353 class and was wondering if you used a template to make a background on your blog or have html code that placed it back in there. I was looking to do something similar with my blog."
