the speed of boredom


Tuesday, March 07, 2006

Blogger's been unhaappy with me for a day or two. I'm amazed I'm even logged in right now.

Spring Break has been fantastically busy so far and I still haven't gotten nearly enough work done, but I am enjoying a little bit of free time at least. Today I watched Good-Bye Lenin! and yesterday I finally saw Tim Burton's interpretation of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory and both were fantastic. I knew Good-Bye Lenin would be great, but it was a lot less humorous than I expected (I don't really know why I thought it would be a funny movie anyway) and I don't care what anyone says, I thought Charlie & the Chocolate Factory was a beautiful and heart-touching reinterpretation and everything made sense and it was just lovely.
I also got my new His Name Is Alive poster in the mail yesterday:

Its the official promo poster from their 1996 album Stars On ESP and is loosely based on the original cover art:

Stars On ESP was the first album Warn recorded after his parents died and he had the house all to himself. Feeling freed from any restrictions, Warn decided to look past the tape loops and dissonant guitar swoops of HNIA's first three albums and instead did his best to make a Beach Boys album, including "Universal Frequencies," a note-for-note recreation of "Good Vibrations." My favorite parts of the album are the three different versions of the same song, "This World Is Not My Home," "I Can't Live In This World Anymore," and "Last One," the last of which features the first appearance of vocalist Lovetta Pippin, who was also featured on 1998's Ft. Lake and 2006's Detrola and took center stage as HNIA's primary vocalist on 2000's Someday My Blues Will Cover The Earth and 2002's Last Night.

in between two websites, two print projects, a children's novel, and a variety of MoCCA issues, i am also working on a new layout for the Speed of Boredom. I've had this blog for almost three years now, with eight major graphic/layout changes in that time, all within the first year. this layout has started to become stagnant and i crave something new. because of my recent obsession with cascading style sheets, i'm trying to see just how much i can do with those before i rely on anything else like tables and graphics. nerd.
