Breakfast

Cream of Wheat with banana nut granoal (from Bear Naked) and jumbo red raisins and a dash of sugar. Also, decaffeinated Yuban (rainforest safe) with Italian Creme creamer and a dash of sugar. (Sorry for the low picture quality).

I Miss Photoshop

It's been a very long time since I've done any creative work in Photoshop. And lately I feel this absence is producing feelings of wanting to BE creative. Lately I've wanted to draw and paint, the latter of which I'm not as great at as the former. I need to create something! So I'm downloading GIMP, since I cannot afford Photoshop for my Macbook at this time. I'm hoping it will be enough of an outlet to get this out of my system for the time being! An older version of Photoshop is installed on my older desktop, but after sprucing up my room I decided to store the desktop (under the bed, ahem) so it wouldn't take up too much real estate on my desk. We'll see how that goes!

Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall

A few days ago (maybe last weekend?) I went browsing through a local bargain store for a great mirror to add to my room. I used to keep a small, gold framed mirror in my room, but when I moved away to college the mirror was taken and put in the bathroom. While at school I was shopping with Jeff and found a beautiful silver framed mirror that was very sparkly and girly and wonderful and I didn't buy it at the time. A mistake. So when I went looking last Sunday I was hoping to find something similar, which I didn't, and instead found a great gold framed mirror that is very large and very inexpensive. Today I'm going to go pick it up and make it fit into my room somehow. I've been working with a lot of browns and creams and gold colors in my room but everything is sort of mashed up at this point. I think it will look okay no matter what.

Now for something colorful and happier

A Dismal Glimpse of North Korea

In light of the recent happenings involving the two American journalists (one of which is the sister of uber-journalist Lisa Ling), it seems as if North Korea is on everyone's minds, even in unlikely places (multiple NKorea posts on ONTD!)  I've watched Lisa Ling deliver amazing documentaries since I was in the 9th grade and she was on Channel One.  I was linked to these 5 videos about the prison life within NKorea.  Check it out:
