Dr. Manhattan wallpaper

Just a variant of Rorschach’s wallpaper…

same resources as well.

Because there is good and there is evil…

Sorry about the lack of updates people but school and work’s been keeping me busy but I managed to get a new wallpaper done in time for Watchmen.

One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite characters in wallpaper form.

Images: Watchmen promotional images

font: A Series of Unfortunate Events (de-warped)

Quote: “Because there is good and there is evil, and evil must be punished.  Even in the face of Armageddon I shall not compromise in this.” Rorschach’s journal (Watchmen chapter 1) by Alan Moore

Of color psychology and tables

#804000, UPS, chocolate, trees, and Student Center tables. What do they have in common?

They’re brown of course.

What’s so special about brown you ask, why it’s the greatest color in all the world! (which is even more appropriate considering the things that are brown)

For instance according to color psychology the color brown says stability, reliability, and approachability as well as conveys a feeling of wholesomeness, stability, connection with the earth, and offers a sense orderliness. It is also associated with all things natural or organic. In fact people who study dreams believe if you dream of the color brown you’ll have luck with money.

What brought about my waxing of the greatness of the color brown you ask? Well on Friday I decided before heading off to study for finals that I’d eat over at the student center since I’ll probably not be back at school (after finals) until next quarter (I love Greens to Go, for more reasons than my love for green but I digress) and I decided to sit at my favorite brown tables.

I don’t think people really, truly appreciate the greatness that is those tables. Seriously, have you ever SAT at one of them. They’re GREAT. They’re sturdy, comfortable, out in the open, and get plenty of sunlight. And people just walk by them or sit inside in those chintzy grey tables and their fancy booths.

Seriously it’s like no one appreciates a good table now a days. It’s not like you can stand on the grey tables (like they could hold the weight hah!) let alone fit as many people in them. Besides the brown tables are where everything is at. The music on the stage, the people walking around, and the sunshine. The glorious yellowy sunshine.

Anyways, I was trying to make a point somewhere in this post, but umm anyways people should really sit at a brown table. They need love too.

Twilight review

As of last night I’ve seen the movie twice and while it has its cringe-inducing moments its an enjoyable film.

I have to agree with many of the posters though in that I felt that the film felt rushed and failed to establish the relationship between Bella and Edward.  You kind of get the sense that they love each other (and Rob and Kristen have wonderful chemistry) but for anyone who hasn’t read the books (like my friend Kevin who we dragged to the midnight showing) its hard to understand the characters’ motivations.  Why would Edward risk his family for this girl?  Why would Bella like this guy who’s treated her like crap in the beginning of the movie?

In addition scenes aren’t fully explained.  How are people who haven’t read the books supposed to know the significance of the Meadow?  The Piano scene? Or the Cullen family’s role and relationships in the franchise?  Part of the success of a franchise and the key to its longevity is the ability of the series to pick up new readers/watchers; and while that requires things to be mainstream for the general public it is why other franchises are able to pull in huge numbers (Harry Potter, Narnia, and LOTR are some examples), I think that Hardwicke should have focused on making the film friendly to both book fans and potential fans.

That being said. I did find the film enjoyable even if it didn’t have some of the scenes I wanted.  (I really wished that they had the blood typing, lunch with Edward, Tyler trying to ask Bella out, Cullen family scenes….the movie could of used 30 more minutes of character development imho it was only 2 hrs 2 mins anyways)

However, there were some scenes that I loved.  To name a few there’s:
- The baseball scene
- Visiting the Cullens
- Anything with Eric or Charlie (both were great)
- “I hope you enjoy disappointment.”
- “As if you could outrun me.” (one of the moments where Rob’s delivery was great, he’s better playing Midnight Sun [aka Edward's POV] Edward than Perfect/Twilight/Bella’s POV Edward imho)
- “Everyone’s staring. ” “No not that guy…nevermind he looked.”
- The end of the prom dance scene, “Is it not enough to spend the rest of your life with me?” (paraphrased because I can’t remember the whole line XD)

Scenes I didn’t like:
- The biology scene (I understand that SM says that he is supposed to look like he smelled something foul [and he covers his nose and mouth]  Hardwicke didn’t need to keep cutting back to it.  It should have been a quick shot and then any glances back should have been Edward scooting away or glaring)
- Billy DRIVING the car as he’s glaring at Edward (he freakin’ handicapped that’s why Jacob drives him everywhere and why Bella has the truck)
- Edward looking like he was mauled by Tinkerbell.  (I always though he’d look crystalline in structure not like if he was thinking happy thoughts he could fly)

Overall I like who they cast as the characters (Kristen does this annoying twitching thing in the hospital but I can live) and Rob’s expressions are a little over dramatic but after they have some more time with the characters I think they’ll hone their performances.

Sorry for the wall of text. XD

More Twilight wallpapers

Okay here’s another wallpaper (just two versions)

 

Alice and Jasper XD

Since I liked the look of my latest Edward wallpapers I decided to try it with Alice and Jasper (I would have done a wallpaper for each but all the promo pictures has both of them together).

Again the word cloud is made with Wordle.

Oh yeah if there is a demand I’ll post the pdfs of the word clouds for people’s use.

Edward wallpapers…again

I really need to get other wallpapers done (and poor L’Arc has been getting ignored as of late ), but I been messing with Wordle after playing with it with L’Arc songs (as soon as I get a decent looking one I’ll probably make L’Arc wallpapers with them) and decided to try it with quotes.  And since my friend wanted another Edward wallpaper I caved in and did another.
