assessment time

ok so assessment is tomorrow and I am here to tell you about the interestingness i have bestowed upon you for this assessment as well as of course checking off all the things i had to do...

flickr
Flickr has become an important tool for me, for sharing photos with friends, its so much easier to send a link to my flickr account than to send all the photos by email, because of this I've been uploading and using titles and descriptions. At first the tags were hard to do because i was trying to think "what would everyone else put these under" then i remembered thats the beauty of tags-its for me to decided what i think they should be tagged as. I joined the MPI104 group and checked out peoples photos leaving comments on the ones i loved and adding favorites as i went. I even came across a couple of friends flickr accounts and added them as contacts as well as classmate.

del.icio.us
Del.icio.us was a lot harder for me to get used to using, i think because i haven't been using the internet as much as a should or as broadly as i should (myspace just traps me in its little world)so i was finding it hard to bookmark as i wasn't visiting anywhere new. I can see the advantage of it, and I'm sure when i get back into scanning the web for things it will make keeping good pages handy a lot easier. I think work wise it would be a good tool especially in the design industry by way of keeping inspirations on hand and easy to share with workmates. So i managed to save bookmarks, give them descriptions and tags that i feel work and are easy to navigate, i even managed to bundle some tags, which was a handy option as so much of what you bookmark is in groups. I networked and became fans of MPI104-2007 students.


Blogger
Good old blogging.While i find my blog interesting (because its about me-and who doesn't find themselves interesting?) there will always be those out there who don't, and thats in itself the beauty of a blog-you can find one on what your interested in..be that music, movies or just listening to someone having a rant...I think the hard thing about doing a blog for this class is knowing you lecturer and your class mates are going to read it. I put my favorite links in the sidebar-these are the pages i visit the most. I put the all important links to relevant info in my posts and photos when points needed to be made-otherwise it would just be me rambling-and thats boring. I commented others posts when i found i had something to say. I tried a few different templates...but the one i settled on i obviously liked the best..then i set about changing what i didn't like about it. I even added a counter-which hopefully will go up! In the end i actually enjoyed having my little soap box to shout from!

All in all I think i made my Flickr Del.icio.us and Blogger accounts as interesting as i could have. Hopefully my ever increasing skills will enable me to make them more interesting as the time goes on.

technorati

hey all
just adding my blog to technorati.
check out my Profile there.

300

I went and saw 300 the other day and i have to say it was awesome, very gory and loud but visually it was amazing! I am not a fan of war movies they make me feel depressed that man kind is that power hungry and this movie was no exception-i felt really sad afterwards knowing that all that bloodshed had gone on. However they certainly made it watchable, the men were magnificent, the Queen was absolutely beautiful, the background was perfect. It was a visually stunning movie and i was left breathless after watching it. It seems inconceivable to me that someone is capable of doing that, of making something look that good, or real!
Aside from the amazing visuals for the movie i have to agree with David from At The Movies the film is lacking in actual story and what story there is gets lost by the battle field amongst the gore!
But it was nice to watch and its the first time Ive been to the movies in ages (damn being a poor uni student) so i cant complain too much...now does anyone have a freeze frame of those guys with the muscles???

Big Brother

Its back again people...BIG BROTHER is finally here and love it or hate it its on so much and advertised so extensively that you cant ignore it!
I am sorry to the haters...and there are many...but i will be tuning in to see what the latest bunch of "diverse aussie" have in store for us this year!!

Swearing, anger and ITM forums winge follows...

My lovely boyfriend is an ardent reader of the in the mix forums...and so i have been known to take a look at them from time to time...But i really should stop, every time i have a read them i am left feeling sad and confused...i don't get it-do these people have nothing better to do with there time than have a go at everyone else on the planet...seriously...
I had the "privilege" of being mentioned on the forums after field day this year-for being "kidnapped" by the loose cannons i was branded a "fuzzy princess who was there to look good and didn't care about the music"...and who was "too fucked off my face to know what hit me" when i was taped up.I am not a fuzzy princess although if i was that good looking i would probably parade around in skimpy clothes like they do...I was not fucked off my face..i hadn't even touched drugs or alcohol-i was excited that my favorite djs had got me up on stage!
the best thing happened to me today when reading in the mix..i found this guy who had obviously been feeling the way i did...this was his post...

I love it! So true...Its like everyone else on the forum was so busy thinking they are perfect and everything they do is better than what everyone else does..i mean god forbid you should stand out!
Fuck that-I want to stand out-AND i love the music..i have to travel 5 hours to go to any of these events so im going to enjoy it and im going to look good doing so!
I happen to think the modular kids/bang gangers are funny as... they provide much entertainment.If you were as K'ed of your heads as they are you'd be rude to-they dont even know what they are doing!
Some people get excited about the djs they love...im sorry but im not too cool to admit that getting up on stage with the cannons was a huge fucking highlight for me...so what!

Heres an idea...stop spending your time having a go at everyone and pay some attention to the music...
or even better just shut the fuck up...just let them be and stop judging people for being cool with there friends and having fun!

and P.S. Tsubis are the comfiest jeans i own...maybe your ass is just too big to comprehend that????

and here is a pic of us...dressed up as modular kids and ormz apparently dressed up as rod stewart...

Harry Potter

I have to admit i am a huge fan of Harry Potter, i know it seems sad to be 24 and a big fan, but i blame the fact that i have such young sisters (15 and 12) and a very vivid imagination. I am both happy and sad to find that the latest and final book in the series is being released in July this year.What will I do if Harry dies,if evil wins...the good thing is i will still have the terrible movies to look forward to,you know the ones that always rip the book to pieces and leave out really important bits and have the kids who cant act...ok so i love them to, but really nothing beats a good book!

WE LOVE...TIGA

Thats right people We Love Sounds this year is featuring the GOD that is TIGA!!!!YAY! so excited...should be a wicked day providing funds cover it!

flickr

After using photobucket for as long as I've had my myspace which is a while...it was a big change to use flickr, I'm still getting used to where things are and how they work. The image quality is heaps better, and it is easier to upload lots of photos at once. I am now thinking of paying for the pro account as that seems even better again, and would make it easier to organise my photos as you can have more sets and in my book anything that makes life easier and more organised is a winner.
I uploaded a whole heaps of photos that I've taken and some that other people have taken. My favorite photo that i took would be this one

which i took for our grp223 assignment.
if you would like to check out more of my photos check them out at Tabbithas Flickr account and feel free to leave a comment to let me know what you think.
