movie

Last Monday Crystal, Kyle, and me all went to Bradley’s house to play Halo. It was a lot of fun. I hope we can get together more often to play. Then Tuesday Crystal came to college with Bradley and me. She watched a movie with me in my first class, anthropology, since there was a substitute teacher. We watched The Education of Shelby Knox. It is a documentary about a girl trying to get sexual education in her school. It deals with religious and sexual differences. Really, it wasn’t such a bad movie; it kept me watching it. It was terrible how the school board would just completely ignore the group’s opinion, and the protest against gays was absolutely sickening.

After second period we lost Crystal. We looked all over campus for her just to find out Paul left her in the wrong building. Nothing else really special happened at school worthy of talking about. After school we went to Bento Cafe. One of the waitresses gave us the wrong type of drink. She gave us boba teas with pearls but we asked for without. The pearls taste quite nasty in my opinion. When she came back with the new drinks, it was the same drink, but with the pearls scooped out. Since the straws were too small, the left over pearls in the tea got stuck in my straw. I was pretty angry and I really felt like punching the girl. Bento Cafe was my favorite restaurant, and I really don’t want to hate the place because some bitch screwing up my drink. I just wanted to take Crystal on a fun day out, but everything just seemed to go wrong.

Crappy Vector

I’ve always wanted to learn to vector awesome pictures. I’ve admired the style for as long as when my internet dwelling started. I finally decide to try to make a real vector image. I’ve been working on this project for about three hours. When I thought I was finally able to color it, I realized that I had screwed up. Not all of my paths were closed. In fact, not many of them were properly closed. With the paths not closed I can not color it. Could I go back and close them? I don’t really know, but if I could, it’d take probably just as long as it did for me to outline it. Oh well, trial and error. I just have to learn from my mistakes. What I learned:

  1. When new to a program, start with a simple project.
  2. Use a good quality picture when vectoring.
  3. CLOSE ALL PATHS for christ’s sake!!

The image I used was a picture of me in my new hoodie that came in today.
