2010 - new date, same old.

[keire_ke]

Hm... I think this may be my first post of 2010!

So, what's new? I pretty much passed chemistry (not the exam yet), though am considering retaking the test, to get a better overall grade. I've got straight As for the lab exercises, but Cs for the test, which unfortunately count towards 66% of the grade. :(

Much as I love Photoshop, it's not the most computer-friendly graphic software. I have been testing Seashore, which is usable, but only a step above Paint. Now, if anyone has any recommendation, I would love to hear them. I need software (preferably free) that reacts to pen pressure, has layers (though I'm flexible about that) and most importantly works on a Mac. I tried ChocoFlop, too, and it looks pretty good, though it is just a preview and works kinda weird.


I know there is someone on my Flist who watches Dollhouse. Now I'm of the opinion the show turned out splendid, especially the latter part of the second season - everything falls apart nicely. Especially in last night's episode. :) It also works best if you ignore everything you know about Joss Whedon shows, mind. There's little funnies, little snark, plenty of existentialism, existentialist angst and mind-screwing.



I don't much care for cell-shading. It's annoying!

Why yes, there is a storyline attached to it, why do you ask?

... for the love of god, someone take it off my hands (and head)!

I didn't feel the show properly until the second season (well, Alpha on screen and then Epitaph One) and what I did feel was for the background characters rather than Echo.

*more agreement from me* Sierra is the character who kept me watching, and then I developed some interest in Adelle, Victor and Topher. Alan Tudyk did a great job with Alpha and I liked Dr Saunders/Whiskey. It's strange that the main characters (Echo and Paul) did nothing for me at all and I did wonder if that was because Joss had a much longer, more off-beat arc he was working on (and one that was a fantasy on being an actor on a meta level), but again - too thinky. And if I hadn't been such a huge Joss fan to begin with, I doubt I'd have stuck with the show beyond the second episode.

Sierra, absolutely. Her and Victor - now when they started developing personalities, I felt it! :)

Trouble with Paul and Echo was that the first one was another cause at work, and Echo was someone else in each episode, which didn't help.

Hm, I did love the premise (screwing with brains? I am so there), so I was determined to stick it out. I'm glad I did. :>

You've seen it right the way through? I think I'm up to S2:6.

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

I've seen all the episodes that are out, if that's what you mean. :)

[kispexi2.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay. For some reason, I thought the last ep had aired already.

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

No, two have yet to air - the last episode and Epitaph Two. :)
