heartstrings

Yesterday, my baby guitar's D-string broke. I am not amused. Would someone please fix it for me? I was suggested to go online to learn how to string a guitar, we shall see how desperate I am to play.


In other news, I was volunteered to petsit for a friend's dog. The dog's name is Sarah and she is a black chihuahua mix, and I am honestly having mixed feelings about it, because I don't think Sarah likes me very much. I have wanted a pup all my life, and I absolutely adore dogs, but Sarah is different. She seems to always want to bite me, snarling and growling at me with her canine teeth.
-shiver me timbers-

Today I had a dream about an old friend, how strange that of all the people in my life that friend was there. Because of that dream, I decided to call my friend up and we got to go to dinner and catchh up like old times! :D ... and funny thing is that in my dream I really believed that my friend was mad at me and was ignoring me, oh silly imagination.

I HAVE BEEN TYING MY SHOES INCORRECTLY MY WHOLE LIFE!!!


Gosh do I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE TED TALKS

In another TED TALK I learned about creative ways a programmer learned to connect people from all over the world with music projects. Like Wilderness Downtown which is a song by Arcade Fire, and what is special about it is that you can get your own customized music video by typing in your address. It is a really awesome and interactive music video that is played on different windows that pop in and out of your desktop/computer screen..

I also learned about artificial artificial intelligence, through Amazon's Mechanical Turk. I have made 3 dollars so far by accomplishing silly tasks. Through mechanical turk this guy created large artistic projects, like recreating a 100 dollar bill mosaic painting. Where each individual would just copy a square through online painting and then submit it...etc... every square would be completely a different style.
