Design team’s task of the week? Cutting out the cast to be put into the program. Uhoh.

Although I understand the point of cutting out backgrounds from an image so that they can be used elsewhere, regardless of the tool used – be it the select tool, the eraser, or the most precise method, the pen tool, even without choppy edges, or strange blurs…. it just looks wrong for an image to be strangely sharp and so ever stark against the background.

Of course, perhaps that’s because neon green is a good idea when you’re trying to remove backgrounds but… still! It all depends on how the cutout will be utilised – and that’s fairly hard to predict.

On the other hand, the photography was good I will have to admit.

And this is the boat I made in the holidays out of cardboard, masking tape and tubes of brown acrylic paint. Oh and time.

…
OH MY GOD. The guy in the picture has a yoshi like mine. =O Most likely won from galaxy world no doubt.

Well, back to cutting out. Here’s a preview of my efforts for picture no. 5 of 32. [though I'm not the only one doing this but hey its Yoshiii =O and besides. I have a tablet pc. It makes cutting things out sooo infinitely more easier.]

You know, when cutting things, one of the things most greatly noticed are people’s feet and legs, and the fuzziness of people’s hair. I’m tempted to give some a bowl cut.

I hate my group members for INFS1602. Particularly one of them. They’re so damn passive, and they don’t do ANYTHING. Okay, wait for it, no they write two lines of which one is useless, full of grammar and spelling mistakes and I have to deal with them till the end of semester because its weekly group work and there’s also an assignment that we haven’t even started on. ARGHH. Oh and perhaps I just hate the way we need to write in a way that backs up every word said which means it’s around 2500 words per a worksheet and that’s just crazy? What’s the chance that not only will the group worksheet get marked this week, that not much will be done if I don’t do the work of 4 people?

I am sick this weekend. My sneezes have been constant, my nose ever so runny, or blocked; I find my coughing getting more and more extreme, the dizziness and headaches and just plain state of patheticness screwing my emotional state over, and in my lack of judgment I wiped out the 700 words I had last week for my 2000 word assignment due Monday for LEGT2741.

My Wednesday is so packed that I don’t even get a lunch break from 9-6.30 and I’ll be running around all day across uni and across the city and probably have to skip lectures in order to fulfill everything [Can I say that my POLS2037 lecturer and tutor are awesome, the content is interesting especially the beginning of the lecture, and I am forever grateful he puts up i-lectures and the speech notes along with the slides even though I come late [though that's because the bus line is insane and on another day, I make it fine for 9am], appear to sleep and leave halfway in order to get to other things? I am so ashamed of myself.] Oh and at the end of the day I have a tutorial presentation [although that's been done but I so hope the notes get put up before then..]

But most of all, I’m behind and far too fond of accounting if only because it makes sense and I can do the tutorial work happily [now why doesn't it happen to be the case in exams? ... oh I'm 2 weeks late with writing the notes] and we have a break next week but I have so much to do and I just want to lock myself at home the whole week because I need the whole week and absolutely do NOT want go anywhere because that uses up what little energy I have which hasn’t been regenerated especially extremely overrated Sydney Easter shows [who wants to be around smelly farm animals anyway? They look best in my stomach. ... Okay I'm just saying that to be mean. and carnivorous haha even though I could really do with some salad right now =O]
