oh seven top ten

every year everyone posts their top ten albums of the year. i have thought & thought and cannot come up with a favorite ten records. however, this year i started listening to a lot of instrumental music. so i will now proceed to list my favorite ten instrumental albums of this year, 2007. thank you.

honorable mention instrumental albums of 07:

stars of the lid - and their refinement of the decline
every gentle air - part 2
kavinsky - 1986
lcd soundsystem - 45:33 (well. mostly instrumental)
cinematic orchestra - ma fleur

& the top ten instrumental albums of 07:

10. the bad plus - prog
9. six parts seven - casually smashed into pieces
8. el ten eleven - every direction is north
7. caspian - the four trees
6. explosions in the sky - all of a sudden... / remix album
5. justice - cross
4. this will destroy you - s/t
3. hammock - raising your voice... (okay, technically a 2006 album, but i just have to include it)
2. mogwai - zidane ost
1. amiina - kurr

maybe eventually i will get around to linking them all...

merry christmas.

holidays

whoa. the semester is over and i am relieved. but christmas break will again not be much of a break. i have lots i would like to do before school starts up for the last time. wish me luck.

also. every year my school has a new year's party once the students return to school (10 days after 2008 begins) called the "rebash." anyways, here's the poster for this years festivities...

high five

here is my final project for 3D class. hopefully i can find time for some more of these guys...

hair!

this is my first attempt at modeling hair (11,000 strands worth). although it's not very convincing, i believed it to be quite humorous. so here you go.
