  • Paint: Happy Mothers’ Day!

    This made me (re)realize a couple of things: First, I really don’t know how to paint anything resembling a straight line. Second, I want a tablet for digital painting. Sigh. Third, scanning brings out the unique texture of the canvas.  Fourth, I love my mom.

  • Movies: The Avengers 2012 (Non-Spoiler)

    There is possibly no way for a normal person to objectively review the movie without squealing (just kidding). But it rests that I may be a little biased for it: I’ve been waiting for this for many years, way before I even knew it can exist.
