100 Words: Shoes

Each year or two, after my old pair could bear no more the abuses of the schoolyard…. I cringe as I watch cute black dresses limp along on legs that if not for their jilted stride and a veiled grimace would be sexy-long.

Gyroscope: Definition

gyroscope |ˈjīrəˌskōp|noun a device consisting of a wheel or disk mounted so that it can spin rapidly about an axis that is itself free to alter in direction. The orientation of the axis is not affected by tilting of the mounting; so gyroscopes can be used to provide stability or maintain a reference direction in navigation systems, automatic pilots, and stabilizers.

100 Words: Sledding [Snow]

The hill is beside our school, but the familiar walk is anything but, when we trek with sleds slung over shoulders or towed behind…. It is as if the distance travelled relates more to the lightness of the soul than of the body.

Digital Story Script

face-melting guitar, vocals that stretch the human voice to its limits: caustic to guttural, to epicly operatic. Echoes of rage, alienation, the desire to withdraw into a charred sonic landscape.

No matter what he time, the town has its players. The red autumn sun fades violet, its path followed by trails of starlight — books, used or old, are bought and sold, read and remembered.

Digital Story Soundtrack

Unfortunately I don’t have much time to make this digital story into anything decent, or that I’d be proud of…. I’ve combined the following tracks into one song that is 5 mins 11 secs long (the outro is long for credits & such, so its really more like 4 mins).

100 Words: Rock Doves [Birds]

Our worlds are built upon such institutions; we expect that when we see a pigeon, it will look — pretty much — the same as the ones we’ve seen before…. Indeed, the pink variety do look — pretty much — the same as the ‘traditional’ variety; however, the surreal switch from blue to PINK dealt a blow to my reality; the world would never look quite the same again.
