Just made this and thought I'd share:

So for those of you who don't know, the Disney Company has been going through a re-imaging their Disney Stores from their old designs featuring statues of Disney characters displayed all over their stores to a more modern and interactive design (we're talking projection screens, areas for kids to build their toys, etc.). I've been to stores featuring the new designs, and while they're slick and fancy they really don't hold a candle to the old designs. Walking into the older stores felt like you were somewhere in Disneyland, which is especially nice if you can't afford to go to the theme parks all the time. These older stores have been closing or re-modeled one by one. The one in Arden Fair Mall in Sacramento was one I grew up with as a child and I'm sad to hear that one's already gone. And now the one I love the most in the Westside Pavillion Mall in Westwood, Los Angeles is clsoing on moving to Culver City (no doubt featuring the new store designs). The reason I loved this store so much was because it features all the statues and characters from the 90's renaissance, but also you could tell it was probably constructed a little later on and so doesn't suffer some of the horrible aesthetic of the 90's.

I only found out the store was closing because I decided to just see if there was anything new at the Disney store. Yes, I know I could probably go online to find this out, but I made it a point to go to that store specifically in case I did want to buy something because I want that store's performance to stay strong and not get closed because of under-performance. Also, it's always nice to be able to look around a store physically and see things close up, and there's always the pretty design of the store. Anyways, I walk in and notice there's signs all over the store saying everything is on discount, I asked someone why and find out they're moving the store. My heart just about broke and I decided to buy some things I've been eying since they were on sale, but I would much rather have to pay full price and have the store still there the way it was. I went again one week later to see if there was one last thing I wanted, and the whole place was pretty much cleaned out except for a bunch of Easter themed Bambi plushies and a couple of loose items. It was really depressing to see all the shelves empty. I took some pictures to remind myself of what the place looked like and decided to share them online so that you guys can see what I'm talking about. Click on the cut to check them out. (BTW, sorry for the poor quality of the pics. Took them with my phone as I don't have a shiny DSLR to take HD pics with. I really wish I had one for this occasion)

( All those days, never even knowing just how blind I've been )

So like 2-3 years ago I posted some icon/banner sets I made using the Disney Dream Portrait series of photos by Annie Leivbovitz that was part of the Disney theme parks Year of a Million Dreams campaign. Fast forward to now, and what do you know? They're still at it! I'm absolutely thrilled since I love this series and I always thought it was a shame that they didn't do more, but I'm glad they're continuing the series, and doing villains now to boot! So I went ahead and decided to do more icon/banner sets for the new photos, but then also took the chance to go back and tweak some of the older ones that I did since I was never really happy with the way they turned out. Still not really quite happy with the end product on some of them, but maybe in another 2-3 years when I'm more pro at Photoshop I can go back and perfect them. Anwyays, click on the cut to check out the new sets and also see the older sets that I've done. Enjoy!

I would say that 70% of the crap that I own is due to me watching tv/movies. I would also say that the same percentage applies to crap that I want. Do I particularly need these things? No. Do I feel like I'm about to die if I don't have them? Yes. I watch Pawn Stars on the History Channel every now and then and see people selling things that are considered collector's items that are worth thousands to tens of thousands of dollars. Half the stuff I didn't think was worth it, especially when it's something stupid like a spoon or a bike. But then I reflected on my own collection of random crap that I own and realize that I'm guilty of the same thing I was judging other people on. Does this mean that I'm going all zen and giving up all my worldly possessions? Hell no. Instead, I'm here to announce that I'm a huge tv/movie nerd and am proud of it. And just to show you how cookoo I am, I'm presenting you with the list of things that I want from items I've seen in tv shows and movies.

( Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you say my collection's complete? )

Hey y'all! Currently obsessed with My Princess and so I sat down made some photoshop goodies to share with you all! This is just for eps 1-6 for now, I'll see if I can whip up anything for the episodes to come. If I do, I'll be sure to update this post. Click on the cut to see what I've got for you!

( Does my tiara make my butt look big? )

UPDATE: Made more icons for eps 7 & 8. Click the cut to check them out! (Remember, these are standard 40kb only. You can find the HQ versions at my site)

( Does this scepter make my arms look chubby? )

Update #2: 15 more icons from eps 9-12 (well technically 9-11 since I didn't really find anything gif worthy in 12). Hit the cut to check them out!

Update #3: One last entry before the finale episodes air. Omg so sad ;___;

Finished the animated icons for episodes 17 & 18 like I mentioned before. I was going to make some standard icons too, but I didn't like how the ones I made for 17 turned out, so I decided to just concentrate on the animated icons for now. Click on the cut to check them out! These can be downloaded here or through my website.

Will be working on episodes 19 and 20 when the come out (provided there are gif worthy scenes, which I'm sure there will be). On another note, I've been trying to collect HD quality versions of SNSD MVs/PVs (720p or higher) and have been having a hard time finding a good quality version of Chocolate Love. Anyone know where I can find it? Preferably for both versions and I'd also like to get the f(x) versions as well. I also managed to find a HD version of Kissing You, which I didn't think was possible, but it has a huge station logo stamps in the top corners and I was wondering if anyone knew if there's a version out there that's clean?

Edit: okay, I finally have the icons for eps 19/20 done! I would have had them done sooner, but the torrent I normally use to get the 720p HanRel files wouldn't download at all so I had to wait to find another source. Dear lord, that experience was AGONIZING. I was desperate to see what happens in the finale. Anyways, click on the cut to see the new additions!

( Silly rabbit, gifs are STILL for kids! )

One cool thing about living in a big city is that important people actually come by. And the thing with Los Angeles is that you've got people who are involved with film and television here. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science (aka the organization that puts on the Oscars every year) had an event tonight featuring the works of voice actors in animation, which I just got back from and it was AWESOME.
