Rachel Larrat's custom iam.bmezine.com page
Photoshop, CSS and XHTML
Designed and Development by Tri3


After a four year break I decided it was about time I learn today's web design. My old roommate and friend Drew Lee recommended a great book and I dove right into it.

The above is the fruit of my labour. Nothing mind blowing but I'm proud of it. It began with a few bang-your-head-against-the-wall moments and for while i thought "how can anyone do this for a living?!" Of course those feelings wore off as i got the hang of things. Soon the markup transformed from abstract characters on a screen into simple ingredients of the cake i want to bake. During the last day of development i sat for 14hrs straight tweaking and nitpicking, I thought that was something only painting could get me to do.

Speaking of long hours, I went from having one meager job in 2007 to having four jobs in 2008; I'm always working.

On a final and related note it appears Medina and Kristi found an apt in Bushwick. If the deal gets seaedl my two year long wait will come to a close. I'll be getting married and moving to Brooklyn!!!!

So I saw Mirror Mask yesterday... i dun lernt to downloads the movies herrrherrr.

Nonsensical plot and soundtrack aside we're left with the effects. They're not quite Steam Punk not really Cyber

They fit snugly into what i call the Computer-Animation-Sr-Thesis-Weirdness category. Taken at face value technically something is happening for some kind of reason. When all is said and done you're left with a puzzled gross feeling that can only be relieved by knowing what you just saw will never happen in real life.

This kind of imagery is the emo angst filled song equivalent of a someone that got their hands on Maya. You imagine the brainstorming session at one point filled the air with, "Oh man this is gonna look so cool!" Possibly lots of scribbling on an innocent sketchbook.

Still not ringing any bells? Don't know if you've just been subjected to above? I'll try to break it down with some simple questions.

Was there anything at any point even remotely related to Circus life? Answering yes to this question trumps all others and you need not read any further.

Was the majority of the film done in desaturated earth tones? Think the colour of wet dust.

Did things grow out of the ground because someone activated something that seemed nonthreatening? This could be done by simply touching something but a flower is usually the culprit.

Tendrils in SPADES! (see above)

Was the plant life eating something cute and cuddly?

Were the cute and cuddly eating something large and nasty?

Did you feel like you should be at awe of how much disheveled architecture there is or that at just grew out of nowhere?

Was the protagonist a little girl?

Finally, were all the highlights glowing bright as hell even though everything else looked like you were viewing it through 40 year old coke bottle?


Answering yes to one or more of these questions means there is a good chance you just saw the rebellious creations of an artist that likes black clothing...a lot!

Van Gogh, Monet art goes in $163M heist
I gotta say if I were a criminal master mind in some kind of alternate fictional universe I'd put my all my alloted Skill Points on Art Thief.

I love how there's no obvious mainstream implications of how you could turn a profit. Anyone who makes a career and formidable reputation from stealing "priceless" paintings has got to be in on something we as the general public dare not know of... a criminal underworld.

I know you're all still in mourning and this is a sensitive time but I'd just like to remind you all that I've already had a greater impact on your lives than any actor.

So when I go please remember to pull out all the usual stops. The following are some basic guidelines of how you should handle my passing in the online world and other forms of electronic text based communication.

-Excessive posts on social networking site's redundant forms of mass communication. I'm talking bulletins, journal entries, forum posts, status updates and whatever fifth wheel they reinvent at the time of my passing.

-Txt Msgs LOTS OF Txt Msgs! Send them to pretty much everyone in your address book it really doesn't matter if they knew me or not I was worth it. Try to save yourself time by sending to multiple people in one burst. Yes it's a little impersonal but you may have the satisfaction of knowing you were the first to tell someone before they found out from someone else. Haste = How much you cared

- It's only ok to use, "RIP (my name)" in the subject line or as a salutation. If you're going to keep your words brief please try to say as little as possible about me as you can. If you're stuck just express your shock and or disbelief for example, "OMG WTF I can't believe it!" That's a great way to get some "i care points" if you weren't one of the first to post the shocking news.

-Ladies, now would be when you tell the online world how much you thought I was hot.

-Guys, save your tears or talk of your crying; no one can see you cry on the internet . There will be plenty of time for that at my funeral.

Finally some of you will feel compelled to refresh the memories of those in your social circle of what i looked like. That's cool, you can find some good ones on my myspace and on my live journal. I know time is of the utter importance in these situations. Don't forget It's not so much what you say but rather that you're the first one to have said something. Again, Haste = How much you cared. When you settle on a picture make sure i'm either not smiling looking pensive or look super happy. Either will make it look like you've captured my essence.

RIP Tri3 1981 - 2???

Attn: FLORIDA

I will be in the Tampa/Sarasota/Brandon Area from this Thurs 1.24 to Mon 1.28

Put down the World of Warcraft, hunker down and let us do this. As much as I loath the state I've yet to find a more surely crew that knows how to have a good time when the spirits hit them.

I haven't held my fiancee since JULY so if you expect to see my face at all make adequate plans and accommodations during this brief sojourn.

txt the berry for reservations
