I'm tending to lean on lyrics more than I used to. I'll use them in away messages, titles for journal posts, myspace stuff...plus I sing them when I walk around in school. Or when I'm sitting in class. That's always interesting.

In my defense, most of the songs are so badly known that it would seem more likely that I had just made it up.

Saw Jumper yesterday. Very cool effects. If the phenomenon was real, I'd be crazy excited over it. It isn't that they just teleport, they actually make a wormhole and pass through it. The cool part is that the break in reality stays for a while after they pass through it. It looks neat.

I don't know what to do. I guess I'll just read. Gotta finish the Chronicles.

Today was awesome. Well, almost awesome. Two brothers that I don't like much came over today to play Halo 3. They ate all of our cookies and left the milk out (nobody's been home since, so it was out for about 4 hours). The one Sean's age is OK, relatively, but the one my age is loud, obnoxious, amazingly immature, and just a pain to have around. He seems to run on TV shows and video games, and thats all he talks about.

But he brought one of my friends, Gabe, who I haven't seen much since middle school. We hit it off.

He was calling girls on his phone and letting me talk to them. It was like a prank call, but better. I usually told them who I was and who I was with. Just some random conversations with people I didn't know. The best kind, in other words.

You'd be surprised at how many people didn't answer their phone. Oh, and I called back everyone that hung up on me and left them a message. It was awesome.

After I'd gone through quite a few people, I realized that I knew one of the girls I'd talked to. I called her back again to say OH HEY, I KNOW YOU! Another girl I knew a tiny bit through a friend. I think I annoyed her a bit.

Anyway, I was disappointed when Gabe left. What a dude.

I did this in MS Paint with the default colors. nuTang doesn't accept .bmp, so I had to crapify it to make a .jpg.

The one outlined in grey is the subtractive colors, or pigments. The one next to it is light. On the far left we have our yummy rainbow colors because they look cool.

The difference between light and pigment is this. Our eyes have receptors for three major frequencies of light: those for red, blue, and especially green. Equal amounts of any two of those frequencies will yield yellow, cyan, or magenta, and from there one can go through the entire visible spectrum. Each color has its own frequency, but we only see most objects because they reflect red, green, or blue frequencies as well as the color we perceive. I think this is like timber and tone quality, where certain instruments actually emit different tones that blend together. (A tuning fork emits one note, and different instruments have different "signatures")

ANYWAY. We see most colors because of the way that red, green, and blue COMBINE. If you shone equal amounts of red, green, and blue light on the same spot, it'd turn white, like in the middle of the shape. Pigments are different.

All of the above has been as if you were watching lights on a white screen. The screen reflects all wavelengths, so it's irrelevant. But pigments work backwards. Instead of overlapping colors adding to each other's frequencies, they subtract from each other. The primary colors of painting are usually cyan, magenta, and yellow, (the secondary colors of light!) but really they can be any three colors evenly spaced around the proverbial "color wheel". It's neat that when you add blue and green frequencies, you get cyan light. Cyan paint would reflect green and blue light pretty evenly. But what happens when you add yellow? The cyan is absorbing all but green and blue, while the yellow absorbs everything except the green and red. Blue and red are both SUBTRACTED and you get green.

I don't completely understand the concept, except that it's psychological and not actually a property of light itself.

Still, it's so pretty!
