I'm Not Alone!

I finally realized, I'm not alone! There're people on dA who personified chemical elements and even made groups for them! A web comic called Chem portrayed anthropomorphized elements. I was so happy and even joined a group dedicated to science so I could submit my works.

However, except I've seen someone who personified DNA and his butler, DNA Polymerase, I didn't see anyone else who anthropomorphized molecules. And no not the psychoactive ones. So ... I guess I'll be a pioneer?

My Resting Heart Rate

My resting heart rate recently is 69 beats/min. The PE teacher said the average resting heart rate for many young women are in the 80's range, and told me gladly that I must have been working out aerobically frequently to have a heart rate at the low range. That was something I'm very happy about. Although I'm kind of heavy, my body is not as weak as I thought!

I found among the classes I'm taking this semester, I rather spend time on chemistry than doing environmental studies homework. I've taken Prof. J's environmental studies class, so basically what we're learning now are very similar to what I've learned. Yep, biodiversity in danger, overpopulation, energy and resource crisis, pollution, global climate change, natural reserves, recycling, environmental conservation in third world countries, and environmental justice, etc. There're few new problems but the same old problems since the Industrial Revolution. And you know, as we get more into the "solution" part, things can get very political. I still wonder if I'll do anything related to environmental conservation in the future ... maybe about protecting my favorite insects? Just hope there won't be too much politics that I need to involve.

Psilocybin and Psilocin ... Without Clothes

No I'm just kidding. Their clothes are still undecided. So hard to design ...
Uploaded just for record. Idea for what Psilocybin and Psilocin Tryptamine look like.
Catrina said she came up with something very similar. LOL
By the way, their teeth are crooked, not sharp. =P

The 3-Variable Sexuality Spectrum Test

http://www.okcupid.com/tests/the-3-variable-sexuality-spectrum-test
Got it from my sister's Tumblr. (Not meant for serious XD)
Seriously, I smelled Kinsey.

I didn't know my asexuality is lower than the average ... (It means more sexual than average, uh, I guess it means think about and want sex more ...) And I never dated, so yea.

Most queer people probably say they don't like to be pigeonholed. But I do!

P. S. If I answered "no" to "have you been attracted to someone of the opposite gender", I'd lie. But, how would you categorize slashers?

Rage Comic Expression Real Version

I like this guy. He's too funny! XDD
(Even though the last one is clearly fake ... no normal person can do that dude.)

A New Art Class

I have a real art class this semester - what I mean by "real" is it takes place in a studio and we have to buy a bunch of art supplies and actually produce some artworks.

The instructor apparently loves music. He began the class by playing music, talking about music (like he has been listening to MGMT a lot), and asking everyone to say what music impressed them recently in self-introduction.

I said I really like psychedelic music such as trance and Shpongle, and mentioned I went to the Shpongletron concert. He made me repeat the word "Shpongle" twice, laughed, and said "you're still tripping out!" Then he kept calling me "psychedelic biologist" until I said "stop it." It was so funny!

It looks like a fun and exciting class. However we're required to work outside of class at minimum of 5 hours per week. Wow ... I didn't know art classes have homework too!

A Night with Color Me Once

I didn't do any homework on the first day of class but went to a bar to listen to my friends' duo performing. They're called Color Me Once. Ahh good day ... This is probably the last day I can hang out and kill time.

LSD/DMT?

MY GOD!
A girl on dA said my arts make her ship LSD/DMT and she's thinking about writing a short slash fanfic of this pairing.
She obviously likes my molecule characters. What could I say when someone else besides my sister likes them so much? HOLY AMIDE IF SHE REALLY DOES THAT I'LL GIVE HER A PRIZE!!

P. S. Working on the 7th page of the comic ...

素炸醬麵和泡椒雞

Lucy來我的公寓借住兩晚,就請她吃炸醬麵!
這次嘗試用素絞肉(豆製品)做,很Q根本不像絞肉居然還要我一段段的把它切碎。雖然這玩意兒味道有點奇怪,但配料都正宗的啦!看我的室友和Lucy吃得多開心。

Pictures of Lily


When I heard the lyrics, I can't help thinking this song is funny. :)
"Probably the most beautiful song about masturbation ever written," some people said.
Then I wanted to know who was this Lily and see her pictures so much. Some suppose the song was referring to Lillie Langtry (stage name), who was an actress and indeed died in 1929 as stated in the lyrics.
What kind of father when his boy complained about insomnia, would give him pictures of a beautiful woman who was dead decades ago? That's weird and cruel. LOL Poor boy, but I still can't help smiling to the lyrics. I think I'm beginning to like the Who.

We never know whether the reference was Lillie Langtry, but here're a few pictures of her.

Pig Intestine and Blood

今天不想開伙,就到一家中國同學們都推薦的餐廳Fugu Asian Fusion去吃飯,聽說非常的道地。看看菜單就知道是偏四川口味的,想說五更常旺是最沒有辦法在家裡做的,就點了一份。還不錯,但比台灣的油,我可以確定這大概是你能在美國找到最中國的中國菜。五更常旺的英文居然是pig intestine and blood with salty cabbage。材料是這樣沒錯,可是怎麼聽起來這麼噁!美國人敢點嗎?

題外話:這首Queen的歌讓我想到Michael Jackson!跟MJ也同時代的啊。

Trying New Digital Technique

I can't draw realistic people so I let the computer do the job for me.

Because I don't have good skills and because they keep that not-entirely-realistic proportion, they look kind of creepy. =P

Inspired by those realistic versions of or untooned cartoon characters.

Ah My God!

因為畫得太醜了所以我笑了。LOLOL
(那隻根本就是企鵝。 )

紅燒牛肉麵

經典家鄉菜:紅燒牛肉麵和燙青菜




牛肉湯是我用Willy Street Co-op買的帶骨髓牛肉、亞洲超市買的滷牛肉藥材香料包、薑、醬油、朝天椒、糖和酒燉了兩個多小時,好不容易牛肉爛了,結果蘿蔔好像太爛了。
好像燉太多了,要吃好久 ... 不過很好吃!真可惡同學都還在放假沒回來,我要找人分都找不到。說實在我在美國好像沒什麼吃不到的。海鮮其實超市也有賣,只是太貴了,不過這牛肉買起來也不太便宜。

話說今年Wisconsin冬天的氣候異常到詭異,白天整天豔陽高照,一點雪也沒有,今天氣溫還高達攝氏9度,今年到底有沒有冬天啊!

Serotonin and Melatonin Sketch

In the late night I was doodling, and sketched Serotonin and Melatonin almost out of desperation, to give an idea of what they might look like. The sisters, one neurotransmitter and one hormone, are both important for humans, especially in the sleep and biorhythem cycle. They are probably the nicest Tryptamines ever. lol

Serotonin Tryptamine, or Sera
She is the reason why a lot of other Tryptamines are psychedelic. It kind of means our brain can't distinguish Sera from her first cousin DMT ... and others. That's funny. LOL

Melatonin Tryptamine, or Mel
Melatonin always wears sunglasses, to prevent sunlight shines directly into her eyes when she has to look up at the sun but she actually doesn't like sunlight. This is the very first time I attempted to draw Mel, by the way.

The clothes of Serotonin and Melatonin are still sort of undecided.  Serotonin's hair is of a medium color, while Melatonin's is a bit darker.

A Little Statistic on My Fabulous iTunes

Just thought it'd be fun to do a little statistic on my current iTunes because I think my collection is fabulous! I want to have an idea about the diversity of my music too. I put whole albums, not just single songs.

Is there an upper limit of how many songs I can add into iTunes?

STP Singing

Don't ask me why. I just want to try to draw STP.  XD
Yes, drawing STP for the first time. He's not as hard to draw as I imagined.
STP was designed by my sister.
Why STP has so many lines on his clothes so hard to draw ahhhhhhh! 
I'm too lazy to color.

Sometimes


Noooooooooo this song stuck in my head!
I say Erasure is no less cheesy and powerful than Rick Astley.
I'm Bell rolled. LOL

西雅圖之旅的一些照片

今年寒假在西雅圖過。

今天吃炒肉米線喔!

終於回到我的公寓和自己買菜做飯吃得健康的日子了!好感動!

想說自己做的一定不道地,不知道肉要怎麼炒。
結果果然不太道地的感覺,可是吃起來真不錯,有七八分像我就很滿意了!
醬是我用越南春捲醬、很鹹的泰國魚露、萊姆汁、水和朝天椒自己調的。

Want You More


A catchy song from Duran Duran's Astronaut, one of the albums I bought in Seattle for less than $1. I like the guitar parts.

Revisit: Kevin Rowland's My Beauty

Kevin Rowland's My Beauty is a terrible album at first impression, with its shocking cover featuring Kevin in drag, a few not-so-good covers, and songs with changed lyrics. When listen more closely, the album is an autobiography of how Kevin went through the lowest points of his life.
