muzing # 041: flash fun & d'onofrio dreams

Not sure if I have mentioned this previously, but I'm learning Flash at uni this semester. It's something I've toyed with teaching myself for sometime then never got around to it, so it's cool that uni is forcing me to learn. So far I'm having fun with it but haven't produced anything worth sharing. What is worth sharing though, is this site: tokyoplastic.com. We had a look at it during a lecture earlier in the week and it's so very groovy I had to share! Check out the drummachine (you'll find the link once the cool tree menu loads) and prepare to be impressed and entertained by the wonders of Flash creations! It may take a while to load if you're languishing on dialup (like myself), but I personally think it's worth your time. Oh, make sure you have your volume up.

In entirely unrelated matters, here follows an amusing personal anecdote!
Woke this morning from a dream that starred Vincent D'Onofrio. In the interests of making a long story short, in the dream I was one of D'Onofrio's students, though I don't know what subject he was teaching except that instead of textbooks I had a pile of magazines on my desk. Celebrity Gossip 101? Anyway, D'Onofrio was also the object of my affection, and I spent much of the dream trying to seduce him (outside of class).. by blackmailing him! It was really bizarre and completely out of character for me, but I woke up feeling a sense of disappointment that he had resisted my blackmailing charms.

Anyway, the dream amused me greatly as I had no idea I fancied the man, though I will admit I am a fan of his quirky Detective Goren persona. My celebrity infatuations tend more toward the likes of Tobey Maguire, Ioan Gruffudd, Hans Matheson and Hugh Jackman *reeoww*, depending on my mood. ;-) Evidently my subconscious mind feels I should add D'Onofrio to that list. Hmm.
