It's a Mood Board

| | Comments (1)

Gonna try out something new here...

I had the idea a little while back of putting together a weekly mood board -- a visual representation of my week, things on my mind, music I was listening to, books I was reading, movies I saw, etc. Nothing too large or elaborate -- could be either done electronically, or scribbled/pasted on a 3x5 index card and scanned in.

So, here's my first go at it, cobbled together in Paint and Visio.

Mood Board, 20 March 2005

Thus depicted, going clockwise, starting from the upper-left-hand corner:

  • "Monkey Gone to Heaven" by The Pixies -- The Pixies kind of escaped my notice back in the late 80s (hangs head in shame); just got the compilation CD and am getting to know them better
  • The Polysyllabic Spree by Nick Hornby -- I like reading Hornby's work, I like short essays, and I too have bought more books than I have actually read, so how could I resist this; and it's darned funny, too
  • "Why Does It Always Rain on Me?" by Travis -- yep, it's been one of those weeks
  • "Ladyflash" by The Go! Team -- have heard this song several times on dirtyradio, and it's more infectious with each listen; you can watch the video on the group's website
  • Managing Enterprise Content: A Unified Content Strategy by Ann Rockley, with Pamela Kostur and Steve Manning -- it's for a course

The background features text from a cover letter for a resume that I sent out. You can imagine how much fun that is.

Not pictured on the board: The Incredibles, which I saw on DVD -- very entertaining.
