Hi -----,
Sorry to bother you after the entire semester but I must say that i'm feeling deeply bothered after yesterdays crit. I felt that Derham was being particularly harsh with my work. I accept full consequences of the outcome of the model due to bad judgement. However, I have had invested alot of time and effort into the poster. I know that there were some presentation flaws such as "lack of information" but was nothing at all commendable? Do let me know if you feel that was so; I can take a bullet. I am aware that there is a line between quality and effort; I just do not wish to be unfairly judged as to having neither.
And Derhams bringing up the fact that I was a transfer student from a singled out institution was unsavoury and simply uncalled for, though I may not be a model produce of that institution. It was very unprofessional of him to make such a remark.
Lastly, excuse me if I may have come across as arrogant or a smart alec in delivering my design and responding to comments.
Should you not know how to respond to this e-mail because my efforts really were "dumb" as described by Derham or if it is not in your place to overwrite his judgement, I fully understand. With that said, you were lots of fun this semester with your semi-cynical and eccentric sense of humour. It has been a pleasure having you as a tutor.
Cheers,
Matt.

The fact that his own designs were beyond the means of the majority angered and frustrated him; but he wanted no less than perfection, and perfection, as he conceived it, could not be achieved through compromise with a system, which, he believed was dedicated to the deconstruction of freedom, individuality and beauty.

Who da'f--- is Chuck Norris?
Why do i see comments on ma metal music videos on you tube saying that Chuck Norris can play ABR's Medeller on the triangle?
That if he fell on the ground, the ground wouldn't make it.

As artists we don't crave fame to extol ourselves,
but to bridge the gap between our musical heroes;
on the posters on our walls.

It was back in 2005; when my dad came back from a trip from the States. Upon his homecoming I knew that he would have gotten me a couple of CDs (which he did, Switchfoot's Nothing is Sound) and a shirt or two. But after all of that my Dad pulled out a lime green packaging, 12 x 12cm, an inch thick, from his bag; a 1GB first generation iPod shuffle. And my life was never the same.
It was the most random gift i had received from my Dad, YES Dad, mom wasn't too thrilled about it at all. ha-ha. At that time iPods weren't very common. I was the first of my peers to own one of these devices. Myself, never being a very technology savvy person had never owned a walkman, music player, or of any form of electronic media/entertainment thingy prior to that. I thought it was the coolest thing ever, the genuine excitement and amazement of being able to listen to music anywhere. Malls, transitions, tuition, toilet, jungle. ANYWHERE. And till this very day that I still treasure that very feeling. I remember feeling very grateful that I had gotten a 1GB ipod as to the 512MB one.
However, THESE DAYS, it's quite sad to see how society treat iPhones and iPads alike. They've become such objects of desire and too highly regarded, a status symbol. People and their constant obsession to posses the latest iPhone/iPad, fuck that. Y'all're tools. I guess i'm just discontented with the shift of roles the iPod has taken, the role of a gaming device primarily rather than a music playing device. Even to those who use it for "music"krappy kpop ain't music.

Sophie Ellis Baxtor, guilty pleasure.
W8, not guilty actually.
Ooo, I just read that Sophie's married to Richard Jones from the band The Feeling. N1 Richard. I'm happy for you.
