Eh…
Paul got to come home today. He’s touchy and sore. He’s hopped up on the couch once. I finally had to take a newspaper to Gurney to get him to leave Paul alone. Gurney was trying to get him to play, but Paul does not feel like playing.
I forgot I have a doll house swap due to be postmarked by this Thursday. The theme is gardening. So now I have a bunch of mulberry paper with wires embedded between two sheets drying on the coffee table. I am going to make boston ferns. This month I need to make five things.
As for media…
I uploaded two videos to YouTube. One is of Miles and Max meeting for the first time, the other is of Miles chirping because he was upset. (I only have three movies on YouTube now, which are sadly, probably only of interest to me. Although a video of Gurney after a bath has been viewed four times.)
I uploaded pictures to Kodak Gallery (I didn’t get to Flickr, I’ll do that tomorrow). To prove how far behind I’ve been on uploading…I uploaded pictures from March.
Also of note…
After my rant about Quark yesterday-they released to the news that this fall they will be introducing Quark 8. Really? What would make them think that the offices who switched to 7, then back to 6 are going to say, “Oh sure, here’s more money for 8.” I say if Adobe were to come out with a new version of InDesign at the same time and sell Creative Suite at a promotional price they would make a killing.
I am thinking about canceling my WoW account. I have not been in the mood to play for about two months now. I log on, but no one is ever on to socialize with (in my guild I mean, there are always people logged in to the game). Still thinking about it though.
It’s my blog, I can use it to store links if I want…
• Ashford Knitters Loom Just think of the scarves that could be made with that thing. And quickly! Then I looked at the $230 price tag.
I want to make these:
• Jello Fruit – Other than the fact they are cute, I see no practical purpose for these.
• Mini Pincushions – There is a small pile of lids sitting on the kitchen table in preparation for this weekend.
Some neat graphic design stuff:
• Coffee Stain Brush For Photoshop – I really don’t know why you’d want this, it’s just neat.
• Vector Magic – I haven’t tried this yet, but wow, where have these people been all my life? Or rather, how did I just find out about them yesterday? (They trace your raster images and make them vector images.)
Just for fun:
• The Bureau of Communication – Form letters for miscellaneous things to fill out and email. Very official looking, if not so in subject matter.
• Japanese Print & Cut Out Things – I don’t know what a thing on this website says, but with random clicking you’ll get the idea. There are doll house rooms, stores, sushi, animals, vehicles and more.
