    So I installed Adobe Creative Suite on my computer last night. the latest photoshop and illustrator and.. uh… go live… in design… image ready… and some other adobe stuff.

    when we planned for C3

    EEEE *geek spasm* I got my badge and my hotel room for Star Wars Celebration III!! And best of all, we’re staying in an Omni again! Connected to the convention center via skywalk! It only took 4 1/2 hours to register, too. Geez. The site was absolutely choked with people trying to register. I just kept refreshing until I got…

    when i lost a file

    CRAP. I was rearranging files on my computer last night. Good thing, it was a mess. I go to open the fanart CG I’ve been working on for the past week, and guess what. It’s not there. Apparently I deleted it while cleaning out files. *smacks forehead repeatedly*

    when i was scared of robots

    I realised today that my fear/dislike of robots goes back even farther than that Disney special (a behind the scenes of Disneyland/Disney World – they showing Abraham Lincoln from the Hall of Presidents with no skin on his face). Out of nowhere today I was reminded of Herbie Hancock’s video for “Rock-it.” Anybody else remember that? I was never out…

    Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday 😀 It was pretty good.

    when golf messed up my birthday

    So we went out for my birthday night. The original plan was to go downtown to Pat O’Brien’s, have some drinks, something to eat, and then go see Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Well, turns out that some big Southern Heritage Classic is happening today, so downtown was PACKED. Like every parking space taken. So we decided not…

    when I was in animerica

    Does anyone who reads this get Animerica? Apparently I’m in there this month; I’m guessing it’s Hild again. If anyone out there has that issue can you tell me what costume it is, whether it’s Hild or not? I’m not going to have a chance to go get it until this weekend, so I was just curious. ETA: Here it…

    when you complete your minor

    It seems to me that when you complete your minor, bells should go off and balloons and confetti should fall from the ceiling. But I guess that’s just me. Ash and I hung out today and did some costume stuff. Watched ROTJ. Then I went with mom and dad to the first meeting of what will hopefully become the Millington…
