when i updated photoshop
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. Photoshop CS is pretty cool, but I’m so stubborn… I want it to be set up EXACTLY like 5.5 (which is the last time I “let” dad update photoshop, despite having…

Sims 2 screenshots
For some reason they’re not as good as the ones I took back in the old Sims 1 days, but here’s some of my screenshots. By the way, the game is really fun – it’s a huge step up from Sims 1. The only thing I don’t like is how few objects we have… and no custom things to download…

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. I got Star Wars DVD set (of course), gift certificates, the Mordor action figure set I picked out at Dragoncon, and a new jacket. Money. I’m still waiting on a few to come in, lol. Best bday present of all – got a raise at…

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 it was nearly keith partridge
“…and for one of you, you’re one step closer to becoming Keith Partridge!” One of the strangest things I’ve heard on TV lately.

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…

Hey LOOK OMG I actually gave my livejournal a new look. Not much of a change, but whatever. I feel like I’m drunk tonight, but I’m not! Ha! Indy and I went to the Germantown Arts and Crafts festivus thing today. She wore her Superman costume and MAN did everybody love her! Everybody was yelling “Superdog!” and kids kept coming…

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…

when the bugs attacked
I forgot to mention this is my costume journal! On saturday, dad was helping us with some costume stuff in the kitchen when all of a sudden he gave a shout and pulled his t-shirt off! He said something was biting him. I looked over and saw the culprit still hanging onto his shirt. It had bitten/stung him in 3…
