Wednesday blah
Hey there everybody!
Hump day, aooooo-gah. Decorated the living room to about 1/2 way, awaiting the xmas tree. Tonight we should be getting that, finishing the living room, and tackling the tiki room. I also need to find some time to put up the outside lights (in the rain, no doubt). We’re definitely getting there.
Oh! Need a costco run in there sometime as well. Jeeze, there is just little time left.
I can’t leave work on Friday, but I really need to for the party so I’m torn as to how to flake with the least amount of fall-out.. Come in early, leave at lunch? Call in from home out? Hmmm. Any ideas there, slackers?
I also have nothing to really wear – the only black pants I have are workpants. They could work I suppose. I need to find a RED tie as well. I think I have one but I don’t know where the ties are…
Playing with Illustrator
I’ve been playing with making fun type with Illustrator – here is my current sandbox version of a Candy Cane style. I did it mostly to see if I could do it, and to see how the interaction of all of adobe’s transparancy/mixing modes work with color and such.
Those in the Illustrator know: Any tips, etc?
Those not in the design know: What’dya think?
Done.
The quarter is over! I have just came into work after my Geo final. Done, done, done. Now to concentrate on Krampus Nacht.
I have nothing else to update yet. Oh, except that on the anniversary of pearl harbor, I’d like to say I have a good deal of compassion for the poor deluded souls who are fighting for corporate interests,um I mean Our Freedom! Of course, I also have to say it’s on par with the compassion I have for fred phelps, that lady who killed her kids by drowning in the tub in Texas a few years ago, and Red State Bush voters. Poor saps who perpetrate evil in the name of good, still thinking they can wield that one ring. My cynicism and rudeness, of course, does not apply to those brave individuals who actually did fight against such evil (WW II – a lonely example of soldiers actually fighting for freedom). Poor dumb bastards.
This morning
I was soo tired this morning and did not want to get out of bed at all. AT ALL. I was so comfy in a snuggle with H and was loathe to ruin it. Ah well, no rest for the wicked.
Bean Weenie
I used to always take my coffe with cream (milk) and sugar. I was converted to black a few years ago after having straight black Peet’s.
Now, I take my coffee black when it is a good brand of coffee. I have tried to ‘treat’ myself with cream and sugar in fine coffee but have been very dissapointed since I now feel it covers too much of the good flavour.
But You know what? Crappy coffee (epecially crappy strong percolator coffee) is DELICIOUS with cream and sugar.
Go figure.
Wee.
December 2nd.
Paid Dec bills last night, caught-up and on-time for the 2nd month in a row. Our new bill paying system seems to be working – Our account balanced from last month’s figurings. Go figure.
Tonight we go to for free because we’re members – yay free holiday cheer!
We started to decorate the Den for Christmas and the party and I have to say it looks cheery. We’re going to have a limited budget for the party, so if you are deciding to come and feel the need to “bring something,” by all means, bring booze. 😀 Since liquor is now a luxury, our backstock has been dwindling… :S
I’m at work early – more jobs coming our way that I’ll talk about after they air. You’ll likely all see it, it will be national.
Oh and if anyone saw the CBS promos or the OfficeMax commercial that look all Rankin/Bass christmas-like, Yeah, That’s us.
We did the Oregon Lottery “gingerbread sells his smell” commercial as well. I guess I can stick around here for a while. 😉
