How difficult is that, spup?

I think I will soon have to teach myself graphic programs, including Flash.

 

Just returned from a week-long vacation from work, my first such vacation in so long it's almost pathetic. My house is clean and I decorated a wall in the play area for my son in the living room. I'm feeling good. Now I just need coffee.

 

No one else registered with you on March 11, 2006. tonysoprano and five others registered the day before, while four people with a combined 69 posts registered on March 12.

And wicked, thanks for the reminder, I had forgotten about that. I lost maybe 300 posts from the months before when I logged on under a different name. No huge loss.

 

"Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that is so deeply part of your being that you, that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps 20. And yet it all seems limitless."

-Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky

 

i've been in a good mood since last monday. i'm trying some new things in my mind to remain upbeat - just generally. i wasn't clinically depressed but definitely predisposed to general grumpiness.

It took me a couple days to figure out how to make a pretty elementary flash movie. If you need help, the help function is actually useful, although, you have to read some previous sections before reading the section you need in some cases.

I know two days doesn't sound like much, but for me it is. I taught myself the basics of InDesign in an hour or two. I taught myself more than one audio and video editing program in a couple of hours. I have photoshop basics figured out and the other two Macromedia systems (fireworks and Dreamweaver) figured out. Flash is a little more difficult. I won't lie. The system was making me crazy enough to give up and turn it off for a night. When I turned it on the next day, I figured things out.

And that post was of JDV proportions. Sorry guys.

Edit: That really was of JDV proportions. I misspelled function and reading. I just woke up. Give me 15 minutes before my eyes adjust to the real world.

 

I once found a $100 bill when I was working at Heinz Field during a Steelers game. I was 16 at the time and I found it around the bar at the inside area for people with club seating. There was no way I was holding it up and asking 50 really drunk guys who lost a $100 bill.

 

My ethics class is a bore on two hours of sleep. Good thing cell phone SportsJournalists.com is keeping me awake.

 

You better have saved that until you were 18 and blew it in 15 minutes on strippers

 

Almost two years after my 18th and I've yet to go to a strip club. Never really saw the point.
