It's Spring for real! There's no going back to 20 degree weather from here! Sunbeams keep me happy and motivated.

I got a ton of stuff done today. Cleaned my bedroom, took out the trash and recycling, bought groceries from the Co-op, and walked back in the warm warm weather. I've been cooking springy food (breads, pasta salads, bruschetta) and doing homework ever since.

I...

SG keeps deleting my Top Ten Video Games list and not letting me edit my journal entries. That's annoying.

Not only do I not like the new layout because I have to scroll all over to find things that should readily presented, but I also don't like the new layout because it keeps acting broken. Thankfully, it no longer tells me I'm offline when I...

ARGH.

Today was excellent overall, thanks to the sunbeams, smoothies, and easy academic workload. Requiring me to meticulously plan out a trip a month from now just so I can see long distance people is frustrating though. Pie just shouldn't be long distance! I need a simple life. I have no car and no money. Distance + me - car - money = guilt-causing mooching....

What's with all the murder and fucktardery lately? Are things really that far in the shitter? Christ (that can be both a one word plea to a higher power, or a secular explicative for emphasis. Both could apply depending on who you are).

Not so long ago we had an SG pass away, which sent waves of grief across the community.

Then came the murders...

Someone should buy me this shirt in guys M or womens XL, because it's adorable, and I love it. ::nods::

I conducted three interviews today! WHOO!

22 Days left of my university career. WAH. Death. Doom. Beer.

Okay, I've decided. I don't like the new layout.

• The black boxes are klunky and disrupt the flow of the page. They're a poorly integrated subheader choice.


• The layout is mainly vertical when all computer monitors are horizontal. Everything is crammed, squished, and cut off, and the sizes of each category aren't adjustable. If I have a short blog, there's a ton of empty space...

Woah. My profile page looks crazy. I'm not sure how I feel about that...

I wasn't going to say anything, because I didn't feel it was my place. I'm still pretty new on the site and had never talked to Benni. I wasn't about to make assumptions about a someone I had never met with comments like, "She was a good person, and she's in a better place now." Truth is, I don't know what kind of girl...

My prints got in my prints got in MYPRINTSGOTIN!! Ska-WEEE. FRIGGING HELL YES.

I just got the list via email. BOTH of my prints got in. I'm so freaking excited. I'm tingly all over!! I'm annoyed about the scratched glass on that one now, but it's still in! I must have done a good enough job of disguising the scratch (serirously, it's like 4 inches...

School is hard as hell right now, and it's not letting up. I spent <i>four hours</i> in the mat lab today framing 2 pieces of art. Hope to hell at least one of them gets into the student show.

This week I have to conduct interviews (at least one for each of my two research projects). I also have to prep for the class I'm...

I've started playing with Flash again, and it makes me upset that I don't have Illustrator... any version. Pirated or legit. Hmph.

So, I went to Adobe's website and perused products. The programs that I want, that I would frequently use for business related endeavours, are as follows:

-Adobe Photoshop - $650
-Adobe Illustrator - $500
-Macromedia Dreamweaver - $400
-Macromedia...
