blah. that's how i feel right now. i have no motivation for anything. i just can't get excited about building a crappy latin music retail site when the client doesn't want to spend any money on it, but wants it to be done fast, cheap, and well.
robot robot robot

him: "the site loads slow."
me: "yeah, it's on a shared box and the load is pretty heavy....

... oh, and don't forget --- they wanted it done, like, yesterday. But they reconsider when I tell them the time machine costs extra.

Fuck, if only clients didn't have to spoil our gigs as commercial artists. Little bitches what have no aesthetic!

Just give him cheap-as-in-tacky, fast-as-in-there's-no-way-you-spent-more-than-an-hour-on-this-shit, and good-as-in-GOOD-GOD-that's-the-ugliest-site-i've-ever-sited...
and then you never get hired again.

I dunno. That shit's tough, and unfortunately, seems to happen a lot more often than is fair. Cool clients are few and far between.

You're tough shit, though, aren't ya? You'll get it done.

...and then you'll get some sleep, okay? Like me now.

ZZZZZZZzzzZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

This little ditty came to mind as I read your updated profile:

See Bean.
See Bean Rock.

My final went really miserably...technical issues abounded. Everyone had issues, not just me, and a lot of the problems were due to the crappy setup in the class, but nevertheless there were problems. No matter, two of the 3 projects I completed this semester in my class are portfolio-worthy, so I feel pretty good about it.

Yesterday was a gigantic sigh of relief. I couldn't...

Almost finished with my final...though I may never get the last few pieces put together if I can't pull myself away from Olivia writhing around on her cam. Wow. Have I mentioned lately how much ass O kicks? No? Well, she kicks a helluvalotta ass. I just joined her other site, veganchallenge.org. It's a great site, full of all sorts of wonderful information about...

Must....finish....project!

Not that any of you care wink, but it's coming along relatively nicely. As usual, I'm not satisfied with it, but the people who have seen the work in progress have given really enthusiastic positive feedback, so that's good I guess, especially since one of those people was my new media professer, who's comments began with "whoa...nice."

Still don't know if I'm going to...

Procrastination sucks. I just found out about a Blood Brothers / Death From Above show just a 45 minute drive from here tonight (monday), but of course there's no way in hell I'm going to be able to make it because I spent all last week on here instead of working on my project for finals. Why am I posting here again?! I should be...

After Effects doesn't hate me anymore. In fact, it's been being remarkably affectionate for a piece of software.

I'm loving the SG cam feature. Somehow watching LE and Olivia sitting in front of their respective computers, sucking their respective thumbs and looking all comfortable and bundled up helps me feel a bit less isolated when I'm holed up in my office working on the last...

Just woke up.

So very groggy.

My eyelids hurt. I've got an overwhelming amount of work to do on my final new media project, and After Effects is hating me.

My upstairs neighbors are listening to Def Leppard very loudly. Our apartment has very thin walls. Pour some sugar on me. woo.

It's actually my camcorder hooked up to my computer...it's a sony DV handycam DCR-TRV27. And the software I use is EvoCam.

So...last night began, for me, reading this, then jumping into sgchat to see if I could help. LE and Anne deserve medals, or at least a nice gift basket, for handling that with such poise.

Then I watched a grotesquely overedited tv-version of Interview With The Vampire, cuddled up on the couch with my love, and came to the conclusion that cuddling is good,...

I feel good today. Slept for a full 7 hours last night, which means I'm ready to get back to getting 1-2 hours of sleep a night for the next few nights, which is good because the final project in my new media class is due Wednesday AM, and I don't think I'll be getting much sleep until after then.

Our cat usually wakes me...

Everything about the cat suggests that they merely put up with their human owners, but anyone who ones one of the damn things is baffled how they've survived this many centuries.

Also, my cat climbed on my back I started grooming himself while I was watching TV today, and all of the sudden it smelled like ass. I tossed him outside, but I couldn't escape the smell, it was in my shirt. What the hell.

That was kind of pathetic.

aw thanks smile

i didn't really do much of anything though, it was all anne. i didn't have much luck finding #'s... but thank goodness for anne.

I've never been good at making friends. It's the first step that kills me. I'll probably never add another user to my friends list unless they add me first. Maybe I'll get over that after I've been on here for more than 2 weeks.
bok

...maybe I just need some sleep.

Juliana - thank you for sacrificing the balance of your friends layout to add me to the list. I feel honored.

I have an immense amount of respect for illustrators. I can draw quite well, but I haven't had much success with illustration.

This post is here mostly for three reasons:
1) To avoid the impression that I don't respond to posts on my own journal,
2) To provide a convenient link to the rest of my response, which is here, and
3) To artificially increase the number of responses to my journal.

juliana:
LOL Why you gotta be so down on yourself??

The number of posts on your page will increase, artificially enhanced or not. And if they don't, what doth it matter?

I'm sure your wife can comfort you and remind you that you've got friends... REAL friends... smile

I'll be here, nonetheless. And I don't doubt you'll have interesting things to respond to in the future, since I think they're interesting now. You word things the way I do; it strikes a chord in me. And Bridge to Terabithia... yes, I wondered why no one else really referenced it aside from me, (although I think SG Ruby did, too) but now I know I'm not just a sentimental sap who places meaning on books no one else gives a shit about.

Rather, I'm a sentimental sap that places meaning on books ONE other person gives a shit about. That makes me feel better.

Talk more later... got some errands to run.

Anybody remember Firefly? The old online community? I just found a screen shot I took on my birthday in 1996, of the HotWired site and my FireFly page, and uploaded to my pics. My plan was to do a screen shot on my birthday every year...but obviously that didn't pan out. If I did it now it would probably include Google news and my SG...
