Playing Around With Photoshop...

So, I don't know why I purchased Photoshop.  I don't take enough pictures right now to justify it.  It was a textbook case of impulse buying.  However, I don't regret it.  What I do regret is not thinking about having to read through all the instructions and to watch instructional videos before I will be able to use it properly.  Who has time for that?  In between work/school/bar, I can't even keep up with Gossip Girl and Fringe on a regular basis!!

Just for experimentation's sake, I played around with a couple of my photos today.  No instruction, just from things I recognized from another program I have.  I have fallen in love with the Camera Flare effect.  I expect to use it on many a photograph from here on out.

The bloody nose photo, I adjusted to make look slightly more cartoonish and the towel photo has been moved to the desert.

An Experiment In Masochism

I think I will read the new copy of Details while watching "A Taste of History" on PBS which features slabs of meat and real butter and the like and then top it off by snacking on 1/2 price Valentine's candy while watching Danell Leyva and his perfect body perfect his pommel horse routine.  After that, I will stand naked in front of the mirror and wonder aloud why my body doesn't look like these guys' bodies and curse Teh God for not instantly transforming me into a brick house.  Then I'll go out and have 10 beers.

Danell...whew...

What the hell?  Re: Last Post...note to self: Drunk posting can lead to rambling incoherence.  Avoid.

On a side note:  My current crucifix.

Errr...What Bitch

I was forced to share my book in Business...I did not even look at them.  It could have been a Sasquach and I would not have known.  How dare this persona force me into relationships with these knuckleheads?  But anyhow...

Here we have a not so interesting photo...of my drunken drawing...

Tomorrow is Humanities and as long as it is as it appears from last week...hey, I fit right in...but I won't go cracking pig thighs and what not before I go in.  I gotta print out my paper, dagnabbit!!  *burp*

Collaboration? Egads!

Filed Under: Not Liking This
One-fifth of our final grade in my business class is going to be decided by a GROUP PROJECT!!!  One-fifth!!  That really put a damper on my evening last night.  First off, I don't like working in groups.  Second, what if there are a bunch of slackers in my group?  Their slacking will have a huge impact on my final grade!  I was pretty much P.O.'d when I heard this.  My brain was still complaining about it when I went to bed.  I'm quite sure anything I post here about my business class will be a straight-up rant.

In other less dramatic news (laughing):  One of my fillings came out!!  I felt that area with my tongue the other day and was like, "Hmm, that feels like a hole..."  I went to the mirror to check and yep, a filling is M.I.A.  (Yes, I have that many fillings, Frankie, and just as many in the top row.  What?, we didn't go to the dentist when we were kids!)

What The Heck Is Up With Peter?

So, I'm watching Fringe online today (I was out boozing last Friday and didn't get to see it on TV.) and here we have Peter Bishop being all Terminator, exterminating shape shifters without a hint of remorse.  Weaponized?  He sure seemed like a heartless android, single-minded in his efforts to get answers by any means necessary.  Granted, he was actually doing a good thing by taking out these undercover spies but so callously?  Perhaps he's reverting back to pre-Fringe Team Peter, the crook/con man/mercenary bastard.  Still, such a shockingly abrupt personality change...intriguing!

Speaking of abrupt changes, Astrid Farnsworth actually getting to use her technical skills and training?  Yay! for Astrid!!  More of this, please.

I know this is a fictional show, but I started thinking about the possibility that maybe there could actually have been societies that existed before our own, but that faced extinction.  I don't know why that should be so far fetched.  Then I think about the very exact set of circumstances (understatement) that led to our existence, and I'm not so sure that it would've been possible, not a civilization as advanced as ours.  Interesting plot point, though, and I can't wait to see where they are going with it.
