Hey. I figured I’d scan this shot before I turned it in tomorrow. It’s my latest assignment, to shoot “glass” without spectral highlight (aka: little bright white spots). You’d recognize the technique from the Absolute Vodka ads. Basically you back-light the glass so that you get a hard edge without actually putting light on the glass itself. Anyway, check it out HERE. I’ve got to turn it in tommorrow and I think it’ll get written on. So, I may as well scan it before that happens. Later.

I’ve decided not to be PC anymore. Never. If I can help it and the situation allows. I just wrote a whole post about it but my computer decided to eat it instead. So, instead of repeating myself for everyone else’s sake, and because I’m tired, you’re just going to have to believe me on this one. I’m tired of being PC. I’m tired of being afraid of not being PC. Will that make me unpopular? I doubt it. I don’t have malice towards anyone in perticular or plan on making light of sensitive topics. However, if I feel like calling vegan, greatful dead listening, sandle wearing people something along the lines of “tree hugging hippy freak people“, I’m damn well going to do it. Screw political correctness…
Tonights rant has been brought to you by sleepiness and the inability to actually fall asleep.
That is all.

What a day.
Studio went well. My photo partner took her friggin’ sweet ass time setting up her shot, which eventually didn’t work anyway. So, half way through class, I got behind the camera, changed ALL the lights, the back drop, the positions of everything and finally composed a shot I liked. It’s borring but that’s besides the point. It was one of those “learning exercises.” But all went well and I’m happy with my shot.
Afterwards I went over to Lauren’s for dinner. She was making the really really good kind of raveolie (the big giant ones). It was quite tasty. After that, it turned out that her car tire went flat last night so I busted out the jack and put on the spare. It was actually quite easy compared to my car. After that she needed to run a quick errand to Office Max to get a printer cartridge and to the grocery store. While we were at the grocery store she got me Ben & Jerry’s to reward me for fixing her flat tire. Yum.
So, here I am, eating B&J’s, about to take a shower and catch some sleep.
Tomorrow I get my refund check. Huzah! There’s quite a few “nessisary” things I need to do with it. Rent, for example, is a pretty important one. My car needs an oil change and new brake pads, I need to pay off my credit card, I need to get some groceries, stuff like that. After I wipe away my current debt, I can think about making some more. I wonder how cheap I can do a ‘puter upgrade for? Guys, any suggestions?

Stuffage. Got my website done. The teacher seemed to like it. She was a bit impressed by my 1337 CSS skillz. Hehehe. Anyway. So, it’s 20 minutes after class started and I’m already done… hense the reason I’m updating my journal instead of paying attention. I’m debating whether to leave and sleep some more or to stick around downtown and do absolutely nothing… I think I just answered my own question. Sleep wins over productivity. Duh. Ok, maybe I’ll update some more before my 3:00. Later.

Damn. I’m good. I’ve already finished my 5 pages, hand coded. I’m proud of myself. It’s really a super simple set up, just your basic tables, navigation on the left, that sort of thing. Oh well. I did throw in some style tags to spice things up a bit. Hopefully it isn’t “overboard.”
I almost forgot to mention that I finished some skins for Chris’s roommates Tetris clone. I’ll upload those tomorrow so you guys can get’em if you want to. Anyway. A big thanks to the Fish for making an addiction little clone that I can’t stop playing.
Later.
