nothing.. really

July 25th, 2006

so as i sit here.. i really want to blog… yet i have yet to figure out what i want to blog about. i just finished filling out a job application and emailed it along. my computer has been acting really funky lately, and so instead of just opening up the .pdf file in acrobat professional and filling out the form… i had to do this really round-about way of getting it done on the computer. (ahh.. life without a fax machine… sometimes good.. sometimes not as good) so get this (all you graphic design nerds may appreciate this) … i take the .pdf file and open each page in adobe illustrator. the default font is not found… so i end up reformatting one of the pages… the other pages weren’t so bad. and then i create another layer and just type in all the ‘stuff.’ (if you know illustrator.. you know all the text lines are going to be their own ‘box’) and that goes pretty well. and me…. being the perfectionist that i am… am constantly zooming in to make sure that the words are an equal distance from the underline.. and the other text.. etc. signatures? that’s easy. i have my wacom tablet so i can write my signature in photoshop and then drag it into illustrator. then comes the fun of illustrator only being able to export a single page .pdf. so i save each page as an .eps… and then place each page into an indesign document and then export as a .pdf. *grin* oh how i <3 the adobe suite. -D

and in other news… michele got a digital camera… you should have seen her trying it out… she was lying on the floor talking to her cats… while taking pictures and video of them. i wish i had video of that -P i’ll make sure to steal the camera and post some video and pictures from her new toy for all to enjoy. (hey.. that rhymed *grin*)

ok. so that was fun. i’m gonna go to bed and get this hot laptop away from myself…. it’s … well… too… hot. -P

back in the swing of things..

July 10th, 2006

or lack-there-of

but still.. i’m back to my real world here in milwaukee. i took over 3,000 pictures… but i narrowed them down (a little) and posted them up on picturequeen.com. and i’m working on second adam‘s site… it should be up and fully running soon.

man.. it’s dusty here.

July 8th, 2006

i keep cleaning off my computer… and it just keeps getting dirty again.

oh well.

another couple hundred pictures were uploaded here… including: salvador, delirious?, rebecca st. james, michael w. smith, jars of clay, and of course, second adam (which is why i’m here… so the majority of the pictures are of those guys… since that’s what i get paid for -P ) they are playing two more times today, and i’m excited to see kutless, skillet and a couple other bands.

but things are going well here. the weather is awesome and the music is loud (thank God for good ear-plug headphones! -D )

day two

July 6th, 2006

and the picture count is over 1,000

i’m taking a break from walking around and taking pictures… i’m sitting.. eating free food.. checking my email… posting pictures… chatting with bands…. etc.

hey.. tell me this… how come guys in bands wear pants that are way too tight? and why doesn’t the fact that they may not look all that good in these tight pants stop them from wearing said pants? i mean.. yea.. some guys… they can pull it off… but not EVERYONE can! and where’s the female musicians? *looks around* anyone? hello?

ok. i’m gonna go now. the lifest pictures are here… i’m uploading another 300 right now… they’ll be up soon. i’m sure i’ll be taking pictures at rebecca st. james and maybe michael w. smith tonight…

*waves*

Current Mood: geeked
