I finally tackled my Wacom tablet this past weekend. MB bought it for me 2 years ago, but I've been hissing and spitting at it like a feral cat for a while now. What changed? Well, Photoshopping using a mouse is doing a number on my right hand and shoulder. Old, knobby broad is old. I am excited about being able to create a fluid line, however - I' ( Read more... )

Photoshop Elements is NOT an appropriate Father's Day gift. Are you drunk or something? My father is 70 and can't figure out how to open his Gmail account. It also is not an appropriate gift suggestion for the following:

• Thanksgiving
• Halloween

I'm fighting with InDesign so hard right now that it physically hurts.

Why can't I select ANY of my 200+ icons this morning? WHAT HAVE YOU CHANGED?

Please stop breaking my playground and pretending like it's an unavoidable occurrence.

And you know how I feel about weird...

Google's autofill search function can reveal some pretty strange internet banalities. A few have been turned into humorous GIFs, like the one below:

Things are ridiculously slow at the moment. It's hard to get motivated when everyone around you is simultaneously channeling greyness.

Mum came for a March Break visit last week which was nice and filled with delicious take-out because Mum thinks that we don't eat at all. Sullen Brother was appropriately sullen, thanks for asking ( Read more... )

LJ is a WHINY-ASS BITCH. For all of the fucking glitches that have been plaguing it since - what? - last Thursday, their so-called 'site improvements' had better include real world cocktail service by perfectly Photoshopped cabana boys as part of the damned upgrades.
