Sharing is caring...

Thought I'd share some of the Photoshop brushes that I've downloaded.

Oh, yes... very cool site to visit... but a bandwidth killer of note is
For Designer

Hmmm...

Seeing G again tomorrow... Seems that the list of PC problems is getting longer.
I actually have butterflies. Why can't he look at me and just fall in love?

Oh... wait... life doesn't work like that, I forgot. My bad.

Why I have no life :P

Birthday Madness

Ok, well as you know I was quite determined that I wasn’t going to do anything for my birthday this year, because well, you know why so let’s no go down that road again. However! The Fluff, it would seem, had other plans in mind.

Seeing as it would be our last November together for a very, very long time she decided that this year the two of us are going to do something memorable, and so we, sans hubby, are heading to the Boho Theatre to watch Sleeping Beauty and the Little Prick. I kid you not. Afterwards, we are going to have cocktails at Bean Bag Bohemia and then see where the night takes us. Again, I kid you not. Now, bear in mind that neither of us really drink anymore… our days of finishing a bottle of tequila between the two of us are looooooong over, and so I can see us being quite plastered after a Strawberry Daiquiri and a Fuzzy Navel (hmmm, what the kids are drinking these days?)

So wish us luck!

Relief

I've had an absolute mission with album boxes. Because the albums that I do aren't the standard sizes I've had to find a place that makes up custom boxes. After much searching I've finally found a place in Durban called Gifts 2 Go. They make up Wibalin boxes to your size specifications, and they're about the same price of the ones that you'd end up buying from FotoMax, but at least they're at the right size. So that's one less thing to worry about.

For my new large albums I'm going to get special boxes made up. I found a place in town that makes gorgeous boxes, and because the cost of them is quite high I can only offer them with my large storybook album, but I think that the box will help sell the album, because really, they are amazing. So I'm getting there. I just need to get the two albums that I have in production finished now. They don't seem to end! I suppose it is a lot of work, and quite frankly my costs are justified.

Yes, well I suppose webcams aren't all that bad...



And YAY! I got paid...

I’m not an emo kid, am I?

Looking back over this blog I’m beginning to wonder, quite frankly, wtf has been going through my head over this past year? If anyone actually keeps up with this blog, sheepers, what must you be thinking? I really am not the wreck that I appear to be. Sure, my relationships are ridiculous and inevitably end up imploding on themselves, and I go through bouts of emotional instability, but I promise, I’m actually quite a well-adjusted, relatively happy human being. Or at least I think I am... Hope I am...

Weird day for me...

... So weird actually. G came to my office today. It was inevitable I guess, after all he is out IT support. It was just weird seeing him after our relationship ended so abruptly. I felt excited to see him, but sad at the same time. I’m glad I got to see him though, because at least this way we could be sure that there are no hard feelings between us. I hugged him goodbye, but what I really wanted to do was kiss him and just say “let’s just make this work.” But I can’t make something happen that isn’t meant to, so I just said goodbye and carried on. He is a really lovely guy... *sigh*

I will never understand men...

For some reason I just got a very frosty reception from R. What have I done? Is it me, or is he just pissed off at the world in general??? *sigh*

More wedding photies :)

In no particular order...

If it looks like an apple...

...and it smells like an apple, then surely it's an apple?

!!! Wrong !!!

It's an
Asian Pear
I kid you not. Yesterday my mom brought home this crazy fruit from Fruit and Veg City. Apparently it's an Asian Pear. It looks like an albino apple, and the texture of the flesh inside is kind of like a chunky watermelon. The fruit is juicy, although has a very mild, almost bland taste.
The term Asian pear describes a large group of pear varieties having crisp, juicy fruit. When mature, the fruit are good to eat when harvested or for several months after picking if held in cold storage. The crisp texture of an Asian pear remains unchanged after picking or storage, unlike the flesh of European pears such as Bartlett or Comice. There are three types of Asian pear: round or flat fruit with green to yellow skin; round or flat fruit with bronze-colored skin and a light bronze-russet; and pear-shaped fruit with green or russet skin.
It was just so... strange.

Make a wish...

…when you see a falling star

I saw a falling star on my way home the other night. I happened to look up at the stars while I was driving, and in that moment, for just a split second a shooting star flew between the two stars I happened to look up at.

It was… amazing.

Very quick update

I got the FLU! AGAIN! ... Fugg...
Diet of Doom is going really well... Have lost 13 kilos in 8 weeks. Yay!
I'm working my arse off, as usual.
I am going to be starting a new website... watch this space for details. It will be launching in the New Year.
Got a meeting this morning with my client, so at least I'll be out of the office for a bit.
Still stressing about my birthday, and turning 30.
Been playing flash games online instead of editing photos... bad Ash...

That's a wrap for now!
