Wanted Dead or Alive

I was wondering, does anyone have any version of photoshop they would be willing to let me borrow. I have been trying to do some prettying on my blog and I would really like the capabilities of the photo program. I learned on an old school version, let’s see, I was 17 so whatever was published in 1996, and I know that I would be able to get what I needed from pretty much any version that exists now. I just don’t want to splash the cash. I almost cried when I saw how much it cost when I was hanging out in the Apple store the other day.

Not that I just hang out in the Apple store, I was waiting for my Ipod to be fixed. Funny story about my Ipod. The first one I bought on ebay…I think it cost me about $300 clams. About 11 months later it had a suicide attempt when it jumped out of my bag. As it ran towards the tracks of an oncoming train I grabbed it and admonished it for being so selfish. I mean to take it’s own life just as I was about to get on the T, that is just plain rude. Alas, while the Ipod was saved in the corporeal sense, the soul had left and that was the day the music died, the Chevy was at the levy, but the levy was dry.

So off to the Apple store I went (people buy the extended warranty, it’s worth it) and they did a test here and a test there, they turned themselves around, and that’s what it’s all about. The battery was waning and as such I got me a new Ipod (like I said, get the extended warranty). Two weeks ago, a mere two months after the replacement, shortly before my trip to Denver, Rocky Mountain high, Rocky Mountain High, Ipod the second JUST STOPPED WORKING. Huh.

So off to the Apple store again. As they were able to determine on site that the little engine that could couldn’t anymore and they switched out as I stood there. As grateful as I am that they were all, you got your second one for free two months ago, here’s a third one for free today, I have to wonder. Has anyone else had such questionable luck with the Ipods? I’m glad the customer service is all about we do chicken right but really?

So yeah, anyone with info on photoshop, give me a shout.

Ta.

Oprah’s On

I was so happy to crawl into bed at 6 AM. I just woke up. I love my bed. I love my apartment. I love my stuff that is all within an arm’s length.

Damage Report

After a long weekend in Colorado, the only thing I wish to do is go home and sleep. My home is blanketed in some white stuff that has delayed my reasonably timed red eye by four hours.

I will be arriving in Boston at 9:20 AM…

I will not be going to work tomorrow (today in Boston).

I’ve also had more than enough booze to last me at least a week…

but the wedding was awesome and I couldn’t wish an awesome wedding on a nicer couple.

No hook up information to share, I really was on my best behavior.

Another day, anther dollar

It’s been two days since I crashed my blog. I’m going to be fine. Deep breath in, deep breath out.

I am going to be fine, but…I’ve been forgetting things.

I could have sworn I left a comment on a blog, but when I went there today, not so much. I bought a new book, can’t find it anywhere. I remember seeing it in my bag. Appointments have been missed and calls gone unreturned. I’m not so much worried as confused. This is not like me at all.
