The Quiet One

I promise next week

I promise next week I'll be better at posting stuff. I just need a week of just sorting out stuff about the iMac. Which is going good. I'm getting the hang of it. Friday I hook up the printer and install the Wacom tablet on it. Tablet took the longest to do since I have dial up and needed a new driver. Glad that's over! Friday I'm going to order the 4 gig of ram from Crucial.

Now I'm face with a big question, software! The big one is what to do about Photoshop?

Not helping is Photoshop Elements  6 for Mac. I have no real idea when it's coming out, along with everybody else who wants it.  Adobe says it's coming out in early '08. Now does that mean in Jan or between Feb-April. If it comes out latter, like March. I would been better off getting the regular Photoshop. Which I would love to have . However, I would also like to get the Painter program too. Painter Essenttals 3 is working wonderful on the Mac after not working at all on the windows computer. Oh I should just bite the bullet and get the regular Photoshop. I know I need it in the end. I can wait on the Painter program. Oh I wish I didn't have these dentist bills looming ahead. Well I need to get this mouth straighten out .

In the end it will all work out.

Down to one blog now.

I’m down to posting at one blog now. Blogger has made some changes to their systems and I can no longer use Blogjet there. I was using Blogger as a back up up blog for this site. Hey you never know. Well they have out now, bloggerbeta. Now eventaully everybody is going to have to switched over to that and I regret now.I feel bad people who brought Blogjet and now can’t use it. I like it. I tend to find it easier to type up long post with this. So now it’s bye bye blogger for now. I should point out that Blogjet will fix the problem with bloggerbeta in the next upgrade. Meaning verison 2.0 but that one I’m going to have to pay for. I’m still under decide if I’m going to do that.

Right now I long not to feel tired or sick. Monday’s night I didn’t sleep well at all and then Tues afternoon the wretched period show up. For today, I’m still tired and dealing with some crampiness. Yea I’m feeling like a bitch right now.

As for the printing out the poems over the weekend, it was 23 pages(one side only) of poems. I’ll have more free time now since the Star Wars story writing is now over. Glad that’s over.. Did some artwork over the weekend, where I took close up shots. It came out excellent. The other project sorta failed. That’s the art life.

 

 

It's Tuesday night and the Yankees are losing

It's Tuesday night and my Yankess are losing to the Blue Jays. Grr the score at the bottom of the 6th is 7-4. Keep it up Yankees, you'll put George in a early grave.

Hopefully this week I'll be done typing up my Star Wars story Checkmate. Then I'm going take a nice long vacation from fanfiction. Then when evil brain cells are fully recharged. Write a few more stories. I have been doing this since May 05 and yet, I have been enjoying  the writing part of it. So that's th main goal this week. Finish the story.

Once I get that out the way. It's on to this nice huge folder of poems waiting to type up. I still can't believe how many poems that never got type up. The only think I can think of, is that I must thought I did them already. That's another thing I got to do tomorrow, print out about 19 pages of poems. Once that I get that done, then I have to enter them on the speedsheet of all my poems that I have done.

I think the forecsat is calling for nice weather for Wed. It can rain on the days I work. Actually we need rain around here. You can no longer burn stuff outdoors. So second thought, bring me aweek of rain instead, I'll spend the day typing up poems.

Omg, Yankees score, George's blood pressure must a drop a bit.

I saw snowflakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got watch some snowflakes fill the sky today. Ah it does the heart some good. Snap a few pictures, don’t think it will show up.They still on the camera . Was hoping for a snow shower would come later. No such luck today. But I’m getting to that now. The corner has reach and turn for that. 

 Right now listening to Robert Plant. He soo good! Finally got around to clean behind my computer. Ugh I hate that job. Between the wires and getting the computer table to move. But it done, do it again after the holidays.

Wrote a new Star Wars story, not finish with it. Wrote it for fun. It’s about Artoo running away from home because he tired of dealing with Luke and Leila Skywalker. Who are only three years old. So now I have Anakin Skywalker looking for him, I have Artoo being a really bad droid in this story. Still working on my Edge of Blackness story. Up to chapter 35 in writing . That story is doing really good on Fan Fiction site. Have about 95 reviews for it. Yet I still manage to find time to write the poems and revise them. I type up a whole bunch last week. Then tomorrow night I’m going go through my little notebooks and find a few to revise,

 

Rainy Wednesday

                                                

Today is a chilly grey day. Most of the leaves are now down. So the wish for some snow is growing stronger. Want nothing major yet. About an inch wwould make me happy.

Was going to work on a poem and post it here, along with a picture I took for it. However the poem as gone awol on me. Grrrr!!!! I know  I wrote it. Must be written down on a scrap piece of paper. Oh lucky me. Rather watch some snow fall than tried to find it in this mess.

The picture above is a shadow of a bottle of dish washing liquid. Made for some greta pic and some strange looks from Mom. Oh well.

Ah new moniter, if anybody cares.

Ah I got my new moniter today. I would gotten sooner, if I didn't goof up one part the address. Well now it 's here. Tomorrow I'll download all the photos I took over  the weekend. I can finally type up all the new poems I work on over the week, but first I got fine tune this moniter a bit. It's better one than the old one. So everything looks screwy.  I'm tempted to write more but what for. Nobody is reading this. I wish I had never gotten rid the old blog but that's what depression and turning 35 in march did to me. Oh well that's life for me.

First full day of fall

                                                                                                                                                         

I’ll shamefully admit. I’m writing this at the desk. I’m in no mood to type this up.Part of me wants to be the window. First full day of Fall. All day it has been windy with touches of summer sprinkle through. The world consist of manly green, white and blue.. No bares branches are combing the sky. Unless you count the dead ones. But its not the same as live ones. Maybe it’s just me.

Took a walk under some cloudy sky. Brought the camera along, with a small plastic bag in the pocket. Mostly took pictures of tree branches. Theirs shapes alway intrigue me. Did most of them in black and white.. So the form is notice, not the leaves. I’ll play around with the brightness and contrast. Till everything I want to be notice,  will get  notice. took over . But I didn’t change the one above.

Odds and ends for Wednesday

Right now I have clouds from Ophelia rolling in. Might get a few showers out this. Then again I never really check the weather report today. Sometimes there is peace of mind, when you don't know everything. I have the day off, well every wednesday off this month. Just the way Life goes now. Right now having a touch of summer when I want some fall. Well it's still summer but the leaves around here are starting to turn. Yes photo op. Was going to take a walk but ran some errands and got back home late. Then got a good case of being laziness.

I finally got to do something I want to do all summer. I move my desk back to the front of teh window. I miss it. Just sitting at the desk, looking at the window. Letting the words from into poems. I miss it terribly. But this year was a bad season for the bugs. So at night, desk light just call out to all them to come and pay me a visit. Normal I just ignore them. This year I coudn’t. So Saturday was spent cleaning the windows. Yikes they were bad!!! Then I move the desk back. Ah so wonderful to look out a window. Now with the trees turning. Yes. might help the poetry. I’m writing just haven’t done any revisions. Bad poet, take her pens away!!

Also did something I been meaning to do. Go through my blog list and get rid of some. Most that got the ax were some the Quaker's one. I really didn't want to but some the stuff they talk about I didn't understand. I want be a Quaker and I know in my heart Iam one. (Then again maybe I’m not.) But with no meetinghouse around here. it's hard to do. So let them go. Maybe sometimes in my life. I'll get to go to a meeting house . However I went to Blog Search Engine and found a few more. I might on Fri go over to Watermark and raid her links. Hope you feeling better Sharon!!  Ah there’s a mother here who uses a golf cart to pick up her kids from the bus stop. Well the kid just dropped something so she had to stopped . I’m waiting from her dropped one her kids off the cart.  Oh I wish it would rain. We need the rain. Sometimes I think the trees are turning because of the lack of rain. I rather hope they turning because it’s fall. Enough for today. Later I’ll stick a photo on top.

500 POEMS!! and Not Joking Either.

I was working on printing out poems this week. Turns out I never printed the final ones since Feb. So landed up with 24 pages of poems. Now I shamely admit I keep track of the number poems I write. Can you blame me? :-) Actually the reason I need keep track of them. I lost track of what poem is finished. I have the papers all over the place.  Just the way I work. But to write about 500 poems in the last 5 years is not bad. A couple have two version. I couldn’t decide which one the best. Or sometimes they have meanings or endings. Anyway, I’m surprise by that. For awhile last year and part this year I didn’t write anything for a couple weeks.

Right now with the Star Wars story, I know that I‘m not writing that much. But I never wrote a story like this before .I'll glad when I'm done with and sad too. But with poems I proud of them. Granted not everyone is a masterpiece that would get published. Or I every publish, would let published. Too personally , so they can wait until I croak someday.

Ah it’s a lovely day today. Not too hot, the sky is the right mixture of blue and white. Though I think later on. They might turn into some thunderheads. Work was not bad today. Hardly had any people. The branch has no internet temporary, so nobody came really. Had the few patrons for books. But it’s sad when all the people really want is to use the computer and not check out books. Hey could really improve your mind and some of you could use it. Well I shouldn’t say that. Yet I don’t regret it either.

Yo there's a sign on the door.

Technically I wrote this earlier. But the branch I’m working at today. Has no internet today, so also have no circulation program to check out books. Plus no card catalog either. Oh makes for a fun day. And one person ask me to use the computer for internet I’m going to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Yo there’s a sign on the door, stating there is no (%&^$*) internet!!!!!!  Had to get that off my chest.  I did think up a way to I could spare my hwriting hand from writing all the numbers fron tthe barcodes. Work perfectly. Thank You.

Speaking of writing doing a lot of that lately. Poems and my Star Wars story.. The story is really doing bad now at fan fiction. Guess it’s not thier cup of tea. There is no lightsaber battles. No Anakin turing to the dark side. Hmm I guess going into a coma doesn’t count. I was working on the ending at lunchtime. I don’t write this story in order. Just help me that way..

The poetry part of my life is doing good. Going spend Sat night just typing up the new poems. I have bunch to do. Just never inthe mood to do them. Could do them tonight but if everything goes right, I rather spend it writing the diary.

Spent some time this week working and catching up on the photos. Altered a whole bunch of them, I’m always surpise on what I get. A simple picture of shadow, can turn into a piece of modern art. That’s what i love best about taking photos, find the other world that reides there. It’s there. Just got bring out.. And not all my shots work either. I thought  I had something in one photo all I got was nothing but a blob of color.Speaking of photos, I have to remember to upload soem photos to Flickr. Yikes i get them ready for that and complete forget about them. do that atfer I do this. Which I’m done tonight.
