Curently Listening to : Yeah yeah yeahs - Mysteries

So after a much big delay I got round to upgrading Wordpress to the latest version. It’s all changed! Argh, so weird but yet quite cool, apart from it annoys me how the side panels with the options etc are now down at the bottom so I have to scroll down there to set them :(

But I’m liking these links to let me add various media to the post now. Woot mega awesome.

I think some things are still a bit buggy mind, but I’m sure they’ll slowly get ironed out and all.

This will be fun…

Be kind to raptors…Okay?

Mood : strange
Curently Listening to : Tool - Pushit (live)

I’m off to Leeds tomorrow after work. Woo, fun travelling and minor adventure. Plus I should get some sushi while I’m at it. Mmm sushi. I hope I don’t get lost.

Some things to note, the theme is well…not there, I got bored and decided to change it to the default one, so you know, just deal…until I have time to really crack at it. This is because priority at the moment is the portfolios and cvs and thinking about my future. I seem to be helping other people with theirs. Who’s going to help me with mine?

Going to get a new pc box, need it before this one drives me mad. I don’t care if it costs me money, I need to do it so I can actually produce something without waiting a few mins for CS3 to open a file.

Watch this space, while I get frustrated with trying to design things again. My mind is blank I can’t even visualise layout ideas any more. It’s driving me up the wall. Darren says I shouldn’t think about it too much and it’ll just happen but gargh - nuts, driving me nuts.

Speaking of Darren…

Now that you feel it, you don’t: but yeah europe is deffo on the cards still
Darren: yep yep
Darren: lol, we should just go to london, bring your passport, and we should just drive to france and then keep going
Darren: planning is for pussies
Now that you feel it, you don’t: haha you know what, we should
Now that you feel it, you don’t: just take a passport, moneh gear and off we go
Darren: phone home and be all “yeah mum? im staying at a friends house, be back in a few er weeks”

Haha <3

Just need to save, then I’d be gone.

But it’s weird. I still feel torn. Between travelling and trying to focus on a job I love. Torn and unsure, what does this mean?

Got peved at not being able to play guitar earlier and trimmed one of my fake nails so I could fret, god I want to playyyy… I wish I could play, I wish I had any remote skill in it whatsoever - gay.

Weekend at Amy’s is still happening, seems like real random old schoolie catch up, drinking also, don’t think I’d drink - I feel uneasy about drinking lately. Actually is moreso I don’t trust myself while boozed up, I’m in a mega self control freak mode of late.

I better go pack, hmm do I take laptop or not? *ponders*

It’s Updated

Saturday, March 8th, 2008
  

I just updated my WordPress (Okay Bob? Now shh)

Was going to work on a theme tonight but I ended up chatting to Paul on the phone for a while and then I got tired but I was determined to do the update before I go to bed to work the weekend.

Oh and everyone should read this, well only those people who are like me and wanting to change my life but for some reason can’t quite seem to manage it.

How thousands have learned to transform their lives

God I love lifehacking and zenlike reading sites. It’s better than reading crap on a message board. Can get a bit repetitive though but I always seem to find something new out of it all.

Anyway, I am going to V festival babeh - Much Thanks to Stephie for picking me up a ticket too so I don’t have to worry about it. Will have to pay her back when I can afford it, unfortunately will need to get a Download ticket soon I think :/ But yeah V will be ace, a good group going, though third of the group consists of couples - but that’s okay me and the blokes (Ste and Stu) can bloke it up, yip. Line up is a bit pap, it’s a very NME indie fest though I’ll get my dose of random METALLL with Download.

I wish I could merge all the good bands from each genre together, ah for the days of awesome festival Lineups, festival line ups use to be so much better before they got trendy.

What the hell am I on about, I should just find snackage and then sleep..stupid work…grrs

Aim for tomorrow

Curently Listening to : Radiohead - Nude

Daily goal for tomorrow: Update my blog and start to tweak a new theme.

Secondary goal: Process and upload photos and catch up

Righty back on the daily grind till Monday night when I shall be nipping up nurf for a quick skint. I have loads of random jobs to do before I go though.

Stephie is getting me my V ticket tomorrow since I can’t afford it yet <3 I hope she’s successful, plus she’s going - yay! It’s going to be a good bunch of people going. I have to wake her up for the sale of the tickets ha.

Have successfully cleared my room and now sleeping on a mattress in the spare room tonight. Yip.

Time for bed.

19days till pay day!

I’m going to download me some new music. I shall check out Bjork since David was listening to her a while back.

It’s a mess?!

Mood : weird
Curently Listening to : Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize

Okay okay, last night at some ungodly hour I decided I was determined to upgrade my copy of Wordpress, as part of the plan to revamp this place. Of course every time I attempt to go about such a simple procedure I always tend to cock up somewhere. But yeah a five minute job turned into a half hour one..but now it’s done!

You may notice some odd things haven’t returned, this is because the plugins I was using for them have now changed/expired, so now I can’t implement everything again grr.

But! This won’t matter, because as I redesign it’s all changing anyway so yeah…if you ever stumble across this place and it’s a mess, then it’s probably me working on it…

And woo tags! How exciting…

Yummy CS3

Curently Listening to : Deftones - My own summer (shove it)

After fighting with it for a while I finally got CS3 on my machine and running fine so far. I mean I’ve been processing some RAW in it today and there’s more options that CS2 >_< eeep so need to have a play and get use to it.

Was most inspired by a .net spread on design, about how though web2.0 is the current thing it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the daddy aesthetics-wise. So it showed how to make an actually simple but effective interesting design. It was cool.

Anyhow I don’t want to copy it (if I did I would have just brought the mag and followed the tutorial word to word) but I do want to do something similar. I mean I want to follow the similar kind of simple but effective feel, but at the same time being all goody goody with the W3C stuffs and all.

I’m going to crack on with it tomorrow. Better words to use; I’m dead pumped.

Had an alright time at the Job centre, I got the tough lady from ages ago but I could churn up enough info to satisfy her. I found a big hoard of jobs to apply for too, lots of photo-related stuff which is quite exciting. So yeah, just gonna update my current photos on my portfolio and apply…

But fuck every little worry for the time being.

I’m off to play DS. Weee…
