Thoughts on Sunday and more recent things
Feb. 23rd, 2009 05:28 pmYesterday was an awkward day. I went shopping with my sister and I realized how much my taste in clothes has changed since we last went shopping. It made me kind of sad, because I wish I was still determined to be more feminine with my clothes, but my depressive state of mind is so all-encompassing that I don't even care what I look like anymore. That said, I really liked a few things at Wet Seal, but I'd already bought three tees at Express and Aeropostale, so I was already over budget in my mind. My sister was apparently paying for it all, but I don't like when people pay for my purchases. Which is one of the reasons I hate traditional dates. I also hate buying clothes that I don't really need, and all I ever buy is tees to begin with.
And then later on, the red carpet for the Oscars was on and my mom was like, "let's watch it together!" But I don't care about dresses and fashion (there was a time when I said I wanted to be a fashion designer but that was a cover for another interest), so I stayed in my room. Of course, between my grandmother's snoring, the steam rising from my room's heater and the damn howling wind, I barely heard any of the telecast. Good thing I always have closed captioning on.
The awards themselves were okay. I only really gave a damn about Boyle winning, only because I've been a fan since about 2002. I've seen all his movies. He deserved that award, if not for Slumdog Millionaire, then for everything else.
And now we've come to this. I had a ton of things I wrote down to do when I turned on the computer this morning. It always happens that I make a list in my head and then get distracted by Twitter or YouTube or a file I downloaded to watch. And nothing gets done. But today I made a list and put it right in front of my keyboard. Then I turned on the computer and decided I should finally upgrade it to Leopard. But I also wanted to start from scratch. So right now I'm sending all the application files and music folder and such over to my external drive and then I'll re-install everything. But the estimation is that it'll be done copying in 36-99 hours. There's 48Gb to move and only 2.66Gb done so far. It's gonna be a while, lol
Lastly, I finally gave up on Photoshop CS and upgraded to CS3. I forgot why I didn't immediately upgrade when I got the damn thing before (and they're up to CS4 now, right?) but now I'm in the mood to get back into iconning. I know
vampira34 wants Psych icons, and I owe
taintedangel80 a Logan/Veronica .gif and icon. But everyone else, pick 3-5 of your interests or send me pictures and I'll make some headers and icons or even wallpapers if you want. My skills aren't the greatest, and I don't have a particular style but I can pretty much fake other ideas pretty well. I mean, I did my own headers and default icon on the new layout I've got up, if you're questioning my skill level. So... humor me?
...This is totally not the post I came here to make! Maybe I'll post again later tonight after Chuck, but before I talk about Big Love and Chuck.

P.S. I almost completely forgot! New buddies! There's a large round-up of contact info, a few polls and an introduction post over here. I completely overhauled the introduction post earlier today, in case any of my older friends have missed those oh so important details going on in my life, lol
ETA: BRB, DYING OF LULZ. OMG, YAHOO! ARE YOU COMPLETELY MADE OF FAIL?
