whitereflectionStayed up too late last night--but I was busy on stuff, so at least I was being productive. And I gave myself a helluva allergy attack/sinus headache, but that was a result of doing something productive, too, so I guess it's all good. Eh. *flails*
Anyhoo, finally moved the TV/VCR/Playstation into the newish entertainment center we'd scrounged from Dad and Johnna ages ago. The other VCR and DVD player are going to the upstairs-living room entertainment center, in hopes we actually get that second TV (with direct input jacks for the DVD so we can watch copy protected stuff, arrgh >< )soon. But that involved much dust and cleaning chemicals, hence the allergy crud/headache now. Much motrin with little effect, unfortunately. *flails* But when the cable guy comes over today to see why our signal's so damned fuzzy, it's all ready for how it will be permanently (and maybe he can make sure the signal stays strong for the upstairs, which will eventually have two VCRs between cable antenna and TV). Oh yeah, and there was stress for the headache too, as the VCR thwarted me--had to go dig out the manual, which I found pathetic. Should have been able to figure it out myself, I've set the thing up so often. :p
Also finally worked on getting my cel gallery ready. I've got the basics set up, and a banner and button done--and spent last night prepping the cel scans I did last September. It took a surprising amount of computer power to rotate the image (yeah, scary-big images ^^; ) and to scale it from 3100 pixels wide to 360 (for the gallery image) and 150 pixels (for the preview image). Took hours to do them all, too--but they're ready for upload. I've got them stashed on some file space we get through UNO, so I can access them from work over lunches, get that done from here. I won't open the gallery, though, until I get the other eight or so cels I acquired the last half of 2002 scanned in and prepped. I want to open the gallery once I've got everything up and just so. Yeah, the obsessive-compulsive, anal-retentive, perfectionist in me. ^^;
Along with the cable guy, the plumber's coming over to deal with that toilet leak and look at the water softener. Goodbye, dollar signs! *weeps* Ah well. And the weekend got a bit busier, as I found out the other Don wants to do a bad-movie-night on Saturday (his birthday). Will be fun, but now pretty much everthing from 6am Saturday to 6pm Sunday is booked. Gargh. I can tell I'm gonna end up fried these next couple weeks. (Reminder to self--get that exercise bike from Anj next weekend! Moving stuff into that entertainment center finally gives me the room for that. :) )
Gads, I talk too much. :p *smacks herself, wanders off*
Ed: Ohyeah, that's the other reason I'm so damned tired--James ended up having too much milk products over the weekend, which sparked one of his night terrors episodes at 3:30am. Yargh. For me, interrupted sleep is like cutting what I do get total in half. -_- *makes more zombie noises, falls asleep*
