Today's Agenda

I had a bunch of stuff I expected to do this evening that didn't get done, but instead I talked with someone I hadn't chatted with in a long time. It's funny how you can talk with someone for two hours and not notice how long you've been there. When I went back to St. Louis to visit for December, I was out almost every other night at least, and I still didn't get to do everything I wanted. I intend to go back this summer, soon, and I don't think it'll get any better, regarding time.

Just this Sunday, I edited one of my journals to kind of resemble the old amber-and-black screens from old Apple machines. I was pretty proud, because it took about an hour to track down every indication of the old formatting and replace it with something appropriate. When I finally submitted it, the only thing anyone had to say was Brent informing me that I was missing scanlines.

I took that to heart and when I went home, I opened up Photoshop and made my first attempt at scanlines. Failure. At 2x2 and alternating black and transparent, it basically made it unreadable. I may have screwed something up, but regardless, I will be successful.

Vi got into Magic just a little later then me. Someone at Monday's play group said it for me - "When a deck you design does well, you're proud of it. You want it to do well, even if you're not playing it." It's kind of true. I want to hear that she built decks based on the rough guidelines and wins. So... proud...
