A faster way to copy and transfer layer styles in Photoshop. Yes, I am quite the geek.

Because what else do I have this blog for? Anyway, I just set up an account on DeviantArt. Just to see what I can do with it.

I have found… things never to do in a Shakespearean production. I snarfed my drink reading this one. And I /don’t/ snarf easily.

It’s been a while since I got good and tired of looking at this design every day…. so long in fact, that I seem to have lost all of my pointers to “really good looking sites that I want to use for inspiration”. Bah. Off to find ideas.

Yes, we will send you up to two free proofs on your art or typesetting. After that, we charge for them. No, you really can’t sneak one in through the back door by asking for just one more eensy weensy change that you don’t need to see before sending the job to press.

If you request a change, you have to see and approve it. No exceptions. If you don’t want to pay for extra proofs, get your ducks in a row BEFORE you give me the changes.

This comes very close to describing how I often feel:

And it explains how I feel as a bi-female…I am feeling a little embattled as my well-meaning straight friends are kind of like, “it sucks…but less for you, because you can ‘pass’ and live in a Northern state.” And it’s like, yes, I can pass…but that’s an ugly thing you’re saying if you think about it in your pleas for compromise and slow movement.

Close, but not quite - because I have to admit to a lot of anger. Not just anger at straight, conservative america, that wants to make anyone or anything they can’t understand just go away, but anger at gay america, that looks down their noses at me, because I can “pass”. Because the person I happen to be in love with is a man, I don’t count. I’m in a transitional phase. Or I’m just being trendy.

So, I’m disdained as a queer, or disdained as not being queer enough. This is the legacy of the gay rights movement - a land where I’m more comfortable coming out to anyone straight that I am outing myself to a gay man or woman…. because I won’t be taken seriously.

Congratulations, folks.

I should be able to come up with something grand, angry, and/or witty. But all I can say…. is crap. Forget about the goddamed presidency - a majority of the american people believe that I and others like me are not deserving of the same basic rights they enjoy.

Fuck them all.

And yeah - I did vote. Not that NJ was much of a stretch
