Journal Entry: Wed May 14, 2008, 2:33 PM
Just a few things that made me laugh today - I haven't updated much recently and got a bit tired of staring at the same journal all over again...anyway, here they are:

I dare you not to laugh at this

Who knew that Tommy Lee Jones is a perfect fit for Japanese storytelling sensibilities :?

ADDENDUM:

And a trailer for a symbolical and rather impressive looking film (with a pulpy story :dance:)

once you install it, it might be like tetris ;)

Thank you, but I've already found it :) I haven't installed it yet, though, for fear of another long, sleepless night ;)

more or less ;)
I think you'd enjoy cool edit quite much, it's easily available in the net, I suppose. But if you have problems with finding it, just let me know, I'll look for the source I got it from ;)

Which means you'll be in bed day after tomorrow, right? ;)
I am somewhat addicted, yes, but I'm still trying to modulate my voice properly- reading stories is fun, but to act them out properly isn't too easy, especially with my rather quiet voice (in addition I now hear everything I write down as if I were to record it ;))...I got a cheap microphone, but for the moment it serves me alright...thank you for mentioning "Cool Edit Pro" - I'll take a look at that. :)

*Sarachmet:iconSarachmet: 3 days 8 hours ago
don't be so happy about that, I'm going to take some record in going to bed late, tody :roll:
I ahd the same when I first got the microphone. It's a professional one for singer, so, in combination with "Cool Edit Pro " ( a great program for voice recording and editing! ) I could have spent hours on sayinh 'hello" and trying it with different filters on, heheheh

:dance: I finally managed going to bed later than you :dance: I didn't plan to, but first the photoshop complications and then the voice recording ...I was lost for a while :) (you can get them with text [lyrics ;)], since I want to record bits of uploaded stories and travel journals - and maybe the cat will make an appearance ;))
Thank you for the :sun: (here's a thunderstorm brewing, but it is quite warm, so a sun is welcome) Go and get some sleep, then, if you can afford to :)

*Sarachmet:iconSarachmet: 3 days 16 hours ago
oh my 4:30 a.m.? I'm shocked, especially that I must surprise you, as I went to bed at some 2.a.m ( finally, the lack of sleep forced me to , I was practically uncoscious yesterday evening ). Even now I feel like I could sleep another 12 hours ( maybe I will, heh)...anyway, I'd like to get some audio stories, however you must be aware of the fact, I'd possibly need them in some slow motion, to understand ;) I'm glad you found the PS options on your own, congrats for that :party: :sun: ;)

*charonferryman:iconcharonferryman: 3 days 16 hours ago
Thank you :) I found this out on my own, though, and was happy and proud for a moment and, what's more important, I managed to put together an amateurish kind of comic (though the cat seems somewhat ashamed - she doesn't look at me now ;))...I sent it to you via e-mail.
I actually started looking at the Help function when I became really desperate...
Something else...I bought a microphone yesterday and played aorund with it until 4:30 in the morning, recording bits of stories and so on, so I might send you an audio file at some point :)

file/image size - tha't the option for resizing images (menu toolbar, at the top ; once you change the size, make sure that the resolution is not too high, I usually choose 72 dpi/inch option for files which are to be displayed only in the internet ). I have an older version of Photoshop, though I also have the cs2 somewhere, on my shelf but it contains all these actions/filters I don't really need to use. As for tutorials, I think the simplest Photoshop help would work better than these, it's quite helpful ;)

:nod: let's :cuddle: that's a good idea :)
i personally agree with the student's judgement :smooch:
*charonferryman:iconcharonferryman: 4 days 1 hour ago
:rofl: :blush: :rose:

For some reason I see this playing out either as an anime or a song and dance number in my head. It is absolutely great (except for the fact that I do not agree with the student's judgement at all). Have a :kiss: and let's :cuddle:.

No need to apologize for mistakes - I'm not a grammar/spelling teacher ;)

Now I feel like I need a coffee...the reason why I limit my use of Photoshop (it's CS 2, by the way) is that every action is drawn out into multiple sub-actions all of which I don't know or understand...after searching for an hour through increasingly strange online tutorials your suggestion helped quite a lot :) Thank you. Now all I need to do is find out how to resize images...I think that's all, anyway :hmm:

I just did some cleaning at my profile and in journals, so I'm answerig here, as my answers would probably be hidden rom now on. I'm afraid I don;t really know how to collect images in one, in one action. I wuld try that manually. Create a larger file, and paste smaller images into it ( using select area ( top-left on a toolbar) /copy/paste >options , it should be quite easy. I can check the collecting option tomorrow, if you'd wait with that a day. What kind of Photoshop do you have, may I ask? ( 6.0, 7.0 , cs2... )?

I remember, I discovered her through Dead Can Dance records, but also followed her (more extensive) later output as well as the work of her then-partner Brendan Perry...it is beautiful music, quite simply :)

I hope so, but I haven't had a pleasure of meeting very many here on DA, unfortunately. That's why it's nice to spot those rare ones who do like her work :)

You're very welcome :) Since she's an amazing and otherworldly singer I'd think there'd be quite a few. ;)
