Trouble
I'm having trouble posting lately. It's not writers block, because I'm fairly certain I'm not really a writer-at least not in the sense where I would experience a "block." I think it's more of a combination of sick of computers and sick of the news. I go through these phases where I can't help but check the news on the web every couple of hours, which usually leaves me depressed. I confess...I scroll straight down to the politics section and then find myself steaming for the next couple of hours. I steam because I read outlandish things that I know will be forgotten in the span of a couple of days which, in my opinion, should never be forgotten. In fact, I think much of what I read is punishable, and frequently criminal.

Then there is the sitting in front of a computer all day, which gets tiring...particularly when someone comes into my office and tells me they have promised a client a brand front cover, inside front cover, inside back cover, and back cover to a client and the due date is tomorrow. Oh...and they haven't written copy...."just come up with something that sounds and looks good." I'm the only designer where I work.

And....I really really really want a powerbook G4 with at least a gig of ram and at least a 1.5 ghz processor and I don't care if it's a 15 or 17 inch screen, but I need the software on it already cause I can't afford the 2500 bucks for additional desktop publishing software, so............I watch ebay....and I bid....and I watch.........and I bid....and I watch.........and I bid....and I watch.........and I bid....and I watch.....and then i just don't feel like posting on my blog at all.

So...I guess this qualifies more as a vent than a post.

I'm going to go check the news now.


P.S...I like this guy's style. www.indiauncut.blogspot.com (you have to cut and paste because blogspots link to website has disappeared from my editor.)
