We Are Not Being Grown-Up This Evening
Well, okay. I was grown-up today for most of the day, and it involved mortgages and refinancing. Bleh.
I also participated a bit in Dysfunctional Families Day at Making Light, which was amazingly helpful to me last year, when I had broken down even worse than anything this year. (And if you’ve been following the survivor/ptsd tags on S∂, you know it’s been pretty bad for me). Also a grown-up activity.
Then, for a break, I reverted to my college years, when I just played around with technical stuff, and I got High Slide working on this blog. Not through some wussy direct way, but through a self-install and three other plugins that had multiple usage already. If I weren’t in college mode, I’d pretty much have installed one of these HighSlide plugins, but I think I like my current solution better. It’s stable.
That work was, naturally, for my ten-year-old self, so I could upload a digital archive of the My Style Studio drawings I’ve been making. I do want to buy a book for mounting the actual drawings, but I scanned them in at high res and stored them on my multiple file stores1, then resized them to a decent size (800px high) and uploaded them here via NextGen Gallery.
At some point I’ll start reading Speech-less, but I think I’ll start on Design #9, which probably will be a remake of #1 to something… um… saner.2
Anyways. It’s nice to be ten, playing with the things my adult self bought and things my college self made, living in a house bought by my adult self and made secure by my paranoid, paranoid college self.
Bye for now.
- Surely Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and my two USB keys can’t all go at the same time. Obviously all set up by my rightfully paranoid college self. [↩]
- Oo. At that point, my little traced models on tracing paper will have more personality than the nine in 9! [↩]
