I spent most of Friday morning taking photos for my Photoshop assignment: "Objects in a Landscape." Which is basically going to images of some of my toys (in various poses) superimposed into a landscape of some kind. There is a theme but I'm not sure how well I'll pull it off. And I might cheat and use some kind of landscape generator, as opposed to using landscape photos or another technique I'm thinking of: screwing up paper, scanning it and trying to turn it into rolling hills and things.
I went into town to bother the decks/drum shop to let me take shots of their decks and mixers for the project. But they didn't have any in stock so I've been told to go back on Wednesday. The guy was really helpful though.
I went into college and couldn't find the Photoshop class so went to the ceramics block and pestered Lucy and Becky. I ended up doodling a cute little raver thing though, in a DR-inspired way.
Later I went to the pub to see some ex-Stratford college friends back from uni. It was a good night and I got just enough drunk/stoned that everything was funny. Even when we got pestered by this really scutty drunk raver who was still stuck in 1992 at the train station. Words can not convey the comedy in motion at that station - it was just surreal.
Saturday - work. Then I went into Leam again to meet Penny. And that night in the Well was amazing, the first it's been that good in about 6 months - it seemed like the good old days, where I knew most of the people there. It was really good seeing Penny and Alex turned up as well, so it was a little ALS reunion ;) I was really nervous before she turned up but I think things went well.
Got home at 3am and crashed, before going to work for 9 on Sunday. Argh, I was still pissed until about lunchtime. And I had to deal with ex-girlfriend Donna and her fiance. I don't mind the ex but he really annoys me. But he's terrified of me so it's not as if I have to deal with him too often. And I really want them to get married and settle into the lifestyle of the average couple on the estate where they live: get married, have kids, end up hating yourself and your partner but never leave them, working the same shitty job for years on end with no hope of promotion. Heh, Donna is half-way there - she's been at Homebase almost as long as I have and is still working the tills.
But she did try and talk to me today, so we didn't blank each other completely (like we do at college). And she's progressing further in her "I used to think I was the most alternative person to have ever existed because I listened to Korn but now I'm going to try and be respectable by alienating all of my friends and be that which I used to hate: trendy as fuck" plan. Not that I find this amusing at all ;)
Work was all right over all though: spoke more to Rob, who is the guy I have to spend most of the day with. I've known him for years (through being friends with Donna and Amy) but we've never really spoken. But he seems nice enough now.
I near-promised Devi that the SLZ events section would be finished tonight. It's not going to happen. I've been spending my time working on stuff for my vis.comm. project which I guess is more important. Actually that's all a lie. I've been fucking around in Poser 3 but by chance managed to create something that'll be perfect for the project :)
So now it's back to researching stuff for said project. Downloading anything I can get my hands on concerning Designers Republic... they still haven't replied to my letter asking for research stuff, grrr.
