Sep. 11th, 2008 07:26 amYou know you're editing a yaoi manga when you're trying to figure out where best to place the sound effect "squelch".
Eeeew.
I am about to discover how well Photoshop CS2 runs on this laptop. My computer is not a fan of CS, so I've been sticking to PS 7 for years now. But, what with work and the like, it's probably a good idea that I learn the newer versions. Plus, I'm hoping they'll make a few things easier.
My bosses over at Aarinfantasy sent me a short tutorial on a new method for cleaning scans involving curves rather than levels, and I'm eager to try it. Leveling never really gets everything off, and you have to sacrifice some depth on the tones, usually. From what the girl I'm working with says, this works a lot better.
What? I had two hours of sleep. I'm sure I can do fabulous work right now. Totally.
So, I have to wait two goddamn months for my Planned Parenthood visit because I accidentally missed the reschedule I had. Not only that, but because I want to switch my birth control, I get to have NO birth control until then, which means my body will have two subsequently hellish periods during the first two months of school, and just when it starts to get used to being hormone-free, I will be right back on the BC.
I suppose it's partially my fault, because the girl on the phone doing my scheduling was a complete moron and at some point, when I explained for the third or fourth time that scheduling a BC renewal appointment would be useless because I would be sent away until my annual, I finally just sort of shouted, "GOD JUST SCHEDULE THE ANNUAL I'LL USE CONDOMS I KNOW HOW" to get off the phone quicker. I've been through this rigamarole several times with these guys - they'll schedule you for anything you ask for, but they won't tell you that you're scheduled for the wrong thing until you get there. Then the girl said my appointment was in October one minute and September the next, and god Jesus, what a mess.
The thing that really pisses me off, though, is that I have to bring my fucking birth certificate in to get my Take Charge insurance renewed. What the hell? This is a new thing, and it is very silly. I mean, if I'm renewing something, obviously I've had it before, right? Even then, it's silly. I have a bloody social security card and photo ID, that should be all you need.
And, of course, my birth certificate is missing, which means I have to order a new one from Pierce County, which takes 4 weeks and $20.00. IRRITATED.
I'm not entirely sure that my vagina is worth this hassle.
Ooh, time to wake Ari up, which means I can go back to sleep. Photoshop will have to wait.
Eeeew.
