just totally fucked up...i was testing out a new application to catalog my mp3s...had scanned my entire collection in, over 30Gb worth...decided the app was cool, but wanted to rescan my collection into two separate databases...so i select all and tell it to delete...it did...deleted the entries, and also deleted my entire collection from my hard drive...luckily i had backed it all up onto cds last month, but i left them with my brother...won't be able to get those back for at least a week or two im sure...i am so pissed...can't fucking believe it did that....went through the settings and found that it deletes the files too by default....fuck, fuck, fuck...what idiot decided that...of course i am also pissed at myself for missing that setting when looking through the settings...this sucks so bad i don't even have words to describe how badly this sucks.
This was written concerning a print i had sent: Burnt Fuse-A Legend In My Own Mind: Fucking Post Office!
I am very sorry for screwing up here and causing undue angst to you, and causing you to unfairly blame the post office for my error...i had foolishly thought that wrapping the print in layered bubble wrap, and cardboard would protect it weel enough for shipping...I was wrong in this assumption...I did some checking up on it, and found that framed prints require either using plexi vs. glass, or they must be crated to arrive with the glass unbroken...it was my bad...i had sent a print sevaeral weeks earlier to my mom, packed the same way, with the same result...i didn't realize this in time , as she had not told me of the broken glass until i saw her, thinking to spare my feelings...ugh...i know better now, and will not make this mistake again.
i have come to the realization over the pasrt week or so, that if i want to have any realistic expectation of making a living selling my art, i need a new printer...while we have a kickass printer, a hp cp1700d, it is not up to handling the requirements of the job for printing art and photography...it can't do true photo quality at 8 x 10 and larger, and worse yet, can't handle 13 x 19, let alone 13 x 44, use rolls of paper, and many other things...after looking around, i concluded i need an epson stylus photo 2200, and a good supply of paper...unfortunately i don't even have the $600 to $700 for the printer, or even a spare $200 or so for paper...i figure the only quick and painless solution is for me to hope that one of my loyal readers has a spare laying around that they would like to let me have, or better yet, feels like buying me one...so if any of you are desparately trying to think of how to spend all the excess money you have laying around, i suggest you use it to help out an aspiring artist, me.
so i was intrigued by this Wow, this fucking Quiz Was Actually Right, and was curious to see if it would work for me...so i went and took the quiz, and sure enough according to them, i am definately a man...nice to have their affirmation of that....some things the gender test has learned:
Men prefer falling over drowning to death.
Women really hate the word "moist".
Women are more likely to realize that clams
are alive (88%) than men (only 85%).
wow...i have reached 200 entries in my blog...exciting as hell, isn't it...yes, this entry counts, even though it is totally pointless, gratuitous, and lame...i had to mark this momentous occasion somehow...why not do so by resorting to patting myself on the back in here...ok, enough of this, hopefully i will have something worthwhile to write here soon.
my head feels like it is stuffed with a combination of swiss cheese and cotton balls...too little sleep, a manic seratonin feast for the last 24 hours or so will do that i think..oh wait, thinking function off-line for now...maybe food and sleep will help.
saw a high school football score from a couple of local teams in The Dallas Morning News... final score was 92-0...not mentioning the schools, because it's not really important, and no need to further humiliate the losers....my question hereis, how the hell does that losing coach help his team get over this serious of an ass whoopin....you know every player on that team must feel lower than low...i imagine most of them are terrified to return to school monday and face their classmates.
well i think i can officially say my brain has gone on vacation until i sleep...alas, that will be a while yet...must go to the bank, and what can be more fun that driving while brain dead...lot's of practice at this have i...well i have worked straight through two days and nights, which is not terribly unusual, just who truly productive they were...aside from the galleries, i helped by girlfriend by doing a bit of work on her D'onofrio site, answering the questions for the FAQ application, and did some tasks on the forum...also finsihed converting one of my project web sites over to the visual angst style, even created more graphics for it, mail button and stuff...also wrote descriptions for every web site of mine, my g/f's, or friends, and family, for use in creating a private link directory for us to pass around...after all this i am fried...it was the writing that really did it...sat down at the computer with a pad and pen at 10 last night, finished the last description, looked and realized it was light otu, it was 7 this morning, bleah...might be back after running errand, but that is to far in the future to be certain...i should be adding some link modules to the right column very soon, cause it don't seem right to mix regular links in with the blogrolling links...if yer bored, yeah right, go visit my gallery, or my sister's site, or my girlfriend's D'Onofrio site...all are easy places to kill lots of time
added my entries from my deviantart journal (completely forgotten about it), which should complete chore of importing my old stuff...these are mostly short as wasn't approaching it as a true journal, but wanted to include them for completeness sake....the site i babbl about there is visualangst.com , which is down for repair, but back soon with any luck....wasted some time creating a rating graphic based on my comment to this Social Reject-Bloggy Rudeness entry, which margi immediately incorprorated into her blog's disclaimer...so i thought why not add it to my site as well, but being me, could not make it simple on myself, therefore the hours creating a parody of the official MPAA ratings image...i hope to have it incorporated soon, how soon depends on me deciding adjustments to the layout and cajoling my girlfriend into making the required changes to the code, as i am a complete idiot when it comes to code...good thing she loves me, because if i tried to code, even the simplest of stuff, all my sites would look like they were built by designed by a chimpanzee on drugs
