| Busy day, yesterday.
I left for work much earlier than usual, because we were planning on a movie that evening with friends. At work, the staff tried to throw a surprise birthday party for me and for one of the staff, whose special day was a couple of days earlier than mine. It was pleasant, and someone in the office gave me a Barnes & Noble gift card, which I promptly overspent. I'll post about those books, later.
Home, and ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) forestcats was putting up the peach butter. OMG, it's so good! Then, we were off to the movies.
We caught Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which I generally enjoyed, though I'll have to say this one thing: "teenage angst". I still prefer the first and third movies, but the overall quality of the series remains, so, I now await the final film. (And then, there's the question of whether or not Hollywood will let it be final...)
We tried to go get some dinner afterwards, as Kathy and Bill returned home to their little one, but they roll up the sidewalks in this neighborhood after ten PM, so we ended up finally at Applebee's. I had enough to eat to quell the beast in my belly, as did my beloved, and we returned home to doze off. | comments: Leave a comment   |

| Потрясающе
Человек, ни разу не появлявшийся трезвым перед камерой, в политике с 1982 г.
В том числе (за последние годы):
министр в правительстве Французского сообщества Бельгии (финансы, бюджет, спорт etc); министр в Валлонском правительстве (бюджет, финансы, общественные работы, инфраструктура etc); в настоящее время - федеральное правительство (пенсии, городская политика)...
После размещения в 2006 г. этого ролика на youtube, просмотренного более 1,5 млн раз, стал наиболее популярным (!) политиком Валлонии...
Только что опять его показали. Идет присягать королю и государству. Сильно нетрезвый. И печень в порядке, и желудок не беспокоит

| My Macbook arrived at 8:55 this morning. I missed it dearly.
It is all empty and weird looking and has none of my things uploaded. I also realized I can't just copy over photoshop form my external hard drive because you need the actual discs for registry purposes. Makes sense, but sucks since I do NOT have the discs.
I have a 30-day free trial of CS4 now but it's odd looking, and I can't use one of my very important actions because it's only for CS2/CS3. Bummer.
I'm anxiously awaiting a package in the mail that has something to do with my future give-away that I was hoping would have happened this week. I emailed last Saturday asking if the box had been shipped and just received a reply this morning asking if it was here. No. No it is not.
I have a feeling the next few weeks are going to be PACKED with new posts here. I have a back log of photos from several events, a restaurant review with pictures, and many recipes to come.
But for now, I still only get internet on the back porch, and I am currently turning into a puddle, so everything will have to wait until a little later.
Love and gum drops,

Некоторые люди не различают в лицо котов и кошек. По моему они такие разные, что сразу видно. И по характеру тоже. Иногда со всякими экзотическими породами только трудно. У них лица другие.

| This is the version I'm going with. I erased most of the darkening, but I still find the path below the subject's head to be distracting since it is so close. So I left it there. Thanks for all the critique. I like this community and am glad to contribute.

| I finally got around to putting together the panorama that I took pictures for while we were up in the Olympics last month. The process was considerably easier than it used to be since the last time I attempted this you had to use special software—now it's just built into Photoshop.
Comments and criticism are greatly appreciated.

| | I'm moving to Santa Monica from Venice, where I have not had a very good experience with Time Warner (they call their package "All the Best", which has been a joke, and not a funny one!). Do any of you lovely people have a recommendation for internet and cable in Santa Monica? I know it's POSSIBLE that Time Warner's service is better in Santa Monica then it has been in Venice, but I'm not counting on it. Thanks in advance for any advice. | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| I was playing around on the computer last night and I decided to put together a couple of HDR (high dynamic range) photographs, just to see how the process worked. Below are the results (larger versions and the original exposures below the cut tags). I tried to different methods, and I'd be really curious to hear from all of you which version you prefer. Thanks!
- Do you think these pictures look fake or otherwise totally unrealistic?
- Is the effect pleasant or unpleasant?
- If you saw a photo like this with no preamble would you instantly assume it was heavily adjusted, or just somewhat?
- What do or don't you like about these pictures?
( Here are the larger versions. )
( Want to see the three original files? ) | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
