Been working like a maniac in flash -- buttons, animation, interactivity, art, etc. Figured I may as well start posting the links to them in the blog instead since I'm adding them at the rate of a few a day it seems. Here's what I've been up to lately:
Daria (Now you know what I watched on TV tonight)

Flash Image Viewer

Loading Movies in Flash (leaf and ball animation)

Flu. Pooh. I'm normally bragging about being "hyper-immune" girl. Bah. Stupid flu. Has had me down for about five days now, and I'm looking at a Friday and Saturday as a 2-gig weekend. I'm toast. Had a huge snowstorm last night to boot, about 5-6" judging by what I had to take off my Aztek with a broom this morning. Arizona starting to look like more attractive option.

Started subscribing to this site: www.lynda.com for their movie tutorials on a ton of packages. I figured I could afford the $25/month just by dropping some of the online games/accounts I've had going that I don't even use. I never thought it'd be a good way to learn but I must say I'm pleasantly surprised -- I'm learning a lot more tips/tricks/useful skills than I do from my books. Not a bad deal all in all. Almost like taking a class without having to leave the house.

Everyone is now ordered to keep fingers crossed for me this weekend so my voice doesn't take a nosedive since I've been sick.

I made my first turkey this year, a 10 pounder. It took FOREVER to cook. The instructions said 3.5 hours, but in reality it was over six hours. But it was the juiciest turkey I've had in a very long time, if not ever :) I made turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, gravy, and mashed potatoes. When it was all over, all that was left was some turkey... some relatives ate enough for four or five people. I guess that's a compliment. I say more like PIG *snort*.

I'm tired. Tired tired tired. Been in one of those surly, irritable moods lately. I think the day job, the after hours contracts, and the band gigs/rehearsals are getting to me. I'm tired and grouchy, and the last thing I want to do at the end of the day is sit here and work on my own site. The shoemaker's kids never have shoes. Oh well, I suppose if you see this website start looking really slick it means I have no life anymore.

Have a gig this Thursday at Grey Snail, hopefully things will go well. Then next week I'm playing my company's Christmas Party on a Friday and the Voodoo Room on a Saturday.
