Me + Layouts = Disaster
Aug. 16th, 2003 06:28 pmOkay, so I'm good with Dreamweaver, and I'm good with Photoshop, but when it comes to making layouts, we don't work well together at all. Seriously, I thought I had talent and maybe even flair, back in the day, but all it is is mooching off someone else's designs. I can't do this! It's driving me nuts. Someone must have taken this nice graphic of Usagi (Sailormoon) and ImageReady'd it, and now it looks like this faboo layout... but somehow, by MY adding text, I f*d everything up.
I've been trying to fix it ever since I f*d it up, and I just can't do it. Worse, the site where I got it from (Illness Illusions) is GONE! DISAPPEARED! ;_; I had a bad feeling this was going to happen- and me without a backup copy! AUGH! So my best bet at this point is to a) give up-- which is not a Sweet thing to do; or b) try to take the source graphics and rearrange them myself. Suffice it to say, I'm going to do b) but I'm not looking foward to it. I've got so many layouts on my computer anyway, it's about time I start using them. Anyway, if you think you can help me, it's a big mess of table problems. If you're good with tables, do help me.
Okay, so I went out to lunch with my Dad today-- actually, we went to the Legion of Honor first. And we talked, which was cool. By the time we had lunch/supper at Gaspare's though (so much CHEESE!) he was, of course, making fun of my mom. Dorks, the both of them, and highly immature. But it was more a passing joke than sheer insults and the like.
Anyway, so road trip coming up-- I hope. It's a weekend affair, the weekend of the 23rd/24th (technically we leave on Friday the 22nd, at night) and we drive to see the grandparents. I always like seeing them, and if a road trip will improve said family status with dad, all the better. Speaking of family status... well, Brooke's getting married on the 13th of September, and of course, I have to go/stay with Dad when that happens. Even if they're doing something the day before, I'm not technically part of it, according to my Dad. And he's right-- right in front of me, post-wedding shower, Brooke gave Shaina (her sister, my cousin) and Erin (also cousin) their bridesmaid dresses. I, clearly, am not close enough to her to merit being one. And pshaw! Should I really care? 1) Never been that close to them anyway. 2) Once a bridesmaid, never a bride. You've all heard it before. 3) Lots of pressure, to dos, have to look good, blah. 4) Bridesmaid dresses usually don't look good, and end up for resale at your local garage. Ergo, not a big deal. Right?
So, that's what's up with today and all. Mom's still not home. I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't come home tonight, either. Feh, parents-- WHO NEEDS THEM? I'm being sarcastic, here, people. -.-; Well, between layout frustration and a lack of creativity springing forth for anything else (including fanfiction) I think I'll take a post-dinner nap. Yeah.
