I don't have to work today! *dances* Sorry for bragging. But that doesn't mean I can completely take it easy. After all, I still have some stuff to do that I can't ordinarily get done during the day anymore. Such as: I have to wash mom's sheets, go to the bank and deposit my paycheck (since the bank was closed by the time I got off on Friday), get some groceries, go to the bookstore, ect... But I'm glad I at least get a day where I can do that since ordinarily our weekends are pretty busy.

Mom said something about me helping out at the church's garage sale next weekend. I at least hope she actually asks me since she's gotten into the habit of just volunteering me for stuff and simply assuming I'm going to be doing it. I mean, what if I had already made plans? But she wouldn't know that unless she asks me.

I have my Christmas list filled out for the most part. I mean, I'll probably add a bit more, but usually I can't think of a lot of things to add.

I've been wanting to make me some icons, but I can't seem to get it right. I think I need to learn how to saturate/desaturate, but I haven't figured that out yet. It's kinda frustrating, actually.

I've been watching the 'Slayers NEXT' DVD's from Netflix again and I've been internally squeeing at the little Zel/Amelia moments (as well as the Lina/Gourry ones). I think I either have the Kyoto Arc of Kenshin coming next or 'Fushigi Yuugi' (again, sorry for the butchering of the name).

And I think my speakers are working again. I was watching something from Homestar Runner, and I noticed it. Now, if only I can find the manual for my cordless mouse so I can get back to using it again. I miss having it. Mostly for the scroll wheel...

You know, the gadget-phile inside of me wants one of those new iPod nano's...

Well, I know I have some more stuff swimming around in my brain, but it doesn't want to come forward, so I'll be 'signing off.'

Yeah, I have them bookmarked, but sometimes when I go through the memories, it can be a bit confusing...

I just did a bunch of their recent icon tutorials and learned that way.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's how I made the Soleta icon was from tips from them, but my time isn't as free anymore...

[soleta-nf.livejournal.com]

Understood. I'm just letting you know a way to learn what you said you wanted to learn...

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. Hopefully when I have more time I can look through the memories and try and find some stuff.

It might be hard to find things in the memories, like you've said. I meant to suggest that you look through a couple of the latests posts, as I learned about saturation from doing just that. It's a pretty common technique. :)

Well, sometime people get annoyed if people post about the same thing all the time. Plus I have to look for one that works on PS 7. I think my best shot would be looking through the memories, but if I get the chance, I'll look through some posts as well.

I meant that saturating is a common step in tutorials, not that there are specific tutorials on how to do it. There probably aren't.
