Meh. Meh. Lots of meh.
Dec. 18th, 2011 10:03 pmI've been a little absent because Daniel's computer is still here and I'm using it exclusively now, mostly out of laziness. (Switching back and forth requires plugging cables in and out, so.) I don't have my bookmarks or any of that stuff, which is bad for "productivity" (in terms of internet "responsibilities" - ahaha what is my life) because I need visual reminders and convenient clickable buttons to have any chance at all of staying on top of things.
Also I can't concentrate and have only been skimming my reading page at best. Sorry.
We haven't finished the present yet, either. It's definitely not going to be done in time for Christmas anymore, argh! So ... a birthday present then. It's not like he'll sit there expecting to get anything from us, so I guess it doesn't really matter whether the surprise comes during the holidays or two weeks later. When he turns four. Freaking four years, people! Wow. I can't ... no, I don't even want to think about it. :|
And we were so close to getting it done ... the new software was much better indeed, and after a couple of hours we thought we were finished. Then we realised that you could only change the number of pages in increments of four, so we were left with three empty pages. GAH. We didn't want to delete any of the pictures that we'd already chosen, but adding more seemed awfully difficult because they were all arranged in the order they were taken and putting new ones in would have messed everything up. Then we had the brilliant idea to fill the last three pages with current pictures of us and our families, but of course I was the only one of whom current pictures existed ...
Yesterday we wanted to meet up to take some, except Daniel couldn't sleep and ended up looking like crap (he didn't manage to shower before I arrived). He'd also meant to photograph his mother and his brother, but then his brother wasn't even awake yet. Everything just went wrong. I left my camera there so they could do it among themselves later or today, but I don't know whether they did because he hasn't been answering his phone. >_< Meanwhile my own mother promised to look for any pictures she could send me, which also hasn't happened yet. Seriously, MY LIFE. Just. ARGH. This is how it always goes. Cooperating with other people: bad idea.
Anyway, I should probably stop worrying about it because it's already clear that it won't be a Christmas present anymore, so technically I've suddenly got all the time in the world. I'm just upset that it didn't work out as planned.
Working with Daniel was fun, though. I love how he just agreed with almost all of my design decisions - not because he didn't care either way, but rather because he just agreed, you know? We really happen to have similar tastes in many things. It was often like that when we bought furniture, too. (Except he suggested more fancy lights and weird decorations. I did always tease him about that ...)
