MURDER

OK, I'm doing something for a certain University. They have a deadline for the project of Dec 3rd, which was today. But I didn't get what I needed at the start of November, oh no, I got it on Friday. And final approval today. So now I'm rushing to finish it.

Which is fine.

But, I need to buy a program online to make the right templates, and Adobe's site is not allowing me to purchase it. I was using the 30 day trial version of it, but that expired yesterday. It will let me purchase a 5-seat license for $700. But not a single license for Mac. I could get a single license for Windows, but I need Mac. Vexing.

Yuck.

UPDATE : Hey, I could buy the French Mac version.

Five Stages of Christmas
Category: holidays

Five Stages of ~~Grief~~ Christmas

Stage 1: Holiday Cheer.

Stage 2: Grumbling.

Stage 3: Heavy Drinking.

Stage 4: Blood EVERYWHERE.

Stage 5: Acceptance.

james - 11/29/07 00:16
I have only three stages
drink, drank, drunk

it is the only way to navigate this god damned holiday. *spit*

tinypliny - 11/28/07 23:52
Stage 4 is where you murder people? I don't get it. :?

1. Disgust at ever earlier decorations (Aug-Oct.)

2. Indifference (Nov.)

3. Fearing the double whammy where everything's closed and there's nothing on TV but christmas specials (Early Dec.)

4. Buy a video game that I can realistically play for the next 24 hours (x-mas eve).

5. Lock myself away in my apartment for the next 24 hours and have no contact with the outside world (Dec. 25)

6. Reflect on having succesfully passed yet another test of my faith (Dec. 26)

Contrary to popular legend, I've never actually had Chinese on Christmas (although it's on my to-do list).

I think for me, it goes:

Grumbling, blood, drinking, acceptance, cheer.

But you definitely nailed the 5 stages.

And now, back to work.

The Golden Compass
Category: culture

The Golden Compass is coming out soon, and I can't wait to see it. Anyone up for going as an (e:strip) gang? Just watch out for those atheistic overtones, you might want to keep small children away lest they be corrupted.

carolinian - 11/28/07 09:40
Me and (e:inscrutable) want to see it, too.

fellyconnelly - 11/27/07 23:04
i watched the preview without sound and it still looks pretty nifty.

side note: armored polar bears reminds me of an old rumpleminz advertizement with a really hot chick riding a polarbear and they were both in a drunken rage.....

anyway this movie looks pretty neat!

jim - 11/27/07 21:32
I added a preview for the movie inline to my post.

james - 11/27/07 21:05
It is fantastic Janelle. A fantasy retelling of Paradise Lost... WITH ARMORED POLAR BEARS!!!!

janelle - 11/27/07 18:28
I want to be corrupted! I am definitely interested in seeing the movie. I've read a little about it so it's piqued my curiousity.
