Today was insane at soccer. First 5 minutes I got taken down twice by their defenders. One of those times I banged my head on the grass, both the times they grabbed me by the shirt because they got angry I ran past them full force. Don’t grab me or I’ll freak. I don’t think I’ve ever sworn so much in my life. J**.F**.C**!! Second half they put three freaking defenders on me. Good thing they were slower than I, did some nifty tricks and went past them, hehe. Anyway, it was a tough game. Got taken out again in second half. I got SO many free kicks today. I don’t know why I didn’t score, nobody scored. Tied game 0-0. It’s ok. Three more outdoor games this season. Then it’s indoor season where I’m playing in two leagues. I think I’m in need of purchasing some neat indoor shoes. I don’t even know if these are men’s or women’s, but I sure do like’em. Toronto shopping here I come!
Designer appreciation
Graphic Designers from time–to–time are faced with difficult clients who in retrospeck shouldn’t have hired a designer in the first place. These are the people who think they know what good design is. The people who want to make their logos bigger, and bolder and quite frankly, ugly and dated looking. I promise you, whether or not you’re a designer you will appreciate this video and will most likely be singing it for the next few minutes afterwards. I know I did, and had a great chuckle out of it. Watch: ‘Make my logo bigger.’ This clever website & video comes from the people over at Agency Fusion.
Squinty eyes smile
Don’t be alarmed! It’s still me.
Obviously, I deleted my previous layout and installed wordpress, downloaded a new theme and I’ve been trying to tweak it – with no luck. Seems anytime I do anything to it, the darn thing breaks on me and all the links are all on the bottom instead of on the right hand column over there. I also want to create a nice banner instead of having a bland ‘simplistic’ black bar with white text showing my web url up top. I guess that will come with time. But I gotta say, updating this way makes it a lot more easier for me to come home from a day at work, and update more freqently than having to open Dreamweaver’s index.html file, copy and paste my code and then enter br’s anytime I want a new paragraph. I’m way far behind on this whole wordpress thing, seeing how when I went into my dreamhost thing, it looks like I tried to create a new account back in 2006… oops. I guess I should have saved my previous index files, with like uh… ALL of my posts from forever ago? Guess that’s a long gonerrr.
During my frustrations, trying to conquer wordpress… I came across some pretty neat blogs. I’ve updated my Blogroll and added some new daily reads to my list. There’s one girl, who resembles myself in a way. Unfortunately I do not know her name, so we’ll just call her ‘she’ for now. She too is a Graphic Designer, I read that she plays/played soccer, she climbs too! How cool is that? Keepin’ her in the links.
How good are you at spotting a fake smile from a mile away? I was completely confident in my ways, but the quiz totally proved me wrong there. I thought I was doing awesome during the whole thing picking out who wasn’t smiling genuinely or who was. Pressing the ‘play’ button to see their cheesy grins. My marks show that I got an embarrassing 11 out of 20 questions correct. Try it for yourself! See if you beat my score, lol.
Anyway I’m off to edit the design page and get some updated work on there.
