Evidence that I really am way too tired to be functioning:
I was downstairs with Steven and we were watching Changing Rooms. There was an add for “Monarch of the Glen” (Scottish soap-operaish show), and it said, “Loch up your daughters.” I slapped my knee, pointed at the TV, and said, “HA ha. Pun.” Steven burst out laughing and we nearly spilled cheetos everywhere. Of course, because I said it funny this probably won’t convey very well through the written word, but trust me. He said I sounded like I was on valium. Yeah.
I’ve spent all afternoon and evening working on a more concise version of my portfolio that’s just pictures of my work with only a sentence or two of explanation. Paul said it’d be a really good thing to include with my resume, so I got to work. I came up with a design, but I’m not entirely convinced I’m in love with it. I keep going from absolutely loving it to thinking it’s absolutely dull. It’s just so different from what I usually do – well, at least I think so. Plus, I haven’t used that color much. It’s a kinda three shades of tealish, sea green. It’s pretty, I think, but I’m not used to it. Maybe I’ll be able to tell for sure tomorrow morning. Either way, I don’t think I’m going to bother changing it just for design purposes. I’ve spent too much time on it, and it’s so complicated I doubt I could ever reconstruct it. But, if it turns out it’s not what Paul meant by that kind of portfolio, then I’ll shift it around. But not just cause I decide the color isn’t me. And by no means will it turn blue. No. No blue. I do too much blue, and I don’t even mean to. It’s just that blue is so much easier to put on the web. Reds, they can change from pink to orange depending on the monitor. Greens; too bright to pukey in an instant. Oranges, don’t even get me started. Blues are my comfort color, I just don’t have to worry about those.
Sorry, didn’t mean to get into a color rant. 🙂
HA ha. Pun. Loch. Lock. Yeah.
I need sleep.
