didn't sleep - insomnia sucks  
I deliberately avoided the computer last nght - too frustrated with not being able to icon anything to do anything else and tried to get a decent amount of sleep. Robert Burns once said "the best laid plans of mice and men, gang aft agley". Too damn true.

So I've had maybe three hours sleep, it's raining outside, my neck is a little achey for some reason and my coffee tastes like bovril. It's definitely coffee, but it has a beef-like taste to it which is just wrong.

Ah well, at least I'm determined to get some more icons done today - sometimes when I'm sleep-deprived I rattle through them (probably because my inner art censor who keeps saying "that's crap - shut down the prgoramme without saving it!" gets easier to ignore when I'm tired)

And on a random work-related note, if I never see the frelling IngentaConnect site again it'll be too soon...
 
 
Current Mood: confused about my coffee....

Sorry for ranting, everything just seems to piling up right noe - it'll be fine again tomorrow, hell maybe even by the time I finish this godawful coffee...

Sho, seriously, coming from someone who rarely ever sleeps for whatever reason, I understand. Rant all ya wanna, too. It's your right as a person to express your feelings. :)

Sorry your coffee is horrid, though. That would make any morning start off badly. A morning without sleep... ugh. More {{hugs}}.

I hope you end up having a great day!

*g* well I just found a fantastic photoshop tutorial which actually explains masks and how they work in terms I understand. I hate tutorials which just say 'mask this area' and when you ask why that works they get all huffy. Vrya (http://www.vrya.net/ts/index.php) explains in photography terms which I get since my dad was very into photography and passed the bug onto me (just a shame I suck at taking pictures!). Finding that has made my day that little bit better already!

(Plus, she has some amazing Firefly graphics on her site as well!)

I think for the rest of the day I'm just going to keep my head down,get on with work, and maybe try out this tutorial at lunchtime. Hopefully if I can get that to work out in a way I like I'll be back on track and feeling more positive about things.

I'm sorry you didn't get much sleep. And bad coffee, tasting like bovril. I hope you've had several other cups since then that were a lot better.
