Business as Usual



Too much to do to blog much today....

List:

  • Two print orders
  • 2 boxes
  • ACEO box for AT
  • Art supply box (oh, so many awesome choices!!) - emailed, finalized, need to ship. - still need to choose subject.
  • Appt at 3
  • Return Netflix disc (Fringe!! WANT NEXT DISC!)

  • Contact locals to deliver their boxes
  • Finish DM site
  • Work on C-C site
  • Prod on SE and PE sites - waiting for materials and access.
  • Improvements to SF site: Better supporter perks (especially notation on the prompt page), ability to upload to old sketch fests/claim old work. Fix prompt page so it doesn't run so slow (too many pictures!), break out finished sketches to new pages, streamline data requests.
  • Emails - OHGODOHGODOHGOD.
  • Finish Winter Sketch
  • Finish writing The Visit
  • Finish taxes - estimated! Not too painful!
  • List coloring books
  • Update CC at paypal
  • Mondaily...

    I am determined to finish my taxes today. Too bad I can't bill hours for this task - what a hassle!! Blah.

    Then I have some major coding task to tackle.

    I will be well and thoroughly THROUGH with logic puzzles by that point.

    Dance rehearsal tonight. Laundry is spinning, Roomba is vacuuming.

    Have a few art-y/writingy things I'd like to work on, but I'm not sure I'll have time today.

    I'm wrangling myself back on track... working on the Pathfinders site and project, getting the last calendar polished up, updating the artists guidelines. (April, the EMG-Zine submissions page is next on my list of things to tackle here!)

    I am open for submissions for two weeks starting in two days! August 15-Sept 1, I will be accepting work again. I doubt I will be in the mood to give extensions at the end of this one. :P http://ellenmilliongraphics.com/fantasyart/artists.php

    Next theme for EMG-Zine is 'leaves.' http://emg-zine.com/guidelinest.php

    The first calendars MAY be in. I've gotten two missed deliveries, and I'm hoping the third one will be signed for at my sister's house, or that I can pick it up at UPS tonight when I get my farm share. *crossing fingers* I am slightly befuddled that I have not been charged shipping on either batch. I'm not sure what to make of that. Did they decide to extend their free ground shipping to Alaska? Some other oddness? Will I get a nasty surprise in a few weeks? (I'm afeared of the worst after that $700 shipping surprise on Urusla's t-shirts however many years ago.)

    Still wrestling with email. The latest 'huh' is that I sent a message to the head-support guy regarding my continued issues and it was rejected because 'I was not a recognized Dreamhost user.' Um. What? (I did indeed send it from ellenmillion At ellenmilliongraphics.com, which is all properly hosted on dreamhost, and I was accessing it using dreamhost's webmail, so... I dunno. weird.)

    Dance class tonight, which is good and I need it. My poor muscles have alternately atrophied in the cold and carried too much heavy EMG product.

    The leaves are going gold, and are just beginning to flutter down. I figure in a few days, it will be a regular rain, and I will be able to pick cranberries.

    The computer this morning told me: "Your application has had a catastrophic error and must be reinstalled! Please contact customer service!" while working with InDesign.

    I told it to shut up and behave or I'd give it to charity, and rebooting resulted in picture perfect behavior. Good computer. *pets*

    It's been rather like that all day, though - lots of PARTS of things finished, and then little hiccups that make everyone panic and cause a lot of backtracking and restarting, so that the actual completed list of accomplishments? Not so good. I did get a load of laundry done, and 50 some bookmarks... not quite made. Lots of orders... not quite finished. And the first calendar is done and proofed, but the .pdf process resulted in a file size of 1 Gig (!), so I had to redo it in parts and I spent a lot of time tromping around trying to figure out a way to just flatten/rasterize everything so it wasn't such a space hog. I may or may not get it uploaded tonight, but tomorrow is really the last day I can get it to the printer and still get it for the fair.

    At work this afternoon - was going to go to Shakespeare in the park this evening, but it's looking very stormy, so I think we may reschedule for tomorrow!
