Spam and Fritters!

Journal Entry: Fri Oct 29, 2010, 9:55 PM
You see, I did something today.  Something that I've been meaning to do for a long time.  Something I've been putting off.

I bought a monitor calibrator.  Yep - that's right - I'm finally able to see my works, along with everyone else's the way it's meant to be seen.

And I'm not happy about it.

Thaaaaat's right - my work looks like crap!  It's faded out and icky looking.

Hence:  the spamming of your accounts.  I do apologize - for I will be re-working several of my photos and re-posting them and because they will be looking oh, so fabulous, I'm showing them to you all over again!  Aren't you just bubbling over with excitement?!!

I know I am!  I'm SOOOOO excited to go through my over 400 deviations, take them all back to the drawing board and reprocess them.  Oh yeah - I'm about as happy about it as a lumberjack with a forest to cut down with a broken axe.  Yeah, I'm as happy about it as a dieter eating a giant pile of celery.  I'm as happy as a kid with a pooper scooper in the spring......... you get the idea.........  I'm NOT happy about all the work I've done that is in the crapper and now has to be re-done!!  

argh!  why, oh why, didn't I do this sooner?  Why did I procrastinate for so long?  Why am I so damn stupid??!!

I'm not sure if it's because I was dropped on my head as a child (several times) or if it's because my children have sucked my brains out, or if it's just that I'm suffering from a case of sock folding overload.  (did you know that there are twice as many *&$@*% socks to fold in the winter than there are in the summer?  and not only that - you have to actually FIND them and match them up first!!)  Maybe that's it...... once I'm done matching up a whole load of socks and looking for the missing pieces I'm virtually brain dead.  They should have a challenge like that on Survivor.  All the old moms would kick young people ass..........

Anyways, um.. sorry about that - but back to the spam - I hope that my spam that I am giving out to you isn't as awful as the disgusting canned variety.  If it is, let me know and I'll be sure to fry you up a pan of fritters to go with it.  yuuuuuummmmy!!

It's a little machine that you put on your screen, and the softwear tests your colours and adjusts your monitor to show colour correctly. Pretty slick - but I still should have done it sooner!
