done doing, now thinking

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

i made like, 80 PNGs today. oh how i wish i had a junior designer to do such things. even when i had one, i didn’t subject her to such treachery and potential repetitive stress disorder. or maybe i did and i just don’t remember.

anyway, if i had one now, i would totally be cracking the whip, WHOP-CHING! anyone know anyone looking?

is it just me, or does the itunes radio stream for indie 103.1 play the same station promo over and over and over again? i’m letting it kinda coast in the background of my day, but i keep hearing the same snippet that’s all “music is my boyfriend! music is my girlfriend!” i’m not entirely conviced that they are playing any music whatsoever.

a car update

so in the end, i had a broken bearing in my transmission. grand total to replace, $2,242. i had actuallly mentally prepared myself to pay upwards of $4,000 to replace the whole transmission, so this is actually a bit of a relief.
