All practice and no play....

Makes Caro an antisocial girl.

So, I've been working on a Photoshop project for the past couple of days that I brainstormed when I was going up to Disney last weekend. Its for a Bday gift, so here's hoping I can get it done in the next few weeks. Its rather time consuming, since I'm line tracing a bunch of pictures. My sis's boyfriend is an expert professional at this stuff, and what took him 7 minutes took me...oh, I don't know...an hour and a half? And it didn't come out as good for two reasons. 1) I'm new at this - gimme a break. 2) I don't have the preset brush he does (the price you pay for CS versus CS3).

So, here's my first attempt:



















Say what you will, I don't think I did too shabby of a job. All I know is that inking is hard...but I hope to make it a hobby of mine at some point.

Anywhoo...tomorrow I'm running my first 10k. Boy am I noivous! Its not so much that I can't finish...its that if Nick's father...who is 60 something, beats me, I will be devastated. I keep cramping up these past couple of days...and I seem to be pre-pmsing again...even though, it shouldn't be that time. Too much info? Sorry.

Lets hope that I can finish at a decent time tomorrow.
After the race, I'll go back to my sister's to rest for a bit, and then I head out at 4:30 to shadow some people that are going to shoot some documentaries in the Miami art scene. Its my new side job. Working with two filmmakers in the infancy of a project they're doing. More info to come later.

Alas, I'm going to update my ipod playlist and head to bed. Gotta be up at 5 am to get to Miami by 6:45am. Yikes!

Wish me luck!
