foxmonkeyI was up til midnight the other night, yet when I woke up, *KABOOM!* JC club show! You west coast people are going to have to stop doing things after I go to bed. It's completely not fair.
JC! At the HOB! And I can't be there. I'm woman enough to admit that I got a little misty (no actual tears formed, but yeah.) when I realized that it was happening for real and true (I hope). I hope this isn't a one-shot. I've got my fingers crossed extra tight. I can barely type.
Added to that we've got the mystery of 'Some Girls' disappearing from the AOL lineup, but appearing on MTV.com's video roster (audio only at this point, no vid), with an even more tantalizing line about a "special" on 11/04/03 - which has come and gone, still. That was also the original date for the AOL First Look thing, correct? So what the hell is going on? Oh, to be a fly on (several) walls.
And now it looks as though there's going to be (might be, show me a virgin to sacrifice to make it so) a "Making the Video" after all for Mr. Chasez. Seen by me in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I'm going to squee now and continue to hope for the good.
And! I now have Photoshop courtesy of a kindly soul ::waves!:: and I poked around a bit with it yesterday. It's light years more involved than Paintshop 4 (yes, PSP4! feel free to laugh at me), but looks a bit more intuitive than CorelDraw, thank the Lord. I futzed around a bit with it yesterday, but just simple stuff. I even had both up for a while there, learning new tricks in PS, but running back to PSP to do quickly the things I already knew how to do. New toys, man. Does it get better than this? :-)
Along those lines, I had tons to do yesterday, and stopped at the thrift store. Triple word score! Bought an issue of Communication Arts Illustration Annual 41 for 85 cents, cover price: sixteen dollars. Yes, I rule.
*Filled* with gorgeous stuff. It's an absolute visual treat. There are several others from past years available on the website, including a package deal for the '96, '97, and '99 issues for twenty-four bucks, rather than sixteen per as the others are. Must. Have. Pretty.
Is there a community specifically for popslash-oriented graphic...what are we. Designers? Artists? Both? :-) If not, there should be. And I may or may not be looking in a particular direction, but you can't prove it. ;-)
And now I'm off to see what's shakin' in this world of mine. It's a beautiful day, even if it's a million degrees below zero. Or 32 degrees, whichever the truth might be.
JC!

Is there a community specifically for popslash-oriented graphic...what are we.
I may not be the direction you were looking toward, but

Date: 2003-11-09 08:29 am (UTC)ROFL! Part of me is sad to see it gone, specifically, the part of me that never got to properly peruse the HUNDREDS of fonts included with the program. God, that still makes me cry. But Jeebus! That has to be the most ridiculous program *ever*. At least with Photoshop I was able to actually *do* something my first time out. I'm very excited. :-D
I may not be the direction you were looking toward, but dirrtypopart might be what you have in mind :D
Thanks for the link! Hmmm, I checked it out and it's not quite what I had in mind. I'm thinking more of a community geared more toward production of the graphics themselves, and would cover all aspects of production. Different programs, where to find pics, font sites, tips and tricks...everything. Anything.
I'm thinking a popslash-oriented one would be fun because if you wanted show-and-tell advice on how to better blend Justin's hand onto JC's hip, you wouldn't have to waste time with disclaimers for those "outside" our freaky little community. ;-)

Date: 2003-11-09 08:30 am (UTC)And, I like the idea of the community you're talking about. My Photoshop skillz are declining by the minute as I don't use them for work all the time. I'd love to see tutorials and the like.

Date: 2003-11-09 08:48 am (UTC)Man, I lost the disks shortly after discovering the font goldmine hidden within. I loaned them to a co-worker (I'm still banging my head on my desk), and I haven't seen them since. She's looked for them a couple of times, at my request. She's got a couple of inquisitive toddlers, and I have a feeling the disks are buried in her backyard somewhere. ::le sigh::

Squee! So if I set this up, will you help me with the LJ parts of it, kinda like the way you usually know the answers when I whine about LJ-related-community-related crapola? ::big anime eyes::

Date: 2003-11-09 08:36 am (UTC)Although my graphic skills are not good, I'd love to have some kind of pop graphic community available for help and advice. And it would be nice to have a specifically popslash one so I don't have to explain *why* I want tips on photomanipping JC into a pink sundress.
no subject
Date: 2003-11-09 08:43 am (UTC)Exactly! Yes! And excuse me for a minute while I laugh...
Poor, broken JC and his pink sundress. He remains sparkly, even after the Apocalypse. How can you not love him? ;-)
I've got a ton of LJ codes, and an itchy trigger finger. Eeep!

Date: 2003-11-09 09:36 am (UTC)And I already have some dresses saved, like this one, which I took the scarf from for the Live from the Apopalypse pic, and these various pinkish sundresses.
