We interrupt our regularly scheduled posting...

I'm in the middle of a long and fairly self-indulgent post about nostalgia but I had to stop writing because a friend just came over and installed an older but perfectly legal copy of PHOTOSHOP (Elements, but still - it's Photoshop!) on my computer! And, once I've gotten my feet wet, he's got a copy of the full version I can have!

Squeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Up until now I've been doing all my post-processing on Picasa - a freebie download from Google. It's fine for what it is, quite good actually, but it's incredibly limited when it comes to more serious messing around photographic needs. There have been so many times that I wanted to change this or play with that or do this that or the other thing, knowing it would really enhance my photos, only to discover, again, that Picasa couldn't do whatever it was that I was looking to do.

I CANNOT WAIT to get my grubby little paws, and my photos, in there and start playing around.

Squeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Oh wait, I said that already. Nevermind.

Anyway, stay tuned, who knows where this madness will take me.

Yippee!!! *Robin runs around the room like a crazy person*

PS Apparently somewhat sour but very fresh red grapefruits can leave a taste remarkably similar to cloves in your mouth. Who knew.

PPS For those following along, the fire in the flat downstairs apparently started because they forgot a pot on the stove. Good thing their mistake didn't get anyone hurt.
