This past summer one of my trailer-mates introduced me to old musicals, the other black and white movies. Now I have a confession to make, one that hurts because I was so very against it. Faith, you’re gonna love this. All weekend I have been watching one show while I have been doing my projects. It stars this man
Raymond Burr
He’s not particularly good looking but he is really good at solving cases as well as being a great lawyer. I don’t understand why Perry Mason can solve 100% of his cases better than Lt. Tragg (homicide detective). Anyways no one my age probably knows this show. But everything is better in black and white, more mysterious, more interesting. Plus the music….man it’s predictable, loud, and dramatic….it’s great. I wonder why actors don’t act as dramatic as they did back then. Yes, it’s ridiculously not how real people act, but it gets it point across better and more entertaining. I love it.
Random side note. I love sayings like “I’m happier than a month full of Sundays.”
Lesson for the weekend
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS save your work every 5 mins. Before you import a photo….BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING…Clearly I made the rookie mistake again for the millionth time. I had worked for a good 3-4 hours on my map and my computer went haywire and shut down, setting my work back that three hours with no way to recover. I know, I don’t know why I went that long without saving probably because I kept working. But the map is back to where it used to be so it’s all good.
I think it’s coming out….Maps are really really really hard work though….I still have to make a back. AHHHH
So this still has a lot of work to do but it’s the front color of my book cover. I like it I think.
I have also did a photography session last week and here are some of the pictures I have edited.
Oh man, this week has started off being really great, and I know it will end being just as if not more. This week I’ve been staying with my really good friend and her family. Yesterday I got a job for the winter holiday season, and this weekend I get to drive down to Illinois to visit one of my best friends, Mykahla! I’m really happy right now God is so good, every time I feel like things are going downhill God steps in. He is powerful and mighty, and I’m glad he’s on my side and is there for me.
Lately I’ve been thinking about Greece,…lately, a lot whatever the terms you would like to use. Anyways I made this as a constant reminder. Feel free to take it if you are as in love with that country as I am.
Someone asked me why I need to pray for Greece, I was astounded that they didn’t know how they are doing over there, then I realized that it makes sense. Greece isn’t in the news very much and it’s not exactly close enough for people to just hear about it. I of course went into a lot of detail while I was telling them about Greece. Pray for Greece. They need our prayers. It isn’t a country just full of vacation destinations, it is a country full of prideful, lovely people that love their country even though it’s getting tough to live there.
