And don't forget the joker

( Dog pics! )

I'm a frustrated icon maker right now. I lost Paintshop Pro just when I was working out how to use it, and now I have The Gimp. I have two problems with The Gimp - one is that I can't make head nor tail of it, and two is that last time I tried using it it just... wouldn't do shit. I wanted to blur a bit of the pic. I worked out how to draw a freehand loop round it (which is very hard since I broke my good mouse and have been using the flaky spare that doesn't like to move right) and hit the Blur button. It said it was blurring... it even gave me a little percentage counter - but there was NO BLURRAGE. Most upsetting. I have two Squish icons and a Spooks icon in my brain and no way of squeezing them out. ARGH.

In the meantime, Squish has decided to add "Ace Of Spades" to his playlist, which is why I wanted a musical!Squish icon. Bah.

All aboard for funtime!

Oh joy! Happy fun fireworks again! Oh, I do so enjoy watching my dog shaking like a leaf and trying to fold himself into non-existence every few minutes!

He came and plastered himself to my legs while I was in the bathroom and I gave him some Rescue Remedy. Note to self - don't do that while sitting on toilet. I had the lid off the bottle (because the lid incorporates the useful little dropper-thingy necessary to get the magic juice past his clenched teeth) and spilled about a third of what was left onto the floor, where every animal in the house except the one I wanted to give it to fought to lick it up.

I didn't let them - that stuff's like pure grain alcohol. The last thing I need here is drunk kitten zoomies. The flat's quite trashed enough as it is thanks.

Thank [higher power of your choice] I'm not likely to get any happy little candy-bandits on sugar-highs yowling outside my door tonight. There are advantages to being a mad single cat lady with scary loud dogs in an apartment block full of stoners, drunks and men who look like serial killers. I love this place.
