Lazyness + Dying computer + no photoshop =

Thu Oct 22, 2009, 10:07 PM
= Why I haven't done anything/finished anything in ages.

So last journal entry I made was last December...so 10 months ago. At that time I declared how I had a whole lot of pictures to finish...I had a touch of lazyitus. Anyhoo...I started to get over it but then I ran into some problems:

- My computer was getting slower and slower and seemed constantly clogged up. It also seemed to be irreversably virus damaged right to the core.

- Everytime I went to use photoshop I would only get a certain amount of minutes to work on my art before it jammed and choked up, photoshop was using to much of its memory/processing power apparently. So my p/s work groung to a halt.

- By April I really could do no more with my computer and bought a new one *empties out pockets*

- So here I have a spangly new computer...but for some absurd reason I cannot get photoshop to work again. I tried installing several times. Anyway after much attempts with that...I finally gave up.

- And now for the last lot of months I've been sitting here like a wally with a computer full of unfinished pictures and no way of working on them.

So as you can see it hasn't been a great year for me artistically. And I do like to do all my work on photoshop. I'm not really in the mood to go splashing out on a new photoshop. I hate that it always costs so much. Actually my dad has a PC version in the school he works in and no one has ever used it and he says I could have it. But he needs a code for it, aside from the serial number which is on the box, a code specific to the purchaser...but can he remember were he put the documentation with the code on it? No.
