I had every intention of posting yesterday, but I have been deep in the design process for the Indy Pride website, which I was really hoping to have a mock done by today, and of course, after being quiet for months, the St. Patrick's Day folks have hit me with a million changes for their site this week, too, which has just taken me in different directions than I really want to go. Anyway, as far as the design process, it has been frustrating because I know what I want to do, but I cannot get the programs to cooperate, which is made all the more annoying when I spent $70 on a new program that isn't working for me yet. So, I'm back to the drawing board, knowing full well that no one is going to give a shit as long as the site is better than it is now, which would take a minor miracle/debacle for it to actually be worse. Ah well...the struggles of an OCD perfectionist... Add all this the continued tribulations with wrapping my mind around the needs of print graphic design vs. web graphic design (very very very different) for The Grande Masquerade stuff I happily volunteered for, well, I'm about creatived out. I think it's time for some reports...
So, Hodgepodge..
Changing Indy's Drinking Establishments One Light Fixture at a Time:
Last Wednesday, Romeo, Barney (Police Officer), and myself headed to Greg's after inbibing at Olly's. Greg's has ridiculously cheap well drinks on Wednesday, so it has become someplace we hit a couple of times a month. For anyone who has never been to Greg's, the decor is industrial with a lot of metal and exposed brick, and separating the darts area from the general walkway (hey, drunk boy, want a dart in your head?) is a hightop bar with stools along one side. Well, last week, the three of us were sitting a this bar, with me on the other side since there were few dart players. All along this bar, were low hanging industrial pendent lights, which on numerous occasions, Romeo has unscrewed the light because it is so harsh and in your face. I don't even know how it started, but Barney and myself, started batting at the lights like they were cat toys, which appearently sent a Douchebag into a tizzie of indignation because "he designed the lights for Greg's" and we must have injured his pride. Long story short, Barney and I mouthed off to him, and he thought he was going to go over to Jerry and get us kicked out of the bar. Really? I've been going to Greg's for over 10 years now, and he was going to get me and a Police Officer kicked out for touching a light? Well, Jerry took our side on the whole thing, and even said if we had any more trouble with the Douchebag, that we should tell him. Ha!
Fast forward to this past Tuesday night. Romeo and I were sitting at the bar at Greg's, and I spyed the Douchebag playing darts. It took me a while, but I noticed something different. The pendant lamps had been replaced by "recessed" lighting in the ceiling. LOL Seriously! The Douchebag was so annoyed with us touching "his" lights that he felt it necessary to change them. I'm doing to chuckle about the for quite some time.
My New Husband: Jon McLaughlin
I was actually looking for a different video yesterday for my poorly updated music club, and I came across Jon's new video for "Beating My Heart," and wowza, I'd always considered him "cute" which is only enhanced by the fact that he is reasonably successful, from Indiana, and still lives in Indiana (with a pesky wife, dammit). Anyway, now that he has finally cut the floppy A&F locks, he is SMOKIN' HOT and destined to be my husband. Sorry, Jeff Raneri...you've been replaced!
