being home

So, having not worked on a laptop computer for sometime I totally forgot how nearly impossibe it is to try and get any serious photo-editing work done on one. I'm sitting here looking at the monitor thinking, "is this color correct? Why the heck does this look all pixelated and why can't I get any decent contrast in anything?". I almost feel as though I'm working in 24k color. Needless to say this is kinda poising a significant problem as I had originally intended to get some real work done while at home (Read: fix this website) but now every time I boot up Photoshop I just get disgusted and opt to watch MTV.

As this realization has begun to dawn on me, so has the fact that I overestimated how much time I should spend in the states by about three weeks. I'm now desperatly trying to book a flight out after new years. Screw getting new pages in the passport, the plane is to play dumb, let them stamp the backpage a few more times and deal with it at the embassy. Cross my fingers.
