Running Behind.

While I don't know how many people really read this, I've been uncharacteristically quiet here lately -- Mea culpa. I've been tied up in a project over at LiveJournal -- Two Ingredients, a food-challenge community. (My co-moderator came up with the idea, and I just couldn't say no. I've been taking the odd weeks, which strikes me as appropriate.)

There've been some really interesting things to come out of that place, so far.
Also, I'm amused that my typically assigned ingredients seem to be a main ingredient and a spice: Fish and capers. Tomatoes and thyme. Chocolate and garlic.
... All right, I'm kidding with the last one, though I keep threatening to actually do it. ;)

I'm also currently trying to mock up our journal icon, since I already have the perfect image... Now, I just need a line drawing of a chef hat or a spoon, and the thing can go up.
GimpShop is nice and mostly works for what I need, but I kind of miss my student copy of Photoshop: I knew exactly how to get what I wanted from Photoshop, right down to the filters. Darn you, Adobe, why do you have to be so freakin' expensive?

Anyway! Point is, there's been a lot of food over the past month, and I suspect I'll be back-dating some of the recipes and the like, as well as more knitting talk. I still haven't really posted anything about my No Sheep Swap experience with pictures, and I would still really like to -- so, that'll be going up, too.
(Not to mention the stuff that came with a recent-ish Etsy purchase from one of my downstream No Sheep buddies. Seriously, there was some REALLY cool stuff that came out of that package!)

Side note: I'm also contemplating a move for this journal to Wordpress, since I get the feeling I may be a little too dependent on Six Apart for my blogging needs. Alternately, some folk I know on LJ seem to be dual-posting from their Wordpress journals... So when I'm feeling a little less technologically lazy, I think I may look at trying to link this journal in that way. Wish me luck!
