Mosaic Minds, revisited.
Sep. 14th, 2005 09:32 pmI proudly present to you the most recent issue of Mosaic Minds! The theme this time is "Just a Little".. enjoy! (I love love love the masthead, created by Secret Agent Josephine.)
This has been, by far, the least stressful Mosaic Minds experience of our almost-two-year history. I don't think it shows on the outside, but we often have a bit of a panic over something on the day or two preceding an issue launch.. something is always missing. Everything is in this time, and it took me a completely acceptable amount of time to get it all taken care of. It can take me all day if I'm not in the mood for it, but I bet this issue has taken up maybe four hours of web work. That's SIX hours less than the time I logged it. If it still took ten hours with the whole job thing, I can't say for sure I'd still be doing it. But when it goes off like this, I am just so proud of everyone and excited about the whole thing. Although I wouldn't have
carrieb's job for the world. I think some feel the same about mine, though, so I guess we're even. :)
Other than that, nothing much happening chez yayer. M's music selection is passable tonight, for once. He claims it's random but I think he has a secret setting that plays crap when he's annoyed with me for something. I wouldn't put it past him.
I sent M an email yesterday and added a P.S. of "Jag hatar havet* (or, it could be worse.)" It made me smile with nostalgia because that was about the fourth sentence that M taught me, as it was something that we said quite a bit at the time. My point was, of course, that no matter what kind of a bad day you're having (well, as long as it's a bad day and not something tragic) it could be worse.. we could be on different continents still. That's a particular level of suckage that I wouldn't wish on anyone. And suckage it was, but still, we had a few things that were really, really cute that I would miss if it wasn't for the horribleness of the rest of it.
*(I hate the ocean.)
