Wading through the Fathers' Day
Jun. 15th, 2008 01:07 pmWell, it's a not-so-quiet weekend here. At the moment, I'm sitting in one of the Bridgehead coffeehouses - fair-trade tea and coffee and free wi-fi access being among their many trademarks, more about that later - and trying to cobble together the 2008 Ashcan Sampler for that Ottawa Small Press Book Fair next weekend. I can't claim to be the world's best desktop publishing layout specialist by any means, but I have tools enough at hand to make a decent go of it.
I do wish Corel would return to making CorelDRAW for the Mac, though. Version 11's fine, but some day I will hit a wall that I can't climb with it. (Or I could start fiddling with Inkscape in earnest, I suppose.)
I wanted to watch The Quality of Life, the new Dominic Da Vinci movie starring Nicholas Campbell as Da Vinci, last night. Damn the luck that saw my part of east Ottawa suffer a blackout from 8 to 11 PM EST. Just long enough to ensure that I watched not a second of that movie. Hoping that CBC reruns it soon, or that Haddock Entertainment gets the DVD into stores even sooner.
I still miss my Dad.
Those of you who still have yours? Enjoy'em while you've got'em.
