public service announcement - if anyone's had a shitter of a time with the photoshop crop tool giving you a 1x1 pixel instead of your crop selection, here is the fix:

• Crop tool not working in photoshop cs3? - Yahoo! Answers

somehow, 1x1 finds its way into your tool preset. seriously, double-you tee eff.

thank you, google search & yahoo answers.

finally... headers!

I am excited. :) Five months ago, I couldn't go for a header without it turning into a face-er. Many squashed noses and grazed eyelids later, I am now the proud owner of a bony forehead able to header the ball in an intended direction. Yay!

This season, I also scored 3 goals, suffered 3 (or 4?) ankle sprains (same foot), spent 6 weeks not playing because of a sore knee, and sat in a bubbly warm spa once to recover from a sore bum. I can also run a full 90-min game - still get fricken tired, but not as bad as before.

Looking forward to the next football season - not looking forward to being cold and rained on again, but oh well. Would like to learn more teamplay next time around - formations, plays, backpassing, triangles and the one-two trick. All in good time eh. :)

why have we been so quiet lately?

Someone remarked that I've been a little quiet lately.

I won't lie, I've noticed it myself too; felt it.

One day, a calm wandered in and hung around since. That's not to say life has been perfect - just that at the moment, the bumps are bearable, the hassles manageable, and for now, the world may be getting a slightly soothed version of moi.

Accompanying this too is sleepyness, though. Is anyone else feeling it? Slightly on the dehydrated side despite drinking, maybe a little sinus-heavy or blurry eyed? Maybe this isn't calm at all, but the slow boil of hayfever, meandering in through wind and rain.

Stumbled upon some interesting webthings lately - have a look if you fancy:

• A Squirrel's Guide to Fashion - this makes the 1940's look well wicked
• Helvetireader - a minimal Helvetica-powered skin for Google Reader
• 6 Personality & Work Environment Types - I like to think that as we get on, we get to know each of these types within ourselves
• Love and Aloneness - bit airy-fairy to me, but raises interesting points about pride
• Teriyaki Chicken Recipe - so easy, I couldn't believe it. The key is ginger, sugar & soy!
• Finally, How to be a Lady - seems that it's not about being oppressed after all; just being a decent person who's not a dick

Oi, it's bedtime. Good night.

an incomplete blog text

went for a 3km-ish run yesterday in the cold & rain. whoops. woke up this morning with the sorest legs in the world. it's a good, crispy thigh, steely buttock pain, though - the agony of tenacity and results. yeah.

incredibly tired tonight. had a football game on this arvo, then a friend's 30th at the inglewood, then an epic nap, which has left me foggy, rundown and in the mood to be befuddled by derren brown's silly shit.

i had more to say... ish. but i'm actually quite frickin' tired and would like to go to bed now. good night.

Gentle bier
