Insomnia and insanity have arrived.

April's asleep in the other room, ready to wake up in about six hours to help set up for today's roller derby bout. I'm in here making 3D wire maps of her face (you know, just in case she's mauled by bears) with Illustrator. I'd been without Photoshop and Illustrator for a little over a year....ever since I upgraded to Tiger on my computer. They always hung up on opening while trying to access web updates. I deleted and reinstalled to no avail. Finally someone gave me the tip to just unhook my computer from the internet while starting them, and change the settings so that they don't automatically try to access the internet for updates that aren't there.

Worked like a charm.

Needless to say, I'm very glad to have them back. I was a little rusty with both programs, but I'm starting to remember what I knew and learning a few new tricks as I delve into them further.
