A quick blog:
It has to be quick, because I'm in the expesive place in Islington, and I just wasted five minutes write rude replies to the last spammer I got.
Basically here is the news:
This week I have been moved from the Tenth Circle of Hell, otherwise known as Court 2 (the ninth Circle of Hell being the Silverlink Train Service from Stratford to Highbury Corner). They've moved me to Court Three, which is actually more my pace: less crazy and people tend to be where they are supposed to be.
I also had a much more relaxed DJ today: a fortyish Jewish woman who apparently only DDJs a couple of days a week to supplement her Solicitors wage. And a pretty good Clerk as well.
A couple of oddball cases went through the court, but nothing I haven't seen before: crackheads, hooligans and violent boyfriends tormenting their spouses.
I made it to my lifedrawing class for the first time in Three Weeks. I used the charcoal available and came up with some interesting results.
But the most interesting news comes from what I did on Saturday Night.
I mentioned that I had printed out a new Logo for the club night Strength Through Joy ( www.strenghtthroughjoy.org ) and wsa going to give it to Chris and Lydia, who run the show there.
I did, and they loved it. As in serious open mouth impressed. They asked for an electronic version, which I told them I could supply, but first I needed to tweak a few things.
Chris told me to Email it to him using the address on the website.
Here's the problem: Hotmail has decided that it refuses to let me email an image file over the net unless the source site it defined. Since I was doing it from a PC and not from something like Photobucket or Flickr, that couldn't be done.
Screw it. I'll just burn it onto a CD an pass it over when I can.
Anyway, it felt really nice to be a designer again, even if it was just playing to my strengths (no play on words intended) in terms of designing bold, clean and brutal logotypes as opposed to the distressed look currently popular or the 19th Century look I aspire to.
In any case, I have to bail.
Over and out.
