Today I learned that I tense up my tounge (the...
(not everyone, just Mareen) I LOLed.
Here is someone not painting the perfect picture...
The past week has been pretty destructive, or maybe it was myself within the past week. So this rainy windy night, I had parked in the absolute center of the city at a busy intersection, and just as I left my parking spot, my car’s left side above the front wheel got hit by an Audi A3. The girl driving that car was about to switch lanes and looked the other way while she was went straight...
Wow, some of the stuff my last.fm's neighbors...
I wish that when I hear a song that I like, I could listen to the whole album of that one band if I wanted. I’d pay a montly fee if I could listen to anything at any time in any order I like. Also a list on the left with “bookmarked” bands/albums/songs where I could drag and drop would be great. Thanks for the feedback after I posted this, Jens. Yay.
Effing Gmail, both accounts.
Please work (without a 15-hr delay) so I can work! This is the week of broken stuff, camera, inbox… Oh and Canon only took one day to send a repair estimate for my camera insurance — of course I didn’t find out about this until a day later, Gmail.
There is nothing wrong with me.
I have one large couch, two soft chairs (with one automan — ottoman duh), an office chair, a small chair (Jenny pick it up already!) and eight wooden chairs in my one-woman studio.
Will I be disallowed the (not yet fully earned)...
Today I used Adobe Acrobat to make some presentation’s page layout by dragging the photos into the program and then using built-in functions like “add footer” and “add background color” to get the necessary written info in there. Could I get any lazier? Probably not. Update: Acrobat has some bugs and reproduces or loops errors when I do what I need to do. I am using...

Even though I think my face has aged two years...
So glad I started. Only about 30% left.
Procrastination
I am totally delaying some work I have to do sooner or later (it is already wayyy later). It is not pleasant, stupid unphoto stuff, and therefore I do other things that I can find. Oh, no motivation. This has never worked. Ok, I am working on it now.
Is anyone else's Google Apps (Email) acting really...
I get emails up to a day late (so inconvenient), IMAP does not synchronize right, mails or their attachments do not load until I explicitly ask them to do so and every action takes forever (deleting, moving, starring, unspammarking)? This is the same in the browser as in Mail (on Tiger). My account is only 37% full. Sometimes mail alerts me with a yield-exclamation sign telling me that the account...

“Wait, Mareen is an actual, existing name?”
– No shit. Apparently right now there is a movie on national television where a child has my name. People call and write about it, haha.
To make something look like one effortless...
can cost thousands of dollars. Especially if the scene/place does not exist in reality. Spending money on buying and putting together props, models’ fees, pick-up time, assistants, an architect’s work, photography and of course my further photoshopping efforts for days. It is so hard to take a fresh look at it again and again while I fake the scene to see if I can fool myself. I...
Isn't anyone else working today?
From the little activity I see on Tumblr and Adium, I get a feeling similar to loneliness.
I don't think I am paying for a gym membership to...

“You’ve only been using $75 worth of Photoshop. This is gonna get you up to...”
– Donnie Hoyle about Eraser vs. Path Tool in “You Suck at Photoshop” v4 (see videos here).
I'm going to tell Canon that their 1DsM2 is gay.
It clearly was not designed for photographers. (You always need two hands to navigate the back + hold the camera with both hands at the same time etc.) I am so glad I got to use the 5D for 1.5 years (and the 1DsM2 only sometimes when I told myself I needed larger files). Comparing two of the same photos shot with both, today I would clearly take the image and handling of the 5D. If only the new...
