I should be working

but the tour is on.

I can now sit and watch the tour and work on my laptop.  Last night I started to figure out GIMP, the photoshop of Ubuntu.  I was working with a picture of gingerbear and this is what I ended up with.

It’s not perfect – you can see where the dodging starts and stops on the jeans etc, but I did adjust the colours and make them more “ginger-esque”.  More time and I’ll get better.

I’ve got a serious amount of school to work on – big conference in a few weeks and I need to get my data together.  Monday is the deadline for a top secret application that could completely change everything. I need to work on it, but it is so much nicer to knit and watch TV or sleep.

We’re 2 stages away from the end of the tour and I still have no-one to cheer for.  I started the tour hoping someone would make me want them to win but I’m still just watching for the purpose of watching. The time trial tomorrow morning may change things, but what person chooses a favourite on the last real stage (the final stage is traditionally a parade stage for the overall contenders, with a few years as exceptions).

Oh well, gotta go figure out what to feed D for dinner. I have no idea beyond that I’m hungry.
