The Stats

1/2: the thickness of the good prints folded in half for my portfolio

1: brand new Epson 1280 printer, now christened Firebolt
- package of 13"x19" of Epson Enhanced Matte Paper
- sheet of completely usuable paper because it has a DOT on it
- crazy dance around the apartment to the theme of 'Ghostbusters'
- heart attack when Firebolt decided it didn't want to print anymore
- enraged, stressed out threat of, "PRINT YOU BLOODY DAMN HUNK OF METAL AND PLASTIC OR ELSE I'LL DROP KICK YOU OFF THE BALCONY!"
- pose of submission from the printer

2: pieces of paper left from a package of fifty
- pieces of matte board that is needed to be cut into the shape of the covers
- yards of blue fabric for the cover
- cartidges of ink that the Firebolt happily ate up

4: times that I needed to reprint the title page

18: completely unusable prints

24: correct, usable, glorious prints
- sheets of paper that needs to be cut and made into a book

50: amount of paper that was inside the package
- times I wanted to kill Illustrator or Photoshop or my printer or my laptop or all of them

Countless: the amount of hair I lost. It's amazing I'm not bald. o_o

I know you are stressing, but you are making me nostalgic ( I just cant spell that)

The worst day of my life is when i realized that my 1550 cost me about $5 a print and I threw half of the prints away for some reason. Another bad day is when my computer stopped printing 2 days before finals and I had to spend 3 hours to find the mystery clog.

Keep going. almost done!

Really? You spelled it correctly though! XD Hahahaha, yeah, I'm sure when it's all over and done, I'll also be looking back at my hair-tearing moments and consider them to be the 'good ol' days!'

I'm almost done! I just have to make the slip cover for the book!! I'll take pics of it :D
