The books should prove interesting. One of them is called Adobe Photoshop CS3 for Photographers: A Professional Image Editor's Guide to the Creative use of Photoshop for the Macintosh and PC. This title is enough to make me salivate. First of all, it's Photoshop CS3. Three. I've been using version nine for years, and using a version that wasn't designed for Windows 98 and Mac OS 8 pleases me deeply. Secondly, the book has the word "guide" in the title, which suggests that it's deliciously helpful. When I hear "guide" I think of those 1930's American archaeologists that you see in movies like Indiana Jones and the Fifth Element (in the first part), the kind that wear the white adventurer's shirt, complete with those pants that have bulgy pockets and a pith helmet.
It's pleasing in a simple, wish-I-was-nine-years-old, "Indy, they're digging in the wrong place!" sort of way. According to the Amazon reviews, the book is some 680 pages long, which means this is a purchasethat Mom is making that is sure to stay with me for a while.
I just hope I don't have any classes with Rob Lovegreen. Fortunately I think he got a freaking hint over the course of Graphic Design class when he stopped talking to me. I was only giving him the cold shoulder for half the semester.
In Animal Crossing news, I've finally reached Platinum Member status with that criminal Tom Nook. This means absolutely nothing, but if there were an Xbox 360 achievement for doing it, I would have myself something like 50 gamerpoints.

Nice description on the Photoshop book, too. I always loved getting my shiny new schoolbooks. Except some of them were total crap. XD
