Caitlin's Halloween Outfit?

Apparently, someone left a little surprise on the computer on the right side for all B&Gers under Bookmarks > Bookmarks Toolbar > Caitlin's Halloween Outfit. What does our former EIC plan to be on Halloween? Cheesasaurus Rex? Nope. Frat Party Tease? YES.


Caitlin, I definitely approve of this outfit choice. (:

Colour Lovers

I came upon this site. It's got a lot of great color combinations, backgrounds and patterns for webpages/blogs/twitters, and is a great place to submit your own content if you so wish.

Great for working out any design color block. :D

Oh no! Tis the season for high school yearbook mistakes...

"Revealing photo makes high school yearbook"

"All of the administrators are trying to downplay it and saying I should really laugh it off and come back to school but I've been humiliated," said the junior who will not return to school for the rest of the year.

The district says there is a lengthy chain of command when it comes to approving and printing the yearbook - that includes faculty advisors and even an administrator.

Textorizer!

What else would I be doing during finals, except overly using my StumbleUpon button? (: Here's one of the many things that I have StumbledUpon this week. Software that forms pictures out of text!

I'm definitely trying this...after finals of course! ;D Hopefully you all are having an easier time being productive than I am. Good luck with finals.

My graduation announcement, completed!

Gah. These took me forever. I only did 30... but the gluing, cutting, printing, stamping, and numerous trips to Paper-Source consumed most of my time.

I did a little blue & gold color theme... lined the envelopes with the same paper I used for the outside of the card. Used a gold stamp for the inside of the card and outside of the envelope, printed the text on textured off-white paper, navy blue ribbon to keep it closed, used some UCB seals to close the envelope

Many hours over lots of weekends... but finalllllyyyy... I can send them off.

Yay!

My lovely little announcement! :D
