			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I need to start this post off with a rant about the stability of Illustrator CS2 running in Rosetta on an Intel Mac.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s horrid. Absolutely horrid. It&#8217;s the only program which seems to consistently crash on my computer, which is saying something! It crashes almost silently sometimes, which is nice since I could be reading something, finish reading, go to do something in Illustrator, only to discover that it has crashed. On one hand &#8220;thanks for not making a scene, buddy&#8221;, on the other: &#8220;I didn&#8217;t save, you prick.&#8221;</p>
<p>The love-hate relationship with Illustrator can&#8217;t be avoided and despite my ambivalence I find myself returning to its warm and tender embrace; <em>*I&#8217;m imagining some kind of image involving the curve or spiral tool making a path that wraps around my neck*</em>.</p>
<div style="float:right; margin: 10px 0 10px 10px;"><a title="tentacles" href="/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/cardboardbox.jpg"><img alt="tentacles" src="/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/cardboardbox.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></div>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure if this is portfolio-worthy, but I&#8217;m going to add it as a super-awesome <em>blog-only</em> wallpaper (and deviantArt, since I somehow feel the need to upload there). <strong>Behold the tentacle-filled box!</strong> It <em>was</em> a concept for an assignment which I have yet to complete (will be up when finished), however I came to realize it would be impractical for the assignment so went for a &#8220;flashier&#8221; style.</p>
