Ringing in my ears...

I've devoted most of today to web related stuff, with the first of the tasks being to build a prototype booking system for a company I'm doing some work for. Instead of building it from scratch I have been using a programe called Axure - which once I got my head around is actually very good indeed and ideal for creating work quickly with a modecum of interactivity that is sufficent to get the idea across to those lacking even the tiniest bit of a clue.

Once I'd built the mock up I then get on with doing a job I'd been putting off for a while. My company website is in the process of being built and it has a nice flash navigation element to it but the rollovers need to have an associated sound, and so far I've failed to find anything suitable. So I spend another hour or so browsing through the istock audio files and not surprisingly I choose one of the very first ones I'd pick out about 3 weeks ago. At the end of it I felt like I had tinitus since I'd listened to so many bleep and blops and swishes and swooshes. I do hate having too much choice because it takes me longer to make a decision and inevitably I go back to one of the first choices I made - but maybe I'm also broken.

This evening we also get around to watching on of the blu-rays that we'd bought at the weekend, so Drag Me To Hell got whizzed around the disc tray for our enjoyment. I have to say it is very rare that I have openly laughed out loud in the middle of what was suppose to be a horror movie, but the scene with the possessed goat did it for me. Seriously, what where they thinking?!

I've also probably seen more that my fair share of people vomiting into other people's mouths, c'mon it's just not original after the 10th time you subject your audience to it. Meh. Maybe I'm just unscarable.
