I love this woman.  Until now, I haven’t found much to be thrilled about with this race.  Because Barak Hussien Obama is a friggin Commie, I was all set to hold my nose and vote McCain.  I don’t *love* McCain, his views don’t always line up with mine.  But Palin.  Now,

Dana Loesch has a great post about what the attacks on Palin mean to feminism.  Love it.

I so have more to say, but frankly life is moving so fast these days.  Spent the evening at GeekBoy’s first soccer practice.  He likes playing goalie.  I’m off to ice my foot and watch the NYGiants beat up the ‘Skins.

I’m working on my mad photo-editing skillz.  I found this great action at CoffeeShop Photography for fixing up eyes.  Even better because it’s free, and saves me the $$ I was considering spending at a different site for essentially the same thing.  Check it out:

Diva Touched up

I forget everything I did here. Definitely a color correction, followed by a basic boost action, the Coffee shop filter, reduce noise, and probably a warming and Vignette.  I did this one yesterday though, so I forget.

Then there’s this one, taken today:

Un-retouched

And again, after I messed with it:

Re-touched

Let’s see - Color correction, Basic Boost (which includes a defog), CoffeeShop’s Powder room (just for the eyes though, I don’t like the way the skil looks “softened), a warming action, a lomo, and finally I ran it through Neat Image to get rid of the noise.

So…. what do you think?
