After almost six freaking years, I have FINALLY installed my printer-scanner. It really took that long. To my credit, I tried about a year ago and kept running into problems I didn’t know how to solve. I bought this thing in 2019 in anticipation of moving out of my parent’s house. LAZY. I remember when these things were difficult to install, especially scanners, but I could easily do it back then. This stuff has basically become more plug-n-play since then. I have truly become dumber.

It’s an HP Officejet somethingorother. I don’t even have printer paper lol

I decided on this Sisters image for the first black jacket;

That text will be difficult because it has a little texture to it, I wonder if there’s a way to make a stencil of some sort or a way to transfer the image to the jacket so I can use it as a guide. I always liked that phrase. It’ll be hard not to keep that one for myself.

Edit: I decided on white carbon paper and a small ball point stylus. After looking up ways to transfer drawings onto leather I didn’t really understand most of them (told you I’m not that bright haha) so I thought of that myself. I doubt it’s the best way to do it but all I need is a vague guide to paint on. I’m glad I found that image, it’s the best proportions for that panel on the back of the jacket.

While setting up the printer, I barely did any looking down or bending, and my neck hurt 😞 I don’t know how I’m gonna do anything with that pain. I need to find a solution.

Edit 2: I forgot about the layout marathon I joined! 😓 I think the finished layouts are due on the 29th. It’s food themed. I still don’t know what I’m gonna do. Pizza maybe? Cute shit? Ahhh

Also, Roku remotes suck monkey chunks. They really do. I have two Roku TVs in my apartment. Both remotes have a tendency to just…stop working. That or I have to click four or five times until it responds. Sometimes I just throw it down and wait for it to start working again. It’s so aggravating, I googled “why do Roku remotes suck” and got a lot of people asking the same question, so it’s a common occurrence I guess. I was going to watch something on Discovery+ or Shudder but the remote stopped me dead in my tracks and I had to get back to regular cable lest it stop working altogether. Didn’t want to be stuck without tv. It kept going on and off and saying the internet connection was gone. Goodness. Both TVs do this. Roku needs to listen to its consumers concerns because I’m sure they’ve heard this complaint before.

The batteries in the remote were covered in what I assume were alkaline crystals. I changed them, cleaned it out as best I could, and it worked a little better but was still glitchy as fuck. Batteries die FAST in those.
