I got a call from my boss at my last job this morning, and it turns out the other designer there put in his two weeks notice on Friday, so now she wants me to come back! I won't be going back until after he leaves, and it might only be 25-30 hours each week … [Read more…]
What a fun night! Dinner with friends. (Okay, the food sucked, but the friends part was good!) Went to see Spamalot (Funniest. Play. Ever.) Now I’m home and my Tivo has dutifully recorded My Name Is Earl and The Office for me, which I will now watch before settling into bed and doing a little … [Read more…]
Yes, those are most definitely snow flakes fluttering about outside my window. I'm really not sure I'm ready for winter just yet, but I don't appear to have much choice in the matter. I really need to get out and buy some warmer winter clothes soon, most of my cold weather gear just doesn't fit … [Read more…]
I'm not going to go stir crazy! I'm doing what I can to keep myself busy while I'm between jobs. I went into work today to get my (possibly/probably) final timesheet signed and clean out my desk. Also copied some work that I want to keep for my portfolio off my system there. I don't … [Read more…]
Well, I finally got around to recording a new mix! It’s been a few months, so it’s naturally a little rough around the edges, but at least I got something recorded. It’s kind of symbolic of the transition from summer to fall that we’re in the midst of right now. It starts off pretty hot … [Read more…]
I noticed today that I was able to tighten my belt up another notch today. Thing is, my weight has pretty much stabilized. That means the modifications to my diet must be working, as my waist is still shrinking while my weight isn't! (Mostly, I switched to whole grain breads, pasta, etc. and upped my … [Read more…]
If it weren't for the fact that every single aspect of my company's technology migration had gone wrong every step of the way, I might think I was suffering from the bad technology mojo today. In particular, the shared server that we store all our project files is running a whole new kind of slow … [Read more…]
Nothing like having to have a stack of 12′ x 6′ vinyl banners re-printed because of a typo. Doh! Ah well, they did go through a proofreader before being sent to the printer, so it’s not all my fault. I don’t get to see the invoices, so I wonder how much that little err just … [Read more…]
It's cold, it's dark… who wants to get out of bed? I had to break out my winter robe for the first time this morning, so there's a good sign that summer is over. Strangely, I'm not that upset by it. I'm ready for a change of season, I'm actually kinda looking forward to winter. … [Read more…]
I’ve been endeavoring to practice a bit on my guitar each night in an effort to get my old skills back in shape, and I’ve found I can still play all the things I used to I just can’t play them as cleanly. I’m a bit sloppy and my timing isn’t always so hot either. … [Read more…]
I’m happy to report that I finally got my guitar gear hooked back up last night! I also stopped and got some new strings, which were desperately needed. I decided to experiment a little and buy some heavy-gauge strings so I can play around with a lower tuning, in this case I’ve tuned down to … [Read more…]
In addition to my recent habit of sleeping in later than normal, I realized another bit of winter-like behavior for me tonight. Usually in the summer I tend to listen to lighter music, and break out the hard stuff during the winter. But, the last few weeks I've been listening to a lot of heavy … [Read more…]
The last couple of weeks I've been sleeping later than normal during the week. Not a lot, but it's been pretty consistent. I usually shoot for 6am, which gives me enough time to be able to relax and take the morning slow. Eat breakfast, read the paper a little, do a crossword or word search, … [Read more…]
1. A roof is over my head and food is in my belly. 2. I have a great family that I know I can rely on. 3. I have small but wonderful group of friends that I also know I can rely on. 4. Someone pays me to be creative all day. 5. I am … [Read more…]
