I just had a great time out at La Barca with the Admission Staff.  The USC Admission Staff.  Not the counselors, although I love them because they let Robbie in, but the interns.  The kids.  The cool people. Good times.  Realized that funny stuff occurs in the office.  That really funny stuff occurs.  That as…

Today was the final day of my internship at the James G. Elliott Company.  I learned skills in both Quark and Photoshop – two separate design programs.  I learned that magazine creation is really not as glamorous as it appears.  I learned how to most effectively navigate downtown during peak traffic hours. Important stuff for…

Woke up this morning to my alarm at 7:15. Saw my published classified ad layout in The Rotarian. Lost my third auction for a new camera on eBay. Received a "Happy Spring, Can’t wait to work with you" care-package from Target. Watched the Seniors celebrate their last dinner.  Realized I cannot graduate early. Need to…

Michelle told me about this strip.  Had to laugh.  And then sigh at how true it has become…

Both me and the computer are sick.  I do not know who I care more about.  My throat hurts, my nose runs and my head aches.  And it is not good news.  I have so much to do this weekend…and next week that I cannot afford this. I also cannot afford a new computer so…

Today I increased mine.  As in, I opened my eyes a bit wider.  Went to a screening of Invisible Children.  Cliffnotes: There is a war in Uganda.  Children are abducted from their homes and forced to become soldiers.  It is their story. It was difficult to watch.  The filmmaker said it in the beginning: "People…

The weekly five.  It has been awhile.  Julian Beever’s artwork.  Makes me want chalk…& talent. Kleenex Puffs with Lotion.  I have ridiculous allergies right now.  Without these, I might not have a nose anymore. Sugar-Free Hot Chocolate. This website…and the flip flops on it. These pens by PaperMate.  My finals flashcards just got exciting:

One of the blogs that I read posed the question: "What inspires you?  In your life?  In your day?  In your art?" I freeflowed.  And got this: Life: I want to understand things. I want to be knowledgeable. I want to connect ideas and determine why things do or do not make sense. I am inspired by stuff that…

Barely. I am trying this new thing called "Do Not Take a Nap."  It is part of my End Morning Insomnia Campaign.  I might be hiring guest speakers.  Like my fabulous roommates who are able to sleep until 10 or 11am.  I stare at them in wonderment every day.  I turn off their alarms for…

People tell me that the blog is "so happy and upbeat."  I have been thinking about this a lot.  Trying to determine why that is true. I have a couple theories. First, there is the obvious: These past couple months I have generally been happy and upbeat.  I do not have too much to complain…
