Welp, turns out I'm pretty awful at keeping a blog. So let's recap what's been going on for the past year or so, shall we?

Quit my job at the print shop to go back to school for a year, a 3D animation program. Turns out it was EXACTLY what I needed - time to work on my portfolio, put together a demo reel, and...

I was packed like a sardine into the Metro today when someone let out a particularly sour fart. Man, I thought that only happened in the movies. It was inescapable.

Ever since I named my car and started treating her like a proper lady, we've been getting along tons better. Hardly any stallouts, smoother shifts...it's a beautiful thing.

What's not so awesome is my boss....

Riding home on the bus today I saw a very sad-looking man. Then I looked next to him and saw a very angry-looking man. Then, seated next to the angry man was a very dopey-looking man, who quite frankly, was the most interesting to watch. The air conditioner on the bus was dripping directly onto his crotch, yet he remained complacent. He even refused the...

Eh, some things have been happening I guess. Well, depending on how you look at it.

I bought a car, a Scion tC. Make fun if you want, but she's my new baby. I'm trying to decide on a name - I think I've got it down to either Wynona or Chiana (and serious kudos to anyone who can recognize the reference).

The job is...

Woo! I'm (finally) gainfully employed - I just started a job at a print/design shop downtown, which means I no longer have to rely solely on stupid adults (no, really) for my meager income! Hello, future financial transactions:

-MacBook Pro (my current dell laptop is entering its death throes)
-Rent, glorious rent
-XBox 360, it's about time
-Motorcycle? I'm still on the fence about this....

Look at me, SG world, I'm back!

Quick updates:
-Moved into aforementioned apartment with two aforementioned cool people, have balcony
-Still relatively jobless, but things looking up
-Two new pairs of sneakers
-Several unfinished drawings and a few completely unworked-on animation ideas

Umm, that's it? The summer has been unusually slow, although drinking in Adams Morgan and Dupont, playing video games at Fantom Comics, starting...

Reva-fucking-lation in Hawaii. On a midnight stroll. How cliche is that?

I can't effing wait to get back to DC tomorrow and start my life. New apartment with two awesome people, some ideas for paintings (although more ideas are always appreciated cuz I'm lazy as fuck), and (haha!) no job. It'll be raaaaaaaad.

WTF I'm in Hawaii.
And hanging out on the beach with 1 and 19-year-olds from California is not as fun as you might think it is, ugh. "Hella this" and "I'm drunk that". This must be what it feels like to be an adult.

It's over!
Someone saw fit to give me a degree. And now I'm gone.
Or rather, I've reappeared back in DC, for an indetermined amount of time.
I have a nifty new phone, my allergies are kicking in, and I have nowhere to put my stuff.

*sniiiiiiiffffff!* Ahhh. Home sweet home.
I did however have to leave some things behind in Rhode Island, namely this:...

Whaaaaaaaat the eff?
After four years of hardly talking to my advisor, turning in forms late, and barely finishing my concentration requirements, the Visual Arts department wants to give me an award? For 500 dollars?! Was my senior show really *that* awesome? Very rarely am I completely blown away, but I stared at that email with my mouth wide open for a full five minutes,...

It was kind of sad taking my show down. As much as I'm never completely satisfied with anything I produce, it was really neat to show my work off, especially to my friends. I'm just glad I was drunk off cheap wine for most of the closing reception, with all those people staring at my work. Jesus.

Wine for six straight hours! Yes! And there's...

I've decided my last entry was far too nerdy to stay standing. Sigh.

I've been drawing my ass off for the past few days trying to get ready for my senior show. I'm doing a mini-comic book about some goth/punk kids trying to save the world. It's made me realize that a) I don't like drawing backgrounds, b) I really am not that good at...
