my last sunday of being unemployed (for now)

Well. I'm an office boy.

Get the coffee! Check the email! Type this up! Faster, Cinderella!

See you at 9am, traffic and sunshine and gas light.

"talk to strangers" wednesday

So, in February, I signed up for CouchSurfing.com in an attempt to surf through Ireland during my week-long return voyage.

(No luck.)

Since moving to the Big D, however, I get weekly emails about CouchSurfing "Mixers" where strangers come out, drink for cheap and meet people—people traveling, people who live here, people who just moved here. It's basically a gold mine for making friends.

So last night, I finally attended my first Mixer. I bought along my buddy Frank too. It was fascinating. People from everywhere. Weird people. Nice people. Over all, really cool people.

…One guy named David who was a failed Incan Priest in a past life, so he was traveling back to Peru. He also educated us on the notion that cats were extinct thousands of years ago and replaced with mind controlling space monsters. Seriously.

Really, you can't beat $2.00 draft beer, half-priced appetizers and meeting thirty friendly people who just love to travel and meet other cool, friendly people who just love to travel.

And I'm off to the theatre!

sunday eve 2

Also, I like watching students reading and studying really hard, with really big books and calculators and shit.

It makes "real life" okay.

Aaaand… this is wonderful.

sunday eve

I am helping a couple play Scrabble in the cafe around the corner. I like this.

Also, things I like: dogs in coffee shops.

oh, another friday

Things I am currently in love with:

Kooman/Dimond

IZZE Sparkling Grapefruit Juice

Freelance design work emails

Yesterday's weather

Typography

The table that I found but have yet to purchase on CraigsList

My bed

The awesome Greek chicken gyros that I made with the Big V last night.

…This is an ongoing list.

holy thursday

So. I woke up to the fire alarm today. That was pleasant. I swear to god, if the fire doesn't kill you, the heart attack will. There were lights flashing and I couldn't find my pants… it was—it was a mess.

I tried a new coffee shop today. Didn't take.

Tried to go to Panera. No outlets. WHAT?

So, I came back to a usual coffee shop.

Also, I made a friend called Oscar. He's a dog.

And this is what I want for Christmas.

manic monday

still haven't heard about the dam job.

also, i just saw this woman on the street.

tuesday update

Recently, I've become friends with the AM. Strange.

I survived last week's blizzard. As did my Honda.

Did some work for SLANT Theatre Project in New York.

Worked out a logo for Congregations Acting for Justice and Empowerment in Indiana.

Maybe will hear about the DAM job this week?

I was La Pinta for Halloween. (Accompanied by my bro as La Santa Maria, my cousin as la Nina, and bro's gf as Christopher Columbus).

I am totally going to have pizza rolls and a Dr. Pepper for lunch.

Today might just be a really good nap day…

Yeah… I think so…
