I’m heading up to Lake Placid in about an hour with a bunch of my blogging buddies. Last time I went we had a good time and I wasn’t eaten by a giant creature. I hope to have the same success this time around. Have a great weekend, everyone.

Ok I’m Back

May 6th, 2008

I’ve been gone for a while. So sorry. But things will be different, I promise.

I need to get back into the blogging habit, so I’ll start small. In fact, I need your input on this one. I received an iTunes gift card for my birthday. I’ve got room for 3 more albums to purchase, but I’m a bit puzzled on what to get.

Can you recommend 3 albums for me? I’m open to different genres and styles, however lately I’m listening to indie rock, folk, hip-hop, and experimental.

Thanks!

Well I’ve been quiet for a while. But plenty has happened.

  • I won a tie design competition and I will be flying out to Tallahassee this week to see it worn by a few hundred people at a conference. I’m pretty excited about that.

  • I’m the owner of a brand new Wii. My brother and I split the cost of the machine and the new Smash Brothers Brawl. Playing online against Cory has been a blast.

  • Celebrations. I’ve been out and about with some of my classmates celebrating birthdays at bowling alleys, bars, and a few clubs. Now I know why I’m broke.

  • I designed my graduation show website. Go on over to mu-dai.com for details on the event. You’re all invited to come mix and mingle with food, drink, and art.

  • I hung out with Nat for an evening while she was in town last week. It’s always a fun time when we get together.

  • I’d say about 4 more friends of mine are getting married. This leaves me with about 2.6 friends left to hang out with.

  • I’m starting to listen to opera. So far I’ve acquired a Pavarotti 2-disc set and I’m enjoying it.

  • I’m going to submit to another few design competitions.

I can’t seem to remember anything else at the moment.

It’s late and I’m working on 2 projects. I would rather be sleeping. The above is a sketch I made on Friday while listening to a lecture. It’s a drawing of Brent, whom I also made into a cartoon during last year’s Blogathon.

Back to work!

This SNL Digital Short had me cracking up.

Props to Rey for telling me about hulu.

I’m really enjoying the quiet evenings I have to myself. For the past week or so I’ve been getting home, eating dinner, and shortly after taking a nap. Usually I’ll wake up an hour later and let the grogginess wear off with a good magazine and a fresh cup of coffee. Once I’m fully awake it’s time for music and artwork.

I’m doing some hand-lettering for a package design project I’m working on. The above image is a glimpse of a few letters and numbers I did with a sharpie. I’ll be combining these with some typed out letters as well.

Alrighty, well I’m going to get back to my project. Cheers.
