Busy Little Bee...

I have been one lately. School, friends, girlfriend, home, other stuff...it keeps you on your toes. I'm just trying to maintain some composure and to avoid flipping my proverbial lid.
School is going ok. I got a little behind last week, but I think I can make up the difference. Last weekend was busy...I didn't get to do everything I had planned. I won't go into any details, but I was stressed out.
I did, however, manage to get to see The Dark Knight...holee shit, that movie rocks hard. I won't lay out a review here right now. Partly because I'm lazy and partly because I can't really say anything about the film that you probably haven't heard already. Yes, it's the best Batman film. Yes, Heath Ledger deserves an Oscar.

I got commissioned to do some artwork. I guess the guy is some eccentric millionaire comic geek or something. He has a blog where he posts all these multi-verse team pictures that he's had other artists do for him. I got an email from the guy the other day saying that he wanted to pay me to do one and gave me the link to his site...I told him I could do it for $100 and he said "Let's do!" So, I just gotta pick some different characters from different comic companies from this list he made and do an homage to a classic team cover, also on the list. He didn't give me a deadline or anything, so I guess I just do it at my liesure. I think I should ask for a down payment first, just to make sure the guy is legit.

On a semi-related note, I have a job interview tomorrow at Kits Cameras in Federal Way. It's just for a sales associate position, but it's something. I think I have enough knowledge of and interest in photography to do well. We'll see how it goes.

So, I'm thinking of starting an art blog. Just showcasing the stuff I've done in the past and also new stuff as I make it available. Let's see a show of hands...should I start a whole new blog just for that or should I just do it here, mingled in with my regular blog posts? Lemme know what you think...

Welp, that's all for now, meine kleine lieblings.

Until we meet again...

Where You At, Foo'?

It's been a while since I posted last. I've just been so friggin' busy lately that I haven't had much time to do much of anything.
We went to a couple of baseball games...The Tacoma Rainiers at the end of June, which I think I already wrote about, and Seattle Mariners on July 5...they played the Detroit Tigers...which I think is kind of ironic since the last major league baseball game I went to was a Detroit Tigers game when I was about 10 or so...and this was my first Mariners game ever and my first major league game since that trip to Tiger Stadium oh so many moons ago...just kind of an odd coincidence I thought was worth mentioning...

My 4th of July was pretty fun...we went to Rose's uncle's lake house near Shelton...we hung out by the fire...I kept getting smoke blown in my face...and had some yummy bbq...Rose and I went swimming...we wanted to go out on the inner tube things and dragged behind a boat at 50 or 60 miles per hour, but they didn't have any life jackets big enough...but I got to ride in the boats, so that was fun...
Oh, and their neighbor owns a real life steamboat and he took us for a ride...that was pretty cool...I posted a few pictures on my myspace page, so feel free to check them out...
We were gonna stay for fireworks, but we had a busy day the next day, so we left early...we got all the way to Puyallup (Rose had another Slurpee and jalapeno taquito craving) and realized that she left her purse...so, we had to drive all the way back and then come home...we didn't get home til around 2 am...but, it was a fun day...

So, that was my holiday...other than that, I've just been doing school and still looking for work...I've put in a ton of applications, but no luck so far...I'm getting quite stressed out...I'm ready to get on with my life, but to do that without any money is nigh impossible...just gotta keep chuggin' away, I guess...

Anyway, that's about it for now...I'll try to find more time to post more often...

Until next time, my pets....

Thank You, Sir, May I Have Another?!

Long time since my last post...I've been so freakin' busy lately, I feel kind of overwhelmed and stretched out...

So, let's see...we went to see Get Smart...it was pretty freakin' hilarious...definitely gonna buy that one on the ol' digital versatile disc...
We have yet to see Wall-E...and then Hellboy 2 next week...and The Dark Knight the week after that...those are the must sees this summer...we're gonna see Batman on the regular screen then we're gonna go see it in IMAX...

We went to a Tacoma Rainiers game last weekend...they played the Salt Lake Bees and kicked their asses...10-3...though Rose was rooting for Salt Lake and their catcher who she thought was cute...it was a fun time and a good game...
I have some pictures, I'll post a few in the next few days hopefully...
This weekend we're going to see the Mariners play the Tigers...should be good...I'll have plenty of pics from that too...

Well, I had a job interview on Monday for a graphic design job here in town...needless to say, I don't think it went very well...I don't think she was too impressed with me or my work...I always botch it in interviews...I practice how to answer and then I get on the spot and freeze up...I don't think I'm good enough right now for a graphic design job...
I'm pissed because I spent $20 just to print out some stuff for my portfolio...Rose bought me a new shirt and tie...and my mom bought me a portfolio and a case...I really had a good feeling...before the interview...
She kept bringing up my comic stuff as if it was a detriment...everytime I've gone in to an interview for a job like that, they turn my comic stuff against, suggesting that that's all I can do or that's all I want to do...it kinda pisses me off...I try to turn it positive and say that there's a lot of graphic design in comics and that graphic design experience would help with my comics down the line, but I don't think that gets their attention...
I guess it's back to the drawing board...

I'm just kind of depressed right now...it seems like I can't get a job I would do well at, only shit jobs that I can't physically do...it's very frustrating and it makes me mad...

Maybe I should step up the comic stuff...

It's been hot.

I guess I should finish cleaning up...

I shall report again later...

Face Front, True Believers!
