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!

We'll Do it Live!

Heh heh...I love that video of Bill O'Reilly just mentally shitting himself on camera...

Not much new to speak of today...saw The Incredible Hulk last night...T'was pretty awesome, indeed...looks like Marvel's back in the game...maybe they should just remake all (or at least most) of their past movies and tie them all in together...I can't wait to see what they do next...

I've been drawing and working on some stuff that I'll post here in the coming weeks...

Other than that, not much new really...

I lead an exciting life...

See ya next time, True Believers...

What Year is It?

So, I obviously haven't posted in a few days...it's been busy lately...doin' stuff with Rose, finishing up the quarter for school, job hunting, doing art work, working on top-secret government projects...oops, I wasn't supposed to mention that...Anyway, I guess I blew it on the blog 365 thing...oh, well...Now it'll be blog 360...

I have a few job prospects lined up...a job at the Bonney Lake library...I've applied for the same job at a different branch before...hopefully I get a little further in the process this time...Then, there's a job fair on the 21st that I plan on attending...hopefully something comes of that...
This jobless stuff sucks balls...I'm getting sick of it and it's starting to severely affect my life in more ways than one...it's kind of pissing me off a bit...

Anyway, enough about that...what else?

Nothing else much...I finished that research paper...not sure what my grade is, but I think my teacher liked it, so I think I'll get a decent grade on it...I let Rose edit it cuz she likes that kind of thing...I know, weird...

Did I mention I've been reading Harry Potter? Well, I'm almost finished with the first book...I gotta finish it by June 30...I'm sure I'll finish before then...then I'm gonna check out the next one...and The Watchmen if they have it...I need to read it...as a self-proclaimed geek, I should have read it some time ago...I'm a slacker...

My mom and her friend are setting up a garage sale, so I'm getting together some stuff to sell...just getting rid of some stuff I don't want/need anymore...got some double DVD's I need to get rid of...I'm still looking through stuff so I'm sure I'll find more...

Stan Winston passed away...it's sad that all the greats are leaving us...we won't get anymore cool practical robots or dinosaurs or aliens anymore...that guy was the master of his craft...I believe I need to watch The Terminator, Jurassic Park and Predator in his memory...

Aaaaaand, I think that's all I have going on for now....

Until we meet again, True Believers...

Uh Oh, It's Green...

Not much new today...just worked on my research paper, which Rose was kind enough to look over for me...actually, she's been dying to look at it because she has some weird fetish for research papers and the like...I think she likes paperwork too much...it won't be a great paper, but at least it will LOOK like a great paper...

I've been trying to get back into a drawing groove...I've been kind of as I like to say "creatively constipated"...so I've just been doodling to get back into a flow, so I can start doing some decent stuff...

What else? Just doing some more job hunting...tweaked my resume a bit today...just reorganized it a bit, didn't really add much new stuff to it...

I started reading Harry Potter...Rose has been clamoring for me to read it...I really dig the movies and she's hardcore for it, so she's excited for me to start reading...I've been slightly interested in reading it, but it was something I could just get around to whenever I got around to it...

So, I went to the library, got a new card, checked out the large type copy of the first book because that's all they had left...I got partway through chapter 3 last night...I got a little further in the middle of the night because I had a bout of diarrhea...that's always fun...
I'm liking the book...it's a fun read...I look forward to reading some more...hopefully, I'll finish the series before the final movie comes out...

Other than that, I'm just trying to stay sane...

Off I go to read some more...

Excelsior!

Kickin' It Old School, Part 2...

So, on Friday, Rose and I went to the Drive-In and saw a Kung Fu Panda/Iron Man double feature, though she didn't stay up for Iron Man...oh, well, at least I got to see it again...

'Twas fun, indeed...I haven't been to a drive-in since many moons past...I was surprised that many people still go...it's kinda nice that a piece of American history like that still exists...

Saturday, we did jack squat...

Sunday, we went to a park, ate pizza, then we rolled down a big hill and landed in a puddle that had formed at the bottom...

All in all, a pretty good weekend...
