glo-frisbee.
perfect warm night between the skyscrapers.
friends you dont see often these days, although you wish it werent the case.
late night milkshakes, while you try to drink a whole pot of coffee single handedly AND eat a sandwich.
too tired to think.
sleeping and waking up and grabbing some fancy french toast/breakfast burritos.
sleeping some more. 12:30!!
waking up completely on our own terms is unusual and welcome.
tea and NPR.
chatting. shopping in an organized fashion. chatting.
go home. go home.
grab some things. return a dvd. its too hot out.
got beat on the challenge.

the heat keeps me from the only thing i want which is a nap, so i will write on here since i havent in a while.
this last week has been pretty awesome. amy moved back to denver, and the apartment is in a great location. got free ice cream from the new ice cream stand across the street called "little man". its a HUGE milk can. ive been building custom furniture like crazy, but i dont think ill keep doing it, as i like the novel idea of there being two well made pieces of furniture in the world made by me, and nothing more.
went hiking on the fourth of july trail on the fourth of july and discussed for a good portion of it what irony really is and how even though it was easy to say what we were doing was ironic, its actually the opposite of ironic but we didnt know what the descriptive word was. we thought maybe serendipitous, but that wasnt right because it wasnt a coincidence that the trail name and holiday were the same. i dont know. still thinking about it.
another coincidence of the hike was passing my "rep" from the temp agency i interviewed at but was not given a job. everything managed to somehow not be awkward about that fact until a couple people in my group mildly grilled her about why she hadnt found me a job, and made a crack to her that now I knew for sure I wasnt getting a job with them (because i was forcibly finding it out on a hike in the mountains). i wasnt mad or embarrassed i dont think. just a little confused on what it meant if it did mean something.
tonight will probably be full of jack and cokes, music, explosives, hanging out, and talking.
the future might not exist.

dear _______,
i dont know whats going to happen or what is going to kill me or when its going to kill me. I like ignoring those paralytic details because it obviously allows me to be a much happier person.
I saw pictures tonight that made me realize that we are getting older and time is flying, I kind of felt threatened by them. I saw a video that made me laugh to the point of tears. I love reading the quote book. I love spending time with the people I love. I feel privileged to be part of times like these.
I moved into a new apartment this weekend, and I already sleep so much better than I did at my old place. No weird noises. No people having loud sex in the apartment above me. no smell of cigarette smoke permeating the carpet and walls from the tenant before me. Clean Bathroom. Clean kitchen. Numbered parking space. Cool view of the city. party.

I just realized I have a bone to pick with someone. I don't know who.
as some of you know, I have been on a job hunt since I returned from Peru.
as I have been searching, I realized that companies are looking for graphic designers, but require experience in web design and web programs (dreamweaver, flash, etc)
at first I felt down on myself. I would be frustrated and say to myself "why didn't you just learn the web stuff too?! life would be so much easier if you had just taken the time to learn them..."
well, I am here today to tell you that just as a marine biologist doesn't have equal experience in molecular biology or a carpenter doesnt have experience in the electrician field, I my friends am a print designer!
I have no interest in web design.
I wish I could tell these companies to re-evaluate their job postings to stop leading poor artists on with their "graphic designer needed" postings when they are looking for a web designer.
It's a waste of our time.
I'm sorry to sound so angry. I'm not. I just realized that I am not an inexperienced graphic designer. I'm just fine! I mean, I have so much left to learn and I want to get better at what I love to do, but the false feeling on inadequacy stops now.
I love paper! please let me cling to my paper and design on my paper and let me be happy.
thank you.

i had one of those dreams last night. the kind that makes you so happy when it's happening. lucid.
then you wake up, and are heartbroken. the kind of dream you try to force yourself back to sleep to try and jump back into it.
--
last night i was hanging out at my parent's house and my dad told me that a real virtuoso mouse is hiding out in their room because he keeps setting traps to catch him, and just for some back history you need to understand that my dad for as long as i can remember has prided himself on using peanut butter on mouse traps instead of the cliche cheese. APPARENTLY this mouse set off the trap the first time it was set and ate all the peanut butter off of it. the second time he ate the peanut butter off the trap without setting it off. I'm worried that there might be a CGI walking/talking mouse in my parents room.

i decided it was worth it to point out that one of my favorite bands released the cover to their new album and the single for it too. it is a departure for them, but Brian Eno knows what he's doing.
I am very excited for this record.
