So it's Saturday night; Thanksgiving has come and gone. It was our first "married" Thanksgiving, although whenever people talk about their "First Married [insert holiday here]", I always picture something horribly cheesy, like matching holiday outfits and commemorative figurines. Our "first married Thanksgiving" was pretty much the same as our last, unmarried Thanksgiving, except I got to wake up

I'm about to go program my new cell phone while watching Gilmore Girls on DVD, then make some lunch. There's a happy cat sleeping on the floor next to my desk chair. I like days like this. I've started getting into the "groove" of things. First off, let me just say that I am a big fan of this whole "married" thing. Definitely a big fan. It's funny, sometimes it all feels so surreal. Like we

Well, I’m back. No, really, back from a lot of things. Back to the blogging world (I hope), back to Florida from Puerto Rico, back from the craziness of planning a wedding, back to life as I knew it before, only a little different. This time I’m a “Mrs” and I get to live with my best friend, in an apartment by the beach with two awesome kitties. The wedding was amazing, in every way that it

So Friday night, Caleb and I went to Lake City to see Band Marino, Hospitals on the Moon, Arrowhead, and Kid Kazzam. They were all great, and I really enjoyed seeing everybody and just hearing some good music. We left around 11, since Caleb had to be in Jax early the next day. It's about a two-hour drive from LC to St. Aug, so it was about 1:00 when we were almost at our exit. I was sleeping,

I'm spending this weekend holed up in my room working on my type book, which will be quite the task. However, I do have another great video (thanks to Veer) you to enjoy:Also, I now have a day-of wedding coordinator (who I'm bartering design services for) and I just ordered my dress from NetBride (for a whole heckuva lot less than the retail value). Hooray for saving money!

It's finally getting warmer! The weather has been dreadfully cold (well, for Florida at least) for the last week, and today it's actually warmed up to 73. Thank goodness. I just made a quick foray to Target to get some blank cds, and I was able to check out the new Proena Schouler line (which isn't actually supposed to be out until Feb. 4th). The clothes are incredibly cute, and I already saw a

Today was my first yoga class of the semester. I didn't think we were actually going to do yoga (since it was the first class), but we did. Half of us in jeans, half in typical yoga attire. It was fun, and while breathing deeply is a bit harder when you're wearing jean, I managed to be pretty relaxed. I'm really looking forward to lengthening and stretching and centering and all that other

Christmas is over, New Year's is past...and they were pretty darn good ones, I have to say. I travelled a lot for the holidays: Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York City, even Princeton (briefly). I loved spending time with my family and trying on wedding dresses with my best friend, but I have to admit that my favorite part was hanging out in NYC for two days with my brother and my aunt. She works

Well, I've actually been posting a bit over the past month, believe it or not. Only I was using the "Dashboard Blogger" widget. Which, for some strange reason, was...not working. Yeah. So none of my three entries were posted--they were just shot out into the vast universe of the internet, ones and zeros that mean nothing. So sad. So, let me start again. The most important thing: I'm getting

Phew. So I'm defintely feeling a bit burnt out. This drawing class is taking about a zillion hours of my time. I really didn't think it would be so intense, but it makes me glad that I didn't do the internship with SJCC. I have no idea how I would have found the time for it. Plus, I'm really excited to do an internship at a real design company. Hopefully I can get one either next summer or next

iTunes 7.0 is slick and shiny and beautiful and it makes me feel all happy inside. Go get it.In other news, I think I'm getting the first cold of the season. Joy of joys. I've also spent a total of 20 hours drawng various self-portraits. Charcoal is becoming a permanent makeup on my face.

So I definitely just rode around in the Intracoastal Waterway in a tiny boat with six other people. It was basiclly the best thing ever. Here's the story: I'm getting ready for bed when I hear a soft knock on my door (the one that leads to the kitchen). I answered it, a little wierded out, but it was only Jessamyn. She was looking for a flashlight and was afraid she'd scared me becuase she was

School started, and I now have a giant time-sucker of a Drawing II class. Three hours of homework a night. Yeah. So I'm pretty much going to be a hermit this semester. I still have plans to get a new host (the reason that my website isn't working) and do a new website, but it's kind of on the back burner for now. A lot is going on, a lot of craziness, but I know things will settle soon and I'll

Just a post to say that I'm still here (well, actually, just back from vacation in New Jersey) and doin' well. My website expired and right now I'm trying to figure out what kind of hosting I want to get, plus I'd like to get a new site up in the next month or so (well, we'll see--you know how that goes!). Hopefully you're all doing wonderfully yourselves, even though summer is about to be over.

So my birthday was pretty darn great. Caleb suprised me with lunch at Gypsy Cab Company (they have the most incredible chicken ever!), since I've been wanting to eat there since, well, forever. Then he gave me a book I really like a lot, and took me shopping at Anthropologie. My boyfriend is the best ever. To top it off, we went swimming and watched "The Jerk" with Steve Martin, and I got a free

Recently I've stumbled on a whole crop of new design blogs that I am utterly in love with. There are too many to list, but most of them are ladies a few years older than me, in cities bigger than St. Augustine, and they post oodles (yes, oodles) of photos and links of design trends. Frankly, it's quite inspiring. Overwhelming, even. And.It really makes me rethink a lot of my design goals, becuase

My muscles basiclly hate me right now. I started working out at the gym with Caleb on Monday, and today was killer. He makes me meet him at 7am (he has to work at 9). Meanie. I'm glad that I'm doing this, though, it's about time I got into shape.I just heard the song "Say After Me" by Bic Runga (click for a music video) the other day, and I really like her.

For some reason, our trip to Michigan went by extremely fast. It was a lot of fun. I got to fly with Caleb, which I've never done before, so that was cool. We flew from Orlando to Detroit, looking at the silly inflight catalogue and eating pretzels. I love flying. It was clear, too, so we had a great view of all the tiny cars and tiny houses. Our trip mostly consisted of good food, hanging out

We watched Arrested Development, ate salmon patties, slept in, went to look at a house, got snow cones, and other fun things.

Aaaaaand I'm done. With school. For the semester (yes, I should technically be graduating this year, but that whole transferring schools thing tends to throw in a kink or two). It's 82 degrees out and I am going to the beach. Which I haven't done since pretty much October. My pale face needs some sun. Last night I picked my friends Chris and Erin up from the airport.

Last night was "Dressed to Kill" at Marathon Monday. I went as Velma Kelly from Chicago (complete with pearls, gloves, and pistol). Dancing in heels is fun, but it's definitely harder. Next week it's back to Converse for me.I just finished listening to some songs from Josh Ritter's new album, "The Animal Years." It's good. Real good, actually. The song "Lillian, Egypt" is about a silent film

So last night I had a Real Good Time. I went with Erin to the Monday Night Marathon, a big dance party that a group of Flagler kids started having every Monday at Club Fusion. It was so much fun--I had no idea how enjoyable dancing was! It was also nice because everyone was being silly and they played good music, and there weren't any scary club skanks or manwhores. Whew.

So check this video out. It's by Morningwood, an NYC band that mixes rock, punk, and a little bit of disco (and yes, they're better than the Scissor Sisters). Nothing revolutionary, but they're a lot of fun, and the video makes me think of Dusty from Porktornado's list of worst record album covers. Enjoy!

So randomly enough, I won two contests this week (and I never win things!)1. I won a drawing from NPR for two tickets to see Jamie Cullum at the Florida State Theatre! Caleb and I were planning on going anyways, and these tickets are some darn good seats!2. I won a Graphic Design class contest to design the new identity for the Carrera Gallery, Flagler's art gallery. They show about 2 exhibitions

I am so tired right now. I think I got too much sleep last night (it doesn't seem possible). I started pouring my molds today for my sculpture clasas and I almost fell asleep on top of my bucket of plaster. Not good. In other news, I started my garden today. Philip and Josh helped me dig up the land, and I piled up some nasty roots and leaves for a compost pile. This weekend I'm going to try and

Today I won a hundred dollars. I'm not even kidding. How cool is that? A t-shirt design I did for the St. Augustine 5K Run won, and so in addition to a hundred big ones, my design will be on the front of all the runner's shirts. I'm pretty darn excited, to be honest. It makes me feel more confident in my design skills. Plus, well, it's a hundred bucks! Yay!Philip flew in today from Detroit, so I

I almost went to see the Drive By Truckers play in Gainesville today. But then I didn't (the people I was going to meet couldn't make it). I am, however, planning on buying the new Ben Harper album the day it comes out, and I'm really excited about it. Also, if you haven't heard Matisyahu, the Hasidic Reggae-Hip Hop artist, then by all means, click the name and check him out. It's pretty frickin'

One big project down, one to go. Tomorrow at 5:45 I will be feeling so good and so ready to relax. I will be best friends with Adobe Illustrator this afternoon. And that's okay. It's getting warmer now, and that makes me happy. So does the fact that Caleb will be here this weekend to celebrate our anniversary. Three years and counting (March 6th, anyway)!

When I opened my Yoplait Whips! Yogurt today, the inside of the lid said, "First Kiss Good!" No. I'm sorry. I hate to break it to you, Yoplait people, but my first kiss was a heck of a lot better than yogurt. And if yours wasn't, then I'm sorry. Maybe you should see a therapist.

I've discovered more and more that the media likes to stamp everyone with "Democrat" or "Republican." You're either one or the other--or you're a nut. Well, as conservative as I am (I plan on becoming a stay at home mom once I have kids, I go to church every week, I won't be having sex until I'm married), I am also passionate about things that tend to be "lefty" (I am addicted to NPR, I listen to

It's February. And I am wearing shorts. Thank the Lord for Florida!I have been killing time on myspace and facebook and all those other terribly mind wasting things. It's like junk food for my mind. I just happen to like junk food. a little.I spent four hours working on my sculpture today. It's looking pretty good, I'm actually quite proud of it. I have to finish sanding it down tomorrow, then

The Danielson Family is making a movie (click for trailer). I'm excited, to say the least.It's freezing here. Well, at least compared to what it should be. Wearing a jacket and scarf in Florida is just not acceptable. I still don't have internet at my house, which is starting to get old reaaal fast. I'm really hoping they'll get the wireless finished before this week is up. I have two big

Well, I have to go give my modem back to the cable company, or they're going to keep billing me. And the wireless over here isn't set up all the way. So this might be the start of an inadvertant internet fast. Hopefully not, becuase I have two big projects to work on, but I guess there are worse things that could happen.The Good: Caleb and I are going to see the Jax Symphony Orchestra do Led

I went to hear Denison Witmer tonight. His music is beautiful--sleepy Iron & Wine mixed with a little bit of Simon & Garfunkel. He's also delightfully funny. Bernard also played...I always get so swept up in their music. It's so thick, and they play old black and white films in the background, perfectly timed to the music. It's an experience.It's cold here: 43 degrees. The cold and the music

You know, I really can't wait until they get the blogger widget working again. It was just so much easier than signing in and all that. Okay, I admit it, I am lazy. Sad, isn't it? But I still liked being able to press F12 and *poof* there it was.Well, I'm officially moved in. I know that because I can't think of any more reasons to go to Target (other than it being so cool).

I'm now half-way uprooted. But hopefully by this weekend I will be ALL the way uprooted. Caleb is coming this weekend to help me move in to the Marin House. And I have one really great poster design under my belt for the semester, a giant iPod made out of records, half of a new sculpture with rubber tubing and metal, logo designs, more knowledge about Modern Art than I already need to know.

16 degree weather. I don't miss it, or the snow, one single bit. I thought maybe I would--all that beautiful, fluffy white stuff! But I was wrong. Snow is cold and wet and sludgy. And I am here in Michigan, not the ski slopes of Colorado. I miss snowboarding, I'll give you that, but that's it. It feels strange to be back here in Michigan again--it's been so long this time (the last time I was

Sometimes I can't help but sit around feeling a bit lost. When did everybody grow up? Has the world always been as scary as it is now? It feels like so much is happening lately, in our country, our government, our planet. Has it always been this way, and I was just to naive or preoccupied to notice it? Or are we on the edge of something big here? Maybe I don't want to be on the edge. Maybe I miss

So apparently my blogger widget isn't working. Becuase I've actually written two posts and it said that I posted them, but according to my site, they aren't there. Sad. I'm still around, although I've been getting to know the tables at the Design Studio a lot better lately. I also think I'll throw up if I have to mix any more colors. I promise I'll post some photos soon of some of my assignments,

Earlier this week, I was listening to the Podcast of NPR's "All Songs Considered" on Lenny the 2nd, my wonderful new 5th Gen. iPod. I love "All Songs Considered" because I'm always introduced to at least one or two cds that are incredible. This weeks picks are two great cover albums. The first is "This Bird Has Flown", a 40th anniversary cover cd of the Beatles' "Rubber Soul". "Rubber Soul" is by

I'm so tired, and I can't figure out why. Chicken noodle soup and Anna Becker on my stereo make me ready for a nice long nap.Except I have to go to work at 1:30. So a powernap it is, instead of curling up for a solid five hours with Max (my stuffed polar bear) and a sweater. It's so gray outside.

I went to a dance class today. I'm really proud of myself--I'm such a white girl. There's this awesome black woman in my class who can really shake it, she's got so much soul. I had so much fun...I think I'm going to try and go every Saturday until I have to start working mornings. Hurricane Wilma is getting bigger. I hope that it doesn't hit Saint Augustine.

Today has been fruitful. I slept in, which was not-so-productive, but considering my lack of sleep over the weekend, it was well needed. It's gorgeous outside, so I rode my bike to class. On my way home, I decided to stop by a few stores that I've passed, but never gone in, including Eco-Organic (I think that's the name anyway), a little clothing store. The owner was really nice, and even though

You know what's sad? When you meet interesting/cool people, but you know that they won't remember you or get to know you because they have "enough" friends. Their quota is full, so unless you get stuck with them in some random situation, they dismiss you as just one more person that they don't need to take the time of knowing. This has happened to me quite a bit in the past few months. Look, I

I went to the beach after class today. I didn't even go in the water, just slept and read Under the Tuscan Sun (which is incredible, and nothing like the movie--better). Then I treated myself to a Mahi sandwich and fried plantains at Mango Mango's. I love that place. I've been feeling a bit lonely lately. I have made quite a few aquaintances here in St. Augustine, but no real friends as of yet.

So Tropical Storm Tammy is now all up onz. And I lost my umbrella last week. So I guess I will be heading to Target to get a new one later this afternoon. After I've been soaked through a couple of times. I just hope my yard doesn't flood, becuase then I'll be living in Swampland, and the number of mosquitos will multiply exponentially.

I mean, I'm sure there are plenty of hippies here in St. Augustine, but not the same. I miss jumping off bridges and climbing up mountains and makeshift climbing walls in basements. I also wish that I had spent more time hanging out with them, becuase they were all such cool people and I was way too busy. As Usual. I am definitely going to road trip to Virginia this summer to enjoy a little

So my new job basically rocks. It's at this beautiful Bed and Breakfast right on the Bayfront in downtown St. Augustine. I pretty much work the front desk, and the work is quite minimal. I check in the two or three people that come each night, do a load or so of laundry, make a dessert (cake or brownies or something) to put out at six, and answer the phone. I trained with Liz last night, and it

So after reading Cameron's blog today, I'm jealous. I miss doing freelance stuff, and he's all up in it right now (keep at it boy, I really am happy that you've been busy). I'm kinda sorta working on Rino's new website, but it will be awhile. Design 1 is taking up more time than I thought it would. Granted, I haven't been pulling any allnighters (3:30 am is the latest I've stayed up for it), but

My water got turned back on yesterday. And there was much rejoicing. The leaks are fixed as well, and so for now my house is chugging back along. Shoot a prayer up for me today--I'm going to the Apple store at St. John's to see if they can resuscitate poor Lenny the iPod. I think if they can't do anything for him, I'm going to send him to iPod Mods. You can send them your iPod and they'll do a

Well hello again. It's been a busy weekend, albeit a very good one. Caleb came to visit this weekend. I didn't have to work until tonight, so of course the weekend went by extremely fast. Hightlights of the weekend include:eating at Chili's with the whole famwatching "The Office Special"going to Vilano Beach and getting beaten up by the waves in the most hilarious possible way.hanging out with

My final Design project is done. Thank goodness. I didn't even stay up late last night. The only sad thing is that I woke up today at 9:22. Not terrible, you say? Well, my design class is at 9:00. Yeah. I got ready in about 2 and a half minutes. I made it to class at 9:34, after frantically driving to school and almost getting run over by an inept old man who decided not to look before he turned

I just spent half an hour sitting on the floor at the front desk, reading The Creative Habit for my Art 477 class. Now I'm watching the Simpsons. When it's slow, this job is pretty much as good as working at the East Campus Clubhouse. And here I can even use the internet. Now if only I could get a stool...Only two more "final" sketches before I'm done with my first Design I project. My favorite

I got off of work early tonight, so I spent an hour at BN devouring Spin, Rockpile, and Print. Yum. I'm in love with Peter Arkle lately. His illustrations are both fascinating and funny.My first Design I project is due Monday. Two final pieces tonight, four or five tomorrow, and three or so on Sunday. Then I'll be done. I'll also probably have brain damage from all the Sharpie that I'm inhaling.

I made chicken fajitas for dinner tonight. last night I made tacos, with all the fixin's. I have been quite the cook lately. You're missing out.I went to a knitting party at Lindsay's house tonight. It was fun--it was nice to work on my scarf (well, my dad's scarf) for a little while. I have muchos Design I to do. I knew it would be like this, and I'm glad that it is challenging, but dang.

Walking to class from my car, I have anice 2 block stroll down Valencia street. My iPod is on, my earbuds in, and I'm finding myself more and more ready to break into either spontaneous dance or full-on rock strut. That's the bad side of listening to catchy music. I start feeling like I'm in my own movie, and I've had to stop myself from dancing in the street. Sometimes I wish I could let life be

I keep reading/seeing more things that I want to learn how to make and do. The good thing is, instead of feeling depressed, I feel inspired. I may be non-stop busy this week, but I have 2 more years of college left. There is a lot that I'm going to accomplish. WILL accomplish, darn it.

At work. Bored. Being a bad girl and using the internet. Typical, I know.The National Hypnosis Group is here tonight in our conference room hosting a thing where they get people to either stop smoking or lose weight. Which means that around 6:00 there will be eighty people smoking their "last cigarette" just outside our front entry. I'm not kidding, last time there was so much smoke you couldn't

In Passing is a beautifully hilarious website that boasts some of the best overheard quotes in Berkley, and I'd forgotten how much I love going there. A few of my favorite posts:"Remember Kenny?""New guy, Josh's old co-worker?""Yeah. Tonight he was leaving the office and said, 'I'm going to go home and cook these steaks.' I didn't really care, but I said, 'What steaks?' And then he says, "Didn't

I just spent a lovely afternoon with Josh and Philip. I got this free attraction VIP pass for Saint Augustine just becuase I work at a hotel, so now I have the next thirty days to visit every touristy thing in the city. We went to Potter's Wax Museum today, which was mildly entertaining. I'm glad I didn't pay anything for it, but the torture chamber part was cool, and The was figure of Al Capone

Caleb went back to Graceville today. I was sad to see him go--this weekend was a lot of fun, and it made me really realize how much I miss having him in my everyday life. It will probably be a month before I see him again, and even typing that I can't really comprehend it. Hopefully I'll know in advance enough to request the weekend off this time--I ihad to work 3-11pm on Saturday and Sunday,

I dropped my math class! Woo hooo! My schedule is now as follows:--Design I--Visual Communication II--Computer Graphics I--Creativity: The Art of PossibilityI cannot even tell you how happy I am about this. Caleb is here for the weekend, but I've had to work for most of it, which is really sad, but it's been nice seeing him and hanging out a little bit.I got a free sightseeing sheet so that I can

I got into Design I! I am so happy, even though it sounds like that class is going to kick my butt. But Computer Graphics I and Visual Communication II are going to be easy. And hopefully so will Creativity: The Art of Possibility. But I might have to drop that if I can't drop my Math class. Which apparently is not very easy to drop. But I was informed that if I cry and use big words to the Math

[written Monday]Orientation started today. I have good classes, which is awesome. I need to add Design I, but I'm ferst on the waiting list, so we'll see. I'll post my final schedule when I get it. One more day until classes start! I'm so excited.Tallahassee was a great deal of fun. I saw Justin Hancock, Brittany from Crescent Beach, Lauren R. from Liberty (and her fiancee Paul), plus Dan and

So I'm at work. I really shouldn't be doing this right now, but it is DEAD slow and I've been really bored. Happy Gilmore is on TV, but I've already seen it so I'm just paying attention at the good parts. We're sold out tomorrow night at the hotel--all the freshman parents for Flagler are coming in. We've even had a few come in tonight. It's so wierd, being a transfer. I don't really have any of

This is just to say--I was looking at some of my archives, and dang. How did I have so much time on my hands? I need to work on putting a little more effort into these entries, they used to be better (or at least I thought so). I guess that's the price you pay for life.

1 day, 21 hours till I see Caleb (not to mention Jimmy Eat World! Woo hoo!). Ok, there's my schmoopy moment for the day.I'm going to Turtles music to sell them some cds: Scissor Sisters, The Ravonettes, and Dido. I almost feel like I'm duping them, becuase I have all of the cds burnt on my mac and on my iPod. And I don't really listen to them all that much. Hopefully I'll get enough money to buy

So I rode my bike downtown again today. It takes exactly 12 and a half minutes to get from my front door to Flagler (15 to get from here to the art department). This makes me happy, since it means that bike riding will be a wonderful mode of transportation for classes.I decided to stop at Holly's Diner on my way back to get a root beer float. It was divine, as only root beer floats can be. I even

I had today off. So I went to a bunch of antique stores. St. Augustine has quite a few, and I bought a pretty blue beaded necklace and a cigar box to keep Caleb's letters in.I also rode my bike downtown to Flavors Eatery and got a really big smoothie. No kidding, this thing was ginormous. But it tasted really good after the bike ride there. My bike is too old, I need to get a new one. Luckily (

I just finished watching The Corporation, a movie that one a number of awards at the Toronto Film Festival. It looked interesting when I saw it on NetFlix, and wow. It most definitely was. It made me more fervent in my decision to not shop at Walmart anymore, even if it's cheaper.

(Well, the other town--Graceville, that is.) Yep, Caleb and Luke are gone and settled into their dorms. I drove with Caleb to Lake City on Tuesday, and enjoyed some much needed hanging-outage with EbandAllison, ShannonandCameron, DavidandNina and Ray. Caleb and I ate at The Gathering for the last time (for awhile, anyway), and it was really good. It was really nice seeing everybody and walking

Today feels like it's set on Shuffle. I covered a shift and worked 9 to 11 this morning, now I'm home and just finished taking a shower and eating lunch. My lunch rocked, by the way--roast beef and swiss cheese roll-ups with strawberries on the side and an ice cold glass bottle of cream soda. Oh yeah.

Feeling melancholy tonight. And sad. Although I guess that they both sort of overlap each other. I'm silly, I really shouldn't be this bummed out. Caleb was going to come over after he worked out, but he decided it would be better if he went to Chuck and Sherry's early. He's right, and we already had a fun afternoon together shopping in Jacksonville (I bought him new shoes for his birthday and we
