Damn you electronics!

So my Powerbook power cord blew again.  And in the middle of working so I had to drive the hour to the Apple Store and buy a new one. meh.
Now the light on the latch that indicates sleep is either constantly on while the computer is awake or blinking erratically.  Awesome!  No word on how [...]

I also [...]

It goes on

Well now I am 27.
I have decided to start my search for a full time design job. I thought freelancing was the way to go for awhile, but I just don’t think it is for me. Too much book keeping, quote making, client hand holding, not enough creative or design. Unfortunately it seems there are [...]

4) Adopted the baby bunnies Henri Monique Picard Quatorze and
Basil Saxon King’s Meadow Thames
5) Got laid off from my job that I loved

Those F-ing Lean Cuisine Commercials.

They make me nuts! First you have two women either lamenting how they have to diet, even thought they are thin thin thin they want to be thin thin thin thin I guess? or are afraid of becoming ZOMG FAT because the obesity epidemic is eating thin people and making them fat? Or the two [...]
