DIRTY LAUNDRY #5 (holy geez, it's already been 5 weeks!)
how many weeks long is this exactly? 13 weeks?
k almost at half way and i feel like lots of good value about taking work seriously has grounded itself into my self...although it is better said than done. i am doing a pretty good job at not being a fuck up.
but.
i do feel like i need to get started on some sort of independent project. i've had my own independent projects. one such example is i've taken up dancing! a hip hop dance class with a cocky bastard for a teacher. but he can move.
but yeah, independent projects. gotta wait for that reply from louise, or keep buggin her so she'll i'm lucky that they are so busy with production now (we just got a big order from a high end childrens boutique in chicago!). one) because it means they are growing and puts everyone in great moods and makes for great conversations! two) because then i REALLY get a feel for the production side of things. this was the part that i always liked! so i think i'm pretty happy doing it so far. even if i don't seem like it. cutting does get kinda tiring, physically tiring. there is a lot going on right now which makes for new tasks everyday! the time passes by quite nicely when you can eat a good salad, drink some tea and watch the construction workers building things all day and it's pretty inspiring to see that they don't have a completely finished project by the end of the day, just like us! i always wanted to be a crane operator.
the display windows were arranged on saturday morning, and i walked by them on sunday evening, sans camera. but i'll get one this paycheck and i'll send you guys some pictures! the displays look awesome and 2 days after they were put up... someone broke the window with the "muck" children's tee. too bad about how cynical we can be about society and economic imbalances; since the first shared thoughts were ones about drunks who rhyme words with "muck" and crackheads who react to the comical giant plastic ice cream cones that surround the children's tee in the display! who knows what happened, it just really sucks that it did.....
the ladies are getting ready to go to the ENK Children's Club Show in NYC from March 13-15 and that is also taking up a lot of their energies right now.... too bad i couldn't go with them, you know.. to see what it's like at bigger shows than edmonton. i think the next trade show i ever go to will have to be in new york. i won't settle for anything less! way to set my goals to attainable places! heh....
as for now, i've just been doing my own, casual, research as to what else exists for children's wear (SIDENOTE: funny, i found a company today that makes socks called "little missmatched"; a few semesters ago i did a project like d-knstrktd except it was new designs out of vintage clothes for children called "liddle miss matched!"); keep on building on my mental persona of who the dirty laundry covetting market is; and looking for back ups to my independent project if louise never writes back! i'm sure she'll write back.
SIDENOTE: i was talking to my friend Brandy B on msn, discussing that we are both graduating this year!

Brandy-Joy says:
you are probably sick of this question, but what are your plans when you're officially graduated
Brandy-Joy says:
?
eme says:
heh.. i'm only sick of it cos i don't know the answer
Brandy-Joy says:
perfect answer.. I feel quite the same way....
eme says:
that's what has been plaguing me since i got here. and i just want to be at my best.. and i don't feel like i am because i don't have that confidence of what to do.
Brandy-Joy says:
I really don't think it's a confidence thing, we are both really strong ladies
Brandy-Joy says:
but I know what you mean
Brandy-Joy says:
The only thing I'm 100% sure of these days is that this summer my dad and I with the help of lots of other people are going to build a sustainable house on his property
Brandy-Joy says:
crazy but true
eme says:
you are amazing brandy...
eme says:
i should be sketching pictures of you
the last line is because there is a large sketch of me in the fine arts building that brandy did as part of her series of sketches "people who inspire me". blow me away. of all the sketches she did, i am the one up there. man, i know some exceptionally wonderful people...
