My J is L Again!
WOO! MY BRAIN HAS RETURNED TO MY HEAD!
I wasn't going to continue this journal. After the last year and a half, having a job where I was representing RB in business suits and fancy shoes and stayed at work til 9pm most nights and had a monitor that just glooowed towards my boss's boss's office, I decided I had to refrain from armpit-fart jokes and what else do I ever talk about in this journal? But NO MORE! Because starting in a few weeks I am officially...
THE BOOK DESIGNER FOR :01 GRAPHIC NOVELS!
So so crazy since I didn't even apply for the job, but while they were without designers I had to do a few ad designs for them, and the head of the imprint went craaaaazy over a few I made. I think it was like the part in the looney toons where somebody's head looks like a buttery-turkey-noggin, only this time I LOOKED like a piece o' silly puddy, one that was sorta cool but you KNOW will be much cooler after you put a picture of KING ID on it and stretch that little cartoon man out while yelling quotes from THE ELEPHANT MAN...um...what was my point again? Oh yeah! Mark saw me as someone with natural design eye he could mold, and it helped that I knew and LOOOVE all the books already. Do you know them? YOU SHOULD! http://firstsecondbooks.com
Though truth be told I think the REAL reason he hired me was he was impressed by my high-five skills. I mean who WOULDN'T BE. It is the first thing on my current resume. Actually I think I might reedit it to be the ONLY THING on my current resume. Also, SCREW RESUMES I HAVE MY DREAAAM JOB! I am going to start to write my name all over my notebook pretending I got married to this job.
Seriously.
I fear I am going to ruin all my new business cards by making out with them.
I felt all sorts of "there is no hope for the future (insert sci-fi music here)" these last few years. But now I am single (though still good friends with the awesome Mikey), have a swell green-painted apartment, about to start a new job, AND about to distribute fake beards to the masses!
LUMBERJACK DAY is upon us! This friday night the Black Rabbit Bar is hosting a party where I am giving out free beards and mini-axes and pancakes! I've been redesigning the site like crazy this week, and it's AMAZING...
WHAT I WANT FROM YOU (other than a welcome back high-five)!
-send me any lumberjack-y related tutrials, drinks, recipes, or JOKES and I'll totally post them on the site!
(joke page is still not live, but check out these gems! http://lumberjackday.net/celebrate/howto/jokes)
-COME CELEBRATE WITH ME! Festivities start at 7pm and the bar is the BLACK RABBIT at 91 Greenpoint Ave. in Brooooklyn, but we'll be there all night! Seriously I miss you guys come out and celebrate our ridiculous invented holiday!
-SPREAD THE WORD, WERD! Go out for pancakes or waffles with your friends or just use this as an excuse to stop bleaching your facial hair ladies. If I could grow it, you know damn well I would! Also feel free to JOIN THE FACEBOOK group and stuff!
-PANCAKES VIA POSTAL CARRIER! You HAVE to see this tutorial a swell Fluff Radio fan made! It's an LLA! Hey, remember those?!
Okay, now to fill in the gap of six months worth of posts...Where I have been in photo form!
First off, it's a me meme. That "Take a picture of yourself right now. Don't change your clothes. Don't fix your hair. Do not collect $200." Thing.
I wasn't sure how to tell you guys this, but I look so short in this because I lost both of my legs in a surgery attempt to make me look more like those cute 1/2 horses I love in the petting zoo. Oh yeah, and I use a side monitor as well.
I've been driving a bus!
I've been hiding out in tip of the Flatiron building! I work in the building now. That office very soon will belong to a woman who could crush me with a SNAP of her children's book icon fingertips.
I fell for and then almost moved to Buffalo for one of these fellas! (Luckily he cruuushed my insides, so no moving to Buffalo for me!) Strangely enough it's NOT the guy in spandex for once.
I went to California and watched my friend Annie sniff a lot of trees!
I got the coolest bruise/Dog BITE ever!
I got my toilet stolen! (long story, click on this bad boy for the full thing!)
I found out my tattoo is going to be featured in THIS BOOK:
I wrote my first CONTRACTED BOOOOOOK! Actually it's a graphic novel for 3rd graders which is ridiculously silly and will feature a character that you'll likely recognize! Granted you'll have to wait until 2010 to recognize 'um, but still. I don't know who the artist is yet, but I have my fingers crossed about a few possibilities...oooh
Where I will be in the future:
Or at least if all goes well with the second surgery. Woo!
