Since going or canceling my plans for San Diego Comic Con didn't affect my financial situation either way, I went. I had a great time visiting with my peeps from the south west and west coast who also attend. I managed to get into some good panels and also missed a few (Walking Dead and Game of Thrones). The lines seemed even longer than usual, ( Read more... )

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I got back from visiting my sister, BIL and tiny nieces late last night. I was feeling kinda tired, so I decided to wait until this morning to tackle the art director items on my list I didn't have time to complete before I left for the holiday. I got a lot done, but there's still a few time intensive tasks ( Read more... )

I've been busy working on the revisions to last week's project for my next graphic design class. I have a freelance gig that starts tomorrow, so I wanted to get as much done as possible, in case I need to focus on work over the weekend. I've made good progress these last couple of days, so I should be ready to present my updated design on Monday ( Read more... )

I had a great time visiting chanel19 and flamingcarrot in D.C. for Thanksgiving! The bus was late getting back because of traffic in Delaware and the crazy long line to get to the Lincoln Tunnel. It wasn't unexpected, though. Sunday night at the end of a holiday weekend was bound to be full of traffic issues. I had plenty of books to read and bottled water, so it was ( Read more... )

Not much going on here. Another week spent in the Flash CS4 book I bought and the weekend in another photoshop CS4 book I bought a few months ago. I'm on chapter 8 of the Flash book, but I might split my time between that and the one I have for InDesign and some O'Reilly tech webcasts next week ( Read more... )

My niece was born in Copenhagen yesterday afternoon, but I didn't get a picture from my brother until this morning! My SIL and the baby are doing well, but they haven't decided on a name yet. I'm guessing my brother brought her laptop to the hospital, because she posted a different picture to facebook this morning ( Read more... )

I finally made it home from Copengagen (via Brussesls) on Friday afternoon, as the two previous direct flights I'd been scheduled to take on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning were both canceled. The airline says my bag will arrive from Brussels on a flight scheduled to land at JFK this afternoon, but won't be delivered until tonight or tomorrow ( Read more... )

Because that's when I'll have recovered from the jet lag. I've had a good visit with my brother and SIL, and now it's time to head back to NYC. There are a couple of jobs I want to apply for, and hopefully I'll have some interviews scheduled in the next couple of weeks ( Read more... )

I got back from visiting tanrinia last night later than I planned because of an equipment problem on the plane. I was able to get booked on a new flight on a different airline, and my luggage was transferred with me. I had a couple of extra hours to wait, but I had a few tv shows on my computer and a book, so I didn't have a chance to get bored. I wish ( Read more... )

I had a great trip! I returned to find out both my cable and internet were out. I was able to book a same-day appointment, so I was back online late yesterday afternoon. I ended the day on a high note, since the cds I ordered with my cc reward points also arrived. I have new music with zero impact on my budget. Sweet ( Read more... )
