Happy 2006! Wow, 2005 went by pretty damn fast.
Didn't do too much for new year's. My sister's friend camille had me and my sisters and their sig others over her house.It was cool. She had waterfront house with a really long dock and it got soo foggy we couldn't see many fireworks across the water but we had our own and lit those off. There was a karoke machine though and after a few drinks, it was used all too well. It was fun. My sister tiffani made me do i will survive and i got way carryed away..I slightly remember heather's flash from her camera so i'm sure that she'll have pictures. Drunk karoke is great fun. Also, I got into a really interesting conversation with camille's husband, lee. The boys were talking in a corner and the girls in another at first but when i saw he had a drafting area i had to pry and asked him if he was an architect. Turns out he is a landscape architect and he should me a bunch of his work. It was soo cool. He told me that landscape architecture isn't all just plants, he also does gates and fountains and all types of exterior design. I guess thinking landscape archiecture is just all about the plants is a common misconception. But yea, he had his drafting table with the parallel bars and this little thing that kept his templates organized as well as this spinny thing for his markers ( he uses prisma color as opposed to pantone). He was just really cool seeing the landscape architects contribution to a design. He had all these elevations in layers on trace paper which is something i do in design school. It's interesting to see how even professionals use the design process that you learn right from the beginning. My sisters were laughing at me while i was engaged in the conversation since they knew that I was sucked in. I love design. It was awesome. And he works on million dollar house around here and makes awesome money. I bet there is good money working here, too bad there is absolutely no way i am moving back here. lol.
Anyways, hope everyone had an awesome new year! I'm leaving for Tallahassee tomorrow. Marc is supposed to be flying in sometime but he has yet to let us ( eduardo,val, and myself) all the details.So, see ya in tally.
