where the heck did the title bar go?

monday morning at work. its pretty quiet around here. i have to say its nice. i've been so busy here i've managed to fly through six weeks doing what i love to do best. setting type. ok i do more than that. it really is a beautiful thing though. i've recently developed dream sequences all based on kerning and various type treatments. i feel that my subconscious is trying to tell me something. gone are the dreams of running through fields, my arms extended to meet my hot lover..(ok i never had dreams like that, but i'm a bit disappointed in my dreams nonetheless).

i can't tell you how amazing it feels to step outside of yourself and see that your life is changing. i live in NYC. crazy. well brooklyn. crazy. interning at a design firm in NYC. crazy. they actually let me do real work. crazy!

and soon spring arrives... i really don't want to leave this place. and i'm still convinced a sweet old man is going to see some sparkle in my eye and hand over his $400/month, 2-bedroom apartment in the village to me because i smiled at him on the subway. ahhh. my dreams are back! later.

here we go...

my first attempt 3/3/06

so i've been meaning to set this up for a couple of weeks now and i was finally nudged to do so by hank, himself. apparently he knows how forgetful i am and that i may not be able to call upon my new york experiences for references if i need to. thanks hank! its a bit chilly out this evening and lucky for me the wind was at my back pushing me home like a brooklyn tumbleweed. i've just wrapped up my third week (really??) at carbone smolan and i am looking forward to the weekend so i can hibernate and get back to my healthy self. it seems as though i've caught a bit of a nasty cold and am too proud to call in sick. i still can't believe i'm living in new york. any fear i had that i was too southern to handle the freezing winters up here are silenced, i'm pretty proud to say i can take it.
