lately

Three little birds, sat on my window.
And they told me I don't need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet

well its officially sweatshirt/sweater weather... ummm YES! i have always loved fall and everything about it, halloween being the most wonderful part but back to school shopping, indian summer nights, getting hurricane-d on last thursday while waiting for the j.. haha everything's wonderful. but really. made of list of things i need to redesign my portfolio and to get rid of old work, so im starting on that this week, which should be refreshing. been applying a lot, haven't heard much but just feel like its a matter of time. been riding kiel's bike around, while i wait to pay for chelseas and get it from brock. everything else has been low key, i made baked ziti and homemade pizza this week, both really awesome. thinking taco's next. went out to queens center mall yesterday a quite ridiculous adventure, a little unnecessary but kiel got halo. got some la burrito and budweiser.. per usual. ooh new glasses and contacts this week... yesss.

f-fa-faile

dun dun dunnnnn.. so its august. le sigh. i feel like the summer is winding down, and theres still a few things i would like to do...boo boo. at least kiel and i made it to the beach, not sure thats gonna happen again for a while. so i am applying to the ps1 moma internship program with all fingers crossed, its the only things that stands between me and the real world at this point. kiel started his new job yesterday, which is exciting considering hes been chilling for a little too long.. we were supposed to go to the mad decent block party in philly saturday but i ended up loosing my voice so that didnt happen... been working on a wall piece for roasting plant, i developed a cute little character and everything that of course they nixed at the last moment, so now im doing this boring diagram whomp whomp. whatever. i need a new job anyway. thinking about heading to chicago in september need new glasses and contacts... and some quiet time with evan, john and natalie.its been a while. nothing else is really that new..blah blah. brunch with ana later this morning, weeee.

but i really love love love faile.

me me me me me

its all about me, time time

been smoking too many cigarettes
not enough greeen
been drinking enough
been working but not enough
been sleeping but not enough alone
been alone but not enough
had enough of certain people
and not enough of others
been lazy but too much to be enough
been biking around and around biking
been watching too much hulu with kiel and steve,
way too much far past enough,
been hiding these unsettling emotional lapses,
with enough to keep everyone still smiling,
been talking too much to evan, but never enough,
been abandoning life because i like theirs better,
listening too much smashing pumpkins and not
enough ninjasonik, but it enoughs
enough, enough, enough,
its all about me me me

give me that face

i think these faces say it all.. CUTE that is. it makes me miss my pup. i cant wait for our cuddle session a week from now..

with that said.. time is coming and going, and im floating along. i dont have much to say these days, i guess all i really have to say is caught somewhere in my head, and i seem to be unable to articulate my feelings. so dont mind my blubbering. but i realized this weekend, that a move may be in order for june, kels hasn't got into any of the doctoral programs she applied to and i honestly dont really plan on getting a serious gd gig until the fall, so my money might need to be saved for honey, aka festivals, traveling and post-college relaxing. im so torn, i like my apartment but its too expensive and the lack of cleanliness on others parts are starting to get me down. i am excited to surprise attack mom in dad in almost exactly a weeek. yay. i have never kept a secret like this from them for this long, and its so exciting. in other news, this weekend was good.. :). thesis is moving, not nearly as fast as it should, packaging and exhibition are going along too. came up with my new identity which can be seen a few posts down. yay. all i constantly feel is just the FUCKING ITCH TO GRADUATE ALREADY.. tminus 2 months. woooooo.

if i had to package myself, i would call these designers

so i started working on my packaging design projects, so of course i fell in love with these and feel the need to share. the project is to design a logo/box for a fictional imperial gardens tea line, called "taste of.." china, india and england. amad and i were talking of doing wes anderson inspired boxes, i already think my packaging design style is close to his but now, im gonna turn it up a notch.. then i got the idea to do a design based on window styles from these places.. i have done 9 of 30 thumbnails so i think i have so more space to explore. also came up with the theme of my thesis. i have picked 14 brooklynites to map, i will discuss and research their lives in brooklyn, and they are 14 completely different people so it should be interesting.

*side note, did i mention i got a job... the roasting plant on greenwich ave, near two boots on w. 12th. yay. going to fill out paper work sunday, then lunch with ana at the risotteria monday.. im falling back into the west village.. and ironically i went to the magnolia at rockefeller today for a cupcake cause there wasn't a line, saw nima and ousemon.. so weird its been two years since i quit. and happy i did. but gotta go, got be up at 6 for the commute.

in the name of love.

so valentines day is quicky approaching so instead of putting up people i love, i am going to share things i cant get enough of. simple as that. here we go.. so my obsession with bunnies is in full bloom, even to the fact that over break, i seriously considered getting a bunny! they are just soo fucking cute and fluffy. okay, i still want one. robyn's roger rabbit, would be it's name no matter male or female.. love. the paper flowers shown here are from some event coordinator's portfolio, aren't they soo precious. it reminds me of the semi-hideous flower strings i made for anthro a couple of weeks ago, these are truly amazing. the wooden heart dish, duh. ohhh a new find, these collaged diamonds, i should make a series out of paper for my wall aren't they gorgeous, maybe i should suggest these to a future fiance as a prefectly cute proposal for someone like me, who won't support the diamond trade. cute right? and last but seriously not least, the japanese colored tape. i saw them when i was in london and in switzerland, soo cute. the colors are simply amazing, kinda like the colors on the marc jacobs rainbow zipper necklace, CAN NOT GET ENOUGH. sigh, there pretty expensive but as soon as i get paid, these will be delivered.. by my stalker post man who saw me half naked this morning, like the two other times he's come, i rush out of bed to answer the door, and cant ever seem to find enough clothing to put on so my oversized top is always falling down.. geez.

take me there.

this post is mainly just some inspiration i have found around lately. my map studies are coming well, but isn't the white screenprinted map just beautiful. thinking i need to locate a place to screen print soon. found this crazy chicago neighborhood map today too, which i need to encorporate into my project somehow.. we'll see. and the gold die cut page from that book!!! what i need to find this book pronto.. seriously love the color choices and the medium, i mean damn. and the little wall of abstractions, love.
