So only the elite and proud viewers will know what I am talking about when I say that seeing Ronald VonKleinenstein in "Date Movie" is JUST ABOUT the funniest thing to ever be seen on a screen anywhere in the world.

So, we have preliminary approval for a logo and some other design elements for a job I'm working on. In about a week or so, I'll be able to divulge the details, but until then I'm sworn to secrecy by the owners. I guess it's not really secret, but they don't want buzz about it QUITE yet.

I cannot tell you guys how excited I am for this. It gives me an opportunity to get my name out there, and it also gives me some portfolio work. Granted, my services here are free at the moment, because this is doubling as a school assignment... I DO believe that if this WEREN'T a school environment, and I was charging, they probably would just stick with the designer that they already have. Am I complaining? Not at all... In design, you have to pay your dues, and this is a great means of doing that.

Can you write off recording on your taxes if it's for a school project? I want to say yes... In the same class that I'm doing a report on Billy Corgan, I also have to do a creative project, and I'm thinking about going to a studio with it and releasing it as an EP, cause I adopted the poetic writing style from the class, and feel that I could do something really different. I don't want to make something dumb, or something cliche or related to my major - I have enough design crap to do. We'll see, and I'll talk to the teacher about it this week AND a tax accountant to make sure I can write it off...

Alright, I'm out for now. See ya churrens!

    Yes you can deduct recording costs...if you not only do it for a class but also may at some time be able to sell it. Who is to know, so deduct away. The IRS only cares if you do it with the intent to make money...so if it also satisfies a school project, so much the better.

    Just call me TaxMan. :-)
