bauhaus

I just finished a bauhaus poster for my type class. Basically, we're recreating type-heavy posters from different art/design movements and then compiling them into a book that we make the last week of class.

It's interesting because I don't know that I'm really all that into this class or this project. It could be worse, and I'm ahead of the game, which is why I'm able to blog in class at the moment. I could work ahead, but then I'd have nothing to do next week, and... well... that would suck. A lot.

On the condo front, there is a light - albeit flickering - but we'll see. I'll talk more about that as it comes about.

On the design front, there isn't much to be said. Still doing the minibar stuff, but looking for other things to throw into the portfolio. That site should be new in the coming weeks, and possibly the new grey as sun site as well. I'm dumbing them down because I feel like when I try, it's trying too hard, and when I just do them, they work better. So be prepped for that :-).

On the personal side, things are good - my weekend was a BLAST - spent a lot of it with my new buddy Brian, who I hope to see more often (although I've seen him quite a bit the last couple weeks, so... I guess "I hope to see him about the same amount" would be the correct way of going about that). Everyone seems to be in a good place at the moment, and things are looking up - summer is upon us, as is my beard and longer hair (I do it backwards, grow out the hair and beard when it's warm, trim it up when it's cool - dunno why).

It JUST started raining outside. Makes me glad that I drove today - I hate waiting for the bus when it's raining, and then dealing with idiots who don't know how to close an umbrella on the bus. I suppose we're all guilty of it, but it's still annoying.

I'm writing more lyrics and hoping to get an acoustic EP out soon - Brian (mentioned earlier) has stuff I can use to mic stuff well right into my computer. My equipment has all but disappeared and/or broken in some fashion, so that will be a nice break. I only have 4 songs that I feel are complete. More get written, and I think they're done, but then I hate them a couple weeks later. This is why I need people to write with - it's hard to bounce ideas off yourself and keep an open mind for each part - cause in your head, it's one way - and you can't get another persons take without... another person!

I guess I should get going. Have a good rest of the rainy day - go out and run around in it, then makeout with someone you love! Just make sure I'm there to yell "GET A ROOM" when you do it...

xoxo
