what a horrible ride back, the bus was freezing, and i got yelled at in chinese a bunch of times!! They weren't really yelling, but they sounded so mean. i did basically understand what they wanted, one lady came on board and asked for tickets, i inferred this because she made a little speech and then everyone got their tickets out (thanks for ( Read more... )

I went to the Project Runway Tryouts on Monday and almost got myself fired from my pseudo job. I was waiting in line for five hours!! Finally I got to the front and apparently I am not interesting enough to be on tv. That's okay, I would probably just make a fool of myself anyway, in a drunken stupor on national tv, and shame myself beyond any ( Read more... )

So I just found out that an (we'll say ex) friend of mine got married and didn't invite me to the wedding. The last time I talked to her was last June when I told I was leaving Virginia (possibly forever) and I wanted to hang out with her one last time. I guess she didn't have time ( Read more... )

So I always go to this place called Ginger's for lunch during work, because it's right downstairs and they have pretty cheap lunch specials. It's actually like a nice restaurant but they have 5-6 dollars entrees and for happy hour they have 3 drinks (awesome ( Read more... )

Yesterday I rode in the elevator with Hip Hop mogul Russel Simmons. I must admit I was a little star struck. But he didn't say anything. Just stood there quietly listening to his Ipod while his Bodyguard (?Iguess?) flirted with a young Phat farm employee ( Read more... )

Jason and I went to Chinatown for some of the Chinese New Years Festivities. We went to some Chinese bakeries and had some cream filled pastries, and watched the parade and had dinner. It is now the year of the dog so they also were walking dogs through the streets, dressed in little asian outfits. So cute! Anyway, here are some pics we took on ( Read more... )

So I didn't get the job at the last interview I went to because the lady said my portfolio wasn't geared enough towards CAD work. Well this is basically what she was looking for so I whipped something up real quick to put in my portfolio to show that I can do it.
