So. Monday (Labor Day, meaning no internship!) was Tropical Storm Lee, and it knocked out our power for nearly nine hours, and you know what I did? Embroidered. Embroidered like I had no more tomorrows. It was awesome. Usually a day without power is a miserable, muggy experience, but there was zero humidity and a great wind (it's still a little ( Read more... )

Dear LJ,

Just discovered Lady Gaga on my brother's MP3 player. World has turned on its axis.

That is all.

After years of computer usage, my fingers have finally developed the ability to type independently from my brain (which, at this point, is screaming for sleep). Self-actualizing digits are the only reason this entry exists. Not only that, but they feel the need to share the experiences learned from this morning's shift. Let me sum it up for you:

My internship supervisor said, "You should do some production. I'll set you up," and I replied, "Sounds great!"

What he meant was, "You will be doing production for the morning show, which starts at 4:00 A.M. I'll set you up," and what I meant was, "Turn around so I can stealthily crawl out the window and escape ( Read more... )

So this weekend we purchased a new microwave to replace the one that spontaneously stopped working, I did some crafting, and tomorrow the internship starts.

I am trying to be cool about it. (Is it working? Are you convinced?)

At last! I finally got around to photographing The Calendar, which is a result of the six-week printmaking course that just finished up on the 3rd. It was a personal directions course, meaning we get to develop our own projects rather than follow a set criteria, so I decided to make something functional and decorative ( Read more... )

Wow. I had no idea how much stuff I did on LJ before the DDOS attack. Can't post? That's okay, I'll just read... wait, not working, I'll just browse... sigh. I'll just go to bed, then ( Read more... )

On Monday evening, I went to the one place I'll do anything to avoid:

I got it!

Internship starts August 22nd.

(Last night I had to convert a TS_VIDEO folder into a .iso to a .mv4 so I could burn two projects onto a resume DVD, complete with nice menu. I wasn't even sure what to do, but my thanks goes to the hardworking geeks who make free, legitimate software that can convert files. Saved my bum.)

Internship interview in two hours. Am currently cursing linen's wrinkling properties and trying not to overthink.

Unsuccessful so far.
