Cindy will relate to this one, it reminds me of the Flip the Bird feature from Kodak Sweden (I think that’s where it was from). I was reviewing a portfolio today for a German designer. He had links to his digital work and links to his traditional fine art work. The label for the latter one? "Hand Job".

My mom is coming to visit me in a few weeks. She’s actually coming to buy stuff for the house they’re building. Originally, she was only going to Miami but I convinced her to come here instead. I need to start cleaning my house now. Everything is such a mess!

ouch
I had my first session with the personal trainer this morning. My muscles are still tired. I’m soooooo out of shape!

I’m one of those people who hates cutesy ring tones on cell phones. I once shared an office with a designer who had the worst ring tones on her phone. And it was the kind that would get progressively louder with each ring. Well, I have now crossed over to the other side. Apparently, everyone now has the same cell phone I have. And it has become increasingly harder to be able to tell when my phone is ringing. So I’ve decided to go native.

I have this work thing on Saturday at SFMOMA. It’s a celebration for finishing this year’s release. The party sounds great but I hate these coupley affairs when I have no one to bring. Most of the guys I date wouldn’t make suitable dates for work things. So my married Italian friend said he would go with me. And he’s the perfect Plus One. He’s tall and handsome and super smart and charming. But I have to wonder: “Is it worse to show up to a work thing alone or with your happily married but temporarily single (his wife is in Italy for the Summer) friend?”

bug bite
I think that I got bit by a spider on my left index finger. It’s itches like hell and it’s swollen and it’s driving me crazy. Help!

Are You Ready!

I decided to hire one. I just can’t seem to get motivated to work out anymore. I was doing really well and exercising every day until my trip to Brasil. Then I came back, it got hot and I just couldn’t work out in my garage anymore (where the treadmill is). So I used that as my excuse. For the past 3 months. And now it’s time to get back on that treadmill!

We moved at work. From the second floor to the first floor. There goes my daily stairs workout. Anyway, now I have a window office so I was able to get my plants back. My office is pretty jungley now. I finally feel at home again.
