Scrabulous!

As if I didn't have enough distractions already.

Portfolio? What's that? By myself?

That's what I was thinking when I actually got a call today (or since it's almost 5am, yesterday) from a potential employer who wants to interview me for a Jr. Designer position. He said "Bring an extra copy of your resume. Oh and your portfolio of course."

Gulp.

I sent them my portfolio website so why do they need a book too? Ahhh so I had to make one, and I can't believe I did it all by myself! No Greg, no Melissa, and no Adam- and it's so late I couldn't even call them. I'm really tired, but I'm so glad I told this guy I would interview tomorrow because it FORCED me to get this thing done that I've been avoiding all summer. I'm thiiiiiis close to finishing and I really hope I don't fuck it up at this point. I stayed up all damn night. This guy is going to think I'm sleepwalking into his office.

But on a better note: Could it be I'm capable of doing things myself? This actually gives me a bit of confidence walking into this interview. I think I just might finally be ready to work.

Sigh.

A Visual Representation of your hard drive

So my Macbook pro just told me that I'm running out of space and need to delete some stuff, and ended up stumbling upon this "Disk Inventory" application. It visually shows you through colored squares exactly how much space each file, folder, and application take up on your hard drive. You can just click and delete from here. So easy to use! I highly recommend it:

Brooklyn Indie Market!

WOW! Someone needs to go to this with me! Located on Smith St at Union St in Cobble Hill Brooklyn, The Brooklyn Indie Market is held every weekend from May to December and includes twenty independent designers selling their own stuff from clothing to home goods to pet gear.

Go to the site and check out the designers. I like Liz Shaw's "rockin" handbags and the neat hats from Rocks and Salt. If you're an aspiring designer you can contact them about getting a booth.

Who's coming with me? Next weekend maybe? Hmmmmm?

Andy Pratt Design

Andy Pratt Design makes some really fun greeting cards! Great funny quirky little illustrations. I want em!

Nevada's Finest

This site with Comedy Central links has wasted sooooo much of my time lately, but specifically the Reno 911 clips. Lately I've found these clips especially funny because of all the time I've been spending with my friend who works as an NYPD officer in the ghetto of Brooklyn.

Cartographismes

I love love love maps. They are so beautiful. When I visited the Vatican museum there was a whole corridor of maps which pretty much served as a waiting area until the crowd gets up to the really famous artwork. It quite possibly might have been the most interesting part of the museum for me.

I found this blog by of...artwork? maps? both? It's all in French so I can't read it but it doesn't matter because the images are so interesting. A few of these resemble Jackson Pollock paintings, but they are all pretty different. I believe they are all from the same artist, but I can't find an author on this blog.

Little Becky

This little girl is so funny. She's on an Irish radio program and makes prank phone calls. I think I just love her little Irish accent.
