irony

A co-worker emailed me this last night:

Yes, it’s hilarious, but it’s also really sad….

random rant

So, working out is supposed to be a good thing.
You get healthy, it gives you energy, you get fit etc etc…

Why the hell is it that since I’ve started to go to the gym i feel exhausted all the time?? I thought i’d be energetic!

Sigh…

logos

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Three pretty cool logos, Woori Bank, Light CMS and Obama’s Campaign. I absolutely love how different yet strikingly and undeniably similar these logos are. I have no idea which came first when it comes to these three logos but i would argue that it doesn’t matter. It’s really interesting to have them side by side and see the different approaches to such basic shapes

As a designer one of the many places you look to for inspiration is work by other designers. The key being that your design feel innovative, fresh, clean and if you’re lucky…really cool.

belated valentines day post

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

So, what did i do on my romantic and mushy gushy valentine’s day weekend?
Well, Saturday we played Dante’s Inferno, I went and danced at a club with a friend on saturday night, sunday we played through Dante’s Inferno some more. Then had a nice dinner at our mexican place complete with mariachi’s (playing nuestro juramento thankyouverymuch). And monday we finished Dante’s Inferno. (which btw wasn’t that great…and as a raised catholic, VERY wierd to have the power to absolve people)

I asked Gavin as we were leaving for the restaurant, cause it’s been on my mind, if it’s still ok to be a tomboy at 30. To which he said “yeah that’s why i’m with you.” Apparently he genuinely likes that i don’t wear makeup, never do my hair and that my idea of perfume is body lotion.
Though I feel totally validated and can stop stressing not putting lipstick on like ‘normal’ girls, it still makes me wonder (’cause i’ve been thinking a bit too much recently). It’s not my upbringing, I mean, my sister isn’t like me. She wears stylish clothes, goes shopping every few months maybe (on purpose!), spends more than $10 on a haircut and wouldn’t be caught dead in my ratty combat boots. I wonder why we turned out so different.
Anyhow, hope you had wonderful valentines day! And i hope you all have wonderful partners that never make you feel ‘odd’ for getting a kick out of slicing a demon in half on valentines day.
