It's hard to write

2009-04-25T21:19:00.000-07:00

of your exciting life in the big city

when you spend your days on Craigslist

a blessing and a curse.

Writing and rewriting

resume after resume

cover letter after cover letter

for jobs you don't even want

Eventually, something gives

I'm currently freelancing,

balancing 3 part time jobs

Waiting to hear back from another

and about to apply to the one I really want

with a great reference

I haven't been ignoring you. It's just that... I've been busy.

With work, my portfolio, and life in general.

I have however seen some cool things...
Like the Extra Action Marching Band @ The Independent, and Themselves @ the Apple Store.

Oh! And the Apple Store gave me a new 1st Gen iPhone to replace mine which was acting up.
My warranty was up 3 months ago.

I ♥ Apple.

RIP Beta Fish

2009-02-19T03:12:00.001-08:00

One more for the dead pet collection.

The beta fish, whom remained nameless due to his short life expectancy, has passed away.

In an attempt to revive him an early morning trip to the Safeway for some tap water Solution was made.
Alas it was too late.
He was taken back to the ocean from which he came.

Approximate time of death. 2:50AM.

My Roommates response to the news his only pet had passed...
"Oh well, another one bites the dust."

Pillow Fight Feet
Originally uploaded by Venus Minerva

I shot the Great San Francisco Pillow Fight on Saturday for napkinnights.com.

Rule #5 was don't hit people with cameras. But alas, I got pelted a plenty. One particularly hard blow came by way of a drive-by skateboarder who got me while I was on the phone in the middle of the street. My first thought is who do I have to kill... then I began cracked up hysterically after realizing what happened... then I watched my back.

Cheap = Trendy

2009-02-15T21:17:00.000-08:00

I'm officially a trendy San Franciscan. Or at least I fit in.

I drink PBR.

Because SF is expensive and PBR is not.

*For you non, or more refined drinkers, that's Pabst Blue Ribbon, a very cheap beer available everywhere in the city, usually for the cost of the last $2 in your wallet... tip not included.

How does it feel?

2009-01-19T10:33:00.000-08:00

How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

AWESOME
