sean: my internet is being so slow... i feel like i am on AOL 4.0

Linda & Harriet

i just drew this pattern for Linda & Harriett, a card and stationary company run by the nicest folk who might just win the award for best clients ever. so sweet, so flexible, so helpful. i can't wait to see the finished product.

california: phase two

i'm embracing unemployment*. i'm giving myself deadlines. i'm volunteering to do things i could, later, be getting paid for. i spend too much time chatting on the internet. i'm trying to be an "artist". its weird!! i love it. i can do it, i know it, even when i'm being crazy.

its exciting to know that things are starting to move into whatever is going to end up being the next phase of my life out here on "the left coast". i'm probably already in that phase i just don't realize it yet. here are some things i'm going to work on:
making lists that actually make sense
exploring by foot
purchasing a bike (finally)
drawing more people
cook ALL the produce i purchase

these goals are all very reasonable. also, on a somewhat separate but equally important note, i really think its so dumb when people call it "the left coast" even though i also really like it.


taylor: how is it that there is no money in the entire nation and i still have to pay student loans?


* EDIT: i'm no longer refering to myself as "unemployed." i'm self-employed. i have income.
