Typestudies for my new Editorial project.

Rainy Saturdays are for doing homework in bed. Also, living at the top of a big hill reassuring.

I’m done.

This is how my desktops are supposed to look.

This Identity Systems project has been eating my RAM

This week has been AWESOME, and next week is promising to be even MORE AWESOMER (yeah, I just used “more awesomer” in a sentence and meant it). I am on my second night (day?) of not sleeping—as in, I haven’t slept since Friday night. It’s pretty cool though. I mean, there are a lot of advantages to never sleeping—like not having to worry about pajamas.. and um… yeah… the pajamas thing for sure.

I have class tomorrow from 8:00am-1:00, 2:00-7:00, and 7:00-10:00pm (13-hours-but-who’s-counting), and I’m having a lot of trouble accepting that it’s Sunday night (ok, Monday morning). Somehow in the course of the day I have to magically make it into the model shop to vacuform completely new packaging (which is an incredibly long and devastating story, but I am choosing to take the high road and not complain to the internet-at-large), start and finish roughly three weeks of Identity Systems homework—which has been on hold while I tried to get my packaging finished for midterms—and do something-or-other for Ocean Science. Oh, and did I mention scholarship review is on Wednesday?

I’ve decided to offer up my workload as a condolence for anyone feeling overwhelmed about their own work. I have come to the very unsettling conclusion that it will be an absolute MIRACLE if I can pull this term off—and I don’t mean normal, Amelia-style pulling it off, I mean having somethinanything to turn in on week 14. I think I have been frustrated / exhausted to tears three times today, and the night is relatively and unfortunately young. It’s not even a question of getting to sleep anymore—it’s about praying to (a TBD) god that I can get enough done to have a chance in (a TBD) hell of getting to sleep tomorrow night. My theory is that it will be terribly difficult to fall asleep standing up—especially while TAing—but my body has been pulling some pretty impressive maneuvers lately. I haven’t been to bed earlier than 3:00am in weeks and weeks, and I can’t remember the last time I got more than four hours of sleep… That’s on the nights I actually GOT to sleep, of course.

Dwayne the bathtub, I’m DWOWWWNING!

Edit: I just spent 25 minutes trying to figure out why my selection tool in Illustrator wasn’t working… View > show bounding box. How embarrassing. When my Adobe programs seem to have developed minds of their own, it’s probably time to sleep.

This is an educational screen capture, for someone who needed help with facing pages.

I found the program from Inspector Hound (higschool play) on an old flash drive and had a laugh.

Oh yeah, this is actually happening.

(Kelsey and I have Ms. Benatar stuck in our heads..it’s amazing how well that song embeds itself into your brain)

Getting ready for more fun with Jan.

Packaging process book times

I would like to point out that it’s November and 90 degrees.
