After coming home and crashing at 8 for a few hours before I needed to get up to pack and be at the airport, I had the most tastiest dream. I was eating a huge piece of strawberry shortcake that revealed this awesome blue robot. I remember swapping out an arm for a longer one and seeing this futuristic traffic scene from my window. It was so bizarre.

And now, I should finish getting ready. I have to leave to the airport in an hour and a half. ugh.

needles like body antennas

Has anyone ever done acupuncture before? I made an appointment on Monday but am scared shitless. I have a huge fear of needles and the thought of lying there awake while tons of thin gauge needles get smacked into me does not sit well. Any words to help calm my nerves? Any past experiences? CALM ME DOWN PEOPLE, come on!!!

Besides that, things are alright. Just working like crazy on this thing with my bro and finishing up a design project that has been on the table for far too long (clients fault, not mine). I can't wait to be done with this and then be done for a while. I think I'm going to take a little break and try to actually enjoy my evenings and leave them free for a few months. I recall saying something like this for the past 8 months or so, but yeah, this time I really need to do it. I need ME time, damnit!

Ok, back to work I go.

Went to the Cannibal Flower 7th year anniversary show last night and ended up buying this painting. The image is horrible and I'll take a better one when I pick it up next week at the end of the show, but yay!! I'm so excited! I think this is the first piece of art I've ever purchased ever (not including prints and stuff).

i have to work tonight, and all i want to do is see a movie. Some of the boys are going to see King of Kong tomorrow. As much as I'd love to join them, I already have a date (the one and only jen-o-rator) to that movie on Sunday. We plan on eating soba and seeing it at the Nuart. I can't wait!! I've been wanting to see this movie forever.

I am still debating if to go see Rocket Science tonight. There is a 7:40 showing and a 10 p.m. showing. If I see the 7:40, I might come home and actually work. If I work until the 10 one, I fear I'll just want to pass out instead. I just hate going to the movies alone. I need a movie buddy in the Encino area pronto.

Any takers?

Not much has happened. I did the Craftivism event on Sunday, but didn't really have much to sell. I opted to work for an old client on Saturday for a few hours to cover the expenses I spent on the booth and may or not have made on selling stuff. It was still fun nonetheless. Here are some pictures!

pc/mac conversion help!

Wed, 18 Jul 2007 14:42:20 GMT

Oh yeah, does anybody have any idea how to read/convert .pbf and .pbm files on a mac to ttf so they can actually be usable fonts?

This is when Ayelet feels sick from not only playing God of War 2 last night for an ungodly amount trying to redo this one part that frustrated the hell out of her (yes, I am referring to myself in the third person right now), but it's also when she ends up working until about 4 in the morning, only to awake 2.5 hours later. Today should be interesting to say the least. I hope I make it through ok. After work, it's back to my brother's for more refining an more designing.

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 03:05:21 GMT

I will be uber broke for the next few months and happy in about ~~4-6~~ 7 weeks. Fuck, that's a long time away.

I NEED HELP!! PC vs. MAC . round one .

So I'm thinking of getting a laptop. I've been wanting one/needing one for a long time, but I find the want desire growing more so as of late. Not sure if the need is actually growing too much. I'll be doing a bit of traveling soon and I like the idea of being able to work on the road. The dilemma lies in do I finally get another mac (after about a decade of not using one) and get the new macbook pro that makes me drool, or do I stick to a pc? I'm assuming the pc would cost me a lot less than the $3k I would have to shell out for the apple, but I just don't know. Ugh!!

LET THE DEBATE BEGIN!!

Thu, 07 Jun 2007 23:44:54 GMT

I need to buy an old movie theatre in Los Angeles. Any ideas?

JEN CALL ME!!!!

That is all.

I had an awesome weekend! More to follow later when I actually have a moment to sit down and write about it.

But thanks to everyone is all I gotta say!

In your face 30!

Tue, 15 May 2007 21:05:14 GMT

haha. So I went to Whole Foods to get some lunch (since it's a block away from work) and one of the employees comes up to me in the isle and is all "I'm sorry to bother you, but I just have to tell you, you are an absolutely gorgeous woman." He then blushes and walks away. That so made my day!

I went to see my friends' sketch comedy show last night which was awesome. What a way to start their new season. After the show we all went to some bar on Ventura and they got me a couple birthday drinks and sang me happy birthday once midnight hit. It was actually really nice. They took one of the oil lamps on the table and made me make a wish and blow it out. hehe. No real plans until the evening. I'm going with my family for dinner to Little Tokyo for sushi and can't wait! It should be good times. I know I shouldn't work on my birthday, but I need to spend today finishing off this Unicef stuff. I just want it to be done with already. It's sucking the living soul out of me and needs to be shot in the head and buried.

Here's to 30. Hopefully it will be a good one.

Fri, 11 May 2007 16:37:33 GMT

Oh wow! My good friend Joe just bought me a year subscription for Gamefly for my birthday! I'm still in awe. He told me to expect the boys over a lot more for multi-player action. Good times will be had. Wee!!

I'm wicked sick and I can't sleep. I've been wandering the house feeling like shit since 6:30 this morning. I have so much to do and don't feel like doing any of it.

So I've never submitted anything for a design competition or anything of the sorts, but I'm hoping if the book gets printed by the June 1st deadline, I might want to enter it. Who knows.

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 17:57:04 GMT

Ok, so I initially wanted to travel somewhere out of the country for my birthday, do something awesome and special and get the hell outta dodge, so-to-speak. Well, that idea got blown to smithereens when I got this job since I can't take the time off (and will be taking off a week in July). So I figure what better way to do it then get in my car (which I desperately need to get new tires and fix my brakes), and drive somewhere. I'm hoping to go for 3 days, that way I can take a day off work and leave Thursday evening and return Sunday night. I just want to see some stuff that's out there and take a long road trip by myself, or maybe with another person...maybe. I got this book last night of weird things to see in California. I figure since I'm here, maybe I should go exploring. I've always wanted to go to the Winchester house, maybe rent a cabana on a beach somewhere and relax and draw. Who knows. I don't think it's bad to want to be alone, I just want something out of the ordinary, out of my house and away from clients and work and school for a few days. It's coming up quickly, so I don't have much time too plan.

I'm looking for ideas/suggestions, if anybody has any.

note to self:

I need to actually start doing the things on my lists. Making them isn't enough.

Fri, 13 Apr 2007 13:30:18 GMT

Yesterday was insane. So it's been insanely windy here. We lost power in both our buildings at work, had people trapped in the elevators, I had to walk up 11 flights of stairs to help a gentleman up, then back down, then back up to the 12th floor to put notices in every elevator lobby, then back down, then up 4 flights in the building next door and back down and then up 6 again here. I think I overfilled my exercise quota for the day. Not to mention back down 6 flights to get the mail. I opted for the "take at your own risk" elevator ride up after all that. Took them back down 6 flights to go to class.

I sit in traffic for a while, get to class only to find all parking entrances are blocked off, but no explanation why. I finally get in and some kid walking to his class tells me campus is closed and all classes have been cancelled since the power outage took out the whole campus. Why the fuck couldn't they have put a sign saying campus closed on the damn signs to block the entrance? People were parking across the street and walking to school. It was ridiculous.

So I then sit for another 45 minutes in traffic making my way home. Had power here, things were all cool, played Okami and was talking to a friend when my computer and everything else go off and back on and off again. I figure this is a good time to shut everything off while I can. A minute later, lose all power in the house, emergency light shuts on and I'm without power until oh, about 4:30 this morning. I tried to sleep, but just couldn't. I'm even up early and I don't feel like doing anything. Maybe I;ll go take a bath and get ready for work. I think I pulled a muscle in my knee to thigh on Tuesday throwing. It's been a couple days and it's still killing me.

So how was your day?
