Aeon Flux
I bought the Aeon Flux DVD this week. It says it’s the “Special Collector’s Edition” but I’ve always thought Special Collector DVD’s had more than one dvd. I wanted to wait for it to release a even more collector edition. Which I hope isn’t coming out this month. I think Charlize Theron looks really pretty in this movie.

Dilettante
Dilettante \DIL-uh-tahnt\ noun
1: an admirer or lover of the arts
2: a person having a superficial interest in an art or a branch of knowledge : dabbler
I really like this word. It describes myself in full. Art and Design has always been the center point of everything I do. The objects I see give inspiration and make me wonder how they were designed. The sounds I hear form an atmosphere that I can piece together something amazing.
My job has been given me the chance to create and build more upon my knowledge as a designer. The sites that I design for customers have to be quick and match the way our company designes sites. Since I’ve been working I’m working on speeding up my design process. Now that I’ve been working for about three months things have been running smoothly. There is always somthing new that I have to learn.
I am going back to school next month to earn more credits to transfer to Texas State next spring semester. I am taking a History and Cultural Anthropology with Dee. Anthropology sounds a bit though but Dee is smart so she can help me a long with that. We have a few things planned for our summer. There is a visit to the Zoo, bicycling, and going to see Lewis Black peform on June 23rd.
I signed up for the Photojojo newsletter recently. The have really cool photography project tutorials on their site. They have a Flickr group as well that I joined and I need try and submit photos to. I don’t know, I really don’t have that many great photos on my Flickr. Although, I am currently saving up money to buy a Canon PowerShot S80, which I am sure will jolt me into taking more photos. I still have my Polaroids to post in bigger format.
Heavy Rotation
I worked on updating my website over the weekend. It isn’t finished yet, a lot of the descriptions need to be typed out. The way I need to present the content on my site needs to be realigned. I really want to code the site to be a bit more clean. After reading CSS Mastery I’ve learned a lot of new things that I need to apply this site.
Dee is coming home tomorrow! We’re going to see The Essex Green on Thursday. It will be the first time we will get to see them live. Their new album Canibal Sea is one of my favorites for the season. I really hope they play ‘Our Lady in Havana’, ‘Chester’, ‘Sin City’, and ‘Rue De Lis’.
The second season of Lost is coming close. We all can say that last weeks episode was incredibly insane. It was also the start of The Lost Experience ‘game’. There was a commercial for The Hanso Foundation with a web site and a phone number to call. You should goto The Jay and Jack Lost Experience Wiki to go through what is going on so far.
Misplaced Dimple
Today I was in a Illustrator mood and I just wanted to spend my monday night illustrating. I first looked at some sites for insperation and then went through my iPhoto to find a good photo. I decided on a photo of Dee and I. I choose it because she looks pretty in it. Well here is what I did; there are others but I would rather not show them here.
