I can see!

Finally, finally got around to fixing my glasses. I've been walking around sans-nose pads on my spectacles for months now. It's nice to look down and not have your glasses fall off your face.

I'm watching "Austin Stevens Adventures", and I think he's slowing becoming my new idol.

He's like Steve Erwin with a camera. I gotta get one of those sticks with pincers at the end of it, and an Australian accent.

P.S. Gallery opening went really well. I shall eventually take pictures of the place and put it up in the creative cafe.

I'm planning to work on the side during vacations... so I'll still have goals and deadlnes, just way more money to show for it.

Money is da shit. That's why I'm reluctant to go back to Saskatchewan to look for design jobs, since statistically designers are payed less in Saskatchewan than in say BC or Ontario.

We'll see how it goes.

And now...

Gratuitous pictures of dogs.

Cause I found them on my Photobucket account, and they make me happy.

Max (big dog) and Hope (little dog). Sad thing is, Hope and all the other poms rule over Max.

Rough when we first got her. So cute!

I used to use the flash alot.

I miss Ezy, my little one-eyed wonder Pom, she was a cutey.

Oh wait, I have a kitty picture

Who's a happy kitty?

Cute!

Statistically, the cost of living is higher in BC too though.

Ontario wants to woo you.

True, so I think I've got a plan for the next few months/years.

That would be cool. I have family there as well (my aunt Cecilia and her family). We'll see.

I'm allergic to dawgs.

the cat is cute, though.

The Plan...for now

In the odd hours between working on assignments and such (achievements: almost finished my client-work and two of the three big projects for the year. Go me!) I have come up with a plan.

The Plan is to go back to Saskatchewan and look for work there, specifically in Saskatoon. There are design firms there (dblack looks pretty good) and I know my way around Saskatoon, so it's a good familiar place to start. Plus, family is only 3 1/2 hours away so if I'm in a real pinch there's a close lifeline.
Ultimate goal is to get money and experience in Saskatchewan, then come right back here to BC (specifically ReThink Advertising) for the remainder of my days.

And then, get super powers.

So am I.

His name's Shaft.

Shaft...heh...we should make a lolcat out of him.

Is one of them a Pomeranian? Pretty much everyone on my team at my job is gaga over dogs. They've got their walls covered with pictures of their dogs and they talk about them like they're their children. It's scary sometimes.

Three of them are Pomeranians. Max is the only non-Pom.

I'd fit right in then, except I don't talk about them like they're my children.

Much.

What are your dogs names?

Hope is the cutest!

Right now I've got:

Sweety = female black and tan Pomeranian
Hope = female Pomeranian (I don't know the official name for her colouring, but I'd call her grey and tan)
Rough n' Tough = female orange sable Pomeranian (not sure on her colouring either). Affectionately referred to as "Rough".

Max= male Kuvasz, affectionately referred to as "Maximus".

Thanks, she has very pretty coat and a sweet personality.

Achievements still to come

Gotta finish my portfolio book by Sunday night. I'm almost there, I just need to grab some of the stuff I made last term/summer and add it as well as finish off the rest of my revisions/new pieces.

Ay ya! So much yet to do, but it's coming along well.

Just a few more little edits to my Annual Report and ID Standards and those will be done too. Huzzah for that!

Big projects are almost done!

I had to stifle a laugh when I read 'Rough n' Tough. Not that theres anything funny about the name, but going from "Sweety", to "Hope" and then reading "Rough n Tough" was like wtf?:)
