i scream.

I am now a full time ice-cream scooping babe [at least for the rest of the summer]. I got a job scooping ice cream at a cute little shop last Monday. Not complaining, but I've been working every day since! My first day off is this Sunday! Crazy, but it's so fun. I didn't realize that it would be such a busy joint - but they also serve food [sandwiches, salads and soups]. So all the downtown working folks come in for lunch. It gets pretty hectic but it beats the pants off of standing around trying to look busy at Barnes and Noble. Plus, ice-cream is so delicious and I come home smelling of sugar and waffle cones. : ] The rest of my time lately has been spent swimming and riding my bike and hanging out with Chris. I've been drawing a lot lately, which feels super good. I also got Corel Painter X this week. I haven't figured it all out yet, but I play with it every day to see what I can learn and hopefully I'll be able to crank out some colored drawings instead of my usual line art. : ] Chris and I also went to see The Happening last Friday. It isn't a flawless film but I really enjoyed it. A lot. I think Shyamalan has a beautiful mind. I've seen all but two of his movies and I have, to some degree, fallen in love with all of them.

and what do i think i'm doing?

girl, you're ridiculous.

I have so many ideas filling this noggin of mine, and lately I have been quite unable to get them out. I have not been able to really pinpoint the blockage, but I do hope that it clears out soon. I had a job interview yesterday. I felt like it went really well, but I won't know anything until next Monday. Oh, the suspense! I need money. Moving money. As the preview trip to Atlanta draws near, I find myself more excited. . .and scared. Scared, still and my reasons are silly. If none of it is going to matter at the end of the summer why should I even worry? Forgive me for half-explaining myself, I'm just frustrated mentally. It will pass. The trip is this Thursday and Friday. Holly and I are going to a show and looking for apartments in addition to my interview. Weeee! Should be a hoot!

Quick question : Has anyone seen " Zeitgeist The Movie"? I downloaded it but have yet to see it. Let me know, if you don't mind. : ]

playing on the downtime

Goodbye, Barnes and Noble. I no longer work there, which makes me wonderfully happy. That job had such potential to be a fun place to work, but unfortunately it was ruined for me. It doesn't look like I'm going to have as much down time as I thought, which is good. I have a job interview on Monday at a clothing store. I'm not really stoked on the job but seeing as how I'm moving to Atlanta for school in a few months, I just need a paycheck coming in until then. So it'll do. : ] In the downtime I've been hanging out with Mister Christopher. We have a couple of bicycles to work on and fix up now.

my blue bike-bike.

The blue on is mine, the green one in the back is his. We've done some work on them since this photo was taken, but there is still a lot to be done. Since this photo we've put a chain on it, lowered the seat [for my short little leggums]
and turned the front fender the around where it's supposed to be. It is ridable, but there are some customizations that we've talked about trying. Oh, I am so very excited. I will keep you all updated on how it's coming along as we put in more work : ]

Calling in sick [of work].

playing with sea critters.

Calling out of work the past two days was oh-so-nice. Friday we played around the house and went for ice cream. We wanted to have a 'stay up all night' kind of party and draw and write but I was totally not feeling inspired. Go figure. So rain-check on that. We ended up watching 'Steamboy', directed by Katsuhiro Otomo. I've seen it once before, and was reminded of how much I love it. Otomo delivers. Yesterday we went on a little road trip to the beach. We went to a couple of bike shops, since we're looking to build ourselves some bikes. We also went to a comic book store, which ended up being somewhat disappointing. It was more of a 'Super Hero' store, which is okay but they didn't have anything I was looking for. Their website was quite misleading. . .Man, I'm jonesing for some new comics. We walked on the beach for an hour or so, playing with all the little sand-digging creatures. There was one snail-like creature that lived in a cone shell who slimed my finger. Gah-ross. Then it was back home to watch movies: 'American Psycho' and part of 'Tron'.It was a wonderful break from everything. Back to the real world today, and work. This week the search for a new job must continue.
