Новая Дома

I moved this weekend into my new apartment near work. Nothing more liberating than finally leaving the house you’ve spent all your time in as a child, teenager and young adult. My view would be spectacular if it weren’t for the trees that clog my line of vision from my balcony. That’s the preemptive statement I tell everyone who asks how my new apartment is. Views are very important to me. That’s why I am that apartment complex and not another. It sits high on a hill right on the freeway and has such amazing views of the city and the Hill Country. Unfortunately for me, the Hill Country is right at my window in the form of that tree thats sticks up and waves its ugly branch in my face in its stylish mocking fashion. I digress.

Design by Humans for me

Paging through a couple of Tumblelogs just now that are listed on Tumblr’s “Sweet Themes” page.  I must say all of those gorgeous and creative Tumblelogs makes me want to take serious CSS and XHTML classes.  I have a working knowledge of HTML, and learned how to use Dreamweaver through a book. After finishing 80% of that book, I took it upon myself to redesign my company’s website.  Everyone was impressed by it but me.  As much as a step up from our previous website as it is, I just don’t feel that it’s on par with what I feel I can do with proper training.  Fortunately my boss gave me stellar reviews on my performance evaluation today and said if I found a web design class that I wanted to take to let him know and they would pay.  I’ll start looking for some tomorrow, and hopefully I’ll be able to channel all of the ideas in my head into something that I can view as remarkable.  I am by default my own worst critic.

In light of my “outstanding” performance evaluation today, I think I’ll treat myself to some retail delights.  This month leaves me with a vague recollection of what the page of my iCal looked like before it became littered with a million appointments, meetings, and to-dos.  Therefore, I’ll most likely drop considerable capital at designbyhumans.com.  I found out about this company through Garrett Murray’s tumblelog (his was one of those featured on the Sweet Themes page).  Their shirts are by and large the most awesome, innovative and creative shirts I’ve ever seen.  I’m going to look even more so cool now!  I’ve only skimmed the first three pages of the women’s section and so far want every shirt I’ve seen.  Especially this one, this one, this one and this one.  There are so many more, but I’m tired of posting the links so just go to their site and know that I love all of those t-shirts.  I’ll post pictures on my Flickr once the first batch that I order arrives.

Mail was fun today.  My 1 Second Film business cards came in!
