Well, folks, it's that time of year again. Awesome-resolutions-with-britta time. I must say, I did a pretty good job on last year's resolutions, with the baffling exception of a few I was really excited about, but never quite got around to. And so, we try again.Get a hobby involving physical exertion.     When possible, shop local.     Together let's get Short of the Edge. off the ground.

So, I got a job. I didn't blog about it, but that wasn't because I wasn't excited about it or grateful for it. I am both excited and grateful . . . but I'm also sort of in limbo, emotionally.Currently, I am watching too much TV, working at the bakery, waiting to hear back from University of Washington, and loving the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation.Things are good, but I can't really

This morning started out pretty rough. Just two weeks into school and I have to basically pull an all-nighter. Sick. Well, I sort of dozed for an hour, but it obviously wasn't very rejuvenating. Luckily, I got enough of my work done to scrape by my classes and endless meetings. Actually, the design meetings I worried the most about went very well. I met with my director, technical director,

A while ago, I was helping a certain friend edit a certain blog. We were having troubles because apparently the font Copperplate does not transfer between PCs and Macs. PCs call it “Copperplate Gothic” and Macs call it “Copperplate”. After the commotion, I thought, “I use Garamond. Heh.” It was this thought that sparked my thinking of how fabulous this font is.Garamond.You are so lovely.You look

I was thinking about this today. I was thinking about how much I liked Shyamalan's Unbreakable and how much I like Shyamalan. I thought, "Man, The Village has got to be my favorite love story...except for Rebecca, maybe." So, I've started a list. Suggestions are welcome.GREATEST LOVE STORIES ON FILM:1.

Not very creative of me to always quote lyrics in my blog posts, except for the times when I don't. Not very creative, and certainly not consistent. Who do I think I am??Well, my application to grad school at UW is in. It's funny because just like when I applied for my undergrad (excluding, of course, last year's doomed round of MA applications), I only applied to one school. I know where I

So, Jessi asked the question, will I ever blog again? I started this post a couple days ago in response, and then britta chimed in too. So, I'm finishing it today. Here you go. Life has slowed down considerably, but there are things to catch up on. I've formatted this post in a numbered list for easy commenting. It's mostly chronological.1. Roofsliding opened!

Dear Seattle,You put up a pretty good fight. I gotta admit. And now, with this wild Blizzard of Doom? You're good. Very good.You may have thought you had me licked. I've been distracted. Discouraged. I haven't focused very well on my end-of-the-year-resolutions scramble. I haven't even been blogging. I was looking at other cities. I looked at Philadelphia, New York . . . other random

My job is amazing. Actually, all of them are amazing. Today, I was elbow-deep in a vat of paint, dipping chunks of styrofoam into it. They would've taken too long to paint with a brush, so this was the method Wayne (my boss) opted to use. You may think me strange, but it was awesome. They're going to be the pieces of debris on the set of the Temple of Solomon when it is destroyed. Also

I was grocery shopping the other day, and on an impulse, I bought a box of clementines.Contrary to what the Beatles may tell you, happiness is actually, small, round orange fruits. I brought two with me to campus today and each time I got to eat one, I was overjoyed with the sweetness and juiciness of this simple, but exquisite food. There is a happiness that is only found in eating things that

My aunt will be by to pick me up in a little less than three-and-a-half hours. I should probably start packing. I actually can't remember the last time I packed for a trip more than five or six hours before I walked out the door. I anticipate being back in Provo some time Sunday evening. I don't know if my cell will get reception, and I don't know if I'll have internet access, but I'll

So, guess who's employed?? It's not actually as exciting as all that. I am employed, but only for one week. I'm down in St. George . . . back in Utah . . . working for Tuacahn. Doug is designing two shows down here this year, they're opening this week, and are behind painting-wise. He called me up and asked if I was working on a project ([scoff], don't make me laugh, Doug) and since I wasn't

Back from the Saint of George and in Oregonland! Hooray! Actually, I had a pretty fun time. We finished everything with time to spare. I really liked the painter I worked with, we had lots of good times and fun conversation. I only wish she weren't going to grad school in Utah. It'd be so much cooler for her to hook me up with jobs if she were somewhere else.I had In N Out the night before

Houston was an ordeal. I am glad to be back in Utah.I sat down just now to write a long old post about USITT and Houston, but now I don't feel like doing it. I've complained a lot, but really wasn't all that bad. The worst event was our luggage getting lost in Denver on the way there and me consequently having to show up for my pneumatic painting workshop at the Alley Theatre in capris and

So, I've had this post for about two weeks now . . . just sitting around waiting to be posted. Sorry if it's out of date. And I'm definitely sorry it's late.There is value in going back to one's origins. I am back at home . . . in the heartland . . . waiting for the next step to descend upon me like a holy vision.

Jessi is in Ashland at this very moment. I am insanely jealous. Driven to madness.I miss the Bricks. I miss the Bowmer Theatre. I miss the New Theatre, the Swan, and even the Elizabethan (though I've never seen a show there). I miss the Tudor Guild. I miss Lithia Water. I miss that funky shop down by Lithia Park where I bought my belt and the used book store where I caved and bought that

I've resurfaced.As previously mentioned, I learned how to throw on a potter's wheel and even went back for a second go-around. (HA! Pun totally intended.)

Several of my classes are after 3pm and I have yet to stay awake for the full duration of any of those classes. It doesn't help that my only time to eat during the day is from 2-3pm.

So, I finally went to the Great Salt Lake. After three years of living here in Utah, I visited that ever-so-putrid body of water and have lived to tell the tale. Well, technically, I had been there once before, but I didn't actually realize that I was there.

It has been a while since I have posted here. My apologies if anyone has happened to check. Work has been crazy for the last week or two because Ward wants to impress the new Tech Director.
