Did he just say 'infinite sex'?


Math makes life fun!

I am barely grasping the concept of sets and elements of sets and roster notation or set-builder notation or mapping or unions or intersects, natural numbers, infinity or any of the stuff and symbols listed above.

But I have to fully understand it before next Tuesday because we have a quiz on it.

There are people in my class that seem to understand it just fine. They even skip out on the last half of class .. they never take notes, or they doze during lecture but seem to be doing well on tests and stuff. Maybe they have had this already in the past? It's all totally new & foreign to me .. like learning a new language.

I cracked up in class today though because the professor kept talking about, "Infinite sets .. "

so I thought it would be funny to turn to my friend Kandi and say, "Infinite sex .. "

and she replied, "That's the kind you have when you're drunk. Kinda like running in place, you never really get anywhere."

I'm still laughing over it.

A memorable Calvin & Hobbes ... & a sad evening.

Click it to read it.

A bit of bad news tonight has me really down ... the orange & white baby kitty that has hung around outside my work for several months has been hit by a car just tonight. I was driving to the grocery tonight after work and saw him laying in the road. I hoped it wasn't him and I passed back by on my way home and I saw that it was definitely him.

Sad day ='( It sucks so bad. Stuff like this just crushes me.

Holy shit, a heatwave!



I see on Wednesday it's going to be a balmy 47 degrees here.

Good. I'm sick of the solid sheet of ice in my driveway that's been there for a week.

Spring Quarter schedule.

It's already that time again .. and this will be my last quarter ever before we switch to the long, grueling semester system =(

I'm trying to cram in as many classes as I can before the change happens, so this time I'm going to try to take 5 classes instead of 4.

I signed up for:

Visualist Studio 1
Digital Publishing & Layout 2
Painting 1
Life Drawing 1
and Geology 111: Rocks, Minerals and Fossils

I will drop either one of the art electives (drawing or painting) if it's too much to handle. The rest I pretty much have to take before the semester conversion .. no choice in the matter.

Taking 5 classes means I'll be there on Mondays from 10am til 10pm but I'll have breaks in between to leave campus to go have lunch or to stay and get some projects and studying done.

If I make it through all 5 classes, I will only have 8 classes left to take to get my degree, or only 6 if I find an internship to do during the summer.

=D

I really REALLY want this shirt.

Channeling Chilly Willy just to get by.

< begin some truth + some drama >
My skin is a wreck from wind.
My hair is a wreck from dry air.
My lips are constantly chapped.
I might as well buy stock in Aveeno.
I have sniffles that won't go away.
I might as well buy stock in Kleenex.
It HURTS to go outside.
My bones ache.
I'm stuck in a frozen wasteland.
I might as well be in Antarctica.
< end some truth + some drama >

Repeat after me:

I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm. I want to live where it's warm ....

Another something to look forward to.


I just learned that my favorite author, Harvey Pekar, has two new books coming out this spring!

I pre-ordered both of them, Macedonia and American Splendor: Another Day.

I happened to find an email address to send fan mail to Harvey and I gave it a shot this evening. I thought the email to be returned right away, the website I found it on hasn't been updated for a long time, but so far so good. I don't expect to hear anything back .. but who knows. If I do, it'll be something to print & frame =D

Although I know it won't be easy to find everything, I have a goal to own as much of his stuff as I can .. take a peek at my amazon.com Wish List if you'd like. Not begging, just sharing =)

Brochure I designed [revamped 02.05.07].



For my visualist studio class. The assignment was to create a tri-fold business-to-business marketing brochure to promote email marketing software for antique malls throughout Ohio and the Tri-State area. The feel was supposed to be sophisticated rather than flea-market and target a fairly low-tech audience to communicate advanced technology in a classical theme.

I put quite a bit of time into it. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

Pardon the blurring on the top panel mailing label for privacy reasons, because it just so happens I used my own address.

In other news, I made a new blog header today as you can see ... just playing around with some of the new Photoshop brushes I found at brusheezy.com. They are awesome!

*Critique Update*

the professor didn't like the orange color I had along with the purple in the other version. He said they were too close to the same saturation and sort of *fought* when they were placed side by side. I didn't think so .. I kinda like purple & orange together, but maybe that's just me.

So, I took away the orange and now we're left with plums and cream. Yum. And a business reply card to boot.

Kitty Montage (complete w/ Saddam Hussein facial expressions.)


Refer back to this post if the title confuses you.

P.S. He hated Employee of the Month, as you can see .. but still thinks Dane Cook is pretty damn funny.

P.S.S. Paul took most (if not all) of these .. so he gets all the credit =D

Poster I designed.


For my visualist studio class. The assignment was to create a poster to promote the annual Cincinnati Butterfly Show.

I rarely post my own work here .. I guess I could start doing that more.

Just say no to free radicals!


and drink a little Naked.

I've been feeling kinda crappy for about a few days now and wanted something healthy to drink so I picked this stuff up (only because it was on sale .. a 15.2 FL OZ bottle is like $3.09 and I think that's insane.)

Anyhoo .. it's good stuff .. a whole pound of fruit in a bottle .. this one contained 2 pomegranates, 8 blueberries, 1/2 of an apple, and a few white and red grapes for good measure.

Pretty good stuff, just pricey. I guess for the amount of fruit you get in it, it's not terrible .. all of that seperately would be much more expensive.

Dontcha wish your kitty was hot like mine? Dontcha?

Don't be fooled by the cuteness. He's really vindictive. And narcissistic.

"Scoop my goddamn litter, NOW."


Since our cat has been neutered, he makes this exact same facial expression. The similarity is uncanny. I'll try to get a picture to compare in the near future.

Paul's changing things around here for me =D It might look strange depending on your browser. It'll be ok.

Wanna touch my wenis?

I just learned tonight from a co-worker that the skin on your elbow is called your 'wenis.'

That's hysterical in all sorts of ways.

Who knew?! I could have been having fun with that for years.

Also, your wenis seriously lacks sensitivity. Try pinching your wenis as hard as you can. Or have someone else pinch your wenis .. totally no feeling at all!

Wenis. Wenis. Wenis.
