No Offense

Posted on Mar 18, 2008

But it’s annoying when every design blog I read has a post with Drew Berrymore’s home/office from Domino magazine, in the same day.

It’s boring.

EMPLOYED!

Posted on Mar 16, 2008

As of last Wednesday I have a job. YES! My first day is tomorrow and I am really excited. I’ve been dieing to be productive in a place other than the house. It comes at the perfect time because we’ve pretty much finished doing what we can with it until we get more shelving, which means more money. And since a job means income, it’s perfect.

You may be wondering what it is that I will be doing. And although I’m not exactly sure about the day to day I will be the assistant to the head of production that produces the photographic artwork for Peter Lik‘s photo galleries around the world. There are three here in Las Vegas and several in other parts of the country. Peter shoots panoramic landscapes with intense color and light. I will be overseeing the workflow of the pieces. All the way from negative to shipping. I’m so glad to be staying in the industry and getting a new perspective on the photography industry. I think it’s a photographer’s dream come true to have his/her work in galleries across the globe and selling like hotcakes. If only I could be so lucky. I’ll just continue shooting.

Wish me luck!

Ann Poulson or IHC?

Posted on Mar 15, 2008

For lunch today I made grilled cheese sandwiches.

When I asked Sir Luke if he wanted his Ann Poulson style he got a little confused. Because as well as being our fine friend form New York she also knows how to make the best grilled cheese sandwich ever. My old roommate Holly and I were going to make ourselves some grilled cheese one day when Ann suggested her family’s secret, raspberry jam. Now we were both a little put off but we went with it. Lo and behold, DELISH!

So while Sir Luke will have a boring ol’ regs grilled cheese, I will be dining on grilled cheese a la Ann Poulson.

I’ve decided one way I will mess up my kids is offering them grilled cheese either by calling it Ann Poulson or IHC. IHC, of course, refers to how I always took my grilled cheese at the Hospital in Provo, with tomato. Mmmm.

P.S. That is not my sandwich.

The Day of Pie

Posted on Mar 14, 2008

Not only is it Becca Shim’s birthday today (if you’re in New York, you need to go to her crazy awesome party she’s co-hosting with my other lovelies Amy and Jen-Poodle) but it is also Pi Day!!!

In celebration I am pining for some pie. If I was still in New York I would get a whole pie of Sour Cream Apple Walnut Pie from the Little Pie Company in Union Square. If I had thought ahead I would have ordered one! All of their pies are delish and can be shipped. Dean & Deluca sells the Sour Cream Apple Walnut Pie as well.

Maybe next weekend I’ll make myself one, sans walnuts. Sir Luke detests walnuts.

SurfWise

The Paskowitz family lived out of a winebego for 25 years. Nine kids, two adults and surfing. No school no work. They just drove around the country looking for the next wave to ride. The father up and left his job as a doctor at Stanford and started a family on the road. They never went to school. Can you imagine?

I’m completely intrigued by the idea but could never do that myself, as evidence by my last post.

It’s messages like this that make friendship so meaningful.

“you and Sir Luke are missed.
i hope Vegas is treating you well.”

Thanks Yancy Pants!
