Luke Skywalker

Here are some things I like:

Melissa looks like Luke Skywalker.

Funny looking Alpacas I found on the internet while searching for a photo of Luke Skywalker.

Rest In Peace

"It is one of the cruelties of this world 

that the longevity of our dogs is shorter than ours".

Konrad Lorens

"Chings, my little angel, you brought such joy and happiness to my life, I will never forget you. You made me smile every day and filled my heart with your sweetness, devotion and love - you were my best friend. I will think of you when I look up at the birds and the squirrels in the yard and feel the sun on my face. We will meet again someday, my angel".

Back to Long Beach

Sorry for not posting in such a long time. We went back to Long Beach for a while. 

Had a wedding to attend and I was working at Designory again. 

The night before we left, we video chatted with the Cadmans...

In the lower right corner is a picture of me taking the picture of a web cam taking a picture of a video camera taking a picture of Jonny...

Finch was pretty bummed out we were leaving.

He took the luggage tag.

Jonny in the flesh.

The original Baby Cadman! He just went to Bali and Japan. Rough summer.

Good old Long Beach. Where else will you find a Mega DVD & Water store.

The prospector in all it's karaoke splendor.

Visited with Travis and Michelle.

Bailey the dog's 2nd appearance on this blog - publicity whore!

After the wedding, Melissa went back to Seattle and I stayed a week to work at Designory. Rode the bus everyday and it was really cool...

Long Beach from the bus.

I like downtown Long Beach.

Back to The Designory, inc.!

Downtown promenade.

Elevator.

Designory's 6th floor lobby & library.

My old code still worked.

I sat at my old office mate's desk because he was out of town for the week.

Worked on a brochure.

Went to a going away party at the Dubliner. This is Sal. He's gonna help me with my website.

Jamie is leaving (L), and Wane is not (R).

Jamie and Alan Louie!

The wedding will have it's own post to come...

SeaFair weekend

Saturday was so nice, we went to Golden Gardens and hiked around. There's an off-leash dog park too, so it's good for the whole family...

That's the water in the background.

Jeffery came to our house for the first time this weekend. We just hung around the neighborhood, went to the bar, BBQ'd, etc...

The next morning, Jeffery took us to brunch at the best restaurant I've been to so far in Seattle. It's a really cool Mexican spot on Capitol Hill...

They serve Milky.

Multi-colored saints above the bar.

Huge flowing drapes and big religious paintings in gold frames.

Really cool banquet room.

Here's that famous Jimi Hendrix statue.  It's in front of a good music store - go figure.

There's no escaping the Blue Angles!

Went to a cool pet store (the bottom right corner says "Poo Bags"!).

Got Finch this great black rope leash with cool leather details...

Back to our neighborhood.

Finch puts his head in my shoe.

All for now.

Pork Friday!

We had a pretty wild night. 

Melissa made pulled pork sandwiches. She threw a pork shoulder in the crock pot for 10 or 12 hours, and it was almost the best pork I've ever eaten. I was sick from having too much.

Finch sat in the window with his bullie stick (which he swallowed 4 inches of later that night)

We talked to my mom on the pone for a while.

Hi mom!

Walked the dog.

We're mad because Melissa woke us up with her flash photography.

It's SeaFair this weekend and the Blue Angels are flying around. There's also drag-boat races. We're gonna stay in our neighborhood and avoid the crowds.

All for now.

the hunt is on...

All my materials are finally done (except a real website), and I started sending samples to the agencies/design firms I like.

Sent stuff to 3 high-end agencies and one that's not as good, but who was actually hiring.  We'll see if anyone bites. It's kind of like fishing...

My portfolio is done, and it's huge - almost 2 feet wide and 14 inches high!  Kick 'em in the balls with huge images!

I finally like the look of my resume.

Put a PDF together so I can email samples to agencies I like.

Working down my list of places to apply.

Now I wait and see if anyone is interested....
