Narnia

It's been a while since I've read fiction. Normally I read books about design, art, or christianity or more technical books about computers and such. I'm finding it really interesting reading fiction again. Like an annoying kid at a movie theatre I'm yelling (in my mind) at the characters telling them what to do. "What are you doing??" "Don't you remember Aslan's mission?" "It was so simple, can't you remember it?? He even told you to say it before you go to sleep, and when you get up so you won't forget it. Why aren't you listening???"
then it hits me. ouch. I do the same thing every day. what?!? I forget about my ever so simple mission. to recite it when I get up and when I lie down. to meditate on it day and night and not be distracted and lose sight of the destination.

not that we should be so heavenly minded either. I think that as a church we have forgotten that God made us to enjoy life in His name. not to just say that, but to actually have fun! read numbers 14 if you get the chance. God actually calls us to have fun in his name. seriously.

I had so much fun at church (morning and night :P ) yesterday... and singing!!!

Doh, the stuff that makes a twinkie,
Ray, the guy who makes the twinkies,
Me, the one I buy them for,
Fah, a long, long, way to the twinkie store,
Soh, I'll have another twinkie,
Lah, la la la la la twinkie!!,
Tea? no thanks! I'll have a twinkie
And that brings us back to doh, twinkie! twinkie! twinkie!!

Pretty good day so far at work. my boss is on vacation this week so I get the whole office to myself. Although there has already been some confusion about a certain print job. I'm sure it will all work out.

I got an email from a designer saying that my prof had recommended me to do some freelance work from him! I'm stoked. Lou Ceccato actually recommended me to one of his colleagues. For those of you who don't know, Lou Ceccato is this amazing italian designer and a prof of mine last semestre. He's done work for sportchek, the beer store, sobey's and a whole bunch of packaging including the new nature valley granola bars. Definitely one of my favourite profs here at ocad. and he chose to recommended me? whoa.

I can't wait to hear about the project. This would be the first time that I'd be doing real work for a real senior designer. That could be a major asset.

ever get the feeling that you're falling?

silkscreened myself a hoodie saturday. I'll have to post a pic.
