Psyched!

I’m actually enthusiatic about job hunting! I just updated my résumé and uploaded it to SVA’s job board, then did a search for jobs. I found a couple of good freelance ones. One involves scanning images — not very demanding, but the money’s decent. The other’s more exciting: designing the box and board for a couple of boardgames. With my cartooning ability, background in print, and the fact that I’m a boardgame geek, this is a perfect fit! Hope it’s not already taken.

Not really slacking

I’ve been doing a really good impression of a slacker today. Haven’t so much as left the apartment, much less gone to the gym, just been sitting around in front of the computer.

But I’ve actually been doing important stuff! I’ve called about the boardgame illustration job (left a message on someone’s voicemail), tried to get in touch with Chris (still not home last I checked) about apartment stuff, and finally got my portfolio site up and running. I think it’s all stuff you’ve seen here before, but reproduced larger. I’ve got ideas for a couple of more ambitious pieces, but they’ll take time to execute, and I wanted something up there now for the boardgame people to look at.

"Early One Morning"

Just finished tonight’s Buffy. Well, well, well. There’s a cliffhanger for you.

I recognized the tune Spike was humming at the beginning of the ep via a parody. I spent the first couple of commercial breaks googling for the original, and eventually found the lyrics, just a bit before the first verse and chorus wound up being actually sung in the show.
