Work in progress painting


It has been a while since I actually painted but earlier this week I decided to work on several digital paintings that I never finished. It's good practice and should add value to my resume. Man, I think I bomb my interview because I made it clear that I wasn't confident with my digital painting skills, even though I am capable of painting. LOL...I should have also reread the job description; I can't believe that I forgot to. I am now trying to finish my paintings so that i can add them to my website. I have posted my most complete painting above. It's it super awesome!!!!! (sarcasm) It is better than the bestest-essess-ish painting ever.{not}

Sweet

I received a phone call today informing me that I have an interview this coming Monday. It is pretty sweet and it sounds like they are pretty interested since they maybe me do a ridiculous questionary (it wasn't bad and was pretty standard except for the last part), a phone interview, an art test, and now the personal interview. Wish me luck and hope that I do well.

New Stuff the Days Tomorrow


My monthly orthodontic appointment was scheduled early yesterday at 8:40 am but I was running late when I arrived the site. As I edged closer to the mysterious blue building, the loud howling noise of the familiar fire alarm screamed danger; in this case it was false. It has apparently been ringing for ten minutes when I have arrived but it continued it's tantrum for a dozen or so more minutes even when the firefighters arrived to shut off the alarm. Regardless of how long or short the wait was, I was still late. As the line grew for the wait for the elevator, I decided that the stairs was the fastest way to get to the six floor. Tens of stares clocking at almost up to a hundred, six floors, and two small paper cups of cold mineral water later, I was at my chair and sat on it for a whole hour.

The next event after the appointment was to get breakfast; I was craving a breakfast sandwich from McD's. After that I decided to get a haircut. I waited for maybe 15 minutes before it was my turn. The end result was fine; long in the front, short in the side and back.

After my haircut, I went to Bestbuy/Futureshop to buy Wii Play. I was pretty dissapointed b/c it was no where to be found. I looked around and asked why it isn't in stock since the poster board outside says 14/2 for Wii Play. Apparently Futureshop is the real deal; some sort of future store where they sell stuff before they should actually have to. Regardless, I was still able to buy it at Toys R Us because it appears that their shipment of Wii Play has just arrived. I also saw that they have new component cables; it wasn't the official Nintendo ones or the really expensive ones at BB/FS. I asked for the price of the Mad Catz component cables and it was 25 dollars. I was like score but i decided that I wasn't going to buy it because it wasn't part of my plan that day. However, as i walked out of the store with Wii Play on hand something clicked, I guess I didn't want to waste my time by talking another trip back to T'R'S for the cables. I went back and bought the cables with some shame.

I guess the worst part of the day was the travel, which is pretty normal. When I arrived home, hooked up everything from cables/DVD players/surround sound/speakers and the Wii to my TV because my mom fucked around with the placement of the living room. Then she decided to put back everything to they're original place. I was left to put back all of the electronics together.

No Wii PLay or Wiimote


My plan was to go to Futureshop/ToysRus/ and God forbid EB Games to buy a new Wiimote...errr I mean Wii PLay. That was the plan, but that didn't happen since i found out that I have received an Art Test. It was pretty easy, but it ended up taking approximately 4 hours to make. Plus, I took several breaks that lasted from around 15~45 minutes. I am pretty happy with it's outcome but I don't know if it is good enough to be hired. XD

That party sucked!


I know it has been blogged like a million times already (k, like 3 or something) but I just have to say it one more time, Hoovie's, Hovie's, Hovy's, or w/e sucked. Maybe it was b/c I (and the other people i was with) crashed a party with people we don't know. In my defense I didn't know that i don't know the people at the party except for a few.

When we arrived it was pretty embarrassing, but good thing there were Asians there too. NOT!!!!! They were pretty loud and and apparently no one really knew them because they also apparently crashed the party. One of them was cute but then I found out who she was....Ahhhhh David's sister...then I remembered the inside joke about her...it was a mean inside joke but pretty funny none the less.

P.S. this is a new blog
