Business sense

Fitting, isn't it. 

Blogging from the MacBook Pro today as CJ has declared himself crossword puzzle extraordinaire on the iPad. I designed these business cards a while back and had put off ordering them until finally I reached a point of realization... typing my phone number into people's iPhones felt a bit too close to like getting picked up in a bar and since I'm still getting used to the touchpad, it would take me a good 5 minutes to get it all in there and sorted. So in the interest of professionalism, I designed the card so that everyone knows just exactly how I feel about myself. Like I said, keep it classy folks.

  Taste of Ink did an amazing job, and I'm very happy with the blind embossing. Blind people need to be able to read it as well! Since my "career" as of late has mostly consisted of traveling for a living and keeping the crew from tearing out their hair and smashing cameras, why not put that I rock at doing so on a card? There's something very liberating and empowering about being the glue that keeps everyone all together. 

I've been thinking about careers again and I can't even begin to say how much I envy those of you who know what you want to do with your time and love it. Even if it was something that you believed to be ordinary, you loving it makes it extraordinary. I suppose I'll keep trying on hats until the right one fits.

You see us as you want to see us... In the simplest terms, in the most convenient of definitions.

A day in the life

A few friends have asked me in the past how I live being that my line of work is so infrequent. For one thing, luckily I made quite a bit last year so finances aren't a head case, and plus, there's two of us living in this house. Don't you worry about not working? Well, really it is I who chooses to work when the right project comes along. Otherwise I don't learn or grow creatively, I'm stressed out, and my time has been wasted. What's the joy in living like that? So, when we're not working, what is it that we spend all of our time doing? (Bear with me, this was a slow day)

7am- 11am: read emails, read blogs, Insanity workout + Bar Method

11am : rise & grind w our coffee bar

11:30 - 12:30pm : errands & a walk 

12:30pm : Cj working on music & portfolio

3:00pm : Cj's snack time (Disclaimer: I didn't bake that banana bread, I'm embarrassed to say)

3:30pm : disgusted with our creative block, we drive to Los Feliz seeking inspiration

Figaro Bistrot 

Orange Presse + chocolate macaron

I wish my apt had the need for a fire escape. So romantic and very Breakfast at Tiffanys

On the wish list for next year

Although we didn't gain very much creatively, at least we left the apartment. Cj got a "sup bro" from Danny Masterson but I didn't see as I was pouring myself all over the Rebecca Minkoff clutches at Confederacy. He drives a Range Rover and since he parked behind me, I took advantage of being right in his line of sight and did my best to channel a Jackie smolder a la That 70's Show, being that I was wearing vintage bell bottoms and all. 

No dice from Hyde.
