REMEMBER QUOTES OF THE DAY?

I will never tell."

OLIVIA!

OKAY, for the record, I've been posting everything on my blog. Ironically I figured that nobody really reads it and have stopped posting so diligently, so I guess I feel your pain :) This is my favorite picture so far, probably because we've discovered that I suck at photography and somehow this one came out sweet.  Sorry it's not an amazing city scene but it is our roofdeck! 

Glad to see that typophile is still going strong! I'm excited to see the final product. Besides, a little leaking can only increase excitement about it right? Leak on my friend!

LO siento Amigo.

dearest Olivia. Sorry for the absence~ cross my heart wasn't intentional. Honestly wish you were here! I love the pictures by the way, and the typophile project... (for lack of better words) love it!

I feel like I have been here forever an a fortnight (just learned that word from pride& prejudice :) Long enough to feel like a New Yorker? Or maybe enough to feel my west coast blood running wild...no worries I left a part of my heart in provo.

don't get me wrong~ life has been a blur of summer freedom, eating, sleeping, & scanning to my little heart's content.

some of the highlights:

despite the nature of the photograph, my deepest love for the MOMA. let's just say ny brings out the rebel in me.

central park. although this was the spot I was put to shame in my hula hoop skills, Its beauty demands forgiveness and allures me over and over again! every week since i've been here i've been to central park. ironic one of the best things of new york is it's "natural" surroundings.

next favorite: governor's island. fyi: the clouds are real. no photoshop. serious. no curves. swear.

the view from graphis. actually a little skewed. i stare at a brick wall. this view is if I stand up and look up. ( a good metaphor no?)

well in no time, we will be back. but until then...MISS YOU!

signing off. glo

YOU ARE ALL LAME-O-HEADS

So yeah remember the time when you all ignored me? Thanks.

I love Provo and all, but I'm really just itching to know about your NYC. Please? Or at least just something about the internship.

Mine's still fun. Yeah, still. I'm making menus, t-shirts, and nameplates, mounting presentation boards with an amazing machine I think we should have for the studio, and moving/organizing as we just moved from floor 3 to floor 7. I don't take the stairs as often. But elevators are awkward.

Oh yeah, and Typophile is awesome, as is Brent. I'm about to make our blog private so I can post these pics without getting in trouble for leaking:

My cool-touch glue gun from Puppetry class proved a great tool for all of Typophile.

My favorite Typophile day:

*We affectionately called it the "hampersand"


Wish I was there...
Wish you would tell me what it's like there...
Wish I could read about it here...

NYC

Who lives in the safest neighborhood?

Blue Man Group

This is one of the best shows we've seen in NY. I have seen it twice. It is less than $30 with a student I.D. starting an hour before each show. The mezzanine seats are great.

Welcome us to New York

If you missed the facebook invite:

Housewarming party this weekend at our new apartment, freshly named "Guillermo's REC Center" or "Guillermo's" for short. (586 Broadway in Williamsburg (Brooklyn). Take the J or M train to Lorimer. We're right under the subway stop above a Cozzi's Pizza.)

Please bring bread or anything that can be eaten on top of bread. It must be delicious.

First Post (for me) From NY

Watch this at work and don't laugh. I dare you.

Love you all and miss you.
House-warming party soon.

First day on the job & NY driving

Last night I drove a car from Chinatown Manhattan to Queens to Brooklyn. Driving a car in NY is more difficult than San Francisco and L.A. combined in my experience.







This is the Boss' dog. I had to walk it today. There is a dog park right by the Flatiron Building right by where I work. I hope that this is the last day that I have to walk Griffith.

Plane Trivia

I won the trivia game 6 times on the plane. WooHoo.

WHO'S EXCITED FOR NYC ? ? ?

Jake Sargeant,
alumn of our program & my second-cousin,
worked on this video for Motion Theory.
While in school,
he taught himself motion graphics.
Can you imagine??
There was no Brent; no motion class---so he just sat down
& made amazing stuff all by himself.

He also worked at Digital Kitchen.
