Not much going on...

Since I have a few extra minutes this morning, I figured I should make a quick update since I'd meant to write one earlier in the week. As usual, however, I just never got around to it. Poor neglected blog. I need to buy you an ice-cream.

Last Wednesday was my birthday. Ew. 23 is just an ugly age to me.. and I'm not even sure I can make sense of that. Like, 22 and 24 seem like fine ages, but 23 does not. Maybe I just have a thing for even numbers or something. It's strange that certain ages have particular attributes assigned to them. Like, 13 - you're a teenager, then there's sweet 16, at 19 you can drink (Canada), etc etc etc. Nothing is exciting about 23. *sigh* I guess I have a full year to get used to it.

As usual, nothing has really been happening for me. I find that while I still like my job, the novelty has worn off and I'm officially at the point where the weekends don't come quickly enough. Last week in particular was hellish. I spent many days near tears from pure frustration with what I was working on. Thankfully, I'm off the project now and this week looks to be fairly monotonous. I'm doing illustrations all week for two different clients. One set is purely vector and has been in my docket for a month already at work. It looks like the illustration job that will never die simply because there are SO MANY things they need. The other job is a series of realistic paintings of 2-story houses for a construction company in the city. It sounds boring, and kinda is, but it's extremely challenging as well. I'm ashamed to say that I've never drawn anything in 2 point perspective before and wasted an hour or two just trying to figure out how to draw the damn thing. I'll post a picture of the process eventually.

What else. Oh, our furniture from IKEA arrived last week and everything was great except they sent three black-brown chairs and one pine. So last Saturday I had to make the trip out there to get it replaced. The guy at the Customer Service counter was amusingly homosexual and made me laugh. When I explained the problem, he said in the entirely stereotypical lisp "Really? Oh SNAP!"  I don't even know what that means. But he was adorable so I'll let it be.

I think that's all. My life, though never very exciting, has definitely fallen into the adult routine. Wake up, work, gym, home, tv, sleep.

And, I still want to go to Asia.

Ta!
