My Next Project? February 6, 2010 2 Comments

Great, thanks Ken, another song stuck in my head. New project? Most likely not, unless someone wants to animate my creations. But it is kawaii! Enjoy!

Thanks to Boing Boing for the initial post that got my attention and to U900 for their work. You can see more videos on U900’s myspace.

Introducing Melrose January 11, 2010 3 Comments

OMG, I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to finally introduce Melrose. Everybody, this is Melrose. She was born on October 4th, 2009. One of 7 pups, but sadly 2 passed away. I first met her on December 7th after a long flight from Arkansas. Thanks to my friend Cindy who gave me pick [...]

A New Mini Obsession December 19, 2009 1 Comment

It’s a bad habit of mine to get obsessed with things. Then go out and need to acquire a small quantity. Lately it’s lunch boxes or bags. I’ve got a couple and, when I was working, used to swap them out on a regular basis.
My favorite, that I used quite often, was my small Harrods [...]

Hello, Again. December 2, 2009 1 Comment

Wow, it’s been so long since I’ve posted anything up here. I’ve been busy, but I’m still FunEmployed. Let’s see, where did I leave off last time…
Hmm, last I wrote about was The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. That was about 3 weeks ago. I applied for an online editor position, did a trial for [...]

Chiaki!! Time Waits for No One November 11, 2009 No Comments

I love The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. It is one of my favorites. But then again I’m a sucker for the whole boy/girl high school friendship stories. Hana Yori Dango is another favorite. I don’t know what it is? Is it the innocence, the true, non-gender friendship, before the falling in love? Who knows [...]

A couple “Bangs” October 21, 2009 1 Comment

Now that I’m home, I’ve signed up for a couple classes. I know, spending money is not what I’m supposed to do. But I finally have time and I decided to take advantage of it. So along with the Letterpress class, I also signed up for a “Re-Invent Yourself” seminar and a Web Design/Build course.
So [...]

Futura Lite 30 & 18 No Comments

Last Wednesday, I finally started my letterpress class at the Armory Center for the Arts. I’ve been wanting to take this class for years, but always used the same excuse, “don’t have time because of work”. Of course, I can’t use that excuse any longer. I should have used the “I’m unemployed and broke” excuse. [...]

Am I offending anybody with this post? October 16, 2009 1 Comment

Hilarious, I thought about posting this on my Facebook, but didn’t want to offend anybody. Since this is my blog and I can do whatever I want…

Thanks for sharing, @eproulx.

Isay Weinfeld No Comments

I have 2 obsessions that I’ll admit to, purses and books. I love coffee table books. I have a wall of book shelves in my living room and it’s overflowing. I need to add more shelves to hold all my books. They’re everywhere in my house, lots of design and architecture books. Some of these [...]
