June in review

I’m kind of behind with the photo posts, so, let’s get this all done in one shot, shall we?

orchestra

The view from my window this morning.

Rain is like an orchestra to me
Little gifts from above meant to say
“Girl, you’re falling at his feet,
Isn’t lovely or stunning today.”

—”I’ll Find A Way” by Rachael Yamagata

en dejlig rosa

I should really be posting photos right now, however, I came across this beautiful song on youtube sung by the talented Robyn. I remember when she had two hits in the U.S. in the late 90’s (I feel so old saying that). I was still in high school then.

Anyway, the video is from two years ago, when she was performing “En Dejlij Rosa (A Rose So Fair)” at the memorial for the tsunami victims. I had only heard her sing in English before, but I knew that she was Swedish. There’s just something so beautiful about her voice here. . .Enjoy.

Mini cards from Moo

It’s nearly a miracle that I’m actually out of the bed before 10 A.M., however, I plan on making this a habit. There’s this theory that one can actually get more things done during the day if they get up earlier.

About 2 weeks ago, I came across an interesting photo while surfing my contacts on flickr. The photo was of some note cards the photographer had ordered from a company called Moo. So, I visited the company’s website and liked what I saw, so I decided to order some mini cards (about 1″x2.75″) of my own, as well as a card holder. The only drawback is that the cards are shipped first class mail from England (with no order tracking), so It took about a week for them to get to me in my little Southern corner of U.S.

Well, the cards looked really nice, and the printed quality was awesome. I couldn’t tell from the site wheter they would have a matte or glassy finish, so I was pleased to find that the finish was indeed matte.

This is where I would post a nice photo of my mini cards, however, I can’t seem to find the cord to connect my memory card reader to my computer, so y’all will just have to settle for a link, for now, to someone else’s mini cards.

UPDATE (06.09.2008):
Before I went on a trip to Jackson, MS this weekend, I found my camera cord hiding behind my bed. So, here are the photos of my mini cards:

Ah, yes. I must also order a new set of cards, because I failed to spell “illustrator” correctly on the first set of cards I ordered.

So…yeah.

I’m hungry, tired, and there’s hardly anything to do to justify my being at work right now. I just got here, so it would look a bit dubious if I clocked out to go take a nap or something. Being awakened at 6:45-ish in the morning to discuss car insurance payments is not at all cool.

Here’s some art:

This is Seraih, an original character I created. She’s a clothing designer who resides in the Stargate Atlantis ‘verse. My geekiness knows no bounds it seems.
