Nothing major going on this weekend, far as I can recall. Talked to Jared the other night, apparently they are moving to Lafayette, and he wants me to come out and stay some time, see the new place and all, see Bridget and Lilian. Which could be cool. I should try and get Frequency and Katamari Damacy back from them at some point, too. Those guys need to stop moving around, for reals. Been trying to get in touch with Ramen for most of the week, but as yet my efforts have met with little success. He seems to spend all his time either at work or with Mandy, which I don't resent considering, though this is one time especially that I wish that guy would just get a cell phone or something. Or like, voicemail or an answering machine or any kind of thing. Maybe I'll just mail him a postcard.
Thinking about old friends combined with the time I've spent talking to Sadie about our respective lives and experiences has really sparked a rekindling of some of my old interests, which I find surprising. I feel a lot more interested in the world around me right now, at least a lot more than I have for a while.
I'm going to be taking on at least 2 more projects with the group and looking for a permanent position, preferably something with decent hours downtown. I hate early mornings. I've already figured out what I can't do because of previous NDA's and various confidentiality clauses and promises not to join competing companies, which leaves out at least 3 seperate industries and my two most promising leads, but oh well. That's business. Got a call late yesterday afternoon from a lady at a design firm, but I missed it and she didn't say what the offer entails in the message she left. Hopefully she'll call back, as she left an extension but no number. Which is not at all helpful.
I have been reading an insane amount this last week, something which I expect will carry on into the weekend. Quite a range of topics, too. Also I'm trying my hand at blind contour drawing, which is a lot harder than I thought it would be. The temptation to look is almost overpowering, sometimes. Maybe I should just stick to sketching. I was never much of an artist, even when I was drawing every day.
