busy and important

Phew!  

I did a bunch of stuff today and now I'm sitting and listening to Ace Of Base's 'Tokyo Girl' 'cause I've had it in my head since Friday.  

I got another page of my book done, and though I was totally fighting with it at first, I'm very happy with how it came out. 

I went on another informational interview, this time at Wild Card -- a super awesome craft store in Lawrenceville...I couldn't resist leaving without a book of romance novel-cover post cards and a zombie finger puppet (of which I immediately took a picture and posted it to Facebook with the caption "Grr...Argh"...I'm not sure anyone got it.) 

I went to order my t-shirts as well, but the Southside was having their annual soup tasting day and yuppies thronged the streets...and the screen printing shop.  As the shop had a theme of The Big Lebowskie (with 'The Dude's white bean chilie' or somesuch) and the staff were dutifully (dude-ifully?) downing white Russians, added to the zombie-like hordes of soup tasters...well, they told me to just drop them an email with my file and info.  Hopefully all goes well. 

On the way home we stopped at Michael's, because I was craving some craft-storing, though I used the flimsy excuse of wanting to look at gift bags for portfolio review, despite having 99% decided to order bags wholesale from the interwebs...but our stop proved serendipitous, as, though I ended up not purchasing anything at the store, the boyfriend had a House-like moment of inspiration when he struck on the plan of me getting my logo as a custom rubber stamp and then using natural brown bags, possibly with silver stamp ink...so when we got home, I sent the t-shirt store my info, then ordered a custom rubber stamp (yay!) and a case of translucent frosted bags (after much research, we discovered that we can get the brown ones ANYWHERE, including locally and we thought the frosted bags might work well too.)  If nothing else, I am SET for gift giving bags for the next...rest of my life.  And probably t-shirts as well.  (Though I threw in an order of a hoodie for myself.  Again, yay!)
