A Note On Activity, Conclusions, and Summer [Break]

Just to let you know, this promises to be a long post. Grab one of the buckets of popcorn that I KNOW are standing around right now and get comfier: I am about to inflict Necessary Tedium upon your eyes.

Ready?

Go.

1. A Happy Adventure For You All.

So as I was absent-minded-ly scrolling through the old Type 2 and Drawing blogs - I miss my teachers so much, honesty does not properly convey my desperation here - A Thought suddenly dawned upon me: I need something to do, right? And I really ought to be able to prove to the universe (or at least, the Interwebiverse) that I have, in Actual Factual Actuality, been doing something, right? And this blog is supposed to be about design, right??

And I finally put 1 and 2 together in wonderland.

[Side note: Don't laugh at the fact that it took me an entire day to come to this conclusion, okay? I am nothing if not a slow mover. My college's Athletic Team's mascot is a Pacer, I have come to terms with this. It does not mean that I'm a fast woman.]

The conclusion to Our Happy Adventure being that I am going to work on Design. And yes, that is an extremely vague conclusion, but it is never the less a conclusion. Don't push me during Summer Break, but I will go so far as to say this: Days Before I Disappear to Never Ever Land: 42. Expected Postings: 15, more or less. Probably less. Get ready for disappointment.

2. For My Inevitable Stalkers: Where I Shall Be [In The Near Future]

An astonishing circumstance has befallen me, my Roommate, and Several People We Know: We are going to Mexico this Summer, attached to the Anthropology Dept. at our school. We shall study ruins, Spider Monkeys, rural human habitats, and (because I wouldn't even be blogging about this occurrence otherwise) taking a Graphic Design Class. The last part of which I am particularly excited about, because a) Graphic Design + Picturesque Landscape; b) Only 3 of our group are taking the Graphic Design portion; c) One of those 3 is my friend; d) Whom I work well with (3X fast); e) One of my (Officially) Former Design Teachers will be there over the last 10 days of the trip.

Some other Things You Should Know: I am a recreational knitter, and a recreational photographer. And I plan on knitting a camera bag (Extra-Just-Especially for This Upcoming Trip). Which is why I feel justified in posting my progress here. Which is Coming Soon.

All this to say, I will be posting all kinds of whosamacallits here soon, and had I not properly informed you then you would obviously be in a state of bemused confusion when said occurrence eventually occurred.

3. The Final Item On Today's Agenda:

There actually is no third item on this list, but you can't really have a proper list with just two items. So here's the third. Hope you like it. Here, how about an interesting interactive website about typography to make up for all the nonsense I've made you read? www.typorganism.com
