genius. i found out today that i can get a wordpress app for my iphone, allowing me to post on the go. i am obviously a terrible blogger but now that i know i can do it on the go, much like tweeting, i expect to do much more blogging “from the road.”

Tomorrow I have my orientation at City College. I am really excited about starting school again and finishing my art history degree. What I do after that is still unclear. I’m almost 39 so starting over in a new field is challenging and scary, especially considering I’ve spent the past 10 years establishing myself as a graphic designer and art director. Thank goodness my monetary demands are small and I’m able to work a job now that pays 2/3 what I was making just six months ago, and one that allows me to give a lot of time to furthering my education.

I’m hoping to see Avatar for the third time this weekend. I can’t explain why I love this movie so much. Maybe it’s the incredible visual beauty of it or the incredible action, and I’m even a sucker for the probably hokey love story.

I watched a great doc tonight on Jeff Koons, an artist I am conflicted about. I was a big fan of his in the early 90s but his blatant attempt to recreate Warhol’s Factory leave me a bit cold to his most recent work, save “Puppy.” I loved “Puppy.”

dreaming

of someplace warm like the Caribbean. I really need a real vacation. The first issue of New York Enterprise Report with me as the Art Director seems to be going well. We should be shipping everything off to the printer today. The staff there is tremendous: very cool, smart and great to work with so I’m looking forward to the future working with them and to doing some great work.

I need a break from Haitian earthquake coverage. It is all so upsetting. Of all the places for a disaster like this to strike, it breaks my heart.

Also, I got an email today from the head of HR at my former employer. They might have a freelance gig for me. I don’t know if I can handle that on top of NYER and school but it’s worth exploring.

My biggest challenge with working from home so far seems to be that my cat, Lily, insists on sitting in my lap the entire time I am at the computer. It’s cute and distracting at the same time.
