this post is at the request of eli and scott. both have told me to put new things up.
so this post is going to be an update post, and i will try to update as frequently as possible.

i graduated in december with a degree in textiles, apparel, and merchandising. it has yet to hook me a job, but ive been searching pretty hardcore for two months now. ive been told that most graduates dont get a job until between 6 and 9 months after graduating. so ive got some time, however i am impatient. i want a career now. but ill just have to bide my time.

i recently got a new computer.



its a mac mini. quite powerful for such a small little machine. i got it so that i could become familiar with adobe illustrator, the program that is the standard in the apparel design world. i have begun my self teaching process, having completed lesson 1 in my adobe classroom book. its good fun.

my lovely girlfriend is living in paris right now. its pretty painful being so far away, but hopefully ill get to see her soon, as long as i can find the money to fly there.

climbing is rather stagnant. its cold, snowy, and not pleasant outside right now. i could be cross country skiing or something, but its not climbing, so it doesnt count.

other than that, i will try to update as frequently as possible. bear with me.
