Yeah ... Uber busy weekend. Sorry. I was basically at home for like 10 hours this weekend and most of that was sleep.

The second one is madness and huger than usual because it was a going away note for IMAX. Decided to leave for now and hope the freelance art director gig turns into full-time. Gonna miss those crazy folks ... It was fun tagging all of them on Facebook, lulz.

Yeah, I upload them on Facebook. Y'wanna fight about it? Nahh ... DOODLES NOW!

Three doodles because I am craft nut. So, this new job is pretty sweet but I would've totally never gotten there without the help of a gal I worked with at the YMCA named Liz. Happened to be married to the guy who interviewed me, lulz.

First one is just the daily bit, the second is my thank you card and third one is a little tag I made for the gift with the thank you ... A crocheted scarf which you can see a itty bit of in the picture. I used my cell phone's camera so ... ya. Enjoy!

Neat thing about today: I started my freelancing job at an advertising agency on Michigan Avenue. Not bad so far. I didn't get to doodle cause I was busy but I still had time after work. Here you go!

Sorry for the oops again. I was uber exhausted the other night. As it happens, I did two doodles yesterday since I had an interview today. Again, in the order they're supposed to appear.

We ran into a lot of acts today so this doodle was interesting.

Weird thing though is the fact I sorta got grouchy and sick of it all. Wanted to leave early and all that but we still managed to see all those bands ... At least part of them anyways.

Not pictured: Mexican Institute of Sound ... Which was also awesome.

{ feeling : hot & tired (lolla'll do that)
{ hearing : breathing computers

Day two was not bad. Hotter and couldn't really compare to yesterday but that is fine. I still love you, Lolla. Another LollaRelated doodle!

And yes, I am very lazy so we usually stick around to one side of the joint, har.

{ feeling : hot & tired
{ hearing : breathing computers

I usually blog about my days at Lolla but I think I'll just doodles still. This year, I know even less music than the last so ... Yes, I'm not with it.

Although! I liked everything I saw today. Favourite: Matt & Kim. Wewt.

I entirely like this song way too much. Oh well.

So there was this time I was chilling with Joe, a gal named Lory and a boy named Brian. Lory and Brian are mostly Joe's friends so they were discussing stand-up comedians. Basically, everyone got a chance to say their top 5 except me because I am quiet and do not think very highly of my opinions at all.

I have really bad self-esteem is why. I also didn't decide in my head at the time so no big. Here's a doodle!

So, I'm going to the Pitchfork Music Festival for the first time in three years. Why avoid? My last memory of it was kind of bad and was never nearly as good as their previous event: Intonation. Why go this year? They have a comedy stage and I have never seen Eugene Mirman live even though he is among my top five stand-up comics.

I have a bonus doodle for the occasion! Not really, just funny coincidence. There's a company recruiting at Pitchfork. Just a leave behind because why not?

Technically from yesterday but yeah, glue needs drying/flattening, etc. Here's today:

It was a frustrating doodle day. That is what my doodle is about. Ah well. I have my off days.

I like this artist named Jeff Soto. I attempted to make a doodle with awesome robutts but failed, lulz. I am not very good at non-abstract, non-typographic works. Oh well, here is today's doodle.

{ feeling : tired

Two doodles today! Why? My cousin and her family are visiting Chicago this week. Her family includes my little five year old niece Alexis and I totally wanted to give her something before she left ...

It's an EcoSnooper from the Museum of Science & Industry! They wandered the Smart Home so I figured, daw. It made sense to me to make a gift tag that matched. Not only a gift tag but a thank you card and snack. My cousin and her husband really wanted some Garrett's so that's there as well.

Did I mention I recently got married and actually went to the Social Security offices to get that changed? Yeah. Here's the standard doodle for today ...

{ feeling : alright

Two interviews this week, two bonus doodles I did yesterday but didn't upload because I was finishing the gluing, flattening, etc. I will upload today's later.

I was kind of really tired after work yesterday so I sort of loafed around the house and forgot to scan again, har. Here are today's and yesterday's doodles.

{ feeling : tired for no apparent reason

So here's my new thing: I will doodle a Daria quote if I cannot think or figure out a doodle I will like. It has been decided, lulz.

{ feeling : full
{ hearing : frontierville sound effects!

Doodle today is kind of large because I found an empty sketchbook kind of larger than my usual tiny four by four inch-ish space. I guess you can't really tell as a post them but ... whatevs!

Yesterday sucked. My doodle says it. Sorry for the delay for the millionth time.

More cover letters tonight. I don't know how I'll do it.

{ feeling : lazy
{ hearing : kitties running around

I've been in the process of rereading the Scott Pilgrim series to prep myself for the movie. It's a great time. I'm still excited...

{ feeling : relaxed
{ hearing : dj stv slv - (this shit was) all i know

The bonus doodle is actually from yesterday. It was just about the only doodle I've ever given away. Take a look:

You can see why I gave it away. Basically my leave behind and thank you card rolled up in one. I really I hope I get the job, I must say. I hate mentioning such madness just cause I'm spazzy about jinxing it. Red Frog Events is just about the coolest place I've run into.

Oh yes, here's the doodle for today also.

It's totally hot out.

{ feeling : nervous
{ hearing : latest weird al polka via youtube

Ok, so you know how I applied to four joints this past Tuesday? I got a call back Thursday afternoon from one. Oh yes, and our power went out Friday night. So, that is why there are three doodles from the past three days. Sorry again!

Did I mention the interview is taking place tomorrow? I am still mad nervous. Anyways, here are doodles! Dated... if that'd be helpful.

... ... I guess I didn't really say that I was nervous. I forgot my doodle for today was kind of neurotic. Night, folks!

{ feeling : lazy
{ hearing : computers breathing and the office

{ feeling : sniffly
{ hearing : dj earworm - like, omg baby

So, I suck at remembering still. My last doodle will hopefully remind myself to keep doing this.

I don't know why or how I forget. I always remember to do the doodle itself but time flies after it's done. The past two days I was off and I wasn't necessarily doing much so it's ridiculous. I'm sorry. I guess yesterday I applied to four joints so there was that ... maybe.

I will try harder to remember! Here are the doodles from the past three days as well as the one from today. Chronological order - oldest topmost.

{ feeling : hungry
{ hearing : computers!

I'm forgetful. I mean, I remember to do the doodle now but forget the uploading part sometimes.

I did yesterday's doodle really early and then got tired by the time I had a moment for myself. So, I completely forgot to upload it. Here's yesterday's and today's.

{ feeling : lil itchy
{ hearing : so many fans

{ feeling : annoyed with luci
{ hearing : computer noises

I ran out of bits of scrap paper to doodle on so I decided to use a really old, never used Moleskine notepad. I will probably get used to it.

{ feeling : lil itchy
{ hearing : computer noises

{ feeling : hot

Apparently, this would be my fiftieth day doing this! Amazing how time flies. I didn't realize until now it was doodle number 50 ... If I had known, I would have totally done something more special, lulz.

Will have two more doodles up tonight. Sort of got married yesterday so it's been a little busy. This doodle was part of our party favors. Basically doodled on a label and made copies. No Photoshop was involved ... And yes, I am aware of the misspell of The "Flamig" Lips.

I should probably get some white out some day.

{ feeling : kind of cranky & tired
{ hearing : passion pit - the reeling

I'm tired from 6.5 hours to Sandusky, Michigan and 7ish hours back to Chicago. I did doodles. Here they are in chron-order, woot.

Two days of work and then break! YAY FOR LIFE MILESTONES.

{ feeling : UBER HOT
{ hearing : mad fannage

So this doodle isn't that great either. It is the tag for a friend's wedding gift! That is why it is a photo.

I'll be on the road tomorrow and possibly computer-less for the next three days. Will update with three fresh doodles (hopefully) when I get back!

{ feeling : tired
{ hearing : ben folds - fear of pop

This is a Lolla-Doodle I am disappointed in and won't be submitting to any sort of contest, har. Rejected by myself.

My doodles have been kind of lacking lately ... maybe? I've been feeling kind of burnt out on it but I will keep going. TRYING. I hope having a week off after wedding will help.

{ feeling : STILL HOT
{ hearing : not much

So much for more Lolla-Doodles! Will try again tomorrow. Today was really busy and this was another quickie-I-almost-forgot-to-doodle doodle.

{ feeling : HOT
{ hearing : printer madness

So, apparently there is a tee design contest for Lollapalooza. I'm going to be doing that until the deadline ... probably. Just be expecting more of this, har.

{ feeling : hot
{ hearing : squeaky shrek

So ... I guess I was free enough at work (finally) to do more than one doodle. Yay!

I was actually going to try blogging about the information in this first doodle but then didn't. Yes, I'm getting married in 10 days and yes, I'm going to Peck, Michigan in 5. It'll be good. I am going to be off so many days. Here's the bonus doodle, yay.

Woot woot! Yay doodles!

This one isn't very good cause I picked a random chapter name from the book I am trying to read. Just been super tired lately, oops.

Too much of the working. Actually, too much of the I-do-everthing-no-one-does working. Yayyy...

While not many visit here, I will say this ... Keep me posted!

{ feeling : little hungry

NEW LAYOUT! YAY! Not done yet though. Still fixing here and there but I have the basics done! Also, a doodle. Quickie doodle. Yes. More later. DOODLE TIME.

So ... I was feeling kind of cruddy not being able to afford a coffee today but realized midway-ish through this doodle that it could probably be worse. Probably.

I don't have to worry about rent ... Yet. Or utilities, etc ... Things are ok, I'm just a whiner.

So ... Today was difficult for me in terms of doodles. I doodled a lot of things actually but hated them all. This was basically the best of that crap, lulz.

{ feeling : itchy eyed

All I think about these days.

This is the third time I've done a doodle as such. It's fun and also, Joe suggested I try doing them while watching something like some sort of weird Randy Newman artist.

I may try it for a bit.

I should try keeping actual people like things out of my doodles. They just end up kind of fucked up looking. Oh well ... It's fun so whatever.

Happy one week of doing this! Hope I can keep it up, har. Why are they ghosty? I don't have a clue. My doodles never look like how they started, doi.

{ feeling : sniffly

It is like this because I have new Breaking Bad excited-ness. Who's lame? This gal, lulz.

Nothing to explain for this one except that I really should consider bringing mediums other than Sharpies and highlighters where I go!

{ feeling : hot
{ hearing : computers breathe and cars driving by

I'm trying this thing starting today where I will try doodling or designing at least one thing a day. It probably should have been a practice already but eh, what can you do?

First one is weird because I just wrote out IMAX's slogan "Think Big" so that is all I see whenever I look at it. Enjoy!
