I got a job (sort of).

I took the advice from my dad and brother and decided to venture into getting a part-time job at the very close Target. I had an interview on Thursday, and it looks like they're going to bring me aboard. It's not official quite yet, supposed to go sometime this week to start all that business: orientation, etc. Although I'm looking forward to staying busy, having a paycheck, interacting with real people, there's still a little itch on the back of my head that bothers me. Mostly due to the fact that I've taken another step backwards, but hopefully another step back that will eventually lead me forward. The last 2.5 months have been all about stepping out of my comfort zone, and this is no different. But it will be an adventure to some degree, and maybe I'll meet some people along the way.

I was going to make an end of the week post last week, but it has somehow turned into a Monday post. Here's some late internet happenings:

-Culture Bus. I'm deeming this logo of the year, Pentagram proving once again why they're the premier design group.
-House Industries Exhibit. I want to go, but I don't live in LA.
-The Die Line. Another package design site to add to the blogroll.
-Obama might increase the chances of World Cup coming to the USA again. YES.
-Make Your Own Muppet (and purchase it). Not sure why you would want to, but it's there now.
-IKEA Interactive Closet. You can upload your own music to effect the movement of the characters. Via Mike
-Highlighter redesign, allowing 3 different marks. Nice.
-And if you haven't already, a new Watchmen trailer is out. I've noticed they have yet to use any original music for their trailers. First half of the new one is straight from Koyannisquatsi, which I guess is actually used in the movie.

awesome! Congrats on the job! I know it's not what you want, but it will do until you find something really promising.

Hopefully you won't:

1. Meet a hipster girl with a partly shaved head that is WAY too young for you. (Mike)

2. Work there for only two weeks. (Lindsay)

Yay Targets!
