one hot summer day, when i was 5 years old, my mom was going to take me and my little brother swimming. while she was getting my brother ready, i was watching television in the living room: the price is right. bored, i decided to get up on the high arm of our orange sofa and pretend it was a horse. i’d been yelled at before not to get up there, but still i went since i was alone. about 2 seconds after i got up on there, i fell, hitting the toy chest on the other side of the sofa and let out a bloody scream. my mom came running and my brother after her.

so i have finally had a little bit of time to make some headway with my blog.  it’s not where i want it just yet but it’s on the way. although, as a designer, i don’t think that i’ll ever be completely satisfied with it; i’ll always be looking to improve it but that comes with the territory.

i’ve added my flickr feed which is sorely out of date. look for that to be updated in the coming months.

anyways, that’s all for today. i’ll leave you with my new favorite pic (from b in addis):

and i’m back.

i know that the blogosphere has missed my presence terribly but fear not! i am back. all is right with the world again.

what should you expect from my blog?

nothing.

please.

well,  for now, i guess you can expect the look of my blog to change. i am a little embarrassed to be using the out-of-the-box wordpress template at the moment, considering that i am an interactive designer.

but that will change as i go along…

i hope.
