We never close.

Cinematic Moment:  "CM Illustrated Week"  Postcard #7

I was standing outside a bodega underneath my apartment on 96th when I decided I didn't want to work for someone else anymore.  I wanted to be able to travel, to go back to school, to write, to learn another language.  That was the day I made the decision in my mind to quit my job and freelance.  I had no idea where I'd end up or what I truly wanted to do.  It was terrifying and invigorating.  All I knew was when I sketched this, I felt my life was more wide open to possibility than ever before.

I'm glad you enjoyed the funny stuff I figured you'd appreciate it or think I was a weirdo. :) There was one a link I meant to leave you earlier , but forgot to...
www.engrish.com

You may want to put on an adult diaper before you check this out because I have literally laughed so hard I peed my pants when reading this site.

In that "nasty boy" video the best/saddest part is when the guy in the thong is humping the air and rubbing his junk all over the railing. lmao sooo gross.

I stumbled across your blog in a kind of obvious way, and I love your writing style. I hope it's okay to ominously watch this blog.

Thanks Randi. Of course you're welcome to the family!

Nerf--Engrish is one of my fave sites. Have you heard Dave Sedaris "when you are engulfed in flames"? He has a whole disk on Japanese translations from his time there. Pretty damn funny.

Dee-How are holding up? I keep meaning to ask you that. xo

Chonny....thanks for asking... :)

Im doing shitty. lol..if this were my blog, Id take it upon myself to leave a huge long comment about the hell known as 'my husband' but since its not my blog Im just going to leave it at: "Im super stressed and my hair is fallin gout in clumps."

And for the record, I understand why those divorce party people make cakes with the groom laying at the bottom covered in gooey frosting blood.

I loved this blog. An "Open" sign is so plain and simple, and yet, that one word can mean such a huge life change.

I wish I had the skillz to pay the billz working freelance doing anything... or to even get a job that would mean anything to me at all.

I'm loving the little illustrated posts thing.
