new year

I return to New York more or less unemployed and look for work.  In the process of updating my portfolio and resume I made this for my 5th year project, The Vomitorium.  It feels like a really long time ago but I’m pretty pleased with the results.  It sort of cracks me up because it’s a heavily photoshopped image of an analog model that was built to look like a digital model.  I like the aesthetic.  I also posted a not as good night shot, and some other news after the cut.

It’s a bit difficult looking for work in the architecture field right now, mainly because nobody is building anything anywhere.  Even the UAE is slowing down I hear.  I’ve been really busy despite the fact that I’m not working.  I got sick from running around so much.  It’s also pretty cold here,  like the low is 8 degrees.  The hot water didn’t work when I first returned, so Hannah and I couldn’t take showers for like 4-5 days.  Next was the internet.  It was “accidentally” cut by the construction workers below and so didn’t have internet for a week.  Just fixed it yesterday, only because one of my neighbors took it upon himself to do some work.  There is good news about job stuff on the horizon, but I’m announcing nothing so as not to jinx it.  

Christmas vacation was good, it was a bit of culture shock to return to Sacramento after living here for the year.  I actually realized that it had been the first time outside of the 5 burroughs in a year.  And I’ve still never been to the Bronx.  I’ll post about the CA trip some other time.

Also did the no pants subway ride with Dan, Danny, and Matt.  I’ll post about that some other time too.

I’ve been going to the Compleat Strategist on Thursday nights for 40k, and seems really cool.  I have yet to get a game in, but I’ve been pretty unorganized about it.  However there is a tournament on Jan 24th, which I’ll participate in.  I’ll let you know how that goes.  And I’m looking forward to making this a regular part of my schedule.

Oh yeah Hannah and I will very likely move soon.  I’m not gonna say too much as to not jinx this either but it’s a good place, cheaper, and not full of ridiculous problems like construction workers and no hot water, etc.  Moving will be a bitch though.

So it’s shaping up to be a new job (hopefully)- new apartment (hopefully)- new friends- new year.  I’m enjoying it so far.
