After a few months of nothing here

Filed in General Gabbing Leave a comment

I have been neglecting my Blog here so I figured I better write something. I have been so busy with home improvements and working at my new job, yes my new job as of June, which I am loving. I am finally working full-time as a designer. I am not animating just yet, but being able to do some work in a creative field right now truly is a blessing.

I have been spending a lot of time trying to learn from my fellow designers and finding out proper design and how some elements work themselves into layouts. For example, I have learned a lot about how different designing emails are from web layout. I look forward to my continued learning, as that is what I believe really drives me in everything – LEARNING.

In other news, Allison and I have been working hard to improve the condition of our house. I spent a lot of Spring and Summer adding new plants to the yard, and now we are working on painting another room, as we painted one bathroom earlier in the Summer. I am looking forward to checking if our hot tub was fixed too. I am supposed to check it tonight.

Now, for some random things I have stumbled upon. I love music, especially while I work. I have been listening to a lot of Grooveshark lately and I just today found StereoMood, a new streaming music service that is great. It lets you pick the mood you are in and then finds music appropriate for that mood – Genius!

Alright, that’s it for now. If you would like to follow more of my ramblings, in a more consistent manner, check me out on twitter, @diegosocart12.

Moved In

Filed in General Gabbing Leave a comment

Finally, after four days of moving, my wife and I are completely moved out of the old apartment and into our new house! We went over and picked up the last item (a futon) last night and drove it over in my little Honda Civic. That was a lot of fun driving over brick roads with a trunk open and a futon matress and frame hanging out. It was actually pretty funny as we bounced over the bricks. It was also a little sad leaving what we had been calling home for over a year now, but I am so glad to be done with moving! Its great not to be moving heavy washers and dressers. I have to thank my friends Jon and Emily, who helped Allison and me so much with moving. We will have to return the favor when they move in a few weeks. Now I need to still get that hot tub cleaned up. Its starting to cool down here very quickly and I would love to use a nice warm hot tub at night after work. I was just thinking about my pal, Adam, who is out in L.A. now. I hope he is doing well and hopefully on the trail to finding a sweet 3D modeling position at a studio. There will be more on this later, I’m sure. For now I just wanted to wish him good luck.

Ah, my wife and I just closed on our house last Friday and we are so happy and love the backyard! Here is a picture taken from the backyard. http://twitpic.com/jdzjb. I have so enjoyed relaxing in the backyard the last couple of days. Its really a great house and my wife and I are so fortunate to own it now. The next project is getting that hot tub running:)
