I don't know. I've applied almost everywhere I could think of and/or willing to work at. No one has called or responded for almost 2 months now, and I can't re-apply for another 2-3 months. Ugh.

But today as I was eating sushi with my parents, I kind of had an epiphany.
Maybe this summer, I'll have a chance to get "26 ANIMAL STORIES" rolling again. Remember that? Yeah.

I don't think I'm going to go to summer school.
I definitely don't have a job.
I don't know how I'm going to pay for my future apartment.
I don't know how I'm going to pay for school, gas, car, food, or life in general.

But this summer, I'm just going to let myself go. No school, no worries, for once, I want some time for me.
And I'm going to get "26 ANIMAL STORIES" on its feet....and hopefully....I'm praying....it'll at least bring in a little bit of cash...enough to pay for my car, least.

I'm really liking the top one.
But lemme know what you guys think.

here's a logo thing i came up to tag the merchandise with. general thoughts?

HEY GUYS!
I need your professional opinion as artists and consumers.
Which one looks best? Top or bottom? Do you even like it, etc.


So I'm finally getting this thing in motion because I don't want to work on my 2 papers and I need a logo and stuff to produce it under. Sooooooooo.....lemme know your general opinions!

MY FISH HAD BABIES.
I got home today and my brother's like, "Did you see the babies?" and I was like,,,O____O WHAT BABIES?!
And voila. There are currently two very tiny sunspot guppies (i think that's what they're called) swimming around in the tank. Granted, we should have dozens and dozens and dozens of them (ew) but I think we accidentally destroyed all the eggs when we were cleaning the tank. i mean, how were we supposed to know? lol. Or, they could've been sucked up by the filter. Or...they could be LIVING in the filter. Ew, just got the goosebumps thinking about all those fish. hahahaha.

BUT THEY'RE SO CUTE. THEY'RE LIKE UBER MINI.
Who would've thought fish were cute, hahhahaha

My job is.......BORING. but really laid back and I'm getting paid way more than I deserve to be paid for what I do. Remember panda express? Yeah. that's the kind of thing i do. And vacuum. And sweep. And call out order numbers. And make salads. Not that bad, really. I just hate how long my shifts are....and I work friday nights, which suck, hahahaha, but oh well. I'm REALLY grateful for the job and I really shouldn't be complaining.
I work MWF from 6pm-12am, but depending on the manager's mood, they can extend it to 1 or 1:30 am. no biggie, I suppose. More money for me, hahaha

But even WITH a job and 3 classes, I still feel like I have alot of free time. Well...probably because I haven't really been attending class or doing my readings, hahahaha.
BUT THATS NOT THE POINT. The point is, I'm gonna go on the hunt for an internship at a museum. Why this sudden interest in museums....

Also, I'm gonna open a brand new line of toukenjen products under the name "26 animal STORIES"..........more on that later when I ACTUALLY have stuff for it, hahahaa. But basically, they're gonna be shirts, bookmarks, bags, artwork, buttons, basically anything that involves an animal in some form or another. Neat, huh? Well, i thought it was. lol. This is going to be my life project. Like, I'm really gonna make it happen and I'm really gonna open a real, live store you'll see at a mall called "26 animal STORIES". I don't think I want it chain. I want one store only, personal, a local thing. Of course, an online shop will be available, =)
So I'm really saving up on things I need to make this happen....like buying wholesale shirts, investing in a sewing machine (i don't know how to sew, btw but I'm bent on teaching myself. hell, i taught myself how to knit), a button making machine, etc. When things go well, and I get a big enough place of my own, I'll invest in some laser and offset printers, even my own screenprinting machine. Those things cost so much, lol.

OKAY. enough about that; I'm getting myself excited.

It is REALLY cold in Palmdale. Like.....winter chill cold. No clouds, but I don't care. I'm just ecstatic at the fact that I can bake again without burning up the whole house.
So, I'm off to buy some supplies and make cookies and cake.
