Hope for a Job and Other Nonsense

I woke up this morning with an e-mail response from an application I submitted the other day, which is a rare occurrence for me. The position is at a newspaper where I’ll be designing ads, and laying out the paper. I’m definitely interested, I just hope that I get an interview soon.

In other news, I’ve been making pretty good progress on the website redesign. I’m really digging the look of the site; it’s really simple without looking amateur. The Flash elements are a little tricky to work with, and time consuming, but they look really awesome.

I’m also shocked by how quickly CS5 came out. I saw that Content Awareness video about a month ago, and my jaw pretty much dropped. It’s a little daunting, considering that I felt like CS4 didn’t come out that long ago, but it has been about two years, so I can’t complain all that much. I also checked price, and it looks like it’s going to cost around 900 to upgrade all my software. I’m definitely going to upgrade Photoshop, but I haven’t seen enough of the other programs to make a good judgement call.

The problem with my blogging, aside from it being inconsistent, is that I don’t have a central theme to talk about. It’s pretty much whatever is on my mind, much like a journal, which is nice and all, but isn’t exactly all that thrilling. I suppose I could focus on writing reviews as I did in the past, I enjoyed those, but I kinda like writing without limits. Well, I’m sure when my life gets supremely awesome and interesting (which will no doubt happen!), this blog will find its focus.
