Wuthering Heights

This is Wolfmother covering Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights." It's amazing.

inspiration: the spine

In the wake of my Photo 365, my normal blog seems to be rather unused. I decided to do an inspiration post around a theme. I always save images that appeal to me as I find them on the web, and over the years, patterns emerge. I think the images are fun without context, but if you're curious I can probably track down or at least point you in the direction of where I found them. Who knows, I might do more of these periodically.

Photos: Brooklyn

I'm finally settled in NYC! I have an apartment and a job! More on that later. Yesterday I spent the evening in Brooklyn, drinking with friends in the park and taking lots of grainy-ass pictures that I love. We were supposed to be watching a movie in the park, but 20 minutes of torrential rain rendered it canceled. We sat in the park anyways, it was a beautiful night. Next post: pictures of my apartment, tales of moving in, etc.

(Also, I already posted this pictures on Facebook, but that's okay, right? I'm having trouble dealing with all my cross-posting issues.)

The old friends I'm taking with me to NYC

It's been painful, but I managed to cut down to the bare minimum of books and blu-ray/DVDs to bring. I decided I would only bring things that felt like old friends (excluding Knocked Up and The September Issue - I just want to watch those again soon so I figured I'd bring them.)

I guess this is what I would take if my house were burning really slowly and the fire started by eating up all of my clothes and computer and stuff. I'll pour one out later for all the books getting left behind.

Quantitative analysis of my job search thus far

I think the fact that I even made these graphs is proof enough that I deserve an interview.

You can see big lapses for Memorial Day weekend (May 28-30), when I was on the river, and my lazy weekend (June 3-5) where I'm not even really sure what I was doing.

Also, this:

I've applied for 23 jobs and had a total of 1 quick phone interview.

Snapshots of East 6th

Walked a little around East 6th today after I got my haircut. Here are some nice sights.

Beautiful bright graffiti

It's a little hard to see, but this statue looks like Ferdinand the Bull to me

I've always loved this painted sign

Website relaunch!

Some kind of fatal disaster in my dad's website hosting caused my old website to get deleted. So, I spent most of the evening reloading everything up and I think it looks even better than before! Hopefully it will help me find a job?

My favorite part is the favicon (!!!) and the new, resume-friendly logo.

Daily Song: Heroin

Surely one of the best songs ever made. (Youtube not cooperating so I had to upload an .mp3.)
