had fantabulous weekend

had a fantabulous weekend – dinner parties, nice walks, mateo’s banana pecan pancakes *yummm*, friends D&E over w/ precious baby marissa, and the oscars.

Oh – and today the newest site I designed for Fine Brand Media, went live! Check it out: BrassRingSystems.com. Many kudos to our incredible staff & teamwork on the production!! Really my first major corporate website re-design…. pretty amazing. Did the flash too (obviously) :)

Any of you using Fireworks 4? Are you noticing when you resize your vector graphics they get pixely (like it’s smoothing) around the edges & dont stay straight. well it sucks – please let me know if you are experiencing this. most of the time you have to redraw the graphic!

:) ok thats all for now

train

HEY!!!! Train’s new CD is about to be heeeeeeere! You can preorder it off of Tower Records & receive a limited edition Drops Of Jupiter lyric booklet… pretty cool – if you’re into that kind of thing. I think their new song is AMAZING. This comin’ from a girl who was watchin these boys play for 20 people here in SF over 3 years ago…. Dig em. Their site is www.trainline.com

So hey all you out there! You diggin the blogger or what?! I’ve been laughin cuz my friends will call & say – “SO you went up to Tahoe boardin, huh? – cool!” But I admit when they then ask “How was it?” I couldn’t help but say – “uh…. you probably already know how it was, huh?” :) For the record it wasn’t all me bitchin about the damn rental place screwin’ up – Matty & I had some very nice meals and overall super yummy time together away from our life and the constant arranging and organizing of our new flat – and that’s always good :)

alright – time for me to go home now – but first to go sweat a bit at the gym so I dont freak out on someone cuz I’ve been sittin in one place all day WORKING!!!!!!

tahoe was fun but…

Tahoe was fun – but gawd am I tired of renting my gear!! When you grow up with a gorgeous mountain in your backyard and all you have to do is roll out of bed, put your gear on & grab your season pass, it’s a bit hard to endure the 5 hour commute (hectic traffic on friday nights) to Tahoe – all to deal with renting gear and having to learn a whole new mountain (for me it was new, I’d just boarded Alpine & Heavenly before)… The kicker was the damn rental place – even tho’ I told em twice I needed it mounted goofy they mounted me regular and I didn’t double check till we were up to the top. My bad really, but I told them TWICE!!! So – I had to cruise down backwards on this damn lefty mounted board – (kinda tweak my leg somehow) – praying some cool boarder had a screwdriver to remount my bindings…. *jeeeeeshk!* – so got up to the top again by about 1:30, (by that time it was definitely time for a cold beer on the deck) – and then made it in for a few runs before the clouds set in too thick.

Anywayzzz….. Beautiful day yesterday & today! We went on a huge hunt for a slipcover for our free loveseat… wooo hooo.. and that’s my sweetie watchin sports :)

Note: This is my very first post using Blogger! And, sadly, the oldest blog post of mine I can find. However, before Blogger, I had been hand-coding my own “blog” updates on my website – literally with HTML via FTP – for about a year or so.

I created my first website on Homestead in 1997, mostly with scans of my illustrations. The first domain I registered was SillyWill.com, as back then I would often publish things under Willo’s World or Sillywillo. :p

I registered WilloToons.com on March 28, 2000 and the rest is history!
