On monkey work...

I love everything about designing, except for doing monkey work. You'll hear this term a lot from me: monkey work is basically pixel pushing, paper cropping, project mounting, brainless labor. All monkey work that I would rather pass off to someone else (albeit, someone who is just as much if not more OCD and anal about craft as I am). Once I'm done with the design part, I want to move on to better things.

But, I must admit there are certain kinds of monkey work that I like to do. One thing that I love to do is put postage stamps on envelopes. I could do this hundreds at a time  -- especially if they're pretty stamps... because really, who doesn't love stickers.

Start placing your bets...

So I'm not quite sure why I'm starting a blog again. Certainly not because I like to write, nor is it because I have lots of free time (sarcasm). I guess it's because I am forgetting things, and that's one of the worst things right now, so I need some way to remember. Paper? I will probably lose it. Chances are, I will probably lose this blog too... let's see if I can make this last a year.

To my friends, who knew me back in the xanga days: You probably remember me neglecting the xanga that I finally submitted to signing up for after everyone else had been happily epropping away for years (I think I should have gotten some kind of prize for being the last asian to sign up for an account). Well, here I am again in the digital world. If you happen to come across this: hi again!
