Back to Basics

I’d been jacking with my theme and decided it was time to take it back to basics.

I sure miss my old theme from blogger as seen here: Click Me!

However, why lament the past? Instead, I’m looking to the future and working on a fresh new look for PN. If I can get it out of my head and digitized it is going to be sweeter than Chantico from Starbucks.

Before and After – For those Renovation Junkies

Living Room!

This was my living room when I bought it. I’ve since changed out the ceiling fan with the help of my buddy Joe who also helped with the fixtures in the dining room and breakfast area.

My Living Room

This is my living room now with a very zany rug that I found. Normally I have more of it hidden under the couch, but I did some spring cleaning yesterday and just now realized that I didn’t place it back where I had it before. In person it looks better than it does here at this angle. Also, I only have 3 Pottery Barn pillows on my couch because those things are about 50 bucks each.

The paint color is Laura Ashely Gold 3 – you can get it at Lowes. I tried multiple other colors from blue to red to mustard yellow to even a sage green. This one worked the best and I love it.

The coffee table is from World Market and that rooster was a gift from the Cribbies back when everyone thought I was into roosters. I’ve never been into roosters, they just seem to keep showing up in my life.

Wicked!

My buddy Chris sent me this…

This is probably one of the coolest robots I have ever seen. It has these really amazing life-like abilities. In the past, it seems that most of the robots we have seen have been on wheels. Bombs were disabled by some robot that was placed on top of a remote control car. With this creature-like robot the possiblities are much greater. Imagine an army of these things descending upon a country all controlled remotely from a safe location. You could really cause some damage.

“You bested me again you chocolate bitch”

A street view of my house from Google Maps…

Street view of my house from Google Maps

It looks very sunny and nice from this picture. Just look at it, it’s so fierce, it’s a fierce hot mess… haha. SNL did a great sketch on Christian Siriano, this year’s winner of Project Runway, he is funny.

I took this picture on the day that they did the funeral service for Officer Lozada. I was driving and I took it with my BlackBerry and I am really pleased with how it turned out.

Dallas Police Officer is Remembered

If you aren’t from Texas then you might not know what those poles are on the left… those are insane plastic HOV barriers.

And a picture of my dinner which I submitted to facesinplaces.blogpost.com

Face on my Calzone

And the title of this post is from one of the greatest shows on the planet – SCRUBS. Dr. Kelsoe stares down a brownie and at last gives in, “You bested me again you chocolate bitch.” I think we can all understand this phrase.

I’ve been doing some CD cover designs recently for one of my clients… here they are:

CD Cover I did for a Customer

A little birthday party gift. This was the actual disc cover

This was the outside. The graphic is by Simon Oxley, i just did some minor edits

This is my favorite type of work. Easy to design with a quick turn around. Maybe some day I should take some design classes and eventually go to work as a designer for a church or something. That would be fun.
