Sadly no permanent job yet. I've just been getting by doing market research and graphic design contract work. I've been diligently working on my portfolio though, so hopefully it will eventually assist me in landing that illusive dream job.
I recently purchased a used, Sony Cybershot, camera for $42 on Amazon. I wasn't expecting much as far as quality, but it does the trick. Been trying to polish my "Photoshop Skills" and I prefer to work on images I've taken, so the camera comes in handy. Most of the shots I've edited thus far have been of Bella, due to the fact that she's readily available. She also sits still surprisingly well. Here's a few of my favorites:
Some other things I've been up to:- Purchased a coffee maker from Goodwill for $5, a shiny stainless steel Coffee Mate. Needless to say it was all looks; about 10% of the coffee wound up in the pot, the other 90% on the counter/floor. luckily I had a receipt, so I pulled a move outta Big Jim's book, the ole' Goodwill Exchange (only I wasn't swapping out atrocious looking apparel for Retro Ski Jackets). Wound up with this bad boy:
Vintage...
The reason for the coffee maker back story is that it led me to a surprising discovery. I grabbed a coffee mug to enjoy my deliciously prepared brew in, and upon removing the lid I noticed that it was filled with paper, including 2 $50 bills ---- Score. Must have been left by an old tenant cause it wasn't the roommates'. Hopefully lady luck is on my side, because tomorrow I'm flying out to Vegas for a friend's bachelor party, wish me luck.

Good to see you back in action....have fun and good luck in Vegas. Throw a coin in one of the machines at Slots-O-Fun for me.
sounds like a plan
About 2 days ago I looked at mom's blog and then checked yours out to see if anything was new besides the BBQ foot massage link. I'm glad to see you got some new content. Have fun in Vegas brother
You do have your fathers good luck, thank God you don't have his taste in clothing. And remember what I always tell your dad, you get what you pay for.
you know I was thinking, if all that was in there it means Goodwill made no attempt to clean it/see if there was moldy coffee grounds in it...
Dan - Great to see you posting again! The pictures of Bella are just beautiful - hope you mentioned them to Katie cuz I know she'd love to see these...hoping a job comes through for you soon. With your looks and talent, it's just a matter of time....
Thanks Aunt Jean, I'm sure something will come my way soon. Ben, the coffee maker was thoroughly cleaned by yours truly and Mom, we all know Jimmy's got styyyyle.
