i just watched Helvetica with my brother. it's a documentary on the typeface called Helvetica, which i'm sure most people know. it was really inspiring, like i feel excited for my future and the path i've chosen so far.

this weekend was pretty good. friday was spent at the studio, saturday was spent at the studio, and once i got home was immediately bored so i drove to Breanne's where we picked up Calvin and they were going to a party i had no interest in so i dropped them off at this party and drove home around 11 :30. sunday was thanksgiving dinner, lots of good food as usual, good company as usual.. Father Len stopped by for about 5 minutes and that's a pretty accurate statement, i'd say. after lunch/dinner, i drove to Breanne's at 5:30 where we talked and attempted to study but we all know how that ends. we drove to Macs and bought 6 bucks worth of junk food which is a lot more than it sounds, and we ate it and watched Lord of the Rings where i fawned over Elijah Wood's resemblance to someone i know, and how Legolas is the epitome of the sensual man, and then we remembered the resemblance that Boromir has to someone who Breanne desperately wants to forget. we brainstormed halloween costumes.. i will be Bob Marley on the Halloween pub crawl, and me Mike and Breanne still have to decide what we'll be for the hall party on the 25th. i'm all for smurfs.

anyways, i left her house around 11:30, got home, had yet another sweet sweet necessary talk with my brother.

today i woke up and read the entire day, attempting to finish close to 200 pages of a book i have no idea what it's about. thank God for spark notes, that's all i have to say.

the family went to Famoso, a pretty accurate pizza place. i mean accurate as in the closest i've gotten to real Italian pizza not while actually being in Italy. so right on to that.
afterwards we stopped at my aunt and uncle's for coffee.. and grappa for those who like the taste of paint thinner :P

came home, watched that really good documentary that i'm excited to show people who i think will appreciate "A documentary about typography, graphic design, and global visual culture."

more positivity to note: i cleaned up some baggage lurking around in my technology, and i've decided to get my Italian passport. what for?

so i can live in Holland for three months this summer, and work.
