Another useless blog.
Hi, I'm Tabi. I'm an ISTP. I love design, my (few) friends, some of my family, nature, animals, color, and sleeping. Especially sleeping. :) Music makes the world go 'round. I worship at the altar of Photoshop, Illustrator, glue, paper, and pencils. I'm a Vitamin Peddler with a "Healthy Attitude". I like good blogs. They take up a lot of my time online. I have plans and I am going somewhere, but I'll be having to get off my ass in order to get there. I'm trying to get the hell out of the country(not the USA; the country) to start. I desperately want to achieve balance in life.
K, this was supposed to post before, but only saved as a draft. Here it is… days later.

I have an interview Tuesday at 4. At H&R Block. Not exactly my idea of a perfect job, but it’s obviously only temporary if I get it. I don’t even remember applying. It’s way better than that one place I went to in the ghetto. That place was filthy and scary. AND if I get it and they train me, I pretty much have that going for me every year around this time. Hopefully I don’t need it after plans are acted out. You can never know with plans, though.
My favorite band has changed. That’s what you get, The Elected, for not putting out a third album soon enough for my huge musical appetite. Maybe this year. Maybe. My musical tastes make me feel like an island. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad, but I do miss sharing! Oh, how I do.

My mind is cluttered already. That doesn’t mean the year will be bad, it’s just annoying. Every day is a new chance to start over and my mind said “Not today.” That’s O.K.
I got Digital Ash In A Digital Urn today. I’m listening to it now and I have to say it’s not what I expected. It seems like every day I learn and re-learn not to judge a book by a cover. Especially if you’re judging one book by another’s cover. All that’s to say I like it.
Bright Eyes’ art director, Zack Nipper, has been nominated for a Grammy for the Cassadaga album art. If you haven’t seen it, it really is worth seeing. I’m sure someone you know owns it. Right? RIGHT?! It’s definitely one of the best concepts I’ve ever seen in album art. It looked like a lot of fuzz, but inside, there is a “spectral decoder” that sort of reminds me of a Ouija board thing. The grey mess turns into awesome pictures and text. I think it deserves to win. There were a lot of people who were all ga-ga over TOOL’s album art (not nominated, by the way), which I thought was lame. It was just 3-D and it didn’t go with the album at all. It seemed just to be a marketing scheme and people ate that shit up. Also, the whole “there are secrets in my album art” crap gets old. Secrets? Why?
Zack says,
“I just feel really lucky to work for the label,”
Word.
