(in shock)

I am a HUGE fan of Dancing With the Stars. And this season has been the most dynamic and fun to watch yet. So many talented people, dramatic moments, great entertainment...

But tonight's results show just left me staring at the television thinking "What the f**k?!"

Sabrina Bryan, by far the most consistently talented and entertaining dancers on the show, was sent home. She did not deserve to go home, not when we're left with somebody like:

Jane Seymour--who is extremely graceful and elegant, but doesn't give the sort of varied performance that Sabrina did.

and Jenny Garth--who's honestly failed to really capture my interest, partially due to the fact that she has a mini breakdown every week.



This is me right now (ugly gray jacket and everything!):


The new office.

Okay, finally! I just wanted to share some images of my desk and parts of the new office building. I don't have anything interesting on my desk besides a computer and my tablet..oh! and a desk lamp. But I plan to remedy that soon..

My desk...



The atrium...It's pretty epic.


More epic atrium.


The second floor entrance from the elevator.



And that's all I have for now.

Not bad, eh? I like it.

first sketch!

At least the first one posted here...This is Mari, one of the many characters that inhabit the world that Laura and I have created. She's from Naida, a country consisting of hundreds of islands, and was adopted by Harry and Kyan. She possesses a gift that's exclusive to some native Naidans: divination and psychic powers. Relatively quiet, polite, and easy-going.



More characters and environment details to come, sometime...

OK Go!! Oh-oh-oh!

Last night was awesome. OK Go rocked. Just look:



And here too! (they're singing a jingle for a karate school the lead singer saw when he was young)



And even after the concert ended, the awesomeness didn't. Laura, Jon, Kelly and I went to the Claddagh pub for drinks. We basically spent the entire hour or so laughing and drinking and generally just having a great time. It was the perfect way to end a day like that.

I've been seriously lacking in my "activities that twenty-somethings are supposed to do" quota. I hardly ever do things like going to concerts and going out for drinks. So it was a nice change, even if my throat still hurts from yelling at the concert and laughing at the pub.

Here's to good music, good times and good company! Huzzah!

Crash the Party!



You're not the prettiest girl in town
I'm not the only boy with sullied clothes and a sullen frown, so
To hell with Valentine's, to hell with perfume
To hell with chocolates and picnics
And Sinatra tunes
Cuz while the rest of the girls are drowning in roses and songs he composes
And while the rest of the guys are all trying
All trying so hard

Oh girl, let's crash the party
El Dorado on the lawn (hey, hey, hey)
Let's burn holes in the carpets
Kicking, shouting, dancing on the tables all night long

I'm not so good with subtlety
You wouldn't say that I'm the picture of urbanity
Never put much stock in suavity, courtesy, chivalry, gallantry
All that useless jewelry
But while the rest of the girls still sigh for the night he was smiling politely
And while the rest of the guys are all trying
All trying so hard


Oh girl, let's crash the party
El Dorado on the lawn (hey, hey, hey)
Let's burn holes in the carpets
Kicking, shouting, dancing on the tables all night long
(Oh girl, let's crash the party)
All night
(Let's burn holes in the carpet)
All night long
