Yesterday was my last day of work at Biggs | Gilmore Communications. I probably worked more yesterday than I have in the two years that I’ve been there. They had me finish up a ton of projects and actually start and complete an entire Flash animation yesterday. It’s always weird to leave something like that, even if you want to go. Everyone was saying how they’ll miss me and how talented I am—I really don’t know how to respond to that.
On the way out I was given some gifts. First was the customary interactive department lava lamp, which is sitting underneath my velvet Elvis wall hanging and making my apartment feel like a hippie pad. Second was a program that Nayt made me: The Simon King Design Studio. Check it out, it’s really funny.
In somewhat related transportation news, my van hasn’t gotten any bids on eBay yet, but my performance parts did finally come in from Italy. I can’t wait to get them installed, but I think I’m going to try and get the electrical system to work first. The riding season is pretty much done, so my plan is to start the spring with a kick ass Motobecane.

Christmas is coming really quick this year; my family celebration is Wednesday. We’re doing it early because we’re going down to Florida to visit my Grandparents—everyone but Emily that is. I’m not sure why she isn’t coming, but it’s probably better anyway since that would make a pretty full car ride there. As a side note: Emily and my mom are going to Ireland in the spring. I really want to go there some day.

Over 10 people have told me to go see Amélie. So this weekend I’m driving to Ann Arbor, the closest place that it’s playing. The trailer looks great.
