Big town.

I'm posting from my little work station at my internship in Dallas. It feels weird to be here, as if I don't belong. It's only my 2nd day but I'm still attempting to "settle in". I've not yet made any allies, mostly because I'm too nervous to even speak. It's a sort of fear of looking like the stupid newbie hang-up I've got. I hope to get over this soon, as I'm sure I'm a little bit off to them, having not said much. All in time, I suppose.
Right now, I'm starving. I could really go for a Tofurky sandwich, but I don't have the supplies with me to make one. My mouth's watering just thinking about it. 
I've been reading Craig Thompson's blog a lot over the past few days. I've rediscovered his graphic novel Blankets, and wow, it's still as powerful as it was when I
 first stumbled across it in the 11th grade. It was fate, pretty much. That day in winter when my 
heart was broken and I needed to feel that someone else felt the same vulnerable, pathetic feelings I was feeling. I found that in Blankets. Anyway, reading his blog makes me want to sketch religiously yet again. I'll pick that up again, it's a good thing for me.
I've been shopping around ad agencies here lately, trying to find a few in Fort Worth, and boy howdy, there are quite a few nice ones. I'm excited to graduate and shop my portfolio around. I can't wait.
Speaking of my work, I need to get a domain set up for my portfolio site soon.
It's almost Halloween. WHOO!
That's about all for now. I hope to get my blog going again, but who knows when I'll have time for this again.
