My journal situation is almost as dire as my Gallery - but here goes a point form style update lifted from `dammitMEL for maximum efficiency:

- I got a California driver's license. This required doing both a written and practical test and was a massive pain in the ass, but luckily I passed both without any issues. Good times. It's $chris's turn now.

- I made a collection based on the search term "together" which can be found here: [link]

- I bought a couple of cool paintings by ~blinky1pxp which I'm quite pleased with.

- I shipped my old car back to Canada and got a new one.

- I went to Toronto for the my birthday weekend which was a good time.

- I visited Boston to see some friends and saw a baseball game at Fenway Park (Red Sox vs. Yankees). Great city.

- I missed out on seeing Radiohead at the Hollywood Bowl. I will forgive myself for this one day.

- We of course released Fine Art Prints / Studio frames ([link]) and have a few more products in the works in time for the holidays, including some really cool stuff from deviantWEAR. Save ur monies!!

- We hired two new super clever people $deVoice and +Qulastro who are pushing things forward at a furious pace which is both exciting and exhausting at the same time.

- I said a sort of goodbye to $chix0r who has moved out of Prints/Retail and in to Community Development full time. Despite her best efforts she's still not rid of me as we manage to interact on something almost every day.

- I went to a dog birthday party hosted by $spyed and =JaninaZ. I didn't actually know it was a dog party until I showed up and there were dogs wearing party hats. Awesome.


That's all I can think of for now, I'm sure I missed out on a bunch of stuff but I'll try to do this more often so it's easier.

Everyone is complaining about "summer" being over here in sunny southern California, but as near as I can tell all this means is that it gets dark a little earlier and rains once per month instead of never. Anyway, I'm looking forward to another "winter" here instead of Montreal.
