I want to see your pie charts! If they’re made out of real pie, you get 20,000 bonus points.

It’s approaching the end of break, and while I will miss NY (We finally got snow!) I will enjoy going back to Savannah and being able to ride my bike. I miss Khan :(

I also miss all of my Savannians… is that a word? It is now. I’m going to go back to trying to finish my website, getting everything sorted out in time for our triumphant return January 4th, and singing along to Hercules and Hairspray.

Cute way to do an Album…

Posted by Caila On December - 18 - 2009

Sometimes, late at night or when I have nothing else to do, I like to click “Stumble” on my toolbar and explore the internet. Sometimes this leads me to random websites with “Pictures of 2009″ that make me think of all that’s happened this year. Sometimes it leads me to websites dedicated to a certain CSS code that I will then stay up for hours analyzing. Sometimes it leads me to a scientific formula (Or a Darth Vader toaster) that my dorky science side can’t get enough of.

And sometimes it leads me to random bits of inspiration, like Harry Nesbitt. An Illustrator and Designer, I randomly stumbled upon his website. And the first thing I clicked on was this:

It’s a CD cover he did for Tooth & Nail Records Album Sampler. There’s actually 3 different designs:

Ooooh...

Ooooh...

What I really like is how the individual designs relate and each is a full illustration… but you can only see that when the album is opened up.

So anyway, this is one piece of design work that caught my eye today. You can look at the full page here as well as his website here.

Sparkman!

Did somebody call for sparkman?

Did somebody call for Sparkman?

Working on my DQ submission and radio stuff. Hopefully getting my website finished tomorrow. And then Christmas stuff!

The horror!

Oh the injustice...

Oh the injustice...

I’ve been listening to the Glee soundtrack non stop. Inspirational, but it really just makes me want to get back in theater.

Look out on scadradio.org for a post about my top ten albums of the year, along with a few others. And keep an eye out on here for a series of posts about where I’ve “worked”. And by that I mean the different stores where people have asked me questions about the stock, if I can find them a sweater, what time the store closes, and if I can get them a fitting room. Urban Outfitters, Victoria’s Secret and Old Navy to name a few.

Have a Happy Holiday!

Want to know what to get me for the holidays?

Posted by Caila On December - 5 - 2009

Disappointed in the lack of snow, I decided to write this blog post to get me into the holiday spirit.

SERIOUSLY, WEATHER GODS. EVERY OTHER PLACE IN THE NORTHEAST AT LEAST SAW FLURRIES.

Enjoy my holiday wishlist filled with 7000 tshirts, toasters and Alec Baldwin.

So without further ado…

10. Darth Vader Toaster

Darth Vader Toaster

I know this one might be confusing. Most people know me as a Star Trek dork. But this toaster is just too awesome.

P.S. Somewhere there is a Star Wars Force Trainer. Find that for me and I will love you forever. I was the kid who stood in front of the automatic doors. Wait… nah, I still am that kid. My ringtone is the Imperial March :)

P.P.S.

This toaster is also an acceptable alternative, as well as the toaster that has clear glass sides.

P.P.P.S. OR THIS ONE. cylon

9. Decepticon USB Stick

Decepticon Ravage

Decepticon Ravage

‘Nuff said. I am still convinced that all State Trooper cars are Barricade.

8. Speech Bubble Speakers

Like Woah!

Like Woah!

I want to have this when I get my desktop and then mount them on the wall next to band posters.

7. These Bookshelves

Alice in Wonderland?
To either feel like I live down the Rabbit Hole or in The Burrow, of course.

6. Klingon Hamlet

You sir, are a fishmonger!

You sir, are a fishmonger!

I won’t be able to read this. However, I have read Hamlet numerous times. And if you can read Klingon, then you can translate for me. Ok?

5. Various 30 Rock/ The Office Merchandise

I could do a top 20 list for all 30 Rock and The Office merchandise I would like for this Holiday Season. I have loved 30 Rock since it started (I won’t lie, I am in love with Alec Baldwin and Jack McBrayer) and so this has been building up for awhile.

Note: If you can get me in to meet them, you will win and I will dedicate 30 (Pun!) blog posts to your awesomeness.

Picture 3Because we all know the only reason I’m applying for an NBC Internship is to eventually wear this uniform.

Who doesn’t need a hat that says EXTRA CHESE?!

Aaaaand… The Office

Picture 9To Support the RabidPicture 10Picture 11

Because it was Dwight in the breakroom with the beet (Or the freezer and antihistamines), To Support the Rabid, I want to give Dundie Awards to everyone, and mugs for Allison and JRB.

Picture 13Picture 14Picture 15

For Travis to wear when he doesn’t want to dress professional (Also, to wear while we are filming our Office spoof), an acceptable alternative, and to put on the District office door.

Picture 16

If you get me nothing else, make it this shirt.

4. Various Nerd T-Shirts

radios

What's more awesome than a bunch of old radios on a shirt? NOTHING.

2. Star Wars Sheets

starwarsheets

Although I may need you to take me to Pottery Barn. I will need to return these Star Wars sheets, because I will find them too stimulating and incompatible with a good night’s sleep. I don’t like the way Darth Vader is staring at me.

1. You should listen to SCAD Radio all the time.

NO JOKE.

I will be so happy if you just tune in to SCAD Radio all the time! For instance you could check out Locals Only on Sunday nights at 8 p.m. (Email SAVlocalsonly@gmail.com if you have local music you would like to submit)

Also, if you could get me a new copy of Elf I would really appreciate it. My copy is all scratched up and I’m getting upset that I can’t answer the phone by playing “Buddy the elf, what’s your favorite color?!”
