Ashley Guillaume http://adoptedkorean.com Thoughts, musings, and random bits of awesome from my brain. posterous.com Tue, 03 Jan 2012 02:24:08 -0800 Growth http://adoptedkorean.com/growth http://adoptedkorean.com/growth I wanted to write about 2011 and what I learned from it and how I want 2012 to be better until I stopped, looked at the page and realized, "I don't want to write this anymore." Instead, I will strive to make myself and the things I am able to control around me the best. I'll continue to grow, learn, and re-ignite old passions. I feel that's more promising that writing down what I did wrong and a false plan for how I hope things will turn out. Plus, who wants to read sappy sob stories over and over again? Definitely not me anymore. I broke up with that part of me and really don't feel like going back.

This is called "5 things" and will basically feature 5 completely related or random things that I have on my mind. Nothing too flashy just a list with maybe an explanation if I feel up to it. I was told that if I write 5 things I'm grateful for every day it will help to train my subconscious into thinking I'm completely awesome. Instead though let's go with 5 any things on my mind. 

  1. I learned that André is half Japanese. That makes a lot of sense now that I look back on it with him learning Japanese in college. 
  2. The context menus in Illustrator are incredibly powerful. Seriously, precise number increments rock! The Move and Shear menus are insanely powerful tools that I toyed with today.
  3. Blend in Illustrator is also a tool that is incredibly powerful and not often used by my creative brain. I shall remedy this. 
  4. I have decided that I no longer want to do Freelance work. I also have realized that I say this every 6 months. This time I'm hoping to stick with it.
  5. I have been inspired by Ben Barry from the Facebook Design team and want nothing more than to buy my own silk screen tools and start making some prints. I'll have to research all of this.

Liz came over to the new place and to entertain her I gave her my action figures to play with. I'm not sure if this was a really good or really bad idea.

Old friends. http://adoptedkorean.com/old-kicks-old-friends http://adoptedkorean.com/old-kicks-old-friends
2011-07-13_11

There's nothing like wearing an old pair of kicks. They're like a baby blanket for my feet. Kinda gross looking but so comfortable! Some may think I should have thrown them out years ago. I just call it a type of self-preservation. Live on old friends! Thanks for jump starting the sneaker addiction so many years ago!

The Visual Dictionary of Typography!! http://adoptedkorean.com/it-finally-arrived-the-visual-dictionary-of-t http://adoptedkorean.com/it-finally-arrived-the-visual-dictionary-of-t After a very confusing ordering process, I finally received my copy of The Visual Dictionary of Typography from The Book Depository. One thing to note is that one should always check which field is the Billing and which field is the Shipping address beforehand. That was my mistake and once I noticed I e-mailed The Book Depository immediately. While a little slow at first, once I was able to reach the customer service at The Book Depository, everything was smooth sailing. The book arrived in a cute lil' envelope and now it's in my hands for typographical goodness! Also a quick little tidbit, the reason why I ordered from The Book Depository is not because it's based in the UK or it's better than any of the other online book shops, but because it offers free international shipping which is a great big bonus for me now that I live in Korea. The prices are comparable to that of Amazon and again, once I was able to get into contact with customer service, everything went along smoothly. Another colleague of mine who didn't mess up his order received all of his books promptly within a week of ordering. In the end, as long as I have the book in my hands I'm happy!
