The quest continues
it's day three now. the tension is growing. narrowed down between two houses. i feel like it's the miss america pagent, or america's top model, or better yet, average joe!
Today we met with Kyle, a builder. My dad said to us in the car on the way over, "whenever I say 'Kyle', I think of that guy in Shrek2" after that comment, i couldn't really look this builder in the eye.
Other adventures include:
Stopping at Kohls for a look around. I picked up some button-downs for 8 bucks. Just to make Sarah Dignal happy. I also examined the crazy 3.50-5.00 clearance rack of men's button downs. Playing the game of "WWJSB" What Would Jon Schaller Buy? Yeah, there were some high possibilities, in my opinion. You should check it out, Jon.
But perhaps, my favorite part of Kohls was standing in line. There was a girl standing in front of me with a bright orange zip up on. On the front it said "Holland". I spent a good deal of time mentally sizing her up, and contemplating whether I could tackle her, and jack the zip-up. All with good intentions, of course! It would have been a good match I think.
During our meeting with KYLE, I was looking at the names of colors of paints. I decided it would be alot of fun to be a professional color namer. "cape cod grey, monterey sand, vintage wicker, bordeaux (it was a reddish brown), tuxedo grey, and versailles blue" (all options of shutter colors!)
We also discussed lighting. I really had to bite my tongue, and not spontaneously yell "I love incandescent lighting"!
I had a picture perfect latte today. It was amazing, the coffee shop, the town it was in, everything down to the attractive barista- perfect! Unfortunately the foam sunk a bit by the time I ran back to the car for my camera, but this does it some justice. oh, and the natural lighting from the windows- so good!I have a plan to work here, and then take product shots of the coffee, print them huge big and put them up in the shop! please forgive the reflection in the mug, it's a no good product shot, from the technical aspect!

holy crap we're brain twins. i play wwjsb ALL THE TIME...every time i'm in a store with a rack of men's button-downs i walk past thinking in my head, "yes no yes yes no no no yes" as to what js would choose.
and i too aspire to grow up and be the color namer -- paint colors, crayons, markers, nail polish, lipsticks, blush and eyeshadow, and heck...i'll take on neighborhoods and streets too. the cool thing is to have themes in the neighborhoods. take my dad's for example: he lives in emerald crest which boasts of drives and lanes such as turquoise, sapphire, and aquamarine. hexcellent.
This post capitalizes my thesis on why I cannot decide whether to love or hate you, Meredith.
Don't worry, I love you.
at least for the moment.
Ah yes, the incandescent lighting. How could I forgot?
