blog revamp

i talked a while ago about trying to get into more food blogging.

number of factors:

1) i follow 58 bagillion other food blogs.

2) it seems intriguing.

3) maybe it will get me to eat more interesting things on a regular basis.

4) that's where i get most of my recipes ideas from

5) i don't cook of recipes often, just for things like temperature the rest i eyeball

6) i'd rather organize my blog than work on homework

i decided to set it up and give it a whirl. right now it's rough. really rough. as in there are only about 3 recipes in there so far. but hopefully overtime it will add up! so just be patient for now, i'm testing things out.

there is also the design page link right next to the recipes one. it is empty. i just thought 2 tabs looked awkward. why i think a link to no where fixed that problem.. i have no idea!

ignore them if you'd like, i'll let you know when it's something worth visiting.

perfect fall saturdays

goodness gracious farmers markets are fantastic. if only i could eat a bushel of tomatos.

woke up early this morning and kara & i got some coffee before heading downtown to the public market! finallyyy got some cortland apples! i've been waiting for weeks. also picked up some asian pears, mangos and a squash! yum

otherwise just a great morning to go wandering around. absolutely love fall.

now i get to spend the rest of the day working on some design projects and enjoying the apples :)

make your cake and eat it too

all finished with my cake decorating class!

try it all

this is what my life looks like currently. huge spreads of logos/symbols that i haven't decided on. luckily they are both due within the next week so we can move on to bigger and better thing.

the thing i like about graphic design is there is no one right answer. which means i get to try things. lots of things. in multiple colors, shapes, weights, etc. it's fantastic. and time consuming.

i'll post the final symbols when i'm done.

anyone need a logo?

artist series: ryan kapp

Ran across these the other day, they're absolutely fantastic! The artist is Ryan Kapp. Check out his website for other cool stuff as well.

chimney bluffs

Wedding at Chimney Bluffs yesterday.

Despite a tad bit of rain and lots of wind it was good. Both the wedding and reception were outside overlooking the bluffs.

two hours on the erie canal

last weekend i went on an erie canal boat tour for sara's bachlorette party (and today is the wedding!).

it was quite fantastic.

afterwards we wandered around pittsford down by the canal and went to a new cupcake place that just opened :)

and they say it snows in october...

in true rochester fashion the day that i choose to run outdoors, wrongfully assuming that i will be able to enjoy the cool weather.. it is NINETY DEGREES.

yes, 90. nine zero.

it was hot and not too enjoyable. especially because our campus is currently overrun with construction men.

but it sure looks nice, right? wanna come visit?

(that's my apartment, the green one in the way back.)

and no, i did not run around with a camera in hand. i wandered around and through campus to building 7 to check one out for the weekend :)

i am also currently realizing that it is only 10:50 in the morning and I've already woken up, went out to breakfast with a friend, done some errands and gotten around campus. this is proving well for the rest of the weekend... let's hope.

two big projects due soon, i'll post picture when i'm close to done.

this weekend is: open house for admissions, sara's wedding tomorrow, church on sunday, meeting on sunday night. hooray for being busy!

next week is my last cake decorating class! after that i'm going pro.

Dan Grzeca

sorry guys

...i've been busy.

starting a new job.

and decorating cakes.

and capturing sunsets

and meeting famous people!

and listening to their lectures! (that's massimo vignelli in the front!)

and getting their autographs! (michael bieruts autograph!)

goodness gracious i picked the right major. picture: little kid in a candy store. except substitute bodoni, Helvetica and futura for the candy.

right now my schedule looks like this:

but that's alright because sleep is unnecessary when you're meeting famous designers. and there are 24 whole hours on sundays which are always good for homeworking.

can you believe it's only week TWO?!

yeah, me neither.
