Level Up.

It's been a while... and a lot has changed. My life has been simply surreal lately.

* On Sunday, June 1st, I moved in with my boyfriend Cory into a new apartment down the street from my old one.

* On Saturday, June 7th, I graduated from Empire State College with my Bachelor's of Science in Visual Arts.

* On Monday, June 9th, I accepted a job offer from The Chronicle and in two weeks will be an Arts Writer - a job that will morph into Arts Editor as Cathy DeDe, the current Arts Editor, readies to move out of town. I will be starting June 25th, 2008.

* Today, June 10th, I submitted my two weeks' notice to my job with W.F. Lake, a job that I have held for the past three years through two moves and through going back to school and through quitting smoking - I have changed so much sitting in that desk day after day.

It's as though my life is a video game and I just got a Level Up. 2008 has certainly been a year for change.

Needless to say, my art and my online presence has taken a back burner while I re-sort my life out. I'll be picking it back up as soon as I settle into a groove with everything. Thanks for staying with me!
