Venice Underwater – http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2008/12/venice_under_water.html

This is insane! Some pretty neat photos. All I could keep thinking was “that looks cold.”

• Automated Telephone Assistants – This is probably the most frustrating thing ever. For one, the “assistant” doesn’t ever correctly identify what the hell I’m saying and winds up making me sound like I’m speaking robot. Not to mention its own speech is slow as molasses. I JUST WANT TO TALK TO A HUMAN BEING. If your company has one of these, plz die.
• The repetative terrorist attacks on my vehicle – I must have done something to piss off the automotive gods becuase my poor car keeps getting relentlessly attacked. First it got the shit kicked out of it last month when I left her parked on the street for ONE night. Then this morning when I walked to my parking garage at lunch I find a rotten banana peel on the windshield. There must be some angry banana eater out to get me. Ridiculous.
• Crappy coffee – Whoever made the pot this afternoon fails. I had to put not one, not two, but five french vanilla creamers and a packet of Splenda in my mug just so my coffee didn’t taste like pennies.
• The weather – Hey Mr. Fog, I like you and all, but not when you sit your ass right outside my door and fart mist all around me which settles into my hair, thus causing my head to resemble a squirrel tail. Do.Not.Want.
• People who think they’re designers – I agree with most of what Glenn has already posted in his blog but I wanted to add my own two cents. Just because you own a macbook pro complete with adobe products and you know what hex color #ff99cc is doesn’t mean you are LYKE T0TALLY THE BEST DESIGNER EVAR. Go learn, read and come up with innovative ideas and then we’ll talk. Aspiring to be a good designer takes a lot of work and is not the latest trend. You and your wood grain background can just step. (Yeah, I really just said “step.”)

Please hurry, 5 o’ clock.

As promised, here’s the latest on my head;

Bye-bye longie

Hullo short

Oh, and those lovely bags under my eyes you see there are due to the fact that I slept like complete shit last night. Apparently I am 6yrs old and still have nightmares? Yeah, not fun.

In other news, if you have stumbled across my blog for the first time today, chances are you were directed here from my myspace page. The only explanation I really have is that I’m sick and tired of that website. To be frank I wish it never existed; its a HUGE waste of my time. Gratefuly as of late, I have been more and more disinterested in hanging out there with each passing day. I only log in a couple of times a day and rarely on the weekends. If I do find myself lingering on the site its out of pure boredom to which my OCD kicks in and demands I update my profile, upload a photo or go profile-hopping (which hardly ever ends well). Its retarded and there are far more productive things I could be doing with the internet besides commenting the person I sat behind in highschool the type of bread I have on my sandwhich today.

That being said, I am excited to announce that I’ve finally begun working on designing my personal site which will be an expansion of the blog, will feature a portfolio of projects I’m working on, contact info, etc. I’m super excited.

I don’t know who or if anybody even reads my ramblings but if you do, know that I sincerely appreciate you. And don’t be shy! Feel free to leave any comments, suggestions or send love/hate mail to me at: lizfranco[at]lizfranco[dot]com.

I love getting paid and going broke all in the same week. Bills are so fun….SIKE.
