I finally started a pinterest account. I found it very interesting for about 48 hours. I have to say, it bothers me. In the same way that the new "it" marketing phrase these days seem to be "because you deserve it." Deserve it? Why?

I know that's a leap in my thinking . . .

Most of the posts I see are fashion ideas, home decorating, etc. And suddenly, my quaint little home seems very dingy. And I want desperately to paint! Add trim! Re-do the wood floors! Or my outfits, they just aren't shiny enough. I need those boots! Or that flowy scarf thing you wrap around your head and neck! Or that sparkly bracelet, cuff thingy! But I can't afford any of that. And is that what I really want anyways? I can't remember.

I was perfectly content before and suddenly, I feel this nagging unrest. Consumerism. Materialism.

However, I did stumble across some "boards" that are print and graphic design related. Those have been interesting and inspiring for me. Looking at what others are doing in design pushes me to do a bit better on the projects I'm currently working on.

That is all.
