I got this idea from a woman on design*sponge ages and ages ago. I originally put this up in my apartment in South Bend, and I put it up in my apartment here just recently. I need to expand it more, but cutting felt into flower shapes gets old after awhile.

This is where I will be keeping my phone. I still need to bind it off but I am apparently lazy.

Look, it's done! And blocking on my craft room floor! I LOVE how it turned out. I fiddled with the blocking a little more after I took this picture, but it still looks awesome either way.

From Wordpress to Drupal

aubrey — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 02:12:01 +0000

So. After five great years with Wordpress, I've made the decision to convert my site to Drupal. It's nothing to do with Wordpress as a blogging platform; I work with Drupal every day at work and wish to familiarize myself with it, so I figured running my day to day blog with the framework I use at my job would be the easiest way to do this. I've spent some time over the past few weeks learning how to theme the Drupal way, and I'm pleased to find that the theming process isn't as cumbersome as I initially thought. Obviously I still have things I need to tweak, and one of these days I want to actually design a new theme, but for now, this will do.

Later on I may write more regarding what modules I'm using, how I went about configuring things, and so on, but tonight I am tired and just happy I got this up and running tonight.

New hair.

Yesterday I cut my hair and dyed it ~~blonde~~ red. Do you want me to get into the horror that is attempting to dye your own hair blonde? I didn't think so.

Hey kids! I can't smile when I take my own picture!

(Actually, I will tell the blonde story.

And I am craptastic at taking pics of myself because I never smile right. Either way, hooray.

This is my geeky Drupal Design Camp post.

Differences

From my window at the Cape.

It's been strange, in a way, readjusting to a life I lead for my first twenty years of existence.

Quick recap.

aubrey — Thu, 28 May 2009 05:26:52 +0000

I am in New Hampshire.
I love my new job.
I love living near the ocean.
I went to Cape Cod with my mom and aunt last weekend and dug for clams for the first time in about 15 years.
My last two weeks in South Bend were filled with crazy, memorable, wild, and incredible times.
