He's out of my life

I'm going to mourn the death of baby Michael Jackson. so sad.

In the meantime I hope Perez Hilton goes away. He is now at the top of my list of People Who Should Be Banned From The Internet. Read his awful account of the news of Michael going to the hospital

straight out of a horror movie.

Liem's Aquarium in Chinatown, Maynard Alley and...King Street? Go there.

I'm not sure but I think Cupcake Royale was Anna's favorite part of Seattle.

gross

I have a gnarly blister on my foot and I can't stop talking about/looking at it.

I'm famous!

I googled myself recently and was shocked to find all the different websites linking to my work! I had no idea so many people have been looking at my portfolio and blogging about it.

Searching for "libby egan" brought up about 600 results that were 70% about me. Searching for "YIU Studio" also brought up a lot of links to my fortune teller

Some of the links:

TrendHunter
NotCot
We Love Typography
Balla Dora
vi.sualize.us
The Trendy Girl
(plus a lot of random stumbleupons and personal blogs that link back to me! yay!)

now: to use the crap out of this to get a job

Oh my. Canada. Is. The. Best. Vancouver blew my mind with extreme pleasantness: racial and cultural diversity, lovely weather, beautiful money with 2 dollar coins! hobolessness, steam clocks, friendly french canadians, the word "cheques," bilingual food packaging, gorgeous parks and beaches, hostels that feed you a real breakfast, and courteous drivers (except the guy who tried to cut in front of me at the border. Not today old man! You get in the duty free lane you better be buying liquor!)

For sure, Vancouver is now at the top of my list for awesome places to live. I loved it so much. Seriously it made Portland look like a boring pile of crap.


Stanley Park was amazing (despite the ambivalent look on my face)! Seeing a city through the trees reminded me of NY's Central Park.



Granville Island, I liked this sign.



Another view of the city with some mountains...



Canada!



Beach!



A footbridge!



OMG PIGEON



Sunset at 1st beach



No captains? No sitting cross legged? I know this means no lifeguard but what lifeguard wears a Captain Crunch hat? This was at this amazing park/beach we found by accident. There were TONS of people sitting on the grass having picnics, playing bocce, playing with their dogs (there were SO MANY DOGS).

I'm spending Memorial Day weekend in another country! Watch out Vancouver, BC I'm about to rock your world.
