Can time move a little faster please?

I am so obsessed at this point. [REDACTED] is taking over my life. I'm checking my email every five minutes, facebook every three - basically, I need something else to do. Homework is no good, too boring. And there's only so much to do at work.

Basically, its just amazing to see my loves being meshed and becoming one awesome product. I'd do more on the project myself, but we have such an amazing team, there is no way I would I take work away from them. They are better at it than I am - so while it would be fun to do the design/writing/production/back end/management myself, it would entirely defeat the purpose of partnering with such an amazing and talented group of people. This is where you hand it over and let them do their amazing amazing thing. :) So now its a waiting game: is there something for me to do now? 'not yet' now? 'not yet' now?

In other news, the weather is amazing here and we have been super happy to be outside and enjoy it. Other than today of course, cause I'm stuck in an office with a schizo AC, that can only do sweltering hot sauna or frigid ice box. No in between. Its 84 outside and I have a hoodie on. Seriously.

Classes continue to go as expected, which is basically lots of work but not a lot of challenge. All the challenge and the fun is [REDACTED] which so effing awesome, I am just chomping at the bit to show you guys!

T minus two weeks and counting

This weekend was amazing. No, I did not go to ComicCon (sad face) but this was worth not going. We did the photoshoot for [REDACTED]. And guys, the experience was amazing. So many emotional moments - my idea is being made! Its real and its beautiful and its going to be a thing!

I've always been creative, but there are very few things I've created in the world that are easy to point to and say "that was me" - well, me and Jaimie and a whole bunch of amazing people. But I was a part of it! I have lots of things I have created for myself, or for a small group of people, but this is big. Its surreal, and, when I let myself feel it, completely overwhelming and exciting. We are two weeks away, today, from announcement and it is killing me to continue to hold it in.

And on top of the amazingness that is everything we are doing, I met and worked with truly amazing people. The Espionage team is fun, talented and extremely professional. And when my part was done, I had a blast hanging out with the gals and Tony, Andy and Curtis. You guys made my afternoon. But dude, the shoot was so together, there were no snags, no problems, and we finished on time. Unbelievable.

Here are the BTS shots, if you haven't seen them on my Facebook or Tumblr yet:
