A few weeks ago, I realized that I hate my desk day calendar. It's all black and white and boring beyond belief. It's amazing when my morning excitement is peeling back the previous day to find out it's some obscure holiday in Australia. Good for them, but I seriously need a new calendar.
Unfortunately, I'm a graphic designer. Give me a project and I'll make it super awesome and cool - unless it's for myself. Then I turn into a blundering idiot who forgot how to use the computer. Multi-million dollar client? Sweet design. My personal $5 desk calendar: worst. design. ever. EVAR!
The answer to this is simple - Don't make a calendar. Which is all fine and dandy, but that leaves me with the severe issue of STILL not having anything to base my day around. As a fun experiment, I made up a list of my favorite things. I thought, you know, hey, if I like stuff, then that would make a cool calendar, right?
No, because I designed it myself!
So here I am with this awesome list and it hit me like a British boy mocking my accent - BLOG! Every day, I make a blog post with the POST OF THE DAY!
DAY!
Day!
day!
So this little experiment (cuz a year is a little amount of time right? Will I be done before lunch?) will be my day by day calendar. No longer shall Tuesday be some random foreign holiday - IT SHALL BE Kingdom Hearts II day! Yay! <3
Oh, and fair warning - I'm kinda a geek. Just a tiny little bit. So yeah, my days are gonna be filled with video games, comics, books, sci-fi and fantasy. Ye have been warned.
