Panini et Crepe

A combination crepe and panini shop with the same menu for both. The more I think about it, the better the idea sounds. Not in the near future, but maybe ten years. Gives me time to keep working on graphic design and communications while experimenting with recipes and standardizing my style. Not to mention I'd still have to learn the business behind opening up a restaurant. But I can totally see it happening. One menu, with the option of crepe or panini. Along with baked chips, popchips, coffee, lattes, teas, sodas, cream sodas, maybe a few pastries.

If this still seems like a good idea in one or two years, I might actually make it happen. Deal?

Ay, there's the rub.

This is gonna be one of those why-I-haven't-been-active-on-the-internet posts.

While I've been regularly checking my Facebook and Twitter accounts, I haven't been creating content to show you guys at all. I haven't posted videos on my YouTube channel since April, I haven't been making YouTube/Twitter backgrounds recently, I obviously haven't been blogging either.

It's not that I haven't been wanting to do this stuff. It's just every time I grab my camera to make a vlog, I realize how dull the topic I want to talk about is and that no one would care to watch the video. And every time I want to start a new project on Photoshop, I suddenly lose my creative flow. (Which is why I'm taking design and typography classes right now. I'd love to get back into graphic design.)

CircuitBuzz has also been on hiatus for a while, but that's not entirely due to lack of ideas. Tech stories occur every day. Truth is I ended up being too busy this summer to commit to a new channel, and I'd much rather post nothing at all than a bunch of consistently half-assed videos.

In regards to my non-online life:


  • I got my first real job at the beginning of summer. There's a lot of bread and mustard involved.
  • I finally got a smartphone. Sprint. Google. Samsung. Nexus S. I love it.
  • I'll hopefully be transferring out of ELAC at the beginning of 2012. (I've been there way too long.) Either as a Communications major to a Cal State or Graphic Design major at Art Institute.
  • I'll be meeting my friend Jacob at the end of this month, after knowing him for 8 years. (Excited!)
  • I've been planning a trip to England for the end of the year with a friend of mine. (Also excited!)
  • I'm turning 21 this month. Crazy.

And because this is a personal post...
Last coffee shop visit: Starbucks, Grande Iced Chai Latte.
