Don’t you ever forget

I got to go on a little cruise to Ensenada this last weekend. I went with three of my former roommates and had a lot of fun. It was my first cruise and I definitely will be taking another at some point, it’s just a great way to vacation.
You can see some pictures from the trip here on Facebook.

I’m now settled in my new place, I’d post pictures but most of the place is still bare. I got a a sweet couch and a few other things but it’l be a while before I have everything to fill the place out. I get to go mattress shopping today, not really very exciting stuff, but I need a new bed pretty bad. There has also been talk of having some people over to my place for dinner, so I guess a dining room table is in my future as well. I really hate the idea of owning a table and chairs… it’l never get used, it’s just something else to have to move someday. I guess it will do a good job making that corner of my place look alright though.

The Oscars were last night, I had just gotten back into town so I was totally ok with a few hours of mostly mindless TV. I really liked Slumdog and love Danny Boyle but that movie should not have gotten so many awards. It was good, just not THAT good. The Visitor and Revolutionary Road are still the two best movies of last year, but I think The Curious Case of Benjamin Button would have been a solid choice for best picture.

That’s it for now, my posts seem to be getting lamer and lamer… it happens I guess.

P.S. The music player for each post will be back in a little bit, I promise :)

Moving on

I am done with college and I couldn’t be happier about it.

Two and a half years ago I moved down to Tempe to finish my degree and I’m happy to say that I have accomplished that. My work is so much better then it was before and I have so many more marketable skills. I’m also up to my eyes in school debt, but that happens I guess.

I signed a lease on a new place on thursday. It’s a nice little two bedroom in a quiet complex of condos, it has cool stained concrete floors and more then enough room for one. I left work about 15 minutes early on friday to go pick the keys and just as I walked down the stairs up walked my boss. He’s a great guy, but a little random. I had sent him a rough cut of a spot two days earlier and guess what he wanted to see as I was walking out. So I ended up 5 minutes late to the rental agency and was met by a locked door. It’s friday and I was late, I understand but I wasn’t a happy camper about not having my new place for the weekend. I wouldn’t have really moved… the electricity and internet weren’t on yet. It’s just that instead of spending my weekend buying rugs and lamps and chilling, I just got to think about doing all that :|
I’ll post pictures and video or something when I get in this week.

I have so much stuff and it’s not nearly enough to fill my new place. When I moved here just about everything I owned could fit in my car… that’s a glorious feeling. Now I get to buy more couches, a new bed, a kitchen table, something to put my TV on and lots of other stuff. It’s the not the cost of all of it that bothers me… most of it will come from craigslist. I just hate knowing that I own all of that, I really have no need for it all, it’s just odd not to have it. I could just sit in a chair to watch TV, which could sit on a box, next to a lamp I already own. I’m not going to eat at the table but it would still just be weird to not have one… that corner of my place would be empty. It’s just a part of getting older I guess… I’m the one that wanted to live alone for a while.

Most of my little website is gone. I no longer have school work to share, so I decided to downsize a bit. My photos will make it over to facebook after a while and my videos are now on vimeo.
My resume and reels have their own domain: david-hildreth.com

Take it easy,

Back home

After a great trip to Boise its time to head home… so I can start moving.
