Things I say...

"Fuck my ass!" - Used when frustrated or in distress.
"Circle gets the square!" - Used whenever someone says "I agree".
"Don't call me a goathead!" - Used whenever someone says "go ahead".
"God bless America!" - Used when ever I want to swear, but am in mixed company.

Don't forget to check out the list of movies I want to see for the rest of the year.

Incoming mail, outgoing mail, and photographic composition.

I got a postcard from France because Annie loves me.

I am burning some CDs tonight, and more tomorrow, and I'll mail 'em out soon! They'll go to hamadryad, shawnwrites, anamorphic, adpaz (send me your new address, please!), chrisctp (re-send your address, please!), pucette, jarbabyj, zyada... Did I miss anyone?

Can anyone recommend some good sites with tips for photographic composition, i.e.? I can do a google search with the best of 'em, but I was hoping some of you might have some experience with specific sites. Anyone? Bueller? Books suggestions are great, too. Again, I'm mostly looking for framing and composition tips, maybe seeing color as well. I don't need too much on lighting and shutter speeds and such because I don't have a camera with controls over those things.

6. No Frank


7. Painted floors

Why Trading Spaces is clearly superior to Changing Rooms

1. The carpenters (Handy Andy of CR is kinda a dick...)


2. No nagging homeowners! They're not designers, so shut 'em the fuck up!


3. Genevieve. And Amy Wynn. Rowr.


4. Not so RUSHED! Time to actually see a room come together.


5. More design ideas usable at home


6. Frank


7. No Painted Floors
