Clawing Out of My Skin

• Sunday, July 31st, 2005 • 3 Comments

Well now that this whole redesign business is done with, it’s suddenly ten at night and I find myself… with… nothing… to… do.

This is where my eyes dart nervously around the room with the camera way too close to my face, and you catch a very slight lip quiver right at the bottom of the [...]


New Design Notes

The Counselor Idealists are abstract in thought and speech, cooperative in reaching their goals, and directive and introverted in their interpersonal roles. Counselors focus on human potentials, think in terms of ethical values, and come easily to decisions. The small number of this type (little more than 2 percent) is regrettable, since Counselors have an [...]


Man, Oh, Man

Someone seriously shit in my cornflakes tonight.

That sucks.

I was so looking forward to them, too.

In short, my little field trip of taking Greg, Lessette, and Paula (for a second time) to see Hedwig and the Angry Inch will now not include the star guest, Paula herself.

This is Brad’s heart crushing defeat by the hands of [...]
