that is badass, designerror. we share similar taste in vehicles. i love them rugged and capable. what's the make and model? is it british? reminds me of a scout.
i have been walking home for lunch and cooking. i think i just felt overwhelmed today. our 'commander in chief' has resigned and the responsibilities have been divied up until we find a replacement.
it's a wonderful change though .. i get a lot more design say! yay!
is divied a word?
and hey rand .. sorry about your new york times magazine print mess up. hope it didn't cost you a client.
and emokid .. we love you too.

So, tonight i hang with Yoga Instructor. She's a tough one to grasp. I like her a lot, but can't figure out what's happening. She did tell me she wants to get married and have kids right away. So maybe it's best to be at a distance for now. Makes me think of this song for some reason:

In a groundbreaking new book that does for art what Stephen Pinker’s The Language Instinct did for linguistics, Denis Dutton overturns a century of art theory and criticism and revolutionizes our understanding of the arts.
The Art Instinct combines two fascinating and contentious disciplines—art and evolutionary science—in a provocative new work that will change forever the way we think about the arts, from painting to literature to movies to pottery. Human tastes in the arts, Dutton argues, are evolutionary traits, shaped by Darwinian selection. They are not, as the past century of art criticism and academic theory would have it, just “socially constructed.”
Our love of beauty is inborn, and many aesthetic tastes are shared across remote cultures—just one example is the widespread preference for landscapes with water and distant trees, like the savannas where we evolved. Using forceful logic and hard evidence, Dutton shows that we must premise art criticism on an understanding of evolution, not on abstract “theory.” He restores the place of beauty, pleasure, and skill as artistic values.
Sure to provoke discussion in scientific circles and uproar in the art world, The Art Instinct offers radical new insights into both the nature of art and the workings of the human mind.- Where can I buy?canuck

I can't decide if I should spout more utter shite spontaneously and without much care for what I'm actually saying in the Mumbai thread, invent a totally bogus camera and write a review of it in the £80 camera thread, or get on with walking around my studio dropping things inneffectively into all these useless fruit crates I got from the supermarket.
