and the room is very very cold.

they were filming at the DC 9:30 club show a few days earlier as well. might have even mentioned they were filming a dvd. anyone heard anything about either of these?

LUCKY! my apt complex sent out a memo letting us know subletting our apts was against our lease terms and we could be evicted if caught. i have a colleague that has her apartment up on craig's list for $10,000 right now (and is taking "applications"). yowza.

i was told the other week at the office that Nintendo 64 is "Old School" and these days old school is cool.

indeed. although, now city council is thinking that might not have been the best bit of emergency legislation they pushed through after getting complaints from the police department and senators on the inaugural committee. there's a new piece of emergency legislation being worked on to have the bars open until 4am instead and different hours on sunday all together. i figure this inauguration is going to be a political mardis gras of sorts. it will be completely crazy and crowded and cold, but i'm sure a blast all the same. as long as you have on your walking shoes.

Maybe there's already a thread somewhere for this, I searched and was surprised to not find one. So who's coming to DC for the inauguration????? The mayor keeps saying he's expecting at least 4million people, maybe 5. The secret service disagrees based on hotel bookings (i guess they're not paying attention to craig's list or adding in how many people have spare bedrooms, couches and floors to accommodate guests). Metro is suggesting people walk everywhere. It's going to be so much fun and so exciting! I'm so glad I live here!

That is your humble opinion and since this is a matter of opinion there is no right or wrong answer. If a gallon of milk cost $2 one year and then $4 the next year and you are earning $12 an hour for both years, then indeed, you do not have as much money the second year as you did the first. Cost of living is relative and it factors into pay or there would be no such thing as cost of living wage increases. Yes, having income is good. But it is never as cut and dry as you make it out to be in regards to which is better a cut in pay and keeping your job or losing your job. There are cons to bo

When I saw Jim James doing "Going to Acapulco" in I'm Not There, I was sold. I had to hear what My Morning Jacket was all about and am completely hooked now.

I wonder how many people will avoid "Sympathy Street" because the song is after all "Sympathy for the Devil" ummmm, they might as well have a "Sister Street" for "Sister Morphine". what a bizarre thing.

Answer that question when you actually have to take a pay cut in order to keep your job and can then barely pay your bills, put food on the table, and live a semblance of a normal life. A CEOs wages should reflect how well a company is performing. The regular worker's wages should reflect what peers are making doing the exact same job elsewhere. The wages should also keep up with inflation and cost of living increases. If they don't or workers don't receive cost of living increases, then that is the same thing as taking a pay cut.

very cool that he's coming somewhere close to DC. i thoroughly enjoy Glenn's solo shows!

did this site crash anyone else's firefox when ever the page attempts to load the pictures? i can't read the interview because of it.

you make a very good point.

if they make a movie about this, Sean Astin should play Blago.

i was too young to really understand what happened or know much of anything. but i do remember my dad telling my sister and i something about music and this guy that was like no other and that there would never be another like him and someone took that away from everyone. and then my dad spent the day in his bedroom with the door closed.

I can't believe I'm writing this, but I have three pieces I created that were wilco/jeff inspired. i'll post images when i get home tonight. they can be found on my website: www.isadorah.com if you want to trudge through everything to find them. "You Are My Light (What Light)" "On a Darkened Stage" and "disposable Dixie Cup drinker stumbling onto someone else's stage" (which is fairly obvious by its title, not by looking at it though. again, i'll post pics tonight when i have access to them. i was in an art show once, at the opening reception someone was intrigued by my disposable dixie cup

I'm totallly "She Belongs to Me" by Bob Dylan.

the find/change feature is HUGE for InDesign! i have a monthly publication that is pretty complex. we use expert numbers which in 2 requires you to search through manually to find each number and change. that can take over an hour to do. with CS3, it takes 5 minutes and a few clicks of the mouse. i'm all about efficiency. the nested styles in InDesign are much improved as well and are like nested styles on steroids now. there are a lot of color correction features and masking features in Photoshop that are very nice. you can now edit and tweak a mask selection after you have created the mas

it does, but if you restart you have to switch over to the work environment, it doesn't remember which environment you used last. it indeed does not let you change the top tabbed palettes to be side tabbed palettes (which you could do in previous versions, well in CS2). and if you want to keep the palettes tucked like the default palette, but move the whole lot of them to somewhere else, it won't let you do that. it also won't let you tuck and stack palettes into certain parts of the work area (like under the tool bar) which you could do in previous versions. there's a small group of us that h

even more annoying about the solid sidebar of palettes: i am on a dual monitor setup and want all the palettes on the other screen and you can't simply move the whole lot of them, you gotta drag them one by one over to the other monitor and then tidy them all up and can only stack them with the tabs going across the top which is just dumb because you only need a palette to be so wide. if it gets too wide it covers up the window of whatever else i have open. and then, say i open Flash or Dreamweaver which i rarely use, I'm stuck with those annoying palettes in my way again and have to either cu

I haven't even heard of that stuff. I live such a sheltered life!

Really. Wild. I find the help guides to be helpful in the Adobe stuff. When the IT guy originally installed my InDesign he didn't install the Help section. I had to get him to add it because I actually use it. I have heard that the PC Adobe stuff is different from the Mac stuff (and when I have taught Photoshop workshops on a PC I do notice some differences). I haven't ventured beyond InDesign, Acrobat, Photoshop, and Illustrator though. Then again, I know InDesign inside and out and have taken classes where I knew more than the instructor did. My biggest gripe with CS is that in 3 they change

oh, to clarify, the electronic stationary is Word templates and completely separate from the Outlook issues. I tend to lump all things Microsoft into one flawed package. I think I have been spoiled by my Apple programs and Adobe software. I mean, shouldn't everyone be able to type a bullet with a simple key stroke. I tend to forget the Microsoft suite needs lower expectations.

ok, so we solved the added .vcf file problem by creating a new signature and then deleting the old one. no idea why the .vcf file got attached in the signature. the only way to get a .vcf to show up in an email as an attachment is to drag it into the email. and you can't drag it into the signature settings pane. bizzarrooo-ass program. so here's a new one that came up today. (i tell ya everyday something new pops up with these microsoft products, i am starting to hate the idea of having electronic stationary). a colleague uses the electronic letterhead template and word decides it won't prin
