okay here's where you can see that typesetting drawer thing i was talking about - one of my favorite pieces at that coffeehouse show (aside from apple taking his morning constitutional of course) took one of these and had a little scene painted in every compartment, and the dividers acted as little frames. it was cool. i wanna get ahold of one of these typesetting drawers and paint something in it!

i dunno if i endorse the craft associated with this link, but if you're into gluing buttons and things then by all means have at it!

also, why the hell isn't it 345 yet? i wanna go back outside. it's like 70something today and the city of vernon doesn't smell nearly as bad as it normally does. you gotta love the farmer john plant, you really do. my favorite part of their premises is the outer wall is painted with this GIGANTIC mural of pigs frolicking (sp?) around a farm, and some farmers running and frolicking along with them. it's heartwarming. when i drive by it i picture the truckful of pigs that comes to the plant every morning, and i picture the pigs looking at the mural and just getting really depressed and crying because damn if that isn't some kind of terrible false advertising as to what goes on inside...
