  1. ...i'm not one to normally do this, but i'm turning to 12oz for advice and help...i need a new place to live... ...bit of a background...after finishing college i moved halfway across the US with some friends of mine for a reason that never really manifested itself...so my lease is up in a couple of months, and i have no intention of staying here any longer...and the last thing i want to do is move back...i have no obligations to anything, and am willing to go just about anywhere...so give me some feedback on good places to live for a year or so...my criteria is pretty simple: ...1) hot girls (...is this completely shallow of me to put at the top of the list?...) ...2) affordable... ...3) good people... ...4) a good art scene (...i exhibit regularly as an artist and also write about art...) ...5) being able to get around by bike (...i hate cars...) ...6) i like painting trains... ...that's about it...if anyone has any advice for places to live, or places not too, please let me know...also...this is a mult-national plea, i can pack everything i own of value in a couple of suitcases...
  2. ...i have wondered about the anti-trust ramifications myself...time will tell...all major mergers have to be aproved before they become legit anyway...but either way you look at it, both companies have monopolies on their individual markets anyway, as you guys are arguing, quark is the standard, everybody uses it, the same with illustrator and photoshop...combining all these into one integrated system could be used to take advantage of companies that need to use it, but it could also yield some great new programs...
  3. ...inlines are the new hot shit again...like multi color inlines...one right next to the other...mostly with flourecents...it's the hotest new shit since blocky arrows and funk letters...jump on it now, 'fore somebody calls you a biter...

    Painting clean

    ...you're way too nice...and i thought i was the only one that was a fan of the old colorworks 'sky blue'...i had a huge stockile of that stuff when i found it all for 30 cents a can...i only have one left now...
  5. ...npr did a story recently about fatalities along the rail from the perspective of the engineers that have to deal with it...they interviewed conductors of the Boston transit system...really good story...here's the link... npr ...sorry to mac users, like myself, because the audio file is not quicktime compatible...
  6. ...it's good...i read the book (...well one of them...) when i was a kid...the movie was definanyly entertaining...english humor, only americanized enough to be able to capitalize on mass market...mos does a good job (...although i wouldn't classify it as an english accent...he just speaks more articulating and slightly uppity...) along with the rest of the cast...the puppets rule!... ...worth seeing...whether you've read the books or not...
  7. ...i picked up the new Mountain Goats and Decemberists album recently...

  12. ...i haven't owned a tv in years...you don't miss it...and then when you're somewhere and you see it, it seems really cliche and boring...i remmeber i was visting my dad and he was watching some crime drama that he 'tivo'd'...the whole story line and plot was so stupid and ridiculous...it was like watching a hardy boys book for adults... ...i watch movies on my laptop sometimes though...
  13. ...i'm with villian on both my scores...
  14. ...there was a book that came out near the end of last year where it was argued that the EU will very soon surpass the US as the world's super power, or at least share the role...it all boils down to how well the EU can act as one group instead of a bucnh of seperate countries...the first real victory being the EURO surpassing the dollar in value...the Eu has a larger GNP than the US, thus giving it more power in the economic world...the EU has spent that last years building their nations to be stronger and more productive...meanwhile, the US has been waging wars in other countrys for the past four years, with no sign of stopping, while the economy has consistently dwindled...
