gotta love them stockings… mo shepherd shermans here and here…
i realized that i had a brain melt the other day and forgot the most important part of the commie pizza story.
we stood in line for a while waiting to order, but when it was our turn, the pizza guy said “we are out of cheese…but i don’t want you to wait, so can you [...]
many years ago we were in Florence, Italy, and a friend of ours took us to a Communist Pizza Party. it was outdoors and there were old communists square dancing and young communists eating pizza. on offer were three different pizzas: one with marinara and cheese, one with marinara, cheese and mushrooms, and one with [...]

–crazy assed yet beautifully designed Chinese coffee tins:
yes, i did try a [...]
last night at the Walt Disney hall we went to a performance of Louis Andriessen’s La Commedia, a crazy opera based on the story by Dante, full of intense, super-intellectual music, with text in Latin, Dutch, English and Italian. one of my favorite lines was “[the three furies] screamed so loud that I pressed myself [...]
so this sign pretty much sums up what i’ve been up to.
that’s a hint, since we’ve had to sign a hefty NDA on this one. the big & happy picture is that we’ve automated something that used to take four lovely women four hours a day to do on a computer, and that’s four [...]
