w00t!!

by the way, Taylor, are you a lomographer, or is it merely coincidence that you own so many bizarre cameras?

e.g. images such as these from super cheap cameras (supposedly)

wow. i feel sick. i hate feeling sick. anyone have a remedy to prevent me from puking? no drinking was involved either... this is pure, straight-on sick. grr

The modern rock door was: Sabatoge by the Beastie Boys.

Damn should of phoned in.

I might have, but I just got it and liked it so I don't care what you think mister master of the board!!!

Jsese, didn't you post that before, when you originally started using the name "Jsese"?

That email reminds me of the test group in elementary school I was a part of who learned "whole word spelling." We were expected to memorize the spellings of words instead of learning to sound things out, or all those silly grammar rules like "i before e except after c" or how when you have two vowles together, the sound is the long version of the second vowel. Do you know how many words there are in the english language? Too many to memorize! It also meant that we really had trouble reading words that we hadn't seen often, even if we could auditorally recognize the word. I had a written word vocabulary of about 50 words until grade 3 when my teacher took me aside for "special" classes and we revisited all those grammar things my sister learned in kindergarten and grade 1. Needless to say, that method of teaching kids to read and write was abandoned.

Hello friends!

Hello all! I'm not sure if anyone is interested, but I know that some people are thinking of buying homes in the near-to-relativly-near future. Scotiabank is offering a free home-buyer's seminar, here are the details:
