Awww, stagey *hugs* You get to hear me whine constantly, babe. You probably partially already know what this is about anyway.
I can't stand when a civil engineer thinks they know more about graphic design than I do. I don't tell them how to build roads, don't tell me how to design my work.
*phew*
Got that off my chest.
Speaking of graphic design. Do you like my AV, DD?
I'm gonna make you beg for it, mateo, like the whiny bitch that you are!
Geek, if it's what I think it is, I'll be on AIM in a few.
Mateo I REALLY like your Av. I was at Urban Outfitters today, for the first time and was really shocked that it had some wicked graphic books and figurines and stuff. Not at all what I thought it would be.
Akiva
Stagey, thank you hun...
Mateo - I am always in awe of your avatars.
I used to love Urban Outfitters.
Well, since everyone is PMing, I gues we don't really need this thread anymore.
I take that back, all the people who track our convos looking for ammo would be lost without it.
Are you ending this thread, tazz.
(that brought back recent memories ...)
Thanks Akiva. UO is one of my fav stores, but I'm not one of their many clones.
Aww Taz, I'll still talk to you on the thread!
I'm still here!
I used to love UO. I remember started a thread a year or two ago. UO + $$$ = HAPPINESS. Y'all remember that?
The only things I look at when I'm there are the books and house stuff, which are all overpriced.
Tazzy, check your pms! I'm on a roll! Okay, I'm done now.
What's everyone up to tonight?
Seriously..looking around that store everyone looks the same. Although to be fair, that whole part of Toronto has its own indie-scenester look.
Akiva
Thanks DD!
I forgot you were in Toronto. My sister is in Toronto for a few months with her job. I was hoping to go visit sometime, but it doesn't look like it's going to work out.
If my current project's picked up, I'll be going to Montreal!
My brother just moved here this week, he does graphics for an architecture firm. So we went shopping at all of HIS kinds of stores...which are so ridiculously over-priced that it made me nervous and I had to go outside and wait most of the time.
Akiva
erm ... I do graphics for an architecture/engineering firm. I guess we won't go shopping together.
I'll go shopping with you DD!
I want a sputnik:
You can get it for me.
How retro!
That's excellent! One of my fascinations is light fixtures. (my first is glassware as in wine and martini glasses)
let's go!
yay!
Hah thats funny. I'm not saying his graphic design-ness is what makes him shop at those stores...its his personal taste. Frankly if I wasn't constantly broke...I too would probably be shopping at those stores. But the fact that I am always broke makes me very self-conscious in that environment.
Thats interesting that you do essentially the same job as him though. He has been working with this company for almost 5 years I think, and worked at another architecture firm for a few years before that (started when he was 17 I think).
