How fast can you type the alphabet? Mike’s top score so far is 2.333. seconds Notably, he beat my high score with one hand. By the time I finish posting this, he’ll probably be below 2.

So. We’re downloading Typing Of The Dead now. I may have unleashed a monster. But, hey, if the undead ever reanimate, destroyable only with a fast keyboard, this house is so where you’d want to be.

Weekend ToDo, part 2

Thursday, December 1st, 2005

So after you’ve had your fill at Graphaids’ sidewalk sale, you should wander over to Santa Monica College’s Photography Gallery for Sachi Kato’s reception and show, Tranquility.

I met Sachi today at Cafe Balcony. She noticed I couldn’t resist taking one of her flyers and introduced herself. I’m looking forward to seeing more of her work, which is dark and lovely, and falls visually somewhere between oil paintings and silver gelatin prints.

40% off sale

Thursday, December 1st, 2005

This Saturday, December 3, Graphaids’ West LA Store will be holding a 40% off (everything in the store!) sale from 9AM to 5PM. It’s worth a stop for holiday shopping too - they’ve got a lot of excellent stuff beyond art supplies, including toys, photo albums, frames, and a great selection of frouffy pens, if that’s your thing.
