I'm a loyal El Chile customer but haven't tried their new place yet. I'm so happy to hear that you recommend it. That soup sounds great, feet & all. Speaking of eerily-bright restrooms, the last time I was at The Tavern (with Ayun Halliday), that restroom was lit up like a UFO. Freaky.

Made my stomach ache just looking at it, and I'm a woman of hearty appetites. Twisty, I love your photographs, and now I can also envy your camera.

But today I'm going to have roast chicken breast and a winter salad of romaine, fennel, orange, red onion, and avocado with a simple red wine vinaigrette. Got to do something to counteract the holiday onslaught of irresistably bad-for-you food. South Padre Platter, mmm.

Ay caramba! CS2 already chugs on my lemon, but WIRED says CS3 is fast, most likely because they were running it on Deep Frickin Blue. Ay caramba!

Right now I'm shooting a Canon EOS-1D Mark II N, which is a huge professional camera that exceeds my capabilities but which I bought because it takes 8 frames per second. I usually use a 30mm Sigma, a Canon 16-35mm wide angle zoom, or a Lensbaby 2.0. I've got a new tilt-shift lens that I'm trying to figure out. I use Photoshop CS2 in post, and am irked to discover that the beta for CS3 is already out. Electrodot, one of these days I’m going to put all the camera information in a post.

By the way, you might be interested in knowing I was one of those courageous white people who helped break down the barriers of segregation in Deep Ellum twenty years ago, travelling with other whites to the new clubs on east Commerce. I trembled inside every time we saw a police car, its true; but I just kept thinking of my great-granfather, the star second baseman who never got to fulfill his dream of playing in the Negro Leagues. And then the next day, we'd always discuss our struggles, and nurse our hangovers over the lunch counter at Woolworth's. Such was the crucible in which my character and values were formed.

It's also hung with the usual splendor of one lump down, instead of two lumps down. Now the immediate reaction I got, is if you attemped to get fresh with a horse, he/she will immediately kick you in the behind, applying that logic to the female bathroom of the species of human, yeah it's saying that the horse is kicking the W out of the female. hehe Anyway I tried to make sense of that.
