yea, they will ship books and cds and stuff, because it's through amazon.com, but alot of the third party sellers don't ship to canada. and someone wanted to send me a gameboy, which i could only get through .ca, so i thought it was worth switching over!

obama is doing ok these days it seems. he & durbin just held a town hall meeting, to address disparaties in illinois VA hospital payments. i think it's a bit early to judge - he's still figuring out his way in the senate i think.
I would love to paint something for you. I usually charge about $150 for a 16"x20" but we could work soemthing out if that's too much for you. Shoot me an email though and I'll see what I can do.
let's see. any urban planning books worth checking out .... i've been reading less on planning lately, and more on urban politics. stuff like Regime Politics by Clarence Stone and The Contested City by John Mollenkopf. Another good book is Cities of Tomorrow by Peter Hall - it's a nice history of urban architectural movements. Those are a few I can think of..... Oh, i'd be remiss if i didn't toss in my advisor's book: Democracy and Suburbia by J. Eric Oliver. It's more about political behavior in a suburb, but it ties it to ideas like social space.
give me your address and when i have money i will mail it to you, for reals. it's just a painted paper bag so it could fold up. but it's pretty fucking sweet.
i've probably already said this, but i have the weirdest dreams. when i think my dreams have reached the pinnacle of weirdness, nope, i go ahead and one-up myself. geez.
i could sure use a vampire emoticon right about now...
and I cant partake in sgradio until I get a connection that turns a 10 minute project into a 2 hour production... grrrr@!
