    "friend of cof": LOL.


    I've pre-ordered all of my 7"s, but still haven't received Freakshow. It's on it's way though.

    And Craig: Your new poll is funny :)

  19. vJune 17, 2008 at 5:19 PM

    Craig: ;) My top two were the same as yours (again, great minds... :) ).

    Anyway, it was very close for me, because I love them both, but I picked NYT over AKOS. NYT has not left me for the better part of the last week and it has grown on me very fast. :) Just seemed the right fit for the #2 spot.

  20. CraigJune 17, 2008 at 5:25 PM

    puja, considering that you're apparently in the US, your decision to order through Amazon UK makes very little sense. You're not going to get it any faster, and could have just waited for the preorder for the US release to show up on the main Amazon site or The Ideal Copy. You do know that you've just paid twice as much as you would have had to had you waited, right?

    Note: I know that I sound like an arrogant killjoy here, but it just pains me to see people jump the gun like this.

    i'll be 2nd or 3rd to post this, but, merlicht: it's because almost 48% of responses in the first poll were for UTS. so it's kind of an in-joke.

    i tend to be a bit conservative with my mosaics - right now i prefer black and white and unglazed tiles.

    i like mosaics because- yes, they cant be "crafty" if you dont know what youre doing (or if that is what you do?), its one of those things where you have to make specific decisions in order to make it interesting.

    i might just take you up on that offer thanks!

    I saw earlier on the talk of Time tame & Twinkies. Anyone on here a fan of Tasty Cakes? They are a Philly favorite. I love the Peanut Butter Tandy Cakes & Butterscotch Krimpets.

    Tim Tams are good! Haven't had on in ages!!! Maybe I should ask elise for a few???

    i totally voted for sleep when i'm dead. it totally has an 80s sound...but a REAL 80s sound, not the ironic faux-80s sound that all the new bands these days try to cop.

    Also - I just saw in your profile that you're a Neal Stephenson fan! Me too! My cat is named after a character in Cryptonomicon. :D

    cure kitty, I'm with you. Glad to hear this is confirmed! Can't wait to hear the studio version of SWID and the B-side.

    Pretty sure I must be the only one here, but I'm not feeling much for Perfect Boy yet. But it's quite likely that the studio version will change my mind.

    Random note: I was reading something at work this morning, and when I saw CFO I thought it was COF. Look what this site does to me!

    Moris---I love your Underneath the Stars mosaic and the kitty one too! Actually all of them are beautiful! Well done! Do you do them for fun or do you actually sell them?

    Did you ever try Stained Glass Paneling. I know it's not exactly the same as mosaics but somewhat similar. If not, I think you might like like it.

    I've been tinkering around with a glass projects here & there and I'm currently working on a panel of a cat sleeping. After I'm do with that, I want to try to make a panel with The Cure for the next project. Then I'm going to take a fused glass class next month. I love working with glass. I have to try mosaics one day.

    cure kitty: I haven't tried stained glass, but would like to some day. Probably the only reason i haven't i that i run out of time with all my other projects!

    V: One of my favorite scenes in all of the Baroque Cycle is when Bobby is saved by Teague while fighting Upnor. I laughed so hard reading that :)

    Thanks all for the kind remarks, i feel a little guilty - ie: fishing for complements...

    I am all for the Skype, definitely count me in! I suppose it would be easier for people than Ventrilo in some ways...

    Just download it, folks! Even if you can only listen, it would be cool! It's free to download and use and of course if you have a headset or headphones and a mic, you can chat.

    the thing is...after the tour will there be enough new posts for us to hijack like this one? i think everyone will continue to chat on here as long and there is someplace for us to type. skype is just a nice enhancement

    Well yes, and some people might be listening in, but using the forum to communicate, since they might not have mics. I will chat in Skype, but I will still be in the forum... I think it would be a nice enhancement!

    BTW, did I say I hate password change day!!!
