Not watching. Maybe later. I can't do allergies right now.

Yay Aimee! Out would be a good thing.

Drew's reminding me of that butter commercial from the early nineties with the bread doing a very dirty tango with the knife and ending up...buttered. Might have just been in Canada.

Goth enough for you, Jilli?

Niiiiice. I need to do a photo shoot in a place like that.

Aimee, the apartment sounds great, I hope you guys can get it.

Are there any abandoned mental hospitals in Seattle? How about smallpox hospitals?

How about smallpox hospitals?

TB hospitals would be even more goth.

Sanitariums. Fair point, though.

Mental hospitals are gothiest. The one I found in Rochester Northampton had rooms that were all scratched to shit on the inside, probably by fingernails.

Oh, Aimee, that sounds great!

Very cool photograph. [eta the Manhattan one. The scratched up room is too creepy for me]

askye, in my experience (and this is from a while ago, so have a nice pile of salt with it), retail work and receptioning are not very far off from one another in pay. I have twice left office jobs to work retail, once with a significant cut in pay, and once with a small cut in pay, and both times was much happier in the retail job. And I wasn't even in management.

I ... I don't know off the top of my head. But I have friends who would know, and they're also friends with cameras. Not that they'll have any time to do anything until after Burning Man, but still. I should go bug Marc17 about it.

I just told you that freaks me out!

It's artistic! It's madness made manifest! It's showing not telling!
