I can't figure crayons out either. Technology is frustrating.

I was expecting the owl.

I would like to do this but I don't really have the MS skills or time to muck about with it.

there are no mspaint skills
mspaint defies all skill unless you're my friend helltime who basically uses mspaint all day to pass the time

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 20:17 (3 years ago) Permalink

That's not a pentagram, it's a Star of David.

The first one was too confusing and this one is too simple and lacks depth. Try to find a middle ground in your future work.

i KNOW. i am just asking why he did not make normal compass map.
is ok. i can deal, i just have to flip things in mah head.

tehresa, Thursday, 26 July 2007 05:22 (3 years ago) Permalink

Makes sense to me!

Clay, Thursday, 26 July 2007 05:30 (3 years ago) Permalink

it is v. interesting, though. my map would include many different things if flipped, but i think of my neighborhood in the standard compass directions. if you had made yours in a normal top=north fashion, would it change what you included?

tehresa, Thursday, 26 July 2007 05:32 (3 years ago) Permalink

I suppose I might have thrown in the bakery.

it's something like this, but i didn't consult a map. i left out a few minor streets too.

It's the base of the big statue, next to the cathedral -- the eye is drawn to the winged battle and moon-face and giraffeasaurus thing, but at the base there is a giant crab claw clutching a severed human head.

wow

sunny successor, Friday, 27 July 2007 20:16 (3 years ago) Permalink

Fun facts:

- that's allegedly, like ... the largest gothic-style church in North America, or something
- it's not even finished, hence the scaffolding
- its official archivist/librarian is Madeleine L'Engle
- its yearly Blessing of the Animals freaked the hell out of me when I first moved to town, because I went out to get tacos and there was a BULL and a PENGUIN walking down the middle of the street like nothing was up
- if you zoom in really far on that picture, you can find me urinating behind a bush

nabisco, Friday, 27 July 2007 20:18 (3 years ago) Permalink

Casuistry, Sunday, 29 July 2007 18:03 (3 years ago) Permalink

They have really good clearance stuff--I think there's a bunch of Dalkey Archives stuff going for like $4 right now. New York is not great for used books.
