On a side note, the Martin Puryear exhibit at the MoMA was fantastic. And, I think I screamed when I got to see "Christina's World" in real life.

The Cooper Union...I think I've walked by that before. Isn't it around 8th street by some KMart?

Now explain it to me. Is it like a really awesome and FREE art school if you can get in?

It is near 8th street, near NYU. And yes, it's an amazing art school. They only admit 65 students a year, and 10 transfer students. And, it's totally free, anyone who gets in doesn't pay a dime.

now that the time has come to pull the trigger, my CEO doesn't want to, for sentimental reasons, because they go way back together. so, not only can't I get more results out of the territory, I end up looking like a *****.


I could use a drink......



Your boss and CEO simply cannot understand your thinking on the subject. It must be so frustrating for you.

Who funds the school then?

Is it all based on donations or is there any government assistance?

Friends who get in fights over ping pong games...

Never retaliate when someone hits a ping pong ball at you in anger over their own poor performance. Never.

I was just playing some pretty intense ping pong. I won 3 games, he won 4. Now I'm in a sour mood.

I read that it was all donations. From alumni and whatever other sources available to them.

There's a few places like that. Most usually have huge endowments. In music there's 3 free schools I know of, all 3 are world class (because they get the best applying for free school).

Curtis in Philadelphia (funded by Zimbalist's rich wife back in the 20s)
Colburn in LA (By some oil guy and some other rich dude with the last name Zipper)
and now Yale (Someone gave 100 mill to the school of music and now it's free for all who get in)

For a year I hardly put my cell phone in the same pocket as my keys so the phone wouldn't get scratched. In the past two days I have done nothing but and black isn't kind.

Also,the Chelsea Queen winter outfit:
Juicy Couture dog fur hooded bomber (cuz fur is so luxurious)
Burberry grey novacheck scarf (cuz its so subtle)
Cheap Monday black jeans (cuz ****** is so tight)
Uggs (cuz they are so comfy)

That sounds disgusting. No wonder people are loathe to give the gays rights.
