A Useful List of Things I Thought About While Walking Along The Street

{1} I saw some photos in a bookstore that caused me to think about a project I've been meaning to work on. Because of those photos, which started me thinking in a new way, I now know how I plan to go about my own work. This will help me finally complete the project which I promised to do about two years ago. Fortunately, I have a very patient client for this project.

{2} Wasting time at work playing with style sheets is never time wasted.

{3} There is a US mail drop box at the corner of Lake and Colorado.

{4} The Dalai Lama is over 70 years old somebody just said. I thought he was young, like 35 or something. Was I misinformed then? Or am I now? Does anybody know? I am going to have to research this some more.

{5} Writing a song is hard because it requires concentration. I'm not so good at concentrating. It's a hard thing to do while you're walking along a street with buses and cars and people. It's also hard to do at a coffeeshop where they are playing loud techno music.

{6} Always include the fonts with your Illustrator file. Otherwise you will pay for this in ways more terrible than you ever dreamed.

{7} There must be more to this life than high-fructose corn syrup.

{8} For one thing, there's Trader Joe's Salsa Autentica with the yellow lid. Just like mom used to make (in one of my past lives where my mother was a large, gentle Mexican woman who cooked like a champ.)
