"As a humanities undergrad, I had the pleasure of interning as a Curatorial Assistant at the Polk Museum of Art. The only coffee I fetched was my own - LOL - and the hands on experience was invaluable! As an example, I was fortunate to be able to help install one of Dale Chihuly's first Macchia exhibits, which were seated at angles atop pedestals reaching up to six feet high.

I'm grateful for this memory.

"Wow. This analysis of architectural spaces and their associated social use is fantastic! I've long since been interested in the correlation between architectural spaces and their use by those who inhabit them.

Thank you for posting the link to the DVD. I adjunct at my local community college - and it will be perfect for my Contemporary Humanities course!

"Someone should start a micro tour business based on this -- THE UPDIKE NEW YORK(ER) CITY TOUR -- and take out one of those little ads in the back of the magazine."

"So you make it harder for a random worker to do their job because you disagree with policies of people who are far removed from the process? It's funny reading how he justifies how much importance he puts into his annoying project. Also, we've had our bags screened way before terrorism was such a political tool. I'd like SOME way to think I'm somewhat safe during the miraculous event of human flight."

"During a given workout, Phelps burns over 4,000 calories. After a certain point, your body just needs calories, and lots of them. Ultramarathoner Dean Karnazes eats like crap, too:

"However, on these long runs, I find it impossible to consume enough calories eating wholesome foods, there’s just too much fiber and bulk that fills me up without providing the necessary calories. So, on these longs runs I resort to highly refined foods and calorie dense items, like pizza and pie. During one 200-mile run we kept a food log, and I consumed 28,000 calories in 46 hours and 17 minutes of running. And I still lost five pounds!""

"Absolutely the latter. America is drowning in good music. There's so much diversity, everyone can find a genre they like, and so much volume that even the relatively obscure bands have to put out good work to get attention. It's really a blessing that there's so much out there."

"I'm sorry to comment here but I just have to vent about this pompous gas bag. Only a corn-fed spoiled brat could have the luxury of whimpering that his profession was no longer relevant but he didn't know what he wanted to do yet. And what's with the "I will definitely give up in two years time"? Why not today, cowboy? Guess that Thunderbird wine doesn't go down so well after being wined and dined by the hotel and transportation industry.

One last thing: never, ever listen to anyone who without a whiff of irony or sarcasm begins a sentence with "In the future,".

"I can assure you, Prime's offspring are deee-licious! Most of the steaks are dry aged for about 28 days in a salt cave at the restaurant. The night we went they had 40 day aged rib-eyes. Very tasty.

I'd still head over to Keefer's, though. Best steakhouse in Chicago."
