Children Become Grown-Ups

Aryka signed a contract with ELITE Models Inc. (so cheesey!) last week. She leaves in a week for a three year term in Paris. I'm sure soon I'll hardly recognize the woman.

The 20-Somethings Only Come Out to Play at Night

So perhaps my present user icon is causing some confusion as to what it really depicts. You see Ian (etherlad), Jenn (sassy_fae) and I (nfotxn!) spent some time as the infamous Dundas Driving Park. In search of childhood classics such as the Rotating Tooth Smasher and Auto-Erotic Bucking Horse we found they'd been replaced. Replaced by granola mom ultra-parent safe-T apparatus. At first we were skeptical of the trippy new playthings that the somewhat well-to-do parents of this posh suburb. Low floors and metal everything.

But soon the inner children were engaged with some of the less physical and more cerebral additions. Such as a braile alphabet and analog clock. Best of all, however, was this pixel board which we all indulged our narcissistic geek tendencies by spelling our Livejournal usernames in cylindrical pixels which were half black and white. Only five cylinders high and fifteen across initially it seemed a challenge to write out names in pixels. However the round nature of the cylinders of course allows for half-pixel effects. Much like Microsoft's Cleartype technology.

However my font is far superior to Comic Sans.
