We went over to one of Linda’s friends place the other night for dinner. We had an awesome time hanging out in their loft in the village - heated stone floors and a 12 foot long “picnic-table styled” dinner table really appeal to me.

Fecalface.com has a recent interview with Jason Lee along with some of his photographs.

As for pluggins, I’m running Akismet, Bad Behavior, Brian’s [...]
