When you're a busy mom like this pretty lady there isn't time to get a professional pedicure. You take things into your own hands......or mouth and hands.

Yet another sad story of broken dreams and failure along the Mother Road...

Cargill (worth 75+ billion) seems to have cut back on the PR budget

This photo is of the Oculus transit hub in New York City. The facility cost more than $4 billion to construct, and had a budget overrun of more than $2 billion! Talk about not quite getting the cost estimates right!

Urban Fragments

I remember when our conferences were held in large hotels and delicious lunches were served.

Now we get shoved into small conference rooms and have to bring our own lunch. At least we got to admire this mural painting showing the most eminent figures in the history of Neurology..

10/31/2006 update: Tutorial is here.

I went wayyyy over budget this week, but considering that a huge chunk of it was spent on buying the new Catwa Bento head, "Kimberly", I can forgive myself. I had planned on waiting to purchase a Bento head until more brands had a chance to fiddle witht he Bento bones and perfect them - but I fell in love when I demo-ed it! I guess I'll have to try and be better about impulse shopping next week (not :P). The head is 5,000L, but being able to have a face that reacts to the vast majority of the shape sliders is invaluable.

My other new acquisition is this gorgeous fantasy top by [Aleutia]. It has a *huge* HUD for customisation and fits my Maitreya body like a dream. This is only the second fantasy item I've seen by [Aleutia] but I really hope it won't be their last! I love it! You can find the top at this round of The Secret Affair, but it ends fairly soon so make sure you don't put off going!
