lockmat Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Good point. They're first project is a residential one, I'm just not sure if it's a midrise or just 4story or something. I think we'll know soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could make for some interesting decorating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo58 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 This would vary from person to person but, Did you ever think of having someone interview you? I don't mean like for a job but like when Diane Sawyer or a talk show host sits down the guest and gets interviewed. Let say you may have written a book or made a film or had a life long career on stage. There is a magazine called San Jose (the city) and every month they interviewa local politician or news anchor for instance. These are intelligent and sensible questions mind you. I think it wouldbe a real fresh of air for hundreds of people. Picture yourself in a studio with overhead boom and cameras in 3 angles. The interviewer with a microphone leaning at you and taking notes on a pad. Could you handle that? Sure you could! I personally most people would but are just too bashful about admitting it. I would love to be the one conducting the interview or vice-versa. Whos 1st?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertigo58 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I could. I think it'd be fun. Yes it would be. I used to interview candidates all the time when I was in HR so I guess it became very easy being on the other side of the desk. I really think these go off well when you have the right person conducting. The point is to make the person feel completely comfortable and make them ask YOU questions back! I personally would love to interview the most obnoxious and arrogant one around. These turn out the best. In fact having someone storm off the set woud be even more delightful! I believe that less produces more. I would pause and leave dead air and maybe the person would divulge more or have that "Is that all your going to ask me" kind of mindset. I like when they start throwing things! Get it all on film. I say approx 30 minutes is reasonable for an interview , to the other person it could seem like an eternity. Its interesting to see how far someone will go. I love improvisation or rather see how a person can rise to the ocassion of a terrible question, when props malfunction or the person is visibly angry. Of course I woudl never purposley do this to anyone unless instructed to I guess. Sometimes the pets are easier to interview! Ja ja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 'spensive, though.that's one of the places i was looking online last night. a designer friend said she would let me use her tax number if need be. i didn't want to spend much more than $50 each. if i can't find anything i like she said she would take em off my hands for a profit and resale to one of her customers so i can't complain.

ricco67 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I like a traditional mexican breakfast: Eggs over easy, with thick strips of bacon and flour tortillas. Yum. In a pinch Breakfast tacos or a McGriddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I'm an All American breakfast kind of guy. Eggs eggs eggs, bacon, toast, biscuit, gravy, pancakes. Not all necessarily at the same time. I cook breakfast almost every morning. Almost always eggs (3). I'll make a english muffin sandwich w/ ham and cheese and egg. And milk, sometimes juice if we have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
