Rachelle,
I was looking at your website today, as I often do, and I have to say..you take the best pictures-so vivid and descriptive. Perhaps a future career for you!
tien - keep that wallpaper up til opening day. it will make any grey day liket this one that much brighter.
rachelle - i’m not tech sound enough to send you a screenshot (i’m a pc user, yes i know, so it’s something like ctrl printscreen and then paste it into word or something) ps. i love ben kweller’s ‘wasted and ready’
yes, down with evil empire. they won’t win next year either, no matter how much money they spend - short of getting a-rod, sheff, vlad, shilling, re-signing pettitte, and the other matsui. yes, i am aware they would have a shortage of positions for players. but you figure at $250 MM a year, they’ll be able to win, no?
wait, you want to see the desktop of my computer or my actual computer (seen here)?
i haven’t been using the rachelleb.com desktops. i need to see my icons a little more clearly (this should be a non-issue since i have like 3 icons, but still).
jess: perhaps…
like my real-life spaces, my computer desktops are a disaster to other people, but i can find what i’m looking for quickly (i’ve memorized the locations of folders i access frequently–just like the piles of paper i have lying around are actually in some order).
similarly, like my real-life spaces, if i try to clean up my computer desktop, i can’t find anything afterwards.
though in real-life spaces you can’t do a “search the site”, or for that matter, a “command-z”…
Hello. I was wondering if you have a HIGH REZ file of your ‘rusted metal’ image above. I think it’s beautiful and would love to use it in a film poster (independent). Please let me know…
We don’t have a budget for the rights, but would credit your photography for the one sheet.

PPS. The rust/yellowpaint pic especially. I’d love to have that as my wallpaper.

19 Jessica // Nov 20, 2003 at 1:52 pm

20 rachelle // Nov 20, 2003 at 1:57 pm

21 tien // Nov 20, 2003 at 1:57 pm

scott’s desktop
23 joe // Nov 20, 2003 at 11:14 pm
joe’s desktop. yes, somebody had to make the lame joke. yes, it really is that cluttered.
24 Jessica // Nov 21, 2003 at 12:32 am
ummm… did someone say something?
Where is your desktop Tien? Show us your cinema screen … I know Rachelle has been waiting to see it.
25 tien // Nov 21, 2003 at 9:19 am
wait, you want to see the desktop of my computer or my actual computer (seen here)?

26 e // Nov 21, 2003 at 10:23 am
here’s my desktop
btw, i love the razor wire photo. if i had that on my work desktop maybe no one wold bother me. KEEP OUT!
27 Jessica // Nov 21, 2003 at 11:16 am
E - you bring up a very interesting question..
Can you tell what a person’s apt/bedroom looks like from their destop?
mine definately does… looks neat and organized at first glance but if you look closer there are some random stuff laying around.
28 scott // Nov 21, 2003 at 11:53 am
i guess mine suggests that although i’m relatively organized…i’m willing to write on the walls. damn walking contradiction.
