Your work helps to find anything positive in a frightening, horrible experience. I have seen all sizes and shapes of breasts which in the end are "just tissue" when it comes to saving a womans life.

Going more 3D was brilliant! <br /><br />I imagine that everytime you look at it you tell yourself that you're a fucking rockstar/genius. Which, as we all know, is 7 levels more impressive then a regular rockstar/genius. :-)<br /><br />Second, its pretty funny, I've been following your blog for awhile now and never noticed the capitalization.

I know you can find your shift key, 'cause you typed "WAY" in all caps and used a :D smiley, so WTF? Are you just too cool to use proper capitalization or something? Seriously, it's incredibly irritating. The word "I" in lowercase is the worst, I think. In my head it sounds like a short i sound (as in the word "sit").Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313982971250242728.post-80431946456261817122009-10-19T11:13:11.895-07:002009-10-19T11:13:11.895-07:00Very fine work.
