The problem is that when you are more amply endowed strapless bras don't really work....at least the ones that are remotely comfortable. So while I may be willing to wear one of the industrial ones for a special ... http://lorenextreme.com/2010/07/re-strapping-dresses/ When I worked at 315 Park Avenue South, they used to paint ads on the side of our building. It was amazing to see how quickly these came together - as I watched briefly as I came into work, got lunch, and went home. It was no small canvas either.  ... http://lorenextreme.com/2010/05/art-at-big-heights/ My 64 gb iPad was delivered around 1pm last Saturday.  So I've had about 4 1/2 days to play with it. Certainly enough to have some thoughts on my new toy. THE GOOD STUFF:  Apple did a great job with their built in apps. They all work great on the iPad ... http://lorenextreme.com/2010/04/ipad-first-impressions/ I went to Southeast Asia last August, and I just realized I never posted about it. Oops!

I really don't want the typical strappy sandals you usually see. I also don't want 4" heels. I can walk in them but they aren't something I want to wear for 8hrs. I'd really like ... http://lorenextreme.com/2009/10/the-perils-of-online-shoe-shopping/ This was written the evening of September 11, 2001. Reading it today still makes me cry. I can remember thinking about my day ahead as I walked down 23rd street this morning. I'd go the gym, and then get home in time for open mic night at Ristra. I walked into ... http://lorenextreme.com/2009/09/8-years-ago/ I am back at work after 2 weeks off.  Some observations from my commute this morning. First off on the entrance ramp from 80E to 287s there is a big pothole. I hit it it. A car in front of me hit it too and people dodged their hubcap. Nice ... http://lorenextreme.com/2009/08/observations-on-my-way-to-work/ I am heading off to South East Asia on Friday afternoon. I get there late Saturday night. In the meantime I've been moderately successful in checking things off my list. One of my big tasks was assembling my first aid kit.
