im really liking CS4. CS3 was just far too clunky to run smoothly on windows xp. it seems that cs4 is smoother, and i like the updated interface as well. im also having loads of fun with the pixel bender toolkit, especially the droste effect plugin. very trippy effects from this 3rd party plugin. much love for the new photoshop. also, i am in the middle of a book called The Botany of Desire, by Michael Pollan. the book explains the relationship between humankind and 4 different plants that humans have cultivated through history. exiting read for plant nerds like me :).This book is damn interesting, as well as easy to follow, as it is written

was gone for a while, sorry i could not read everyone's comments or give people thanks for favorites and adds. anyways, heres a poem i stayed up till 5:30 writing We're driving down the interstate, it's 3 a.m. We've go a secret in the trunk, only you can know Said the secret to the driver: "Trade off your friends, buy a new watch, and go to a show" Masters of deception, we're prophets of notorious misdirection We've been here since before Babylon's construction The tires drone on as we near our destination We steal Cadillacs and Preach Sermons with fertilizer tongues, and govern counties with fists full of nails and ball bearings T

Any thoughts/recommendations on any of these authors? Jack Kerouac Allen Ginsberg Charles Bukowski John Cheever Kurt Vonnegut Hunter S. Thompson I've read some of Bukowski's poems, and seen the movie Factotum. I was thinking of reading Ham and Rye after I'm done with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Maybe John Cheever after that. Anyways, any books/stories/poems of theirs' that I should read first?
