Am I really this boring?

Monday, April 25th, 2005

My life as Art… This is a pretty cool site I ran across the other day. This site has some questions you can fill out to determine what you might look like as a painting. As you can see, mine’s pretty boring, but maybe yours will be more interesting. Let me know what they look [...]
