Unbelievable stuff, it's all on completely flat sidewalks.

It's amazing, in real life, they're even more real-looking. You can actually feel like you're going to fall in. If he ever did a painting that looked like you were looking down from a skyscraper, I can guarantee more than one person would get a mean case of vertigo. Here's the link to the street-painting portion of his site. There are seven pages of work on there, it's not just that one first page. Check it out!!

That is absolutely amazing. I can imagine trying to keep my balance on one of those rocks incase I fell. Kurt Wenner has a new fan.
So die all who betray Giuliano

But come bed time, I got an absolutely horrible pain in my stomach. It was so bad in fact that I ended up going to bed around 830 last night. I woke up around 1, ran to the bathroom, and puked my damn guts up! Ok, I've been sick the past week or so, but no flu-like symptoms whatsoever. Now all of a sudden, after I assume that I'm all better, I start throwing up! I've vomited 6 times since then, and was unable to actually fall back to sleep til about 730 this morning. I woke up around 9, called into work, and have pretty much just slept the rest of today. Good thing is I'm off work tomorrow too, so I've had a three day weekend...at the expense of my health though.

Yes, I'm glad it's Friday. Only I've been on vacation and for me it's another day closer to going back to work.  I could get use to this vacation business very easily.  Everyone have a wonderful weekend and a great Easter. TIS

[/b]Hope you feel better man. It sucks because I've been offline the past 2 days, plus I've been studying for these 2 tests on Monday and Tuesday. But I am happy that I finished reading The Return of the King. I really did enjoy it and Tuesday after the test, I'm going to start reading The Hobbit! I'm so excited about that because I really don't know what the story is about and I'm just really looking forward to reading it!
