At her request, I am cutting out a lengthy introduction. I think most of you know her. She's my laaaa-dy, and she has a wonderful list to share with you all. Instead of a lengthy introduction, explaining all about her, and how she is about to jump into the freezing ocean for charity, and I am about to stand on the shore watching, I will just give her a plug. A full explanation is at the blog, but Heather just started a telephone pictionary blog, with some of her favorites from our recently played games. It is pretty great. The link is telephonepictionary.wordpress.com. Enjoy! And here she goes (all the commentary is her own):

Adam was listening to Peng! by Stereolab at the time of this post, and is still not blown away like he has been told he would be, but it might be growing on him.

okay i guess my list was long!
and man, i don't even get my own picture?! rip off. to make up for it you should plug the plunge and the link to donate. :)
hope nyc is fun.
did adam use the phrase "plug her"?... dude thats gross... this blog is for public use....
i like to comment so i will:
it was nice to see The Stone Roses make it to a list... unexpected and nice.
Annie Leibovitz-(she's mean to me)
David LaChappelle-(he's nice to fiamma)
Ralph E. Meatyard-i really like people who give themselves their own last name. but on the art front, how come all photographers? youre really offending brother eric's painting sensibilities.
Persepolis = is this because the girl kind of looks like you?
i too like to comment, so... i think all photographers because i see a lot of their work at once, but artists i tend to only see a piece or there that i like, rarely a full collection. it's neat that you and fiamma have met them. and i dont think persepolis looks like me, but thanks. maybe it's the big nose in this picture adam decided to use that makes you think so.
