The Dead Tree Meme

Okay, so like this is my first meme, so be gentle with me.

Internet monkey lover Whit tagged me with the magazine meme that's so popular with the kids these days. This is great; it's a post handed to me on a platter, with a deadline (so it'll actually get written and not die a slow, unrealized death.) But I've fooled you all, because I don't currently have any subscriptions-haha!

Regardless, I'm not going to let that stop me, so here goes.

Fine Homebuilding. Kind of an odd thing to subscribe to I don't build homes, fine or otherwise. I was going to say I got it for the articles, but thats a lie. Don't buy it unless you're living in your dream home right now, cause the houses they profile will make yours look like a dump.

Woodcraft Magazine Long, long ago in a galaxy far away, i.e., when I was single, I used to enjoy building stuff. Over to the left there, is a crib I built out of cherry when my first nephew was born. Woodworking is fun, but it's one of those hobbies that sucks up your time, money and garage space like John Frusciante consumes heroin. I stopped getting that magazine a long time ago.

Signcraft magazine At work, I'm a sign designer and need inspiration to keep from making just another crap sign (although sometimes the customer wants a bad sign.) This one I do subscribe to currently, but work pays for it, so half-credit.

Hot Rod, Motor Trend, Car and Driver My Dad actually subscribes to these, so they're all hand-me-down subscriptions, really. He won't give up the Street Rodder issues, though. I'm a closet car guy, but, same as for woodworking, not a lot of resources to devote to building a hot rod, and can't afford that new car either.

That's it, as is custom, I'm tagging Todd, if he can stop writing those fictitious obituaries and harrasing cemetary statuary for a while.
