True :) I think the good ones have a little bit (or more) of that in them.

“I like shooting products because they don’t talk,” was his answer. “They’re just there.”

I thought I knew who you were referring too, until you mentioned the initials "D.A." in your comment. I think I remember someone else who said this. Or maybe they all think alike! :P

True. And ever since I started wearing gloves (just the regular ones, not those pictured—although I would love to have those, too) while washing dishes, I find myself lingering longer by the sink.

I so agree ... when doing chores ... I somehow figure out the solution to certain problems. I've solved many of life's puzzles while ironing and washing dishes.

Hi, Chinachix! Thanks for the Gladwell reco, I'll check out Tipping Point. Ya, I really like how Cathie wrote the book, the overall tone and approach.

And I agree with what you said, chores can be therapeutic, as long as they don't pile up :)

Neighbor, I all of a sudden remembered a story you shared before from when you were little. I can imagine a chirpy you peering through houses :)

I thought it was D.A., too =) Saw him kanina, said hi. He responded, "Hi!" mga 2 seconds later pa hahaha

Me, I used to want to be a mailman. It allows me to meet people very briefly or at least take a peek into their lives, without really having to be friends. But because of the internet, mailmen are a dying breed.

It's a good thing then--all that sun exposure is horrible!

not sure about dishwashing professionally, but i do find doing chores therapeutic and helps clear the mind for creative stuff...

btw, i checked out cathie black's book as per your recommendation, and im liking what im reading so far. not having the summit-hearst connection, i didn't even know she had a written a book :).

as for gladwell's books, i think "the tipping point" was what got me hooked on his books and what i'd recommend to you. i just found out he just published a book of essays, "what the dog saw"...

Stylekit, was it D.A.?:) Hehe! He's super chill that way.

I think I know the photographer. I asked the same question, and got the same answer hehe :) Or they just think alike :D

Funny you wrote this. When working at a fast food joint during college, I'd rather work at the back either prepping burgers or dishwashing of which most of my esteemed colleagues abhor. :)
