Changing faces of estrip

I remember back in the day when estrip was mainly populated by people I knew outside of the estrip online world, some I met through the site, others I had known for long time. These were the days when the most posted were Keith, Robin, Jill, DrChlorine and Rachel among others. Now it is a estrip world more often populated with Springfaeries (who I now know), Maidencateyes, Metalpeter, Jason and others I don't really know. It makes it a very different thing. Not in a good or bad way just different. WIthout knowing the people, it is sometimes more fun to picutre what they are like but at the same time I don't necessarily feel the connection to what they write becuase I can not relate it to a person.

On another note, I would love to be on the Real World in Buffalo, or anywhere really for that matter!!!

Real World Marathons

Phew, me, Jill, Stephanie and Justin got 12 years worth of pentup Real World chatter done today at Spot. We seriously talked Real World with some Road Rules and Challenges thrown in for like an hour. It was mucho fun. Does anyone else find they have to watch a Real World marathon if it is on, even if you have already seen all the episodes, even if it means not leaving the couch for 15 hours straight, even if it means not driving your wife who is in labor the hospital, cuz I know I do love it that much. Seriously if I even sort of catch a glance of one episdoe I am drawn in for the entire day of the marathon. They continue the episodes so seamlessly without the credits that their is no time to get up or change the channel. Oh I love them so! I'm glad there are at least 3 other people who feel the same way. I can't wait for the next marathon, marathon party anyone?

Record Theatre

How much do I love that Record Theater is now open right next to Canisius. I had a break today while we were waiting for Katrina to get out of class and so me and Amanda walked over there and I was able to buy the Wicker Park soundtrack I've been wanting so bad. It was so nice not to have to drive far away and just be able to get it right there while I had time. We then took a walk through Forest Lawn which is pretty, but Amanda is terrified of cemetaries but I was able to convince her to go in by promising we'd see ducks. We didn't end up seeing any ducks but we did go up to a personal mausoleum and look in. I went up and looked in first and when Amanda finally got enough courage to come look at it, some leaf or something fell and hit me in the face and I screamed and it freaked her out and she almost died b/c she thought the bodies had come back to life or something. Needless to say I don't think we will be visiting a cemetary together again anytime soon.

The Wicker Park soundtrack is soo good and I cannot stop listening to it. It has great songs by Postal Service, Mates of State, Death Cab for Cutie, STereophonics, Mazzy Star, a cover of The Scientist and so much more!!!! It is so good for the I"m in a funk kinda mood when you just want to sit and listen to your moody music. My favorite song by far is Strange and Beautiful by Aqualung,so my life sometimes, here's an excerpt....

I've been watching your world from afar,
I've been trying to be where you are,
And I've been secretly falling apart,
I'll see.
To me, you're strange and you're beautiful,
You'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see,
You turn every head but you don't see me.

Wicker Park

Saw the movie Wicker Park at the cheap show last night and it was actually much better than I expected. Like there were parts during the movie when you're just liek that's dumb but as a whole it was really quite good. The soundtrack was really good and I think I might go get it today except I am poor but I won $15 dollars on a lottery ticket so that would pay for it but we'll see. THe only thing about the movie was that it made me and Jill want to go out and stalk someone or not necessarily but do something devious or deceiving. I don't know if that was a good lesson to take away from the movie but I still recommend it....

My Walking Shoes are Killing Me

So yesterday while waiting for (e:beast) to call about meeting out for coffee, I decided to take a walk around elmwood, I went from Bidwell to Allen and then down Allen to like Virginia and then back. Well when I got to around Allen the back of my foot really started to hurt but at this point I still had to get all the way back to Bidwell where my car was and couldn't really just stop. By the time I got back to Bidwell, I was limping trying to prevent the back of my foot from rubbing agains the shoe and the entire back of my foot was all torn up and bloody. Not a great introduction to my new shoes and now my foot hurts in any shoes. Then (e:beast) called and decided she didn't want to go out. So all in all a letdown useless night...

Ok so I was wrong

Ok i was partially wrong. After talking to Terry I realized I was only kinda right. Well 80 degrees is not twice as hot as 40 degrees but not because of the reason I said. I coudln't really remember the reason or Dr. Wigley didn't really explain it well but either way the fact is right the reasoning is not. Look at the obviously smarters Terry's journal to see why...[inlink]terry,323[/inlink]

This fact rocked my world

In my research methods class today which usually lacks in enlightening or entertaining me a fact totally rocked my world. Do you realize 80 degrees is not twice as hot as 40 degrees. Now maybe you all already knew this and maybe in some way I did too but I had never realized. I am sure I have said it before. And if you don't believe think about it this way. 80 degrees and 40 degrees are the same degree distance apart as 40 degrees and 0 degree yet you wouldn't say 40 degrees is twice as hot as 0 degrees. I don't know, this is rocking my entire day....

My Dependence on my Car

So I like to drive everywhere and so whenever me and my friends go out I almost always drive, unless I am planning on a night of drunken debauchery. I really like to be in control of the situation knowing that I can leave at any time but also I get car/motion sickness a lot but not really if I am driving so I like to be in control of that. But alas, my headlight was out htis week and so at night for the last week I let other people drive (thanks Jiill) and then last night my car was at the mechanic and so I needed a ride to the PMTs (thanks Chris) and then my dad to get me to school and Amanda to get me to the mechanic(thanks). All this dependence made me crazy but in all this I guess it was ok, I guess I survived, minus forgetting to pick up pizza and not being able to drive Chamille home (sorry!!!!!) and had no major bouts of motion sickness (is it all in my head?) or need to leave but feeling trapped anywhere. So maybe I am ready to let other people drive again. Or at least that is what I thought until I got my car back today. Alhtough it was only gone for a mere half a day and a few nights, seeing it again made me feel so much more secure. Like there were millions of possibilties and I could do what I want when I want. Maybe i have control issues or dependency issues or maybe I just love my car. I LOVE YA YOU CRAZY DELTA 88 OLDS.

Ghettrification is Almost Complete

So you may have all heard there was a drive-by in Kenmore. Ok, I coiuld take that CVS was replaced by a Dollar General, I could handle the huge influx of tanning salons, I could even deal with the large amount of people wearing wife beaters, I would even have gone so far to let W. Hazeltine and Tremaine be given over to ghetto but now it is offical, Kenmore is becoming the ghetto. There was a drive-by on Victoria I mere four blocks from where I live and about 10 houses from where I work. Insanity. And where were the police? How did they not catch them? They have what ten police cars partoling only one small square mile, they were most likely too busy pulling someone over for going 31 mph or yelling at a group of kids sitting on the lawn outside their own house. I guess those kids in Canada a few years ago were right when we told them we were from Kenmore and they were like "that's liek the ghetto isn't it?". But alas, don't worry, Kenmore has a solution. They have created new designer sidewalks on Delaware Avenue. Now that's the answer we've all been looking for.
