Took a break

I headed over to the pet store with (e:matthew) and (e:terry) .It seems so unnatural to have so many of the same thing in bunches. I guess that is just the way that stores operate.

There was a pretty fish but it needed a bigger tank than we have.

Sorry (e:lilho) , he always seemed gay to me anyways

Our Horrible Apartment

But Most of all I hate the monkeys that are doing construction on my house.

So after alerting Jim numerous times that no one is allowed in our apartment without us, and that we often have no water or electricity for hours, we had the most ridiculous experience this morning. Not to mention we pay $800 plus a month to live here.

This morning I woke up to a part of our ceiling coming down on my $800 digital camera. One foot away from the oh so carefully balanced saltwater fishtank ecosystem the would have been lovely.

Then once agai,n with no notice they started to come into the apartment. I have specifically told Jim Leong, my landlord, that this is unacceptible and that I don't want workers in my house without me there. I actually locked the door and the work man came in. Why does he ever have a key, if he is not supposed to be here without me!! Then he tried to use this note from over a week ago as though it was notice enough. [inlink]paul,2430[/inlink]

Then after going to find them to tell them I walk back into my apartment and while standing at th e kitchen door more debris hits me as they installed a seocnd wire. Why don't they yell lookout below or something.

The monkat is done!

I am finally done with redoing the UV map for the monkat head. This makes it easily skinable. Now I can move onto finishing up the secondlife project and I will be done with school.

Bass Pro

This is fucking insane. Harsh words but our libraries are closing and 66 million tax dollars are being given to Bass Pro to open downtown.

Believe it or not, 14 million is miraculously coming from the city and county funds, I thought we were bankrupt. They say 400 jobs will be created but according to news channel 2 , it will amount to $165,000 of county and city tax dollars per job. The workers can't possibly make so much.

Now I have to ask myself where the fuck the money is coming from if we can't afford the library. I wish they would just haul the books out onto elmwood and burn them so we could at least see this huge symbol of end of our society in a most visually dramatic way. One time when wondering through Weimar I wondered what it felt like when people realized the Weimar Republic was ending.

I can't wait till Bass Pro trickles down onto my economy.

The Buffalo Monopoly Game

What kind of crap is this. I wonder if the people that made it even live in Buffalo. It is so commercial and the worst part is that Boardwalk is Niagara Square. Park Avenue is Niagara Falls. That isn't even in Buffalo. No elmwood, no deleware, no chippewa.

Thanksgiving

I will have to comment on some of these pictures later. The best one is the picture of (e:mike) with candy from the early 90s that he bought when ekhert was still fays. This is the last package I haven't destroyed. He is really thinking about saftey deposit boxing it.

image

You can see the fays sticker but he still won't eat them. It is part of his collectable candy collection.

It accents his cashregister collection and my mother's kitchen plastic wrap collection.

image

The street is the north side of elmwood.

The bowl of rice is our italian contribution the thanksgiving.

and the mint green house is where I grew up.

Thanksgiving Day Snow

First of all, yesterday was the busiest day in a week but it started out with a nice surprise. I went to work and nobody was there. I had the day off and didn't realize it. It gave me time to catch up on work from 1PM to 6am. By 6am I was so sick of 3d but the badguy and monkat are 99% finished and skinable. Thanks god, I will post some render when I get a chance.

On another note it snowed today and as I had programmed it, the site snowed as soon as the Nation Weater Organisation reported it. I love stuff that works, especially when you forget about it and then it works two weeks later.

Well I am on the swimming upstream, back to the North side of elmwood where I was spawned. There is a big thanksgiving celebration waiting. Yum!

Thank you for writing this

You do know you've already coded this site beyound human comprehension, right? You seem to think if you added some more features, people would come. That is not the problem. You've done your part. Go ahead and code your heart out, but don't think for one minute that's what is standing between estrip and total world domination.



So what is separating it from greater usage in the buffalo area. Is it really just lack of advertisement or lack of interest. I want to know so bad if it is worth advertising more, as it generally cost money. Even the flyers cost about $80.

When their are more people their is inevitably more to talk and read about. I would like people to be more interested intheir community members dramatic lives and their own lives, than of the lives of those portrayed on television. We have the perfect opportunity here to entertain and infrom ourself thus constructing our own entertainment reality instead of having it delivered to us with commercials.

Think about it like textual pirate radio right. It's like everyone has their own station and what is different than most places is that you have a guaranteed build in audience.

Maybe we just need sex, surgery, and death defying stunts to keep people intrigued now-a-days but I really believe that the reality of personal drama is the most seductive of all. I mean that it what gossip is based on.

I think (e:twisted) that you are right about collaborative journals but I question why more people just don't start them up without me having to choose topics. Look at (e:northparkproje)ct . They collaboated on their own initiative, I question why other people haven't collaborated for special topic journals although I wonder what that would do for the individualist nature of the journal format.

I know what would really work and bring a bizillion new readers is something scandalous like a sex journal where people confess true sex stories. How about the first one be something tamer like fiction/story writing one about a fictional elmwood strip seeing as gardening is long gone in our soon to be frozen tundra?

I would like to see 50 new people begin writing, not necessarily signup seeing as we have 116 with words, 172 signed up, and only about 60 that update regularly. So really some of the 50 have signed up, something is just stopping them from writing. I would really like to know what happend to them.

This is so hardcore America

This is the most ridiculous hardcore song about America. I am thinking about collecting as many ridiculous songs about america from all different genres and having a elmwood radio tribute to America, haha.
