The army

Driving home down main street today I saw this sign for the marines or the army. I had to get out and take a picture because I thought it was so totally stupid. I can't believe this is their slogan. I also can't believe that the poor people in the black neighborhood where it is located could fall for this ad. It says, "Pain is weakness leaving the body." I thinks its really ridiculous to have an ad like that. That statment is obviously not true. Especially in the context of the neighborhood, and the two hospitals, one being roswell park, that are only 5 minutes away.

Underneieth the sign was all this trash. I wonder why the army doesn't clean it up because it makes the ad look even more trashy.

While on Main Street I thought about how moving to Linwood changed my life so much. I might as well have moved out to the country as I never go to elmwood anymore and have no idea what is happening 2 blocks down. Is the coop built yet?

Art, Links, and poetry

I was searching through the links to the site again and I found one from ice9 poetry

The

is in the link section. Seems like maybe it's someone from the site or someone I know but I can't place it. Then I was looking at their open mic night which is at Arte Brutale on Main St and I also haven't heard of that. So I searched it on google and came up with this person and her music

which is quite good.

Does anyone know more info about this space or these people?

Radio Shack

This is what $38.00 looks like when you convert it into resistors, capacitors, phototransisters, LEDs, speakers, wire, and perfboard.

My new shoes

I decided it was necessary to leave class early as I am so sick. I am going to stop at radioshack to buy my potentiometer and a capacitor.

I overheard people in class talking about this supercool guy, turns out it was jesse. They were amazed at how he etched his web address on his circuit board. The whole circuit thing is crazy, sems like a lot of toxic waste. Today the teacher said not to inhale the puffs of lead smoke coming out of our work, but we wern't really taking any safety precautions.

Having a cold

I am so sick but I have to go to school today which sucks even more. Everyone around me is bound to get sick but I really can't miss class as we have a test on thursday. Ironically, my first quiz in grad school after 3 years.

Then tonight I have to go teach at 6. 3 hours of talking with a sore throat seems like a bad idea.

New addition

I was working on today's new addition to the site, which I will be realeasing shortly when I got this error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM

I have a feeling that the error was not intended for an english speaker. after looking it up on google with the word hebrew (GOOGLE - T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM hebrew) I found the answer.

Sickness

I am sick. I have a sore throat. It is what I get for being one of those stupid people that pretend that 40 degrees in Buffalo means it is warm out. I went out with (e:lilho) and decided to eat a banana split in the park with no jacket on.

Luckily, she came by this morning and made breakfast. Nick you are very lucky.

I found the sidekick

Wow Maya 6.5 is way faster than Maya 6. I can't wait to get my copy this coming week. Without my kick I feel like I missed out on so much today. I went to say goodbye to (e:southernyankee) and then went shoe shopping for about an hour with (e:lilho) in celebration of tax free clothing week. It was exciting to get a nice pair of shoes for about $40.00. I still can't find a pair of sneakers I like. This problem is going on 4 years. I used to really love my sneakers. (e:lilho) got to eat her first banana split at Condrell's in Kenmore. We decided to eat it outside which turned out to be really cold and messy.

What is up with shoe sizes. Does anyone else understand what they really mean. Today I foudn that in Born brans I take an 11 1/2 while in New Balance I take a 12 and in Adidas I take a 13. Why can't shoe sizes be standardized like everything else. I jut don't get it.
