Relaxing programming

In order to de-stress from the day I reprogrammed the epoetry engine for the site. Now each of the sentences in the poem link directly back to the original journals they came from. I think this make sit more useful. I also made some adjustments that should speed stuff up a bunch, even though we are not on the fastest server.

Josephine Triangle Reductions

I spent the remaining part of the day working on Josephine's triangle reductions for her show. I got the models to be very low polygon. I hate 3D. Well, I enjoy doing it and I am pretty damn good at using the tools, the problem is I feel like such an empty loser, everytime I am done. It just has no relevance to anything. It is like entertainment pure.

Nonna Throughout Time

I just can't believe she is dying right now. It seems so crazy, like I knew it would happen sometime. It just kills me that the last semester I didn't spend more time with her and that the last conversation I got to have with her was about me not getting the job. I thought school was so important last semester that I pretty much turned everything else off. What a stupid idiot I was, especially seeing as nothing paid off and now I don't get another chance at seeing my nonna.

In our last phonecall, last week all we talked about was Canisius and how she was so sad for me. I said I would see her when I got back from vacation but by the time I had the internet again she was gone.

Here she is as a baby

An era change is approaching

I think I just started to realize today that everything is going to change right now. When Nonna dies I will no longer be little Paolo and it's time to get serious about my future. Like when do I start making the virtual Paul database so trhat I can preserve myself in digital format. I want to be able to exist in an iPod and to be shared on the internet.

Waiting While Nonna is dying

I am sitting here. She keeps holding on but she doesn't move anymore.

It looks like I might the landlord of a house in Buffalo from Nonna. It will be interesting to be a landlord. Maybe I will enjoy it and buy a hundred houses as part of my consume Buffalo before it consumes me plan.

My mother just said that she wants me to be her health care proxy because my brother would keep her hooked to a machine in closet for eternity.

To pass the time I was reading about housing costs to pass the time and San Francisco doesn't have the largest rate of housing cost growth but it does have the highest housing costs in the entire county. There is no city even close.

The only city even remotely close was honalulu

2004q1 2005q1 (thousands)
Honalulu $420.0 $529.1 + 26.0%
Phoenix $155.8 $193.8 +24.4%
San francisco $600.5 $689.2 +14.8%
Buffalo $86.2 $93.9 +8.9%

Everything is Crazy Right Now

I got an emergency message to get home ASAP. T-mobiles internet has been down so it was really hard for me to get messages. Turns out Nonna [search]nonna[/search] is in the hospital and is very at the end. I hope they can ease the suffering at this point. She is supposed to get a morphine drip for the pain she is having breating.

She had a massive stroke and is pretty much not there. She moves one arm every once in a while, but only to reach up to nothing in front of her. Sometimes she tries to pull the tubes out.

I hope I never get to that point in life. I want to die of a sudden heart attack. I feel bad for (e:mike) He was going to pick her up for his graduation dinner and she was passed out on her kitchen chair, writing his graduation card. I guess they have been at the hospital ever since. I will update my vacation info later.
