Hiding Out

Here I am hiding out by myself trying to stay from the computer., although I have allowed the sidekick in the room with me. Some people would say that's cheating but I'm not ready for cold turkey. I wonder when (e:twisted) is coming back.

I decided to eat and dance even though my legs barely move. My veins tingle and kind of hurt from sitting so long. I think that's what the whole low blood pressure thing is. I sat there for like 50 hours and I can still feel it calling me.

There really just needs to be a better way to approach the machine, other than sitting. I even tries standing for like 10 hours, which sounds crazy but at least it was a new position. I was thinking that maybe it could work to have the laptop fascined to the ceiling and just lie down interface with the computer, but honestly, I think my arms would just fall off within in ten minutes.

So this all makes me think about the fact that it's about time to be able to get the chip implanted. If I could even just have one simple communication protocol installed, I would go for it. Even if the interface was slower than dialup. Anyone want to bet when that will first happen. I think 2027. I want to be the first one to download my memory onto a storage device.

I want a SUN connection

I was just downloading the SUN java SDK

and it took 3.2 minutes to download 115MB. That is the kind of server I need. Imagine what kind of stuff you could make with a connection like that. I can't even explain how much cool stuff I have to leave off all the time because we don't have a fast connection.

Wish List

The two things I want more than anything right now are a good job with health benefits

(so I can finally afford to go to the doctor's for a physical and checkup, get my teeth cleaned,etc.) and (e:twisted) to come home. Next in line is to finish my thesis, have the site written about in artvoice, finish (e:matthew) 's photography site, get a faster server, finish GF!

and relax.

Wow, this is my 1500th journal entry! I have now written 222729 words, uploaded 1613 images, 48 sounds, and 11 swfs.

The new system, google, and jason

The new system of identifying journals is landing more individual entries of google. Today I was looking through the server logs and I found that someone had gotten to the site by typing tried to ask her out rejected into google. I wondering what it linked to so I tested it out

The number one result is (e:jason) 's journal [inlink]jason,145[/inlink] That is insane. Poor (e:jason) - by the way you can type a username,id into the jump.. box and go to a specific entry. For example type jason,145 into the jump... box.

Family Events - At the racetracks

Last night was (e:matthew)'s mother's 50th birthday party extravaganza at their cabin. There were tons of people, food, and beer. Unfortunately, I was the designated driver. He took lots of pictures and I'm sure he'll post them when he'll get back from today.

Today, we are at the Fort Erie Race Track with my dad. He loved horse racing. (e:terry) almost won on race two, his horse was in the lead till the last second. He bet on it because it was the only horse not on drugs.

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::

Someone annoying bitch sat next to me and kept flipping her purse onto the seats from our family when they got up. At one point she tried putting her purse on my seat while I was adjusting position. There was a seat in between us that was empty. I don't feel like a purse is a legitimate enough extension of her body, at least not enough to take up two chairs. I hate people like that. I wanted to grab her stupid purse just smack her upside the head upside the head with it. She eventually got up and moved behind us. You can prob see her in the pic of me.

(E:matthew) took lots of pictures [inlink]matthew,572[/inlink].

Don't gamble. I never liked gambling but now I really hate it. I lost my entire $20 gamble in about 6 minutes on the slot machines. It was the only time I never won even one play. Blah. Now it's time for people and horse watching - at least it's free. (e:matthew) left the casino because they wouldn't let him take pictures. I recorded lots of sounds as part of my new digitizing the world campaign.

(e:mike) and (e:terry) decided on fries - if you ever go to the tracks at Fort Erie make sure to bring your own food. First of all because their food is disgusting, second of all because it is disgusting, and most importantly because the lines are like an hour long. What kind of backwards capitalists live in Canada that they can't figure out that hour long lines equals reduced profits!!

Thesis Reading Gift

(e:hodown) bought me this amazing book called "Voyeur Nation" by Clay Calvert for my thesis. At the time she bought it, we didn't know that I would be using it for that. About a year ago, I got to pick a parting gift for a attending a clothing shopping run at Factory Outlet Mall and chose the book and about 5 pieces of bubble gum. I bet it's on my journal.

Fatefully, we had just found it on sale for $5.00 and I thought it would make an interesting read. Little did I know, it is probably the most useful books I would find. Thanks (e:hodown) I owe you.

Eating with lilho

After a busy day of production while avoiding reading, (e:lilho) took me out to a calamri dinner. It was delicious. I hope someday, I can also have enough money to buy my own calamari dinner.

I was a little conflicted about the whole thing as (e:terry) had cooked a very nice spegehtti sauce dinner with some canned tomatos from the thousand jars at nonna's house. There are litterally so many that we are still eating the ones from 2002. I wonder if the aged ones are worth more like wine.

Afterward, we stopped at (e:jason) 's. It was nice to meet him and his friend. This is a pic from his proch across from spot, the future home of the banner. He said he is coming to (e:ajay) 's shindig. I hope everyone else is too.

Germany's Calling

I received a phone message from Yvonne at like 5 in the morning her time last night. I wonder what is going on with her. Unfortunately, like everyone else, she had no idea that my voice mail does not play out loud. People try so hard to get me to pick up the phone, but I can't hear them on voicemail, until after they have finsihed saving the message.

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::

I will call her tonight, I miss speaking German so much. It is weird that she spoke English on the voice mail because I think I have only heard her speak English two or three times in all the years we knew each other. With Vonage, calling Germany is only 3 cents per minute. It's even cheaper than calling my mom in Kenmore on my cell phone.
