So I headed out to UB North Campus today to take care of some business. While we were there, we decided to eat the Korean place at The Commons. Outside of Subway there was a "credit dealer" giving away a free subway sub if you signed up for a credit card.



There was a non-stop flock of students signing up for these cards to get the free sub. While I ate my Kim Bob about 20 students sign up for a crad. Afterwards, I asked the guy what the APR was and he said it was "22% but that there is no annual fee!!!" He said the annual fee part with the biggest smile and acted like it made it such an amazing deal, I wouldn't be able to refuse. I think that is what happend to so many of the young students who didn't know better. They probably just didn't understand the concept of APR and thought not having an annual fee was some amazing perk.

All those poor kids that are getting their first credit card for free stuff at school have no idea how badly they are being ripped off. Maybe campuses should prevent such extortion but in reality I bet they gets plenty of kick backs for letting it happen. 22% is outrageous!

This is the first time I ever saw a hypodermic needle in the streets of Buffalo.

We saw so many people at the festival. I am strung out on ice chai from spot coffee. This is the only time of year that I really miss living right on elmwood. It used to be so nice to watch the main stage from the window. (e:terry) is having a happy birthday.

I captured about 3 hours of sound. Here is a sample from the singers on (e:matthew) journal [inlink]matthew,610[/inlink]

Last week when (e:matthew) and I bought a DVD burner at compusa we found a hundred pack of DVD-R+s for $4.99. Because I had never bought DVDs before I thought maybe that was a normal price. We should have bought 5 packs, like the guy in front of us. Today when I looked on the compusa site , I saw the same DVDs for $69.99. This leads me to believe that the sale price was supposed to be $49.99 not $4.99.

(e:lilho)'s party was nice, we eventually moved most of the party to (e:keith)'s party which was one of the best ever held on elmwood [inlink]keith,42[/inlink]. There were so many skyclad people. They cut down the fence dividing two back yards and made one massive party area complete with a swimming pool. I am guessing there were like 150 people dancing to nice big speakers and a turn table.

I didn't take any picture but (e:tina) did so maybe you will get to see some of it after all.

(e:jesse) built an entire outfit out of porn magazines pics that we cut out at (e:lilho)'s party. There were so many (e:peeps) out for the night. I also got to see lauren from UB which was nice. At some point (e:matthew) had to go home to get something and when he came back we lost track of the keys. Hours went by. Everyone blamed everyone. Did matthew drop them? Did I lose them? Did terry lose them? Did we give them to TK or Lilho or alison? Eventually we decided it had to be (e:lilho) because she was the only one with pockets and/or a purse. We asked (e:lilho) a couple times? Terry even tried to get them out of her purse and she insisted they wern't there. She left in a huff, I think because of some boy drama. At that point it was about 5:30 and the rest of us had no ride home.

Jesse and terry went with lilho because terry forgot street clothes and could not walk home like that. Poor mike was supposed to take our car to work at 8:30. So mike, matthew, and I walked home. Spent an hour looking for spare keys and then sent mike back to the car. Unfortunately, he couldn't find it as matthew was the one who parked it. AT that point it was like 6:30 and (e:matthew) and I had to walk back from Linwood and West Ferry to Elmwood and Bidwell to help (e:mike) find the car and get it started with our ghetto key copy that barely works.

Needless to say we didn't get home until the sun rose, poor mike having to work in like an hour and then stupid fucking bitch (e:lilho) calls us today to say she is sorry she was such a bitch last night and the keys were in fact in her purse. At leats she admits it.

I am so mad at her that if she was here I would punch her in the face if she were here.

I just finished my "firewire" costume for the anything but clothes party. We are off to (e:lilho)'s house warming party first. See you all after midnight.

So the summer ends with two parties in one night. The first party is (e:lilho)'s house warming. It sounds like it will be nice. I still haven't seen her apartment! Then afterwards we are heading over to (e:keith)'s for the anything but clothes party. It should be very entertaining. I am wearing parts from a firewire drive.

The eyetoy is so fun! (e:jill), (e:mike), (e:diana), (e:lilho), (e:terry), (e:shawnr), sarah, (e:jesse) and I are playing shawn and sarah's eyetoy gamme for playstation. The funnest one is the chef game where you are a short order chef that stacks food, cuts, pickles and generally all things fun. I like how you don't kill anything iin the one.

(e:flacidness) and I went to pick (e:jesse) up from the airport on his way back from China. He is staying with us for the week. On the way to get (e:terry) from work we stopped at Anderson's on Union. I hadn't been there in a while but it's still the same. Did anyone ever notice the "anderson's girl" is a ripoff on wendy from wendy's only with blond hair?

Every one of the six phones I ordered got refunded. Now I am back to not having a new phone, argh. I am not sure if the scam is with the sellers or with amazon. I ordered from every single phone on the first page for the phone I want on amazon. It makes me questiion the whole process. I mean amazon look is great because their is a whole page of cheap prices. But none of them are legit! One guy even wrote to me after amazon cancelled the order to say that he could still sell it to me if I sent a moneygram to romania. Ya, right.

At least I got the money back. I guess it pays to shop with an amazon visa on amazon. I still want a phone though. It feels really bad to go from having 6 mega cool phones to zero. I ordered one more, the next price up, just to see but I fear it will get cancelled too. Maybe I need to travel to finland.
