A friend of Holly Johnson with a few que

Today I got the weirdest email

Hi Paul,
My name is Theresa Chambers, my brother is Matt, Holly Johnson's boyfriend. I'm taking a Women Studies class at UB and for a project I need to interview an active feminist,so Holly gave me your name. She told me that your pro-life and very active in Women's rights, so I was just wondering if I would be at all able to ask you a few questions. Also I'm pro-choice, so I thought it would be interesting talking to you.

If you wouldn't mind doing an interview I could just e-mail you the questions or however you would prefer, if you don't have time to do it that's not a problem either. Just let me know!

Thank you so much for your time,
Theresa

The thing is I am not a women's rights scenester and I am definately not pro-life either. In fact I really don't care about the issue because it doesn't effect me very much. How did this mixup happen. I need to talk to (e:holly) about this.

Here is what I am thinking for a response.

Dear Theresa,
That was so last year. Now I am into Animal Rights. Sorry about the confusion but you know how it is with social trends, they move so quick.
Paul

No seriously, I don't know how to respond to this one because I don't want to say I am not "into" women's rights but really I was never very "active."

After gym glider and I ate shrimp

He loves to eat shrimp so much. I love that he eats anything. It makes dinner more fun with the glider. He ended up double fisting the shrimp. I think that is what opposable thumbs are for.

heloise, are you there?

While eating my delicious quarter chicken diner lunch at Roswell today, I found a good housekeeping magazine on the table.

It reminded me of everything I learned from Heloise as a child. Is she even in the magazine anymore?

I wasn't brave enough to touch a used hospital magazine while eating.

UPDATE - Wow, I just looked her up and of course she has her own web site now

now. Do you think if Heloise thinks it's okay to use the marquee tag that i could get away with it. It works in firefox now too.

Basically, a fun day of listening to kimya and programming to cure cancer.

My dermatology photo sample tagger, viewer, editor is coming along nicely. Don't worry not real patient data, just some images from google.

Squirrels Babies Soon, We eat food

I was in such a bad mood this morning. I wasn't sure if it was that I tried to look at my sad thesis or because I didn't go sidewalk chalking last night to get new people on the site. It has been so long since I worked on my thesis that at the time we only had like 200MB/day of data being viewed. Now it is over a gigabyte on most days.

We brought the squirrels outside for a little bit with the tortoise. He is so hungry for the hay in the backyard. The squirrels liked it to. When I pulled them out o fthe pouch, the boy squirrel had a boner. It was the weirest looking penis - really long and skinny. Skinny like only a couple millimeters across but like an inch long. I think that babies are soon to follow - I guess it is spring afterall. I cannot imagine how cute the babies will be.

We also went to the coop and bought a lot of vegtables. Elmwood was alive with people. In fact (e:terry) mentioned it was as bumping as a shopping plaza in phoenix.

These organic mini oranges are so flavor packed and only 10 cents each. Something must be wrong with them.

I decided to make mini Buffalo brugers and shrimp. Who would ever think that such diverse animals could taste so right together. Thank you oregano and garlic.

I think that the non-bag style natural salad is much crunchier than the bag one. I used to think the bag one was quicker but honestly, you have to wash it and dry it anyways so what the hell is the difference. I am done with the bags.

I still can't believe the house we were gonna buy on Linwood was already bought. They go so damn fast.

WalkieBits at dynamism

I don't know if any of you have ever been to dynamism.com

but it's an interesting site. They basically sell Japanese stuff before it makes it to america. Right now they have these cute little robtoic turtles that can walk around you desk and learn sound patterns from you. I love crap like that.

Rainbows

So I said in the comments on (e:leetee,154) that I had soe rainbow pics too. I wish (e:matthew) had his camera because it was really pretty. I just had my cell phone cam, which is only 1.3MP. This view is from main street.

It was so bright (e:matthew) had to wear (e:lilho)'s sunglasses

on the way to the symposium

Argh, I never recovered enough clipboard data so it was back to estrip and porn poems at the last minute.

I am finally recycling the lemonade. Well at least the bottles live in the trunk and not in my cubicle.

Wireless Power Cords

One of my coworkers sent an email about this wireless extension cord

. (e:terry) and I had talked about this being a possible reality for a while. It sounds mega dangerous to me.

Here is the description from their site.

Just plug the Wireless Extension Cord (WEC) base unit into a standard wall outlet, and plug whatever you need into the satellite unit. The WEC uses microwaves in the 7.2GHz range, so it won't interfere with wireless networks, Bluetooth components, etc. Now, all you need to do is adjust the antennae on the two units so they are aimed at each other. Turn everything on and you have the power! The distance the WEC units can broadcast differs from situation to situation (due to interference of such things as walls, power lines, and microwave ovens), but we've beamed power over 300 feet! The future is wireless - and the WEC's are your ticket to the future.

Warning: Even though these microwaves are about as harmful as the leakage from an ordinary microwave oven (not much), do not put computers, televisions, other sensitive electrical equipment, food, liquids, paper, glass, flammable substances, magnets, or living things in between the base and satellite units. Just in case.

Back Post

These are bunch of pics that never made it into specific journal entries but needed to leave my phone.

They are doing some abestos work at Roswell tomorrow in my building. Suddenly, the signs dissapeared on wednesday and I have no idea if it is happening now. Luckily, I won't be there most of the day because of the Poetry Symposium at UB that I had forgotten about.
