Inhaler Madness and TB Shots

I realized I have misplaced my inhaler. Today I have to be with some cats. This is a nightmare combination. The employee clinic at Roswell insisted that I get a TB shot.

The computer clears the records every year, so even though I got the shot 5 months ago, I need one again. I thought this, could work out maybe they can get me an inhaler. However, they can't. I would need to talk with my primary care physician, which I don't have yet. I should probably just go back after the cat experience and require oxygen instead, argh!

Apparently i have good blood pressure still even on my high protein diet.

Mother's Day Extravaganza

My mother seriously outdid the last three mother's days. While waiting for the food to be ready I caught this on TV. A show called Po vs Connie where Husband and Wife duo Maurey Povich and Connie Chung do a liberal vs conservative schtick. What is the world coming to.

There was also a variety of new reality Television shows including Shalomn in the Home and some other show about the life of a family of dwarves. You would think the reality televsion bubble has got to burst soon.

I thought last years mother's day had the most food possible (e:paul,3303) but this year she had 5 kinds of meat. I wonder when I look back at the data after world war three what I will think of the excess we have now.

(e:mike) at the dinner table

We ate a lot, then we played games

Banana minus Peel equals eel

This is supposed to be a barber.

Old anger revisited
After looking around last year May on my journal, I realized how much my life has changed for the better. I went from the most unhappy time in my life to being satisiied with just about every aspect. I hope that it makes those of you who are unhappy now realize how much your world can change. I realized I truly hated this time last year and I am so glad those days are over. Nonna died, I had no money, and I didn't get the job that I thoughtwas my dream job. Now I have a job I love so much, awesome coworkers and money to buy a house. I really hate the fact that I doubted the future then.

I blame my unhappiness on working with too many old people whose talent had either dried up or who never had any. Looking back I realize now that Canisius was really holding me back on every level. I guess that is what happens when you work with mediocracy for too long - it just makes you complacent. I truly feel sorry for students that waste their money on that lame digital media program.

Ants and Gas

Ants like to eat eggs apparently. They had a kitchen full of stuff to eat including some fruit the squirrels left behind and they chose the eggs.

Gas prices are so high.

words of mansion, thesis and food

Well at least we put a bid in on one. We made an offer and seeing as we are the only people who have an offer in, I think we are buying it.

We ate at jimmy mac's with (e:robin). I know I have posted a hundred pics of these burgers but I finally, I have a comparison of something to the size of the chesseburger and it' (e:robins) head.

Afterwards I went to Julie Perini's thesis show. I really enjoyed her dance and reverse order food ordering videos. The show setup was great to. I had not been over to the Big Orbit Gallery on Essex Street before.

Man, I could kill myself for not having handed in my thesis. I had edited it a bit but then (e:shawnr) had his thesis drama and it freaked me out.

thanks mark

Hey Paul,
Hope all has been well with you and your job. I wanted to let you know that my coding experience that I gained from your class helped me get a job at Datatel, formely known as LiquidMatric, in the development department. Other students in the dma program have been asking a few of us where we learned to make such cool web sites when compared to their photoshop sliced sites and we all get to credit you and the advanced programming class. A few of us have also been wondering how Hour720 is coming along. And finally, as I am now phone shopping, could you tell me what model you have? I remember is being cool and computer-like, but not huge like some other pda-type phones.
Thanks!

I Graduated?

I am at (e:robins)'s house and according to the commencement pamphlet I graduated. Maybe I can just hang that on my wall.

The house on prospect needed mowing. One tenant hasn't paid the rent yet and she is out of town now.

The sky was beautiful on Prospect for a minute.

Hayes Fish Market

I went to Hayes fish market in Kenmore (MAP TO: 3279%20DELAWARE%20AVENUE) today as part of my year long quest for the rock shrimp source. There is also one on Harlem Road (MAP TO: 3985%20HARLEM%20ROAD). The fish monger told me it wasn't the season but when I asked when it was he smiled and said he didn't know, lol. If any of you know where I can buy these, besides at a restaurant, please tell me.

Anyways, the place is also a fried seafood extravaganza. It smelled so yummy. I find it bizarre that my seafood dependent mother had not found this out before or at least not told me. I got the fried shrimp dinner.
