Karaoke At The Tudor Lounge

· · 🌡️ 40°F

We had a crazy evening last night going out to the Tudor Lounge with @enknot . Don't miss the video of him singing at the end of the journal.

Chris came to visit from San Francisco

Once we were at the Tudor Lounge I took a lot of pics.

Kimya Dawson and My Birthday

· · 🌡️ 46°F

Okay, I am just going to throw this out there. The best thing that could ever happen for my 30th birthday on the 22nd is Kimya playing at the 24.

Can somebody make that happen?

Weight Loss Drugs For Dogs

· · 🌡️ 0°F

Okay, this is totally ridiculous. Now they have a weight loss drug for drugs. It seems like running outside and a sensible diet is a much more reasonable approach. Do you think the dogs feel like people do on diet pills. Can they get addicted?

It is so insane that in so many places people are starving and here we are having a dog weight control problem. Maybe instead we should focus on the dog meat export industry.

My Head Mounted Camera

· · 🌡️ 52°F

My head mounted camera that e:naturephoto 's suggested when we were chatting one night. It seems pretty awesome.

The package reports that it can be used up to 3 meters underwater and has some people scuba diving with it. It takes a standard memory card and uses standard usb and has a tv hookup. It is the epitomy of standard., I cannot wait to see what version of movie it makes. The package reports it record at 640x480 at 30fps.

It is weird to have a camera without a viewfinder but it rocks that you can attach it to your body and that it costs only ~$120.

What is silicone grease and why don't I want to eat it?

Here is a video from it. It is about 800k which is quite tiny. I makes standard compliant avi files that works in both windows media player and quicktime. The camera simply mounts as an external drive just like a usb jump drive with all the videos on it - without a driver or install disk! I think that is a miracle. However, the videos look really bad in low light as is expected for $100.

Neon Thai Buffet Sucks

· · 🌡️ 0°F

This food is from Neon Thai Buffet on Niagara Falls Blvd. I would say it is as disgusting as it looks after I ate it. The reason I took the picture in this state is that i didn't want anyoen to think that it was maybe even good. They barely had any food, I am still hungry - it cost me around $10 and the food they had was not very hot. It appeared they were cooking as people came in to try and keep waste down and save money, but what really happend is they didn't have enough hot food that tasted good.

Have you ever been to a buffet where most of the food was gone during the middle of the Buffet hours. Wh

Please don't harass my parents

· · 🌡️ 42°F

Mr. Bruce Zeftel,

I was just informed that you contacted my parent's private residence in Kenmore regarding the issue about the journal written by the user 'lilho'.

Please be advised that any future contact with estrip.org should be conducted directly with this email address or through the site's public messenging interface which you used earlier.

It is innapropriate to contact my parent's home in kenmore as I have not lived there since the mid 90s when I was a minor and they have no affiliation with the site.

Any future contact with my parents will be taken as harassment.

Thank you for your cooperation,
Paul Visco






Saddam Is Dead

· · 🌡️ 30°F

Is the war over now? I wonder if we will ever witness the execution of an American Leader in our lifetimes. I am sure the iraqis never thought they would see Saddam Die.

I wonder what will happen with Iraq now?
