Paul, the formaldehyde truffle pig
I am especially sensitive to formaldehyde I can smell it in really small concentrations and it makes me nuts. Same with various plastic smells, seem like softer plastics and cheaper plastic smell worse to me. Anyways, I think formaldehyde is the worst smell. Ever since dissecting my first of three fetal pigs in Biology class I became instantly familiar with the pungent odor that is formaldehyde. They have definitely used it in the Life Sciences building at work because I can always detect it there. Even in the little food shop. In fact I refuse to go there. Lots of new buildings smell like it and plywood is the worst.
Formaldehyde Facts
Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable, strong-smelling gas that is used to manufacture building materials and produce many household products
Formaldehyde sources in the home include pressed wood products, cigarette smoke, and fuel-burning appliances
When exposed to formaldehyde, some individuals may experience various short-term health effects
Formaldehyde has been classified as a human carcinogen (cancer-causing substance) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and as a probable human carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
esearch studies of workers exposed to formaldehyde have suggested an association between formaldehyde exposure and cancers of the nasalnasopharynx, and brain, and possibly leukemia sinuses,

The Dinner Party Last Night
There was also a dance party and a lot of kitchen craziness. I have enough inappropriate pics of (e:lilho) to start my very own drunken girl site, lol.
It was nice to see everyone. (e:lilho), (e:terry), (e:matthew), (e:mike), (e:jim), (e:james), (e:jason), (e:joshua), (e:vincent), (e:incrutiable), (e:carolinian), (e:flacidness), (e:enknot), (e:zobar), (e:dragonlady7), (e:lauren), (e:fellyconnelly), (e:tina)
I don't have any appropriate pictures. Did anyone take pictures?

Back to Patrick O'neil Chiropractic
I seriously could only turn my head about 25 degrees either way the last few days - which I have to say is a serious driving danger. I never realized how much I turn my head until, I couldn't. Same with walking and trying to cross the street. It is way dangerous to turn your whole body because you can't do it very quick.
I already have a little more range but this time I think it my neck injruy was worse. I still can't really turn to the left very far. He said I would be in pain tonight and maybe tomorrow and to call him if it gets worse tomorrow and to schedule a follow up appointment on Monday. He also said I should relax, drink lots of fluids and look straight ahead for the rest of the evening. I really want to go to the massage therapist now. I wish I could go now. Are their 24 hours massage places or is that sketchy and really a different line of work once it is 24 hours.
Run white boy run
I was almost late for the Chiropractor this evening because I stayed at work talking to my teammates about some computer situation we were having. So I started to run home down Washington in order to get the car and a gaggle of ghetto trash coming out of the subway yelling run whitey, run or something and then they were all laughing and yelling more. Maybe that is how they take out their aggression about the unfairness built into our society. At least it wasn't with guns. Besides, I was secretly laughing on the inside thinking about their lives - tragic. I guess that makes me a bad person - whatever. Sometimes I think I should just buy one of those shooting tazers from out of state.

Dinner at sahara grill
(e:terry) really seems to hate valentines day which always makes it so pleasant. I guess I can't complain too much as we have plenty of romantic days not on valentine's day.
So I was thinking that I probably have had 24/7 internet access wherever I go since about 2003, except for maybe a week of remote camping. I wonder what would happen to me if it went away?
I want to shout out to my nokia n810 not phone for having an innovative keyboard that requires no shift press to type a apostrophe.

Walgreens had valentines pigs dressed in leather chaps. What is that about? Now to decide on a place to eat?
We want to go out for dinner but no one can decide where to go?

Estrip vacation
Then I had to write some rules so that when people requested the old files in links and stuff, that they would be redirected to the new ones. I also read all the news form the mobile phone convention which was exciting but not like buy it now exciting. Everything, was about some distant other phone in the semi distant future ;( That is not why I saved up for this!!
When is the first android phone coming out after all. And when is the freakin' iphone SDK coming out - and flash for the iphone. I am ready now.
I am so ready for something exciting and new in the mobile world. What I really want is the not phone to have its own 3G. Ok maybe to get my sms accepting me into the skyfire beta program.I have been waiting two weeks!!

My Mother's Birthday
It was one of the most amazing meals I ever ate. The service and food was unbelievable. We had a server and two server helpers that attended to everything. I had never had that level of service anywhere.
I had Jonah crab, my mother had a 2 1/4 lb lobster. (e:mike) had scallops, my father had lamb chops and (e:terry) had ny strip steak with blue crab meat. Poor (e:matthew) was sick ;( The lobster was the biggest lobster I ever saw. It doesn't look as big in the pic as it did in real life.
The interior was really nice. I especially liked the suede high back booth we were in.
Here you can see part of the menu. You can see the full menu on their website
Their fireplace was awesome. I kind of want one like this.
Afterwards we went home for cake and gift opening.
(e:miek) trying to listen to something
Mom and me at the table
WE tried to take a family photo but for some reason, my brother (e:mike) cannot smile in a picture. My mom has trouble too. WE all had trouble with it basically. Maybe its genetic. We had so many retakes, this is just a small sample.
By the end I was laughing so hard. poor (e:terry) had to take the pics.

Random Stuff
What is this car part? I found it in my Grandfather's stuff when I was trying to decide what to keep and what to get rid of. It seems like someone with this car would really want the part but I can't seem to idenitfy it. It is is perfect condition and made out of really heavy solid metal/steal/chrome.
It looks so retro futuristic
I set up the old server with the graphic card that used to be in it. Before it was the estrip server for two years, it was my 3D rendering station. I remember buying this FireGL X1 256MB graphic card for $1000 with my student loan money. It was so freakin' awesome at the time in 2003. Now laptops have that much graphic memory ;( It's probably worth nothing now. Luckily, it is worth something to (e:terry) who can use it to play warcraft on the machine.

Everyone thought I was pregnant!
I think I offered this before but I'm serious, if you want an air purifier that takes out formaldehyde I can get you one cheap. Apparently the less you're exposed to it, the more you can then tolerate.
I consider it a gift. We can be out somewhere and she will be perturbed about something she smells and I'm completely oblivious.
