Hi ho, Hi ho, to paris I will goCategory: art
Time to go make some chalk.
In all likelihood, this is probably going to blow up in my face and turn really messy. In fact, I probably should just stick with the target and dollar store suggestions people made in their comments.
But I'm just too dang curious to see if this will actually work.

Chalk experiment this weekendCategory: art
After an unexpected shortage of chalk at the last (e:strip) chalking and having found sidewalk chalk a whole lot more difficult to come by in your average grocery/office supply store, I've started doing some research into making homemade chalk and found a decent-looking site detailing some of the recipes
I really want to try this, but I'm going to have to wait till the weekend; it seems messy and the last thing I need to being doing is cleaning up chalk residuals at 3AM before work the next day (which, left to my own devicing, I would gravitate towards doing).

A few days ago, (e:Uncutsaniflush) and i got a 4 pack of crayola chalk for 99 cents at the Tops on Grant and Amherst. I keep it in my purse in case of chalk emergencies... used it on the corner of Forrest and Elmwood to quickly scrawl estrip.org....

I hate having to change plansCategory: weekend
I really wanted to go to BarCamp is Rochester, but they start the thing on Friday morning (I goofed and thought it was a saturday). By the time I get out of work (~5:00PM) and spend the next 1+ hours driving to Rochester, probably no one's gonna be there; it's such a small group, they'll probably get bored to tears and leave before 11:30AM. Damn, I wish Buffalo could support an unconference.
Luckily, I have a backup thing I want to do this weekend--see "Pirates Of the Carribean II". I looks like a fun movie, and after missing the Black Pearl and getting all these "are you living under a rock" responses from people who saw it (I eventually did see it, a year or more later), I want to be able to keep up to speed with everyone else.

Yeah Johny Depp is a preaty good actor. Yes he is a little weird corky and strange but in a good way. By the way what ever happened to His look alike Skeet Ulrich or what ever his name was.

Not sure if it makes you feel any better, but i didn't see the first Pirates film... well... until last week when it was on Canadian tv. How shameful is that from someone who thinks Johnny Depp is not only pretty, but a pretty good actor?! *hangs head in shame*

Wrong SteveCategory: computers
I meet Steve.
I show him my program that downloads all the NCSU online course registration web pages and searches them. The program I stayed up two days straight working on to get finished before he arrived and which caused me to receive an F on my Anthropology paper the following Monday.
No intercession from Steve whatsoever.
He comes back to visit NCSU again a year later to get his honorary doctorate. I show him my Shakespeare note-taking program. He tells me "that's what computers were meant to do!".
Again, no intercession of any kind.
After reading the posting by (e:Twisted) and the comment by (e:Zobar) , I realize the error of my ways; I was petitioning the wrong Steve. I guess I'll have to e-mail the other Steve if I want a job in Apple's social software division or their super-secret death-ray department.
(p.s. I'm kidding. I'm actually quite happy with the way things turned out, for the most part).
