Patrick 's Parade
It was crazy, there were so many 12-15 year olds drinking the street. We had beer in the car and I asumed it was not cool to have it in the street. We were so wrong people, from 12-80 were openly drinnking everywhere. It was a good time all and all. We ended up meeting holly, trish and paul. I think they are coming to dinner at the 567, where we can discuss the future.

There were about 10,000 people. When we first got, there were about 2 blocks of school busses lined up.

We also saw the iron worker's float where there was only one worker. I guess are not many iron workers left in Buffalo, RIP Bethlemehem Steel.

I also learned that the Irish American population is extremely patriotic and seriously associated with civic sevice. I have never seen so many police, fireman and oher service workers in a parade. They even had part of the parade with armoured swat team tanks. It was kind of scary because I was not sure what the message was upposed to be. All I know is that the Irish is the most drunken group of celebraters I have ever seen.

The craziest thing was that there are boys that do that irish little girl dance. they wear all black and don't have skirts.

Scud Cinema 4d file
Zack, I am also up for a beer.

As for the wirefusion, there is not standard set up for this yet. However, you can post a movie using flash video exporter. That is one of the main reasons I added flash. Audio and video. It compresses it really small. If you need help with this, just stop by next Monday and we can work it out. It should be really easy.

As for your hero character's cinema 4d file. I was able to remodel him. I can't send you the file caus eI am using c4d 8.5 and it won't work. I could have sent you a VRML file but then you would lose all the textures because they were done with set selection instead of UV mapping(definately something to consider in the future!). I think that the problem was somehow the points there still believed they were in a symmetry object. Here is what I did to solve it. Email me if you need anyhing.

1. Go into polygon mode and select the polygons I higlighted above in orange. Make sure to delete all the way around the back side of the character and both rows.

2. Go into points mode and right click a point. Then select optimize and check unused points and click ok. The middle row of point should disappear.

3. Switch back to polygon mode, then using the bridge tool connect each section.

4. Finally using the knife tool add the middle row of point sback, by going into front mode and making a cut right down the middle of the newly created polygon strip.

5. In the end it should be perfectly normal.

There is starting to be so much new code
There is starting to be so many new things. I hope you guys enjoy them even if you don't know exactly what has changed yet. I have the week off so expect lots more.

The newest one as of right now is the new "email a journal" function. SImply click on the little envelope in each journal entry to have it mailed to an email address.

This is a great way to copy a journal to a friend, or to share the site with someone. In the email it also send a direct link to the author's journal so that the user can see it in full-color with media if desired.

Nakedness

So I took matthew's example and uncensored my old journals that had non-secual nakedness that I censored. I guess I feel freed from self censorship now? It feels kind of like sahving your head in the winter.

St Patrick's Day
Category: holiday
I don't know who he is, except for that people worship him by drinking beer on Sunday's instead of going to church - or something that like. Anyways, we will be at his parade. Maybe we'll see you there.
