The swan and snowflakes
Yes i am still up working on haikus and snowflakes.

The snow flakes are an experiment in alternative menus. They aree just in their infant phase. Being simple ASCII text they are very low impact. You can "shovel" the whites up by clicking them. The red ones turn them off for that session. The orange one produces haiku's using an eleborate formula. The green one animates them which is autpaused while you are typing a journal entry to make it less distracting. Full winter effects for the site will be avaiable soon, flakes willl only come out when it is snowing after I get some time to fnd a better weatehr feed. I previously using the NOAA feed at but it only reported overcast for today, even though it definately snowed.

It seemsunreal at this point. What else seems unreal is The Swan. (e:holly) knows more about this show than anyone. She presented about it at a conference in Montreal. It is a reality TV show for plasric surgery . (e:terry) said he thinks that this is a worse indictation of what our society has turned into than the election of George Bush. Personally, I would love to see a presidential makeover reality show, where the president gets a political makover.

This is what erica went through.

This is what I am suggetsing for Mr. Bush: To start out with we need a social welfare understanding booster. We would have to take some of the fat away from oil industry and add it back to the poor. Then maybe a reduction in the sagging defense buget proposals followed by aggresive, radical braiin augmentation.

PS (e:twisted) is the best beta tester in the world.

Translation
I was working a a translatorclass for my poetry projects when I stumbled upon this error at a site.

It was not entered a phrase to let you remind your password


I found it a perfectly ironic end to my search for help with translation.

Poetry at it most reduced
I have seriously been working all day on my haiku project. It is now like 500 lines of code and insanely complicated but they are starting to sound better.

everybody(5) (5) , increasingly(4) rummaging(3) (12) , doleful(2) believing(3) (17) .

procrastinator(5) (5) , sometimes(4) excited(3) (12) , scarred(2) probably(3) (17) .

I like this one but it is a failure cause homogenized only has 4 syllables.
homogenized(5) (5) , elementary(5) scraping(2) (12) , frozen(2) working(2) few(1) (17) .
