Business as unusual
First of all I have to say (e:jason) made my day by offering to hang the (e:strip) banner on his house on elmwood, directly across the street from Spot coffee.

I spent so much time working on the site that I forgot Wednesday is the day I offcially begin working on my thesis. It will be done soon enough and then I can move on to the next thing. Which at this point is about 5,000,000 things. I really just want the Boston job more than anything in the world. I hope they wern't looking at the site during the upgrades today because that would really suck!

I love web programming so much (DHTML, PHP, MySQL) and I hope that it can just become a full-time job for me. The job has all the possibilty of making me happy because it is a group I like and it not some corporate sell out job.

Speeking of working, I also need to get started on Gamesfirst GF! (e:shawnr) owns that site with his wife and some friends. I am thinking about becomming a partner and doing the programming. Seems like a good project, I just wish it had more immediate results in terms of money. We are so poor now that i am not allowed to spend any money until next week. Unless I get a job I like, we are only going to get poorer and poorer until I starve to death or get some lame job, or move.

I guess I can't complain too much. I have a nice apartment, a car, two lovers and a tortoise but I just don't want to have to leave Buffalo right now. I really enjoy it here, we have a great apartment, we are getting a house and I like the people. Unfortunely, it is hard to find work that I enjoy and I don't feel guilty about (e.g. some corporate sellout job.) I just don't want to be working for evil, unless it is the mafia and then in that case, I AM HERE HIRE ME NOW!!!

I also really want to start this delivery business thing and do a matchmaking site/game but first I need to get started on that thesis.

Last night
We went out danicng last night. It was fun to leave the house for once. I was a little angry though because I made flyers for the site to hand out and then forgot them at home.

Today, we have canoeing with Dave lined up. It's cool that (e:southernyankee) made it down to NYC for the barbeque. Oh (e:lilho) we saw your friend julie last night. She said hello.

I fixed the sketch program
I fixed the sketch feature so that it inserts into your current journal entry when you are done with it, instead of just going into your image library. You can add a sketch by clicking on the add sketch button next to the media lib button in your journal publish box. Stupidly, I have thrown out the original flash file that I made it with, so now if I ever want to change it I have to make it again from scratch.

Speaking of Groceries
Do you guys think it is safer to eat conventional (non-organic) fruit or to not eat fruit at all. I am so torn all the time. Take strawberries for example. The conventional ones are so cheap. You get a giant basket for $2.50 whiel the organic ones are like $4.00 for a pint. I can't afford the organic ones but fruit seems like a heathy addition to a diet. Here is more info about strawberries and methylbromide hazards.
