Dieselboy was great. I danced till I felt like I was going to pass out for the first time in years. The place was kind of small but the crowd and the music were awesome. The heavy metal meets techo session was weird. But I even danced to that. Then I passed out at TK's house at like 4am and was yelled at for not checking in at 6am. I was really tired.

I started the post Diesel Boy experience walking to Globe Market for breakfast. We had ran out of water at home, so I had to go get some somewhere.



On the way home I took this pic but didn't realize till afterwards where I was stepping. Sorry mom.



[size=m]I know this is gross but...[/size]
When I got home I decided it was time to do the dishes so that our sink would be clean for (e:ladycroft)'s party. You can't believe how nasty it was. Unfortunately, it turned out I was allergic to the dish soap and my nose would not stop dripping. Which sucks when you have wet hands. I decided to let it go and see what happens. It was very uncomfortable. I guess if you don't wipe you r noise it literally drips endlessly.




Then the party started to begin . . .

(e:matthew) and I headed out to the Polish Villa for lunch. It's located on Union near William st. The prices were so reasonable and the portions were huge. I had the fishfry because it was friday. I kind if regret not having more traditional polish food but the fish fry looked so yummy.

The place was packed. If we had arrived even ten minnutes later, we wouldn't have gotten a seat. As a matter of fact, when we lefft the line was going out the door.

Then I went apartment hunting with (e:mike). They both sucked. One was in a basement and the ceilings were too low for his head. It was basically an old ice closer/rec room converted nto an apartment. The bedroom had no windows nd a half a foot thick iron freezer door. The asking price was $575 - that is just ridiculous.

Then we headed over to Norwood. It was a giant attic apartment but the entire place was coated in doghair. I never had such bad experiencs. We didn't even get to the point where we checked out water pressure! I guess sub $600 is the same as sub $350 was a year or two ago.

The social security office in the Appletree Business Park is insane. There are about 20 people in a 15 x9 room. There are two windows but only one is open. It is absolutely silent. I knew the local gov't was bankrupt but this is a federal office. I suppose the government can no longer afford to staff the social security offices with the war and the hurricane.

It's a lot of old crippled people and they are getting angry. One old guy just freaked out because he waited a really long time for an application. He yelled out and left without it.

Where are the workers?

I remember when this place was the como mall. We used to come here with my granmother all the time. I remember seeing the Great Muppet Caper here.

I can't believe that I stayed up working on programming till 7:20am. I took a picture so I would believe it myself.



I am mostly done working for the weekend, so it works out. However, I am ridiculously tired. Now I just need to go get a social security card so I can get paid for it!!

Look at my eyes. I took a pic so I would remember what it felt like to think till you are exhausted when I am old. If they give me a problem at the social security office I am likely to go postal. Look for me on the news, lol.

You may ask yourself where is (e:paul) and all the new stuff that usually happens every two weeks. Well, he got roped into a million and half other things. Soon I will be back and there will be a bizillion updates I'm sure.

In the mean time I have been hired to work on stuff for the Virtual Reality Department at UB. My first task was redoing their web site which used to look like this.



Now it looks like this. The white is supposed to be the profile of one of the characters I created for one of Josephine's VR projects and the yellow shooting out the eyes is the beam from the projector that make sthe VR happen. The grommets are just my usual grommets from Cinema 4D. I wonder how (e:strip) made it so far without them. I put the beta version here


The biggest changes however are in the way it is coded. Now it is XHTML compliant with js separated from HTML and style separated from content. It can also be updated by the professors there without work on my part. Hopefully, that works out.

I like this logo even if gears are cliche.



I love how the spell check always wants to change Josephine's VR project to Josephine's VCR project!

On a side note while I was checking the new page for XHTML compliance I tested out the media studies site at UB and wow what a totally not standard piece of crap code job it is. It doesn't even have a doctype not that it would be valid for any doctype. The css and javascript are all included in the main doc instead of included as external files so that they could be cached. It is basically lame code side, although it at least looks nice.

It just proves the fact that I wasted so much time and money at the crappy school. The guy who taught the web classes sucked so bad. I heard that he was paid like $7000 to make that site and then paid students to do it for like $500.
