Party Part 1 - e:ladycroft's birthday
Category: party
My cell phone can hold 800 pictures and 1GB of music so eat that Steve Jobs.
Needless to say I have plenty of media from the party. So much in fact that you dialuppers should view these entries in low bandwidth mode.

(e:ladycroft)'s birthday was supposed to start out with a scavanger. unfortunately, people came late and not enough people had car's with CD player or sober drivers by the time it was really began at around midnight.

As soon as (e:terry) pulled in the door from his work at FEMA, (e:alison) and I jumped in and the scavenger hunt began. (e:jill), (e:mike), and (e:lilho) were the other team.

We didn't realize that the other teams all needed to see the balloon and considering they left ten minutes before us, we though we were set.

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::



The first clue took us to Sister's Hospital where our team promptly stole the balloon.

The ballonn lead us to McDonald's where (e:alison) ate fries and I had my first taste of a McDonald's product since 1995. It tastes ill.like crap still.

In the end none of us got to the finish

image

At some point we were supposed to be presented with the choice between several version of the true (e:ladycroft) and then pick which one was her. We didn't get that far. Poor (e:ladycroft) and Theecarey spent like 2 hours waiting for everyone at the finish. I will let her explain the rest. Either way, we kicked (e:mike)'s team's ass because they never even found the balloon (even though we stole it.)

Yesterday
Category: peeptalk
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 . . .

polish villa
(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.

You didn't have cauliflower, potatoes and saur kraut??? I'm crushed. Despite all the meat, Polish food is quite nice.

social security office
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.

Paul, I looked for you at the Canisius the other day but couldn't find. What time are you there usually? I like the new VR site. I think it fits to the other visuals. Take Care.

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

image

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.

i was in my photo class today, looking at the site, and my superneato teacher say 'wow, awesome site! the graphics look incredible!' so i told her who you were and she was extremely impressed. she said she was surprised she hasn't met you because she knows a lot of the graphic-y people at canisius.


haha. obviously you are just too cool for school.

That'll make the perfect photo for your "wanted" poster.
