Smoking - It'a Quitting Time
Category: health
Last night we went out to Allen Street Hardware and the Pink for (e:rachel)'s birthday. I smoked lots of cigarettes.

Being that I officially start work tomorrow morning at Roswell Park, I think it is an appropriate time to really quit smoking. I have been smoking since I was twelve.

I never smoked more than three cigarettes a day but I also have been rolling my own and mostly smoking unfilted cigarettes.

I remember the first time still. At least I am pretty sure. After religion class my friend Heather and I headed to (e:iriesara)'s and I remember having entirely to much coffee in religion class. Heather and I mixed the coffee with hot chocolate packages and way too many coffee grounds.

The teachers didn't seem to ever mind because we were often the life of the religion class. Whenever I was that hyper I would get really into class.

So afterwards we headed down Eugene over to Sara's and somehow we had cigarettes. I am going to assume that they came from Watson's on Deleware in Kenmore. They are the same people that own Watson's Candy but back then they had a restaurant too and in the back they had an unguarded cigarette machine which was great for a kid wanting cigarettes.

When we smoked heather got sick and threw up. I believe (e:iriesara) and I liked it and we became smokers. I think she loves them even more they I do. In fact, she kind of sounds like captain Jane Way from Star Trek Voyager.

(e:lilho) likes to smoke too. Here she is before and after smoking.

Paul, I think we got those cigarettes from the Swiss Chalet machine on Main Street next to George & Co. on one of our infamous half-day excursions - remember, with lis gerber? Anyway, yes, heather totally heaved and we thought that was pretty funny. I personally have not had a day go by that I've smoked less than 3 cigs - hoping to quit soon. I'm now smoking as much as my brown little lungs can handle until then so that I get totally sick of it. I sound like Capt. Janeway? Not even like Kathleen Turner or something sexy like that? wow, thanks!

Rosewell has a smoking cessation program that could possibly be of help. If you try it let me know how it goes, I need to quit too.

Live internet radio
Category: mobile
Nothing beats live internet streaming radio at 128k on my mobile phone. I suggest You can listen to it with any streaming internet player liek itunes, realplayer, or window media. It has radically reconfigured my thoughts about internet radio and radio as a medium.

Tongiht I met Val Townsend at the pink. Any friend of (e:shawnr)'s is a friend of mine.

i was the girl in the pink coat.

next time find me and say hi

I havn't tried streaming Radio in a long time. The few times I tried it the stations would stop working for some unknown reason. As soon as buffering starts then it becomes annoying. On another note I have never met Val. She sounds like she is a preaty cool chick from what i have heard on The EDGE.

Just testing the corrupt jpegs
Category: mobile
My phone had the same problem thate:shawnr's had with corrupt jpeg headers. Luckily, I am a master of hex data and regular expressions so I was able to fix it.

Now the journal is really ready for mobile use on my phone. 1 month until (e:flacidness) moves to NYC.

Windows Mobile 2005
Category: mobile
I have always hated windows in general. I never liked Windows 95,98 and XP was ok but still had all kinds of trouble. I have used about ten differetn flavors of linux and liked them al pretty much. i liked the mac OS.

But windows mobile 2005, is seriously the most amazing mobile operating system. I mean the phone itself is probably hard to compare to other ones because it has a 400mhz processor but windows mobile is so speedy. Far superior to the Symbian series 90 nokia that I just had before this and which cost just as much.

I can listen to (e:strip) radio live streaming with no lag or buffer. I am basically one happy boy. Thank you eLdrchlorine for providing continuous mobile entertainment.
