I am working on new code to make the site talk dynamically in reaction to the users and the world around us.

You can play with it here That is the new home of estrip but for now I will leave that there to play with.

Here is an example. You might know this song. You can make your own.

I got home from meeting with (e:shawnr) and Jamie Moses about the geek meet and Calendar and found that I had got a birthday package from (e:twisted). It was filled with the craziest Candy from Japan. I still have no idea what I am going to do for my birthday. We are seriously considering going to (e:jessika)'s part and then going out afterwards. How did you know that I love Botan rice candy. Serioulsy, it is one of my favorite treats in the world and you cannot buy them anywhere here.



This gum is so soft but it got all over my face.

Gummi freakin sushi. The clam was the best even though it was really peach flavor. I was thinking sushi flavored gummis might be good. I am saving the mold because wegmans now sells make your own gummi supplies.

Thank you (e:twisted)

I finally took half the day off to deal with all the crap at UB.





WHo thought iron steps were a good idea in Buffalo. You think they would have had better forsight.



I found Josephine and finally got to see the monkats [search]monkat[/search] I made in the virtual reality environment they were intended for. You can go see the virtual reality theatre piece, The trial the Trail on Friday. I think at Hallwalls but it might be at squeaky wheels, I will find out and post about it.

Terry is getting new glasses at Americas Best. He joined the plan last time so the eye exam as free. He won't let me post pictures of his glasses on my journal so I am trying on a pair for me. Well maybe a pair for the artvoice Geek Meet.



Did anyone else know that wrangler makes relaxed fit glasses?



I got my bluetooth GPS. I haven't gotten it to work yet. Someday I we be able to figure out where I am.

I was thinking about the ho girl's bitching about the site and would like to point out that both of you two are guilty of exactly what you are complaining about [inlink]lilho,382[/inlink] [inlink]hodown,212[/inlink]. (e:hodown), we just lived through a whole journal about a matress. Not that there is anything wrong with that, you all know I document everything, but you are the one saying we need more entertainment.

So I was thinking about it some more and I think the problem is a lack of straight men for the woman to get excited about. Anyone have an idea hwo to change that. Dare I say scandalous lesbian photos of (e:lilho) whipping her mistress in a black lycra unitard woiuld do it?

I am really debating the necessity my graduation at this point. I definately learned almost nothing while at UB. Maybe I just learned too much during my undergradute years, or I expected too much but I really didn't learn anything that could not have been condensed into a "small" pamphlet. I guess I learned what beaurocracy was.

I will use this form as an example. This form was due last december. I have had it online since then. Does anyone else see the irony that I got a degree in media studies, where I studied online communication and this form isn't acceptable. It needs to be handed in, hard copy. Same with my notification that I quit my job at UB. Why can't they just take my word for it. I quit, I quit, I quit - I am not returning. I have filled out over 50 of these types of forms. Before, when I was able to go to UB during business hours it was possible to be a form slave. Now I just can't leave work to take the subway to wqalk to the CFA in the middle of a business day.

It's my own fault for not realizing that it was all so unimportant earlier. Like if I had quit at credit 10 it would have been much easier to write it off. But now I owe about 40,000 for it. I am 75 credits into my 60 credit nightmare degree and the digustng part is that I had a 4.0 until this point because I was really serious about always doing lots of work and being on top of it all - that is until this part.

Frankly, I might as well just get another job and pay off the whole thing in the next couple years and then bury this whole fake art crap thing behind me. I am so not feeling the vibe of most of the other art students and I think I was just in the wrong place. I wish I had just never been pressured into going back to school.

I hate schools, I hate academics. It is all so pretentious. I think I was just allured by the summers off. I think that is what it really came down too. How lame is that.

I rememeber one time when I was in spain I looked at this giant miro sculpture and was like what is all this art crap that everyone is talking about. They should just melt it all down and make productive stuff out of it. I think that is where this all started. That day in spain. Somehow I got all wound up into it until one day recently I started to really consider what it was.

So the problem is this. To graduate in spring I need to enroll in a one credit course because the rule is that you have to be enrolled for one credit the semester you graduate. If I don't then I have to do it all over again later. This has been going on for so long. I don't want the one credit. The one credit doesn't want me and I deifnately will not learn anything.
