This "morning" when I woke up at 1PM I heard someone knocking on the door. I ignored it because I was still feeling dazed from sleep. Man they were not kidding that the gym would make you sleep better. The problem is that I never had any problem sleeping. So now will I just always sleep?



So the noise at the door turned out to be a package. I assumed it was just YAMC but it turned out to be a valentines box from (e:hodown). Who else would get me maple syrup and mapple candy with a mini shrine to Virgin Mary.

The best part is a bottle of pure maple syrup labled northern comfort.





Inside there was also a bootie music CD.

I used to have a really big shrine to Mary but one day I came home and (e:terry) and (e:jacob) dressed it all up in orange nd black hell style. It was mostly stolen goods anyways so it probably fit.

Ok I am off to my little cousins birthday. We are already 2 hours late. The kids beat the hell out of a sponge bob square pants pinata. All that was left were some limbs.

The neighbors in front had to put their cat to sleep and they are having a party. I am so excited. now I can finally visit the rest of the house. Go dead cats!

So I started going to the gym at the BAC downtown with (e:terry) and (e:lilho). It smells like high school. I had forgotten the smell of a lockeroom. It is a weird musty smell. Rememeber what it would smell like when you left your towel in the gym locker between gym classes. It is kind of like that smell.

The machines are pretty fun but I felt like I was going to throw up afterwars.

We are planning on going dancing tonight at Opium if we aren't broken fromt he gym



and to the Rabies Beamer Party [inlink]jacksmack,26[/inlink] tomorrow.

Has anyone checked out which is microsofts answer to online mapping that is significatly more amazing than google maps in terms of the clarity and options of the images. You can even view you house very upclose at bird's eye view and choose from four different angles.



Today at work I finished writing my drag/drop and effects javascript library that I have been working on. Eventually it will bring new features to the site. Also the discussion program is like 80% done. I just need to build in some sort of diff feature for comparing versions and its set to go. Adding users by dragging and dropping the little cute heads is really fun. You will see.

This picture is actually reduced here you should see the original. Make sure to click on the large building icon near the top left of the map. It super zooms in then. I am surprised they let you get this close to such sensitive places

I almost never eat at chain places. Those of you that know me, know that 98% of the time you can find me eating at some restaurant within two miles of my house. Part of it is lazyness but a major part of it is that the elmwood area offers so many good restaurants which in turn offer a wide variety of foods from American to Turkish and Pizza to fine dining.

However, today I saw the pizza hut ad for some chessy bites pizza and I am obsessed with having it. (e:mike) and I decided it was ana emergency and got righ ton the case. I visited the pizza hut site and believe it or not you can order online. Just not at our location, argh. I was even more excited for the order onlien potential. I wish I had carreid through with my takeout online site busienss plan but at least I have health care now.

So, it's on its way. Yummy freakin tastic.

I realized today that I haven't had a cigarette since the beginning of January. That is a pretty long time for me. I think it is finally quits. That anti-smoking commerial where they squeeze out the guys aorta mixed with working at Roswell was the final winning combo for beating the demon. How can something so toxic feel so good. The only time I really crave them anymore is when I see them on television or in the movies.

On Sunday (e:liloh), (e:terry), (e:matthew), Dave and I went to go see Brokeback Mountain. They smoked a lot. At some points the movie was kind of slow but it was definately a good movie overall and gave a lot of perspective to what it is like to have parts of your your life censored. It's sad that it takes a fictional story to make people realize that that kind of stuff happens.





I still have a hard time concentratin at the movies. I just cannot get over the one way, single track media epxerience. After about ten minutes I start to get figety. I just am not used to being on the receving end of media creation without being able to do lots of other stuff like program, or design at the same time. SOmehow though, I can't stop thinking about their sad story.
