The Hate Freaks
Category: hate
Why do these people hate Thursday in the Square so much. I think they come to listen to the music but use the signs as an excuse to get away with it in the context of their 'puritanical' lifestyles.

I am glad there are laws because they make me so angry I could kill one. I would really like to kill this one. He has affected me multiple times over many yeas. As the blogosphere as my witness he will someday pay dearly.

(e:matthew) and (e:terry) remember when he promised to protest at our house every saturday. The time he had the megaphone and you turned on the lawnmower. I will have to link to the journal when I get home.

I am thrilled that they are surrounded by young people fighting with and yelling at them. They are the most digusting perversion of christianity that exists.

Whenever you feel like killing a random religious extremist, just think of the imbeciles who drove up from the south (Georgia? Virginia?) last year who thought they were here to protest the Gay Pride parade.

Sadly, they were a week late and ended up protesting the Allentown Art Festival instead. :-x

Down with Art!! lol

You can tell these people are crazy. They kind of remind me of cristalbelle's gang from that Silent Hill Movie.

It's people like this that make me embarassed to call myself a Christian. I assure you that not all Jesus Freaks are actually freaks. :(

The Hellenic Festival
Category: food

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::



It was expensive and basically just about food - and not even particularly high quality food. I would say you are better off spending the money on a nice greek dinner and reading a book about greece. I wouldn't go again.

Child Labor in the kitchen?

Greek Coffee is mega disgusting compared to Italian. I would never try it again.

Loukoumi (WIKIPEDIA - Loukoumi) - This stuff tastes so good. There was this really amazing rose flavored ones. They are also called Turkish Delight.

turkish delight... i've always wondered what it tasted like since reading the lion, the witch, and the wardobe.

Greek coffee [ie, Turkish coffee] is usually much better than Italian coffee, when it's made properly. Whereas espresso is burned, bitter, and generally quite foul, Turkish coffee is much easier on the palate, especially when flavored with cardamom. Traditionalists say it should be 'black as Hell, strong as death, and sweet as love,' but I prefer mine half-sweet with baklava or unsweetened with a small glass of Bärenjäger. However- under no circumstances are you to drink the sludge!

<rant>As with espresso, Turkish coffee is one of those things that you either love or hate. Yet I fail to understand why you can get a $3 demitasse of motor oil^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hespresso prepared 75 different ways at any erudite coffeeshop around here, but when you ask for Turkish the barista's eyes glaze over and they start drooling.</rant>

Hell, I could have told you that about the Festival. I literally live two doors away from it and don't bother. $5 at the Towne gets you a better meal by far. Coffee still sucks, but is much more affordably sucky.

Sneak Preview of a Crazy Night
Category: food
We went to chris' mom's house for dinner and some women came by off the street. We had dinner outside because I am alergic to the cats.

The women stayed for several hours. We were really drunk and decided to add her to the internet so that everyone could share in the enjoyment.

I am using ffmpeg :::link::: to dynamically convert mp4s with amr audio from my phone to flv video with mp3 sound when they when are published to my journal. I know the player sucks. The problem is that ffmpeg doesn't write the metadata that the seek feature is relying on. I have some work arounds in store as well as some pretty fancy new stuff in the works.
zobar - 06/01/06 15:41
wow, magic lists. Hey, (e:paul) - is that an mp4 embedded in flash? or recompressed to flv?
