I gto an aemrgency call from (e:Terry) that his bike tire had popped while he was at the harbor. It was packed. There were literally no parking spots.



While I was there I saw ther replica of the nina - one of Christopher Columbus' ships. It was about the size of a large SUV. I hope that it was a not to scale replica. If it was to scale, I don't understand where the hell they slept. There is no way I would cross the Atlantic in that ship.



This is the kind of bike I wouldn't want to pop a tire on.

So I called the seller and explained that our landlord wanted us out by August 1st so that she could rent to students and that for that reason we want to stick as close as possible to the July 11th closing date. Luckily, he was goingg to look at a house today that he was going to put a deposit down on so it all might work out.

We really need to get in there before July is up. It is a long journey to destroy the dander.

Well, I am not surprised but my design got nixed. At first the person I talked to was thrilled but then they changed their mind because it would not be branded with the rest of their site - intentionally. Mind you this is a website on a promotional CD-ROM. Thank god for CSS, its only changing a stylesheet to switch designs.

Still think their idea is great, everyone should order cards from them this holiday season.

My final design.


Their final design.

The guy we are buying the house from informed us he has not found a place to live yet. What the fuck? He sigend a ocntract that we would clos eon July 1tth. If he didn't think that was psosible why didn't he negotiate before signing. The mortgage will be ready, the homeowners insurance is ready, we gave our 30day notice to our landlord and the stupid seller can't get his act together.

This is a windowsill in a bedroom



It's so annoying to me. I am getting very nervous about the situation because they are serious cat scummers and I need time beofre I can even live in the house. There house is coated in cat hair in the nastiest way you could imagine. It is necessary that I have plenty of time to clean it out during the warm months when the windows can be open. When measuring the other day at the house, I opened up a furnace vent and found a cat hair matt the size of about a basket ball. Everything is sick and disgusting liek that. The whole house has that nasty cat amonia smell. NOw I know you all know how much I hate cats, but even for a cat lover this house is pushing it.

The other thing is that these people have so much freakin stuff, that even if they find a place and move, it is going to take forever. This is really bad because I cannot live there while any of there stuff is there. I don't want them to leave anything. Not even a doormat. They simply have to go and all their crap too.

I mean who keeps a filthy litter box in the fucking dining room. It pretty much smells like the cats just piss on the rugs.

I though we would have plenty of summer time to tear out all the carpets and clean but now he is taking his time as the contract said the closing date is July 11th. Then he made it sound like he might be ready in september or something. I am so freakin angry about this right now.

He also took an old sink that matched the house and replaced it with a new modern one. He had to do it for his ailing mother who lives there but he made it sound like he was gonna tak ethe original sink with him. The laywer said he can't do that.

On another note, what is up with the weather today. It was basically snowing with hail, followed by sunny sky. I heard in Cheektowaga there was a tornado, it even flipped a truck



Hail

I also have a cyst in my arm that hurts. I think I am falling apart.

Visitors to a major science exhibition are to help teach computers how to read confusion, mirth and other expressions. It is hoped that this will lead to the development of ways to help people with autism recognise emotions.

The thousands of visitors to next week's Royal Society summer science exhibition are being invited to take part in research with "emotionally aware" computers designed to mind-read by analysing facial expressions.

and then the truthful part ...

The developers hope that one day smart adverts based on their technology will be able to tell when passers-by look glum and try to sell them something cheering, from an anti-depressant to a holiday.

I hate shit like that

On a totally separate note, how bad was it in the 50-80s on Deleware and Linwood that so many mansions got replaced by really ugly high rise buildings?

It's so weird. It goes mansion, mansion, mansion, super freakin; ugly sky rise, mansion, mansion, mansion. This one is pretty ugly on Deleware but the worst ones are those teal, florida style ones near Canisius High School.
