Estrip is DyingCategory: estrip
As you can see from this graph, Estrip activity is exponentially decreasing over time, a disaster in the making, and soon no one will be posting comments.

Paul is such a filthy pig rolling around in that porn.
Did Mike and I pose for that picture you posted of us on estrip? I like the one of us in the dining room.
I love that card I got Terry that looks like Andy Warhol. Fabulous! Your the boss applesauce!
Nice pics. I think my camera would have a hard time in those low-lighting situations because I don't use the flash (its hideous). I tend to get a blur in those situations, sometimes I like that though.

Great pictures and thanks for posting them the one of (e:lilho) is great that is one picture that I wish I would have gotten of her video chatting with someone the two of (e:paul) where you can see the picture of what he is looking at is great to. I didn't realise how big that fire got, again great pictures.

I think it's the most beautiful *and lucid* font ever. I use it for my letters and reports mainly because I know that most of my recipients (till now) are all tottering steadily toward 3+ hypermetropic visions. The font is clear enough without being ghastly and plain - like other fonts in, what I like to call, the hypermetropics category. It is somewhat annoying that M$ Windoze doesn't have Lucida Grande on it, and I needed to install an approximate LG from somewhere.
I love the way the Mac fonts and colours look and feel - but I can't seem to switch completely because of one reason or the other - the foremost being that the software I work on (SAS) is so darned hideous and I don't have a license for the Mac version (if at all, that exists). Also, why is that, places like Roswell are all ultimates slaves to the M$ Garbage? They frown upon fine browsers like Firefox, let alone pure goodness like Opera. To add insult to injury, they then insist on using the pathetic excuse for a browser called IEeeks. It's just appalling.
Phew. I needed to get that off my chest. I realize now that 75% of my comment had nothing to do with Fedex taking 13 hours to drag their truck to your doorstep. :)
As a last-line attempt to steer this ramble into course - Congratulations!

Yeah, Lucida Grande, I choose a type face that was also available for use on my site, so they'd match, otherwise I'd have done a different font.

10 Things I Hate About YouCategory: movies
I really liked that movie. Every time (e:Drew) posts I am reminded of it. You better stop, Drew, before I put it on the NetFlix queue and force (e:James) to watch it.
And I like a lot of other really dumb popular movies where people in their mid-twenties play 15 year olds. And I tend to cry easily at ridiculous movies. I am really not fit for being exposed to popular culture.
Also, I am 28. I only have another year where I could conceivably move to LA and find a job playing a teenager on a new sitcom on the WB (or CW or whatever it's called now). I better get cracking.
I should be working right now, but I felt like yesterday was Friday and that would make today Saturday.

I love that line where that kid from the 3rd rock goes something like: "One question before we talk, do you think you should be drinking when you have no liver?"
Hilarious!

Sorry to start all of this.
For the record, my favorite adults playing teens movie is Mean Girls.
I'm not really into the teen movie thing, but I had to watch it because it was writeen by Tina Fey. I will post 10 things I like about Tina Fey sometime soon.

My favorite Freddy Prinze Jr movie is [link=http://imdb.com/title/tt0192111/]Head over Heels[/link] where a beautiful girl (who dresses frumpy) moves in with 4 supermodels, and gets made over. Then, she falls in love for F.P.jr's character who may or may not be a serial killer, but she is not very concerned and keeps going out with him anyways.
Turns out he is a secret undercover agent working in the fashion world to uncover the brutal blood diamond traders, and they all team up, the main character, the supermodels, and the undercover agent, to stop the evil guys. And there is a great dane named Hamlet.

those are the best movies. Can't Hardly Wait is really the best one thoguh. don't you dare steal my 25 year old playing a 15 year old dream. When I turned 22 I really felt like I lost my chance because that is the age when the guy who played Dawson on Dawson's Creek was discovered while majoring in sociology like I was at the time. Maybe there is still a chance....

You know what? I am WWWAAAY ahead of your game. I dug up that movie and watched it already, a couple days back (for about the 7th time) - and it was *all* Drew's fault. That movie was the first thing I thought of the minute.. no, the second I saw his first "10 things" list hit the estrip list.
Yeah, and I love pop movies and start crying the minute a James Horner/John Williams soundtrack screeches out of speakers. Heck, I don't even need any plotline - I cry watching trailers with emotional soundtracks.
So now that the basic qualifications have been outlined, do you think I could get a job too? I have one more year (maybe half) more than you. heheh.
And why pretend? I have stopped working altogether.

New Business CardsCategory: work
I ordered new business cards last week. They are just like my old ones, except with my new number, and a new blue back with a dandelion instead of the old orange back with a daisy.
They should be here on Tuesday!!! I can't help but check the tracking every hour.

The cards have been on the truck for delivery since 6am - for 12 hours now! I am going to die. This is not quite as bad as when I've had to wait for delivery of a new Mac (but it's close).

I love being excited for packages like that.
and I am super jealous. i want business cards. i know I could just make my own, but I want a job that gives me some. I am always jealous of my friends who are way younger than me when they have cards. how stupid is that.

comment NOT tossed! ha james! the indian can continue crying!
i attribute it to the weekend. Just wait til everyone is back at their desks again tomorrow.
I think 50 comments a day is normal and we are just comming down from a hardcore comment binge, lol.
In a forest somewhere there is an Indian crying as the last comment is thrown out.
nono statistics do not lie! but maybe comments should be posted on MY journal? hmm yes?
Statistics do not lie - a downward spiral is undeniable unless you all act now!
ah yes, just another wayward fellow using statistical data for personal gain....
couldn't be satisfied with bronze, could you? tsk tsk
