Programming For Fun and Not For ProfiteCategory: programming
Today, I was searching for my stuff on google and found this ransom note writer I made from artvoice clippings. I made me miss the good old days of having time to program stuff for fun instead of for profit.

Ortiz brand tuna in a jarCategory: food
This ortiz brand olive oil packed tuna tastes better than any other
tuna I ever had. (e:hodown) made tuna melt bagels for breakfast yesterday
because all the bagel shops were closed. Seeing as it's $10/ jar I
don't get it very often but it's so worth it.

I didn't even notice them. I was just trying to take a picture of the tuna fish and you had to go and make it all sexual.

The new year's eve partyCategory: party
Thanks to everyone who showed up, it was a pretty crazy party - I thought - one of the best ones ever. I didn't end till the sun was up. I think there is an entire days worth of cleaning. It's also (e:hodown)'s first and last day in town. Let's see if I make it past 7pm.

Well I couldn't get pictures of it all but what I did get I think where good. On a side note I feel a little bit foolish this morning I should have asked Terry to guide me on how to help clean up. The party was pretty good, I'm sure I missed a lot of stuff since I was mostly downstairs.

What Happend To The Fairwest I appologize if someone has already written about this but I have
been pretty much out of commission all week. I finally feel okay today.
Anyways, when I walked by I noticed the fairwest building at the
corner of allen and north pearl is boarded up. That now makes a whole
block that is out of commision. Plus friends across the street. I
wonder what happened to fairwest? I hope they knock it all down and
start over. The last building connected with all the junk in the
window smells so bad in the warm weather. I called the police once
when like 10,000,000 flies were inside. I figures it meant something
was dead inside. Then someone else broke the window.
It looks so freakin ghetto now.

I think the problems with the Ellicott district lie with the store owners.
I once had a series of conversations with the owner of a store who is quite active. This was around the time when Pano's wanted to tear down that house for a fuckin' parking lot; and some big-box store wanted to move into a building near Utica(?). Anyways: this guy was all about bringing such big stores in there. He was all for tearing down the old houses and putting up Walmarts and KMarts.
The problem is: there _are_ enough of those around. The future of Ellicott district lies in specialty stores, upscale restaurants, etc. (and less bars). As a matter of fact, it is good that people have to park at a distance and walk; then they're walking by lots of other stores and make impulse buys.

And when I first noticed that building was boarded up I had a rare "I need to get out of this town" moment. If a whole block of Allen can be boarded up, what hope is there for the rest of the city? But, I am sure with some better leadership for the Ellicot district and in the mayor's office that part of Allen can turn around.

In that store window are two martini glasses with clear gelatin inside, as to give the illusion of a full cocktail at all times. The combination of libations and horrible ass hole of hell stank makes me want to throw up. When I walk past it I have to hold my breath. There is no rehabilitating that building.

OH I see. I just figured out which building this is. Slow me. It was a storefront with all sort of random old stuff, then they just took everything off the windows and heaped it up on the floor and threw other random stuff on top. It was really bizarre -- almost as if they were building a funeral pyre for someone murdered underneath. All the makings of a morbid Edgar Allan Poe- Peter Wimsy mystery.

Back to workCategory: health
At least I am not nauseus anymore. I still don't know if it was the flu or crohn's as now I kind of feel the crohn's is coming out of remission - a place I prefered it to be. I am just hoping it is instead the lingering affects of the flu. I can't wait for the next extremely stressful three days of work.
With all the fun of the weekend, I managed to lose about 6 pounds. So much for all that work at the gym. Hopefully, I am just super dehydrated and some of it will come back.
In my dream ast night, the guy, who had been trying to kill me in my dreams throughout the weekend drama, made up and he promised not to kill me. So thats good I guess.
Luckily, the playstation had this fun game to occupy my the few hours I was up.
I really like the playstation network, they have so many games you can demo or buy. I beats having to go to the store, escpecially when your car and yourself are both broken.

Can only agree with the sentiment.
