We refill ink.
Category: the odes
That is good to know.

But who will refill this ink?

image

The Meadow Brook milk factory?
Walgreens?

Why would anyone want a gallon refill of ink? Wouldn't it be more helpful if they advertised, "We refill milk"?

Dennis definitely has a bigger boat.
Category: buffalo
Overheard at the height of the finale of fireworks at the Erie harbour.

First Old Man: (Jostling all the kids watching the fireworks in front of him) Do you see that? That, over there?

Second Old Man: (Elbowing his way to the first old man) Yeah, I see it. Yeah, it's smaller. It is really smaller than Dennis's boat.

First Old Man: (Completely focused on the boat in the water, fireworks are going off like crazy around him.): YEAH, Dennis definitely has a bigger boat than this one!!!

hahaha... that was hilarious, (e:metalpeter). LOL what a picture!

See that is why you need to get there early so you can see all the boats and enjoy them. I find the entire double parking triple parking in one spot 7 boats pretty interesting. The first boat attaches to that little floating walk way. Then the next boat has to attach to the first boat. So as the boat pulls up the throw the line to someone on boat one and then they tie them up. I assume that this means unless you climb onto some else boat (sounds bad allready) and then untie and then Jump back onto your boat then that same boat has to untie you. But not only that but that boat can't leave untill boat 2 leaves. Like I said think about how that must work where there are 7 boats. I think when I first got there it was 5 not sure though. Those people on the boats where living it up in the cold. One has like a grill right on the back of it. Others had stuff set up on the dock. I even saw on the permenent deck dock part we all stood on what looked like a statilite dish with a compus on it. I assume it has to point a certain way. I assume you had a great time, hope so.

Whatever, Dennis' boat is tiny compared to that one. It is all hull.

Transformed
Category: music
The new movie may not be much to write home about (quite literally, I didn't), but the soundtrack to both movies are worth writing to the world about. They are nothing short of phenomenal. Something about them is compelling and worth listening to, time and again - especially the score from the first movie.





No doubt this amazing keyboardist feels the same. He combines two of Steve Jablonsky's finest pieces from the score to the first film and transfoms them with his personal touch into one fluent passionate piece.



And a final track to illustrate just how derailed and completely baffling the second movie was...

enknot - 07/04/09 10:36
at least there was something to save from that second film. yeah, I'd listen to it before i'd ever watch it ever again...

The falcon baby that fell out!
Category: tourism
A friend sent me this picture of the falcon baby that fell out of its nest on one of the towers at University at Buffalo, last week.

Strangely, it reminds me of a puppy who has done something mischievous!

WOW what a great picture! The falcon is in that moment just before the look of I meant to do that! Thank you for sharing. Good Luck on your proposal. Keep us updated!

The falcon baby is now under expert care and doing well according to latest reports. :)

aww, thats so sad! i love animals.

Nice! Can't wait to hear your defence stories! :) Unfortunately, it's not time for my thesis defence yet. It's only a proposal "defence" (I just call it a proposal but I have heard a ton of people call it a defence - I don't think it is, though.) I am still quite a distance from the real final dissertation defence.

My dear university (UofR) believes in 130+ page proposals (with everything and the kitchen sink thrown in. Just the result-tables are not in there). At this rate, I am beginning to doubt if there will be anything left to write when I actually reach the final dissertation defence!

I am having trouble aligning my committee's schedules as well. I bet even rearranging the skies for planetary goodwill might not do the trick. ;)

Tentatively scheduled for September 4th. I wanted to have it earlier, but summer is impossible to schedule with faculty vacations and all. Hey, at least someone gets to go on vacation.

When will yours be?!

Doctors in da house!!! We should live blog simultaneous defense parties in NYC and B'lo.
tinypliny - 06/30/09 15:38
I sent my first draft in and I just have one more chapter to go (and a few references to fix). Then it's committee meetings and formal proposal time!! :) Massive good luck with yours? When is the defence?
businesscheese - 06/30/09 13:38
I want one!

How's the thesis writing going for you?
tinypliny - 06/27/09 12:51
I think they have rescued it and its in safe hands. :)
jim - 06/27/09 11:28
That is so cute! It's ok right?

An awesome memory that floated past me once more today. Peter Allen's Tenterfield Saddler.
