>Well I’m excited, I found a new project to work on thanks to a friend’s recommendation. I haven’t gotten the site up yet, but it’s coming, and it’s awesome. So keep your eyes peeled. Remember Worms? If you loved it as much as I — check out worms 3d. Screenshots and progressions, oops galleries show the animation bugs… very very cool, I think all game companies should do that when producing a big title. It gives you something to do while it’s in the making, you tend to see what the issues are — being patient in the meanwhile because…

>Well just waiting for an appointment with a client — so updating a bit here and there. I just got back from Home Depot and boy do I feel productive! I bought paint for my room, painting supplies, and blinds for the front of the house. We’ve had a nakked side window since we moved in… about time it’s covered. I’ve started moving things out of my room, making ready — I’ve got a few volunteers to paint and will most likely take them up on that offer 😉 Hear that?

>And now… a joke from Margaret: A rich white man in Florida decided that he wanted to throw a party and invited all of his buddies and neighbors. He also invited Leroy, the only black guy in the neighborhood. He held the party around the pool in the backyard of his mansion. Everyone was having a good time drinking, dancing, eating shrimp, oysters and BBQ and flirting with the women. At the height of the party, the host said “I have a 10 foot man-eating alligator in my pool and I’ll give a million dollars to anyone who has the…

>It took 3 long weeks — but my skin is clear of the dreaded Poiz-N-Ivvy O Deth. My foot is all scarred up, some elsewhere too — makes me wonder if it’ll heal beyond that, but I didn’t have any skin left on my foot that wasn’t covered so it was expected, though the final kick in the keister were the few that budded up on the soles of my feet – ACK. I don’t want to do that again — wasn’t fun, but I came out on top dammit! I have some good recomendations for fighting it in the…

>I came accross a well written article via Slate regarding the lack of looting and crime related issues durring the blackout in American cities. Apparently it was chaos in 1977, the last time this happened in NY. Of course it’s a different story in Toronto, Canada.

>I just got back from seeing Uptown Girls — and I was surprised. You could count the male presence on one hand, and as I was the only one of a large group of girls I felt somewhat intimidated. It was a delightful movie, they help eachother out, to understand what the other doesn’t seem to see. I enjoyed myself, laughed a lot and though there may have been parts where I looked like I was crying — it was all a ruse, if only for the record 😉 This band from the UK reminds me of her love interest…

>My friend had an interesting question today: “How long does Nicotine stay in your system?” Apparently her father decided to get life insurance, which involves her getting a full test for nicotine and various other substances. (I’m guessing he’s suspicious) I feel bad for the poor girl, she’ll probably fail quite a few of the tests, especially nicotine. It wouldn’t be the end of the world, I mean her mom knows she smokes, but she’s been lying about things like that all her life so far — keeping it a secret, mainly just from her father. Who knows what’s going…

>Well the power is coming back on, have been speaking to a lot of people in NY, Chicago, customers who want their cable now that they have their electricity working again… it’s coming, it’s coming… sheesh. Here’s some tips from the Iraqis in regards to the blackout(s). Check the Blackout Blog to see whats going on as power is restored. So how is it going in NY?

Here’s another little tidbit…

>I wrote this last night — but was stuck in lofi and actually published this for like 5 secconds :] I cut but never pasted… lost in digital purgatory. Phil: What would you call the space in-between stripes? Josh: Purgatory? I was rambling on about my current situation in regards to relationships. Danelle confuses me. She seems like she would really want me around, if Caitlin wasn’t so posessive. She also plays it the other way to Caitlin, she’s honestly under the impression that me even talking to Danielle, or calling her at odd times of the night… is completely…

>updated some stuff. tired. tomorrow is only friday – days for work wittle down to not much. I just read a lot of my new book: Travels by Michael Chrichton, non-fiction – unusual for me if he wasn’t my favorite writer. I enjoy the sense of certainty he conveys, in such a way that I know exactly what he’s talking about – be it dinosaur dna or quantum time travel. =]

>I reminded Phil he needs to be out by the 1st, this is hampering my being able to rent out his room. He’s just using me now. He gets violently angry whenever I remind him of this, that he’ll have to be out — I’ve done all I can. I’m just really sad about this whole thing. He’s done it to himself.

>I went to Radiohead last night — took the day off from work, popped in to participate in the potluck. Stuffed my belly — and off we went to the Tweeter Center. I saw Phish there 2 years ago or so, so knew the venue — it’s quite easy to get to, short of traffic to and fro. The traffic did not disappoint me either, we should have headed out earlier then we did, but never-the-less we got there just as the lights were going out for Radiohead to take the stage. We missed the first band, but don’t even…

>ATI wins XBox deal for V 2.0 I’m glad, the Gamecube had an excellent chip – lighting, shading, all top notch but to do more, they need the power behind it and Gamecube is cheapened. ATI is also really good at specialized hardware – and having a set platform to develop, very good news for ATI. You probably won’t go to hell for this, but it certainly can’t help.

> I just finished On The Road by Jack Kerouac after recently picking it back up. I haven’t really read much as of late. I’ll read when I’m either too hot to move, it’s really rainy and I make myself a little reading nest, or when I’m on the beach sunning myself. Other then that I usually can’t sit still long enough. It’s a really good one, and if you haven’t read it – I recommend it highly. It’s about a few guys who keep postponing starting their life in the real world to go have their last adventure, and…

>I was waiting around today at the dealership — car was getting fixed up, some scratches being buffed, rattles addressed. I was just watching TV for a while, then made a comment about the “windows bug” just making it to TV when they had the patch released since July. That turned out to be a conversation starter. The older man next to me agreed, and so it began… he spoke of computers, what he had, and that got in to the computers of yesteryear. It turns out he was a programmer — before COBOL, even before FORTRAN! He used to…

>The party for Heather and Jon started about 4 or so, I arrived shortly after 5 – just as the food was being prepared. I met Greg’s new girlfriend – a good of a reason as any to become Mormon, I suppose. Everyone was already getting started on the drink as well — most had rather red faces when I arrived. The food was fantastic, their parties are always amazing for that. Shortly after I arrived, there was word of a bird… in the basement. I crept down with Jon, sure enough — hiding in the corner, fluttering here and…

>Everything was chill as usual at Stefan’s. The band played for a while, at least until it got late. I had left right from work to get there in time. The keg of steel rail ale was already flowing as were the red headed sluts, but people were still getting there so all was good. A very nice evening with the usual peeps – stretched until early morning. It was a blast — and Caitlin and Danielle get the prize for best present (no one really brought anything, but they made him up a goodie back of party hats, a…

>I’m a bit more optimistic. It seems Anthony is still in possession of the laptop, or the XBox. He was last seen near RT 91/Longhill Rd in Springfield on a 10 speed with a rectangular shoulder bag. My friend saw him, attempted to follow — but lost him in traffic. He called me right after, and I in turn called the police. I spoke with the detectives’ secretary, who took down my info and said they’d call me back. The video game store that he probably sold the XBox/games @ is ActionPak on Belmont St. …and good news regarding GAP…

>Well I don’t think I got the job @ GAP — The manager said she’d be giving me a call after the 1st, she was going to bring it up at the next weeks meeting. I called today to follow up and that particular manager wasn’t there, my name didn’t even seem to ring a bell with the other manager so it’s the combination of no call, and lack of recognition that lead me to believe that I did not el scoro con el gap-o. My friend’s interview went well though, she’s going to be working at Fusion, or some…

>Why does my American Flag say “made in China”? It just doesn’t seem right. One would think that’s at least one thing we wouldn’t have to import.

>I’m back to burning rage mode. .:sigh:. I went home on lunch, just to check the place out — of course I left my house keys inside. So I could only walk around outside. I examined the window, found a stool on the side of the house… it had been dragged from the back yard to the point of entry. The screen’s locks were broken at the bottom, metal brace pulled away and the lock popped. I feel like anything could happen now… at any time. I’m upset that I can’t allow a breeze to flow through durring the day…
