Voting With Lilho

(e:terry), (e:lilho) and I went out to vote at 8:30PM. I got out of work then and she graduated! Now granted that is late but it was the only chance we got to schedule it together. When we got to the Lafayette High School they told (e:lilho) she couldn't vote there because she wasn't a resident of their district. She asked them for a paper ballot and they told her it wasn't allowed and that she would have to call the hotline to find out where to vote. If she was someone without a cell phone or car, she would have been denied her right to vote. The nice lady at the Larken house said the people at Lafayette were just too lazy. I think the woman in red is a fucking bitch. I remember her having an attitude at the presidential election too.

So after (e:terry) and I voted we had to ship her off to her voting station at the Larken house. It is so much crappier inside than I expected. Apparently, it is some sort of school now. Anyhow, they let her vote as the last person in Buffalo I think, but they told her that the Lafayette people should have just given her a paper ballot which she had asked for, it was her right. That makes me totally crazy.

Poor judy, all by herself way in the right bottom corner.

The light fixture was nice. It made a great light painting.

When we dropped (e:lilho) off I told a picture of the Nails sign under her apartment to make a light painting with, but the real thing was just as cool, so here it is.

Voting for Judy

[size=m]Voting for Judy[/size]
I am going to vote for Judy tonight. As always I am going to vote for who I believe in rather than against the person I want least. I remember when I was a kid that my parents would never tell me who they voted for. Somehow that confused me and lead me to become a staunch republican as a child. I had no idea what it meant. I just liked the elephant tie clip someone got me and I was mesmerized by Ronald Reagan. As an adult, I know my parents were/are not republicans.

Paul's Taxi Service

I spent the day as a Taxi for (e:lilho) and and (e:terry). It gave me an excuse to spend the day borders surfing through math and computer books. I ended up spending another $90 on computer books. Some more javascript - I think I may know it all now, a ruby on rails book, and a trigonometry book just for fun.

I felt like sucj an idiot in the math section because before I found the remedial books I was in the math theory section and I could not understand anything. Math is my weak point. Not because I am not capable but because I never tried.

I drove a lot, the clouds were beautiful

Goodleberg

We went to (MAP TO: GOODLEBERG) goodleberg cemetary [inlink]matthew,665[/inlink] to visit the dead children. It was much smaller than I expected it to be. Maybe we didn't see the whole thing. It was very stormy out. In fact the ghost children saved our lives by stalling us an extra minute while a giant tree fell in the path the car would have taken.

Sorry Mike

(e:mike), I am so sorry I had no idea that you had to drive (e:ladycroft) to Hamburg or I would have never volunteered you as you had to work at 8am. I thought she just had to get back to Canisius - I guess I didn't pay enough attention to the situation.

Painting With Light

I decided to take advantage of the slow shutter speed on my phone and captured some nice paintings of evening in the City. It is exciting to strip a picture of its meaning.

My dream Automobile

So I have been thinking a lot about how I don't need 3,000 lbs of steel to propel my less than 200 body to work only about 10 blocks away. It's actually totally ridiculous seeing as I could get there on way less energy. I want an elecrtic mini car contraption thing. Toyota is coming out with these i-unit mobile things. I want to build one. I think it may turn into a hobby.

Forest Lawn Cemetary With Matt and Katie

I went over to Forest Lawn Cemetery with (e:Matthew) so he could take pictures for his journal [inlink]matthew,662[/inlink]. While we were there Katie found us at the Lake.

I cannot believe how many pictures my phones holds. At 640x480 resolution, it can hold 11666 pics. At 1152x768 it can hold 2,400 pics. That seems amazing and the quality is not too shabby. I still am ready to trad eit in for one with a keyboard. Maybe not trade but I wouldn't mind having a second phone with a keyboard. I could just share one account.

This person is from Maine but they love Buffalo. I thought that it was a nice shoutout for our home city.

A lot of the trip looked like this because I kept driving to new places to chase the sun.

New Job

So as some of you probably remember I was so stressed out when I found out that Erik, the new Prof at Canisius, did not have his MFA, something that I was told was a pre-requisite for the job and I spent tens of thousands of dollars and 3 years working non-stop on at their request. When he told me he didn't have one, I was seriously blown away as it seems like every school in the country expects an MFA for any art teacher. Either an MFA or a PHD. I guess Canisius doesn't have very high education standards, they care more about business. I suppose that should have been obvious considering the blunder with Mr. Wolfe a couple years back. He seriously had no idea what he was talking about. THere was even a point when students filed a petition to have him removed.

The final straw was at the faculty meeting last week when the new fantasy full time lab director position got pushed back from spring 2006 to fall 2006. It really made me lose hope. I mean I gave them five years of my all and I just wanted a full-time job with health insurance. Considering that education cost about ~30,000 a year for full tuition/dorm students I can't believe that they are too poor.

Reading my journal about the sadness concerning the sitution [inlink]paul,3909[/inlink] prompted (e:nicholas) to bring me a newpaper clipping with jobs [inlink]paul,3910[/inlink] , which lead to the interview, which lead to the job. Thank you nick, you will have a special place in my world forever.

So this is the message I was talking about getting last night on my previous entry [inlink]paul,3959[/inlink].

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::



I barely slept last night because it was all I could think about. When I woke up at 9am, which I better get used to fast, I called and found out I did in fact get the job. I am so excited because the job itself sounds really fun, not to mention that it pays really well and includes health insurance, which everyone knows was my pre-requisite for a job.

Thanks (e:ajay) and George Johnson for writing me recommendation letter although (e:ajay), yours never arrived according to Roswell.

Now (e:strip) and rememberbuffalo can finally have there own server!
