CHECK This, son's and daughters of the video revolution:

PROJECT SNAKE on Amazon! Who wouldn't want a copy in their stocking? It's a shame they don't have any copies in their inventory yet to ship in 2-3 days rather than 4-6 weeks.

Get someone a gift card, so they can buy it!

Birthday Par-Tay invite

Wed, 08 Nov 2006 23:29:04 GMT

What better way to break a four month posting hiatus than to invite all my friends to bask in the celestial glory that is MY BIRTHDAY.
And what better way to celebrate the birth of your lord than scaling a treacherous wall in an attempt to reach the same heavenly altitude as ME, your Lord.

Therefore, deliver your tribute at the Niagara Climbing Center during a Mass Prayer on Saturday, November 11th, at 6 pm.
Tribute is $10 admittance to the Climbing Center.

Follow I-90 to I-290 West. Exit Niagara Falls Blvd. (Rt. 62 North) exit #3. Travel North 4 miles. Turn left at Erie Avenue (Rt. 425 South). Take immediate left onto Strad Avenue. Niagara Climbing Center is located directly behind Tim Horton's.

If you are too meek, or just not penitent or wealthy enough to worship (ME), then feel free to shower your tribute at My House in Batavia later that evening. Crash space is available. And so is Guitar Hero 2.

Email or respond here....NOW!

Hey, who wants to go camping? Nothing deep woods; state park kinda stuff. Lots of hiking to be had, but showers and bathrooms somewhere close. Thinking either Letchworth or Watkins Glen, The weekend before July 4th. This would be the 30th, 1st, 2nd and leave on the 3rd.

You must go. Your spirit guide demands it!

And if that weekend is a no-go for most people, I will gladly switch to the following weekend of the 7th, 8th, 9th.

Every now and then

Sun, 14 May 2006 11:40:32 GMT

Leave a comment and:

1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
4. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
5. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
6. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
7. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal.

Moving Away

Wed, 03 May 2006 04:35:38 GMT

In a couple weekends I'm going on a roadtrip (read: adventure with liz) across New York state in order to evaluate places to live. Yes, I'm leaving Fredonia after nearly 8 years and headed to beautiful Location X.

The question is, where?

I'm looking for another teaching job within 25 miles of a nice town SOMEWHERE in NY. Any suggestions?

Something happened between the last post and this - don't know when. In the end, when you grow to not like yourself, it's time for a change.

And a revalutation of one's self.

Therefore, time for MEME hounding!

It's Febtober

Tue, 04 Oct 2005 15:44:34 GMT

So between these last two posts, I....

- Got back from the Convention
- Ate a few dozen sandwiches (not all at once)
- Have been taking a bunch of grad classes that are not worth the time
- Saw Sky High twice rather than see a better movie once (though it wasn't too bad in its own right)
- Ate some more sandwiches
- Gave two presentations about nothing I give a lick about
- Made a bootleg of RFK Jr.'s inflammatory speech at Fredonia
- Had an Alumni Improv Show - with Improv Shirts!
- Had a great piece of apple pie at Hook and Ladder
- Got a Dreamcast
- Played way too much Timesplitters 2
- Left Serenity being sad it was over
- Wrote this entry
- Drank some O.J.

There's more, but I have forgotten the highlights and was left with the stuff above

Sun, 28 Aug 2005 03:04:00 GMT

So yeah, Still in Virginia/DC but have a little web access thanks to good buddy Erik. Long stories about trouble getting into the Convention Center in DC - appropriately troublesome for a town where ironically a large portion of the population is arab.

Good news in the making contacts for x-strike, though. yahoo us

Brothers Grimm a bad movie? Forsaker!

Thu, 25 Aug 2005 16:15:31 GMT

First, here is the delightfully selfserving meme. Check it out.

The Random Question Meme!

An array of completely random questions about my friends!

Is julialynn a morning person or a night person?: Too full of bubbles to be a night person, too cranky to be a morning person. She's a nooner.
samwise03 is in a maze of twisty passages, all alike. What now?: He'd act like he found the way out, and the maze would be convinced enough to let him out.
What will domainmaster be like in twenty years?: Twenty years older.
When's the last time you saw fontia?: Over a year ago, in person.
How long have you known riotlounge?: Fer about 3 years.
What do you find admirable about mtcrunch23?: She is fantastically talented in the musically department.
Is mackless best described as a badger, a mushroom, or a snake?: Badger.
What do you most envy about jennyjade?: Her head doesn't work sequentially - it blows my mind.
Would wopmasterflash be better described as a hero or a villian?: Well, villains are cooler, so he would totally be a sidekick. But the kind that beats the villain while the hero gets the girl.
Shouldn't bluedevyl be getting more sleep?: If he was, I wouldn't call his a happy marraige.
Is micampanita an innie or an outie?: I don't know. She's "out" of town, at least.
Who would win in a fight between flashpoint_273k and jesusfuck?: Jesusfuck because, well, he's already fucked the son of god. And because flashpoint_273k doesn't have Grand Slam technique.
What would your life be like if you had never met nikvoodoo?: Improv those few years would have been a lot less interesting.
How will ilanajoy die?: She'll drown in a vat of chocolate syrup while trying to save her rats from the same fate. Like momma like...rat.
How would raramusic survive on a desert island?: She'd sing and all the birds would come and land on her like in a Disney film - and then she'd eat them.

Do you feel enlightened now?

Secondly, about the camping trip next week. Since there are many different levels of camping, let me describe this one as NOT LACKING HYGIENE. There are public restrooms and showers availale on the grounds, as well as a convenience store somewhere (so the site says) for those campers in RV's that forgot toilet paper.

This is a park I had to reserve a spot for. It's not a plot of land in the middle of nowhere. So far, there is me, Liz, and Ben (for indeterminate time, because he will come around work schedule). It's fun! Come!

Going Camping at last

Wed, 24 Aug 2005 02:36:14 GMT

Here it is. School is back, good for it. Now it's on to the important things:

I have a campsite reserved in Four Mile Creek park near Niagara falls from September 1st til the 4th.

Camping, as everyone knows, is awesome. Especially with friends. ERGO, if you would like to come, I have transportation available for going out Thursday. If you can't come the whole time, but still want to go (ie - you have classes Friday you don't want to skip) then transportation can still be arranged.

As far as supplies, I have a huge tent capable of sleeping about 9 people comfortably. This is fine because I only reserved space for 4 people at the site, anyway.

Who wants in!??!?!?

Something Impromptu

Fri, 05 Aug 2005 16:36:45 GMT

So waiting around for the Apple store to open yesterday morning I was wandering around Dick's and found some much needed camping supplies. Now I urge to use them.

Who wants to go camping sometime during next week? Probably either at Letchworth or Allegheny; wherever I can get a spot. I'd like to go for at least one night.

SPEAK!

That's what I say about our current living GARBAGE.
The quick story is that there is a lady down the street whose name shall remain "Holly" that has it in for Lowell, our precious landlord. She works for the county in some capacity, and with all the code enforcement that is going on in the area recently she thought it would be a good time to FUCK us.

Mighty surge protectors for the media behemoth, for the computer, and for our too many occupants.

Oh yeah. TOO MANY OCCUPANTS!! The house is zoned so that two unrelated people can live there. With Darrin, we have two and a half to three. Therefore, one of us has to be evicted - now Lowell has offered up another apartment on Day street as compensense, but really....

Surgeprotectors, no more fires in the back yard, less cars in the driveway, wooden railings for TWO steps, no tents, no more of those "really loud parties," no more college parties, more surge protectors plugged in to surge protectors, less towels, more can drives, less neighbors, and absolutely no talking past 6 AM.

Yeah, there will be death.

Who's your daddy, Vol. 5

Sat, 23 Apr 2005 20:08:48 GMT

About a year ago holidays were announced for people whose character goes too often unnoticed - and with the recent LJ meme of "post your name and I'll compliment you" going around, I thought I would bring it back.

When I think underappreciated, I immediately think Ben Lathan. Ben seems too often the sturdy tree admist the apocolypse that is the world of post graduation-poverty. His understated humor is witty, and his good nature keeps it from being derogatory.
For the last few weeks, Ben has been working tirelessly to complete the Silent Horror DVD - all for the love of a craft. From Ben I have learned that industry and humor are keys to getting what you want. He works two jobs, spends hours editing DVD material, and still has time to take his girlfriend out to dinner.

So for these reasons and more, I salute you, Ben Lathan, and declare today, April 23rd, as Ben Lathan Day.
If you see him about this Ben Lathan Day, or any time after, wish him well - he deserves it.

So that was a big help.

Thu, 07 Apr 2005 22:20:44 GMT

So today I spent 10 dollars to take a suite of tests to determine things like:

My IQ
My "personality profile"
My "something that sounded like 'talents test'" for use in determining an appropriate career.

Well, the results of the last one were certainly not encouraging.. It was supposed to tell me what aptitudes I had and how they fit into different carreers, etc etc so that I could work in a field suited to me. It ranked the aptitudes by how many I got right, and in case of a tie, by the difficulty of the section.
All it ended up doing was proving to me that there is a good reason why I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.... or find out what that is at all.

Hey hey, ho ho, this ______ party's got to go. (fill in the blank with your own "thing you want gone.")

Hmm. Murder Mystery in 2 weeks. Vacation in 2 weeks!

Tick says it all.

Irreverency abounds at Southwestern as I care less and less as June comes.
A direct relationship exists between irreverency and irrelevancy, it seems.

Ever wonder why things are designed the way they are? doors, for instance. Why must you twist a knob to open them - I imagine its because it is not a standard action while moving forward to make a "twisting" motion with your hands and so you are very unlikely to accidentally open a door.

There is some more irrelevancy for you.

Buy Silent Horror and RCR.
