so my day consisted of going to see bct with jerry. we went the back way, attempted the window drop, as opposed to 2nd floor entrance. once out the window, i realized it might not be as easy as i had thought to get back in. but we didn’t worry about that hurdle til we came to it. it was a good afternoon. shitty clouds and rain became bright sunshine, so got 2 rolls of film (i could have taken more. i’m stupid, i don’t know why i never go out prepared) of hopefully nice pictures. there was a slight problem with way too many people being around. a semi truck, a dump truck, and a mail man were parked on the street. then a red pick up went by where we were parked, the guy got out, then left. another semi pulled in and turned around, and afterwards a few more cars drove by where we were parked, a guy on foot showed up then left, and then a bunch of people on what seemed like some sort of exercise tour, kept coming by.

getting back in the window. yeah that was a bit of a problem. the drop was bigger than anticipated, and the space between the ground, and the small ledge, left too big of a space between the ledge and the window sil. somehow he managed to get a foot hold on some brick and got up. i made my 2nd attempt, and thank god for long legs. i was able to get up without much help. ended up sitting in bct’s parking lot for about an hour talking – about geneseo and stuff. it was cool. took my film to get processed.

in other news, my mom was all pissy that i hadn’t told her about ozzy fest, as she called it, and showing my photos at the terminal fund raiser. um hello you were gone all weekend in quebec, and all this just happened. how do you expect me to tell you when you aren’t even home. whatever.

and in other news, leighanne and i are seriously tackling the preperations and stuff for the art show at the terminal in the spring. trying to get things tacked down and official, so we can present a plan to russell by sept 1st. we have a list of things to decide on, and everything. and russell gave me the big green light for the terminal website, said my ideas were really great, and to contact the former web guy he had to get the info russell had given him a while back. so hopefully i can get that up soon. i’ve got the site already done, just need the info for it.

i guess i’m having nachos for dinner again, cuz i dont have time or ambition to prepare anything else. sooo healthy.

and the coconut juice bars i bought at aldis are beyond tasty. i’m going to have to stock up on them. yumyum.

another weekend at central terminal. nothing all that new to report about things actually seen. but good news about other things. first off, i’m pissed as hell at my stupid piece of shit pentax camera. 2.5 wasted rolls because the fucker won’t advance. first roll, i took maybe 10 pics, and it wouldn’t advance anymore cuz it was jammed. had to open it up, expose all those frames, start over again. that roll did finish and rewound, but i still only have half a roll. 2nd roll…never advanced. i was on picture 35 and it wasn’t stopping. stupid piece of shit. tried again with my last color roll, i really thought it was working that time. nope…and they had all my puddle pictures on it (there were nice pools of water inside with awesome reflections – took some on adr’s digi cam since my film wasn’t going to turn out). pissed. throwing that camera out. i think i might try to go back tuesday afternoon, see if i can get some puddle pictures. but we’ll see.

the good stuff. i got to talk to russel about all the things he doesn’t answer me about in email lol. the film reels. i showed him the one i took, and he seemed interested in where i found them. i said i wanted to bring the sign out to him cuz he needs to keep it before someone takes it. so i brought that out and he loved that. and i convinced him to let me do the official website. score!! while talking about doing the website, this lady over heard that i did web design, so she wants to talk to me about doing a site for her at realbuffalo.com (i think). about the real buffalo, that isn’t all snow and crime. so that’ll be really cool, and really good for me – having 2 major sites in my portfolio.

perhaps the best news, other than the website, is that russell is totally cool with doing an art show inside in the spring. he said we (brian and i) could even show/sell some of our photos of the terminal at the fundraiser on sept 20th. so i gotta figure out what ones i want printed to show, and where i can take them to mount them, and find out how we’re gonna show them. yay.

and we met jerry in person. he’s a cool guy. maybe some of his pictures turned out since mine DIDN’T lol. arg. still pissed.

gah. went to the club again. there was a band playing so there were lots more people there this time. the band was way too loud for such a small place. escaped upstairs with tony for a bit to play pool, then the band was done so went back down. it’s so great being a girl cuz i don’t have to buy myself drinks. other people buy them for me haha. it was sorta interesting. brendan is cooking me dinner on wednesday. yeah. i’m not too sure how i feel about that. but whatever. it was sorta funny cuz brendan’s uncle saw me talking to him all night, and he was like “don’t go breaking tony’s heart” ROFLMAO. i’m like yeah i’m so sure about that considering tony HAS a girlfriend and it’s not me haha.

so i went to bed sometime between 8 and 9, and got up at 4:30. i have to go to work in 2 hours. this is super

 

listening to “all that you can’t leave behind” because they played “kite” at the bar this morning, so i got the urge to listen. i was only going to listen until “kite” cuz i don’t like the rest of the cd, but i let it play on. god it’s such a boring cd…after “kite” that is. the first 5 tracks are good. the rest……how did the critics think this was u2’s 3rd masterpiece album. it’s boooooring. i’ll take “pop” over this anyday, and i only like half of “pop” too haha. this cd big time reminds me of sept 11th and that whole time period…i don’t think i’ve really listened to this or “joshua tree” since senior year. ok yeah. “peace on earth” this has gotta go. *eject* well i like “new york”, but i prefer the post sept 11th rewrite of it. fishy, maybe you know, did they release a real recording of the new lyrics on any single or anything? cuz it’s better than the first, album version.

Manson’s Six Flags Mis-Adventure
Thu Aug 7, 5:00 PM ET
By Lia Haberman

Six Flags theme park aims to thrill–to a certain point.

The amusement park has banned controversial rocker Marilyn Manson from performing at Six Flags Darien Lake on August 11 when the 2003 Ozzfest tour rolls into town, claiming his act is inappropriate for the venue.

(Shhh. Don’t tell ’em about Ozzy’s satanic past–maybe they missed the bat-chomping story?)

The shock-rocker, whose latest album, The Golden Age of Grotesque, debuted at number one in May, is considered one of the bill’s headliners, alongside the likes of Korn, Ozzy Osbourne and Voivod.

So far, Darien Lake, in upstate New York, is the only venue on the 30-city tour to nix Manson’s performance.

“Contractual agreement gives us the right to restrict artists from performing in our concert venue,” said a statement from Six Flags. “We decided to pass on the Marilyn Manson performance.”

Objections to the “Dope Show” singer’s presence are nothing new. Manson’s twisted stage shows have consistently been condemned by religious and conservative types. He was banned from performing in at least three states on Ozzfest ’97, and Courtney Love (news) ditched their joint 1999 tour midway through, dubbing his act “evil.”

Manson’s response to the local Buffalo News: “Marilyn Manson is simply too dangerous for Darien Lake.

Calls to his publicist were not returned while a message on Ozzfest’s official Website notes simply that Manson won’t be playing the Monday show outside of Buffalo.

 

 

another 8 rolls of film are online on institutional green. i have about 200 of the terminal now…it’s sorta insane. i’m definitely limiting myself on sunday. only taking my 2 remaining rolls to use with the pentax…well…maybe 3 if my new film order arrives in the mail before then. haha. but it probably won’t.

on july 2nd, i published a post where i said that metallica’s song “st anger” sucks. i’m still getting comments on it. from people saying that metallica sucks. long comments sometimes too. i’m hit #2 on google for “st anger sucks” ROFL. i guess that explains it.

anyway. left work early, since i have 6 days this week. i’ll have 6 hours overtime. nice big check to pay for everything i keep buying. and my fine that i get at court tomorrow. that’s gonna be fun.

apparently river road has been dubbed the “north tonawanda pow-mia memorial highway”. the sign says so. and what the hell is gander mountain? it’s inside the old ames on young street in tonawanda. i don’t get out much anymore. i don’t know what all this new fangled stuff is

 

what to say about court. well guess what… i got lost. but is anyone really surprised by that anymore? it’s because lockport road is the stupidest road ever. it splits off into lockport and porter, but with no signs telling you which one is which. and it turns into porter so much smoother than continuing on lockport that i just kept going and ended up realizing i was now on porter. fuck. the only good thing about me getting lost, is i generally sorta know where i am. enough to find where i want to go. so i went down some residential streets, and wound up on lockport again, and got to town hall.

2 hours later, i get 2 loud mufflers, 125$ fine, no points, no school. good thing i found 200$ today.

it was sorta comical tho. there were 2 black girls from the county jail arrested for shoplifting – hand cuffs attached to waist chain, and ankle cuffs. then there were 2 white girls, not from jail, with their father, who were in trouble for shoplifting….interesting. the white girls stole like 6$ worth of stuff from walmart. haha how lame. now they face a 1000$ fine for 6$ of something. then you could hear the judge telling everyone what their crime was – passing a red arrow on military. ha. i’m surprised i didn’t get school though. but good, cuz i didn’t want to have to go. oh the other comical thing is that they seriously would not let you in if you were wearing shorts or tank tops or halter tops. it said right on the summons letter to dress appropriately, and the things that weren’t allowed. but people still wore mini skirts, etc, and had to go home and change before being let in hahaha. retards.

so anyway. eric is coming over cuz he’s bored, and brian might come over later. tomorrow i gotta grocery shop some, laundry, and scan my negs.

working 6 days this week now. fine with me. off thurs, working the rest of the time. i’m 7-3 tomorrow so there will be no picking up the film tomorrow. not like it matters.

i hate people who don’t tip.

i really need to do some laundry. oh well.

i have nothing usefull to say.

 

so i went and did my street team assignment for Diary. Took the poster out to the falls and taped it to the railing, took a pic with the falls as a backdrop. it was hard cuz it was windy. sent it into doubleday to enter the contest. not expecting to win, but whatever. i wonder what all the tourists thought of the looney girl hanging a poster on railings, taking pics, and moving on to tape it someplace else haha. oh well.

my film scanner arrives tomorrow. i got the ups email saying so. so i guess i can’t leave my house tomorrow til it arrives. unlike the last ups package from fishy that took 3 tries to arrive haha. i also bought a 100 pack of negative sleeves since i got the 25 from ebay yesterday and they are all filled. lol. need to buy a binder and go grocery shopping before court tomorrow. need to figure out something to wear too. i have no nice clothes.

i ended up cleaning before i went to bed yesterday. cleaned the bathtub, the kitchen, vaccuumed the bathroom, hall, family room, and kitchen. put all the crap laying around every where in the garbage or in the basement. so now the apt looks decent.

work sucked. i almost snapped and told off my players the last 2 hours i was there. it was awful. it’s like…you know what, you’re not saying anything new to me, when you start saying you don’t like me cuz i keep beating you. and you saying “that’s fucking ridiculous” isn’t going to make me want to pay you. and GET A CLUE, you’re in a CASINO, which makes their money from you losing yours. you’re never going to be ahead in the long run. so why don’t you just fucking go home. but i bit my tongue, and only said a few sarcastic things to them.

almost went to the bar again, but i don’t take money to work and i knew if i came home i’d stay home. tony was going to drink cuz he had another bad day. i told him to come knock on my window if he needed to crash here, but either he didn’t, or i was that dead to the world that i didn’t hear him.

i was going to go out and finish my roll of film, but now its all dark out.

my old neighbor’s friend shot himself in the head yesterday. he’s not dead. that’s really gotta suck. but he’s not going to survive. apparently he got into some big trouble at work, possibly involving pedophilia, but no one is sure. either way, he’s just about dead.

i have a ginormous bruise on my knee and i have no idea how i got it. don’t remember getting it on saturday…

 

i’ve come to the conclusion that mt eats as many of my entries as blogger did. because i posted about the purse/bag i bought at urban outfitters in toronto, but it’s gone. i was wondering why fishy hadn’t commented on it.

our mailman is a retard. i got a poster tube in the mail, from doubleday (with my chucky p “diary” street team poster). he put it in the mail box, tho it doesn’t fit, left the mailbox door open. it was torrential downpouring. all the mail is soaking wet. BRILLIANT.

i’m a try to go and use my film now. it stopped raining.

 

i find it really funny, that i never know where i’m going when i’m trying to get someplace. even when i’ve been there before, i can’t find it again – like the first few trips to bct. this time, i attempted to go to the fatima shrine in lewiston. i thought i was going the same way we went the other day to pick up adr’s wallet, but apparently not – cuz i ended up on the reservation haha. ok i work for the seneca’s, and i know natives, but the rez is really friggen scary. the bullet holes in all the street signs..doesn’t make me feel good haha. anyway, turned around, went back towards the interstate, hoping i was on the right road now, and i’d drive by. nope. i did finally manage to find it LOL. it’s nice, quiet. there were 2 small chapels in the main church i wanted to photo, but there was a lady praying in one so i figured that was a bad idea. but i used up my roll, took them in to get processed. they’ll be done tomorrow, but dunno when my scanner is supposed to arrive. hopefully by the end of the week.

someone lost a cell phone in my car. i’m going to assume it’s adrs, but who knows. i found it under the passenger seat when my film all rolled underneath.

the parents aren’t going to the tour with me sunday cuz they’re going to quebec. nice of them to let me know haha. i guess i’ll be going alone, since SOMEONE *ahembrian* prolly isn’t going, and no one else is free that day. but that’s ok. i’m gonna try out the lens brian gave me, with my remaining 2 rolls of film. someone on ebay needs to sell me another case of film. soon. haha

i’m still awake. went to The Club after work. brendan invited me, then tony did. i had no money so tony gave me 20$. i ended up coming home to change first anyway, so i got my own money. was there til 6:30 ish. got a wicked massage from brendan, and he took me out to breakfast. we went down to the royal on military and sheridan cuz he doesn’t like dennys. how can someone not like dennys lol. i just can’t fathom that . it was a good time. now its almost 10, and i need to sleep, but i really need to fucking clean this place. there’s shit everywhere and its garbage day. so everything is going in the trash.

there is an apartment for rent in our building. i want fishy to come up and get it now. lol.

oh and i might have 2 more hookups for urbex stuff. brendan has been on the abandoned ship in buffalo, volunteered to take me out if he can find a canoe. he’s the only one at work who doesn’t think i’m insane for doing all this urbex stuff. he’s been in the terminal when it was still open and stuff, things it’s cool. it all came about cuz i was showing him my bct injuries from saturday haha. then this other guy who is a photographer has hook ups through his mother, on the buffalo arts and cultural board, to get legal access to the psych center if our connection through the PR department falls through. surprising what comes out when you’re drinking haha.

tony came over after work for a few hours cuz he needed a beer. lol. that provided for a late night, and sleeping til 3:30.

i’m not sure anyone on earth has more problems with their wireless network than i do. this isn’t putting faith in the future of entire wireless networks. i’m 1 room away from the router and i can’t keep a strong signal. it’s been 50% or lower for days now. it goes higher, then immediately goes back to 50%. or it’ll be higher until you try to do something in IE, then it goes back down. hate it.

the old domain expires on august 29, so anyone who still hasnt switched their bookmarks to icenine, do it now. it’s only been a year

 

just dropped 300$ on the film scanner. burning all my shit so i can reformat. hopefully things will go smoothly. not sure when we’re gonna do the wipe, but..it’ll be before the scanner arrives.

i got to deal on the suede table today. instead of the green felt layout, it’s got green suede type stuff. it’s kinda hard to get used to at first, cuz nothing slides on it. but now it’ll be weird going back to a felt table tomorrow night. i’ll be throwin shit all over.

danielle was by tonight i guess. left me my bday gift, a gift certificate to pier 1. and paid me for ozzfest. and left me and adr a gift that adr didnt open yet. rad.

out with brian in the morning. best get some sleep.

 

just one thing: i conquered the glass walkway.

private post login required.

in other news. took me forever to get home. First it started to rain, so we left. Torrential downpour flooded the 198. everyone driving with flashers on, lots of big puddles tearing the wheel out of your hands. sucked. then traffic was backed up half way across grand island…for NO REASON. we’re talking stand still, move 10 feet at a time, traffic. get to the bridge, slow across the bridge, then nothing. no accident. no cops. nothing. i hate that.

i’m so tired. and i’m going to be so sore. and broke. cuz i’m off to buy the film scanner.

 

something is seriously wrong with my computer. it’s dead/dying. explorer is crashing on a fairly consistent basis. i think i’m gonna have to do the R word…reformat. cuz it’s just fucked. if i have a virus, i can’t fix it, cuz my old norton wont work, missing some dll file. can’t install my new norton without uninstalling the old one. and i can’t uninstall the old one, cuz it’s missing some dll. SUPER. so…gotta wait til eric tells me what i need to save etc before we start from scratch again. goddamn computer.
