I am so sorry for not keeping my promise to update. I have no good excuses. I'll try to make up for it with a big one.
So this is my tour of Rochester. I've developed a really strange appreciation for architecture. Houses, buildings, it doesn't really matter. Rochester is full of strange and pretty buildings.
So i didnt edit any of these architecture pictures. It was an incredibly foggy day and it made for some neat effects.
This is the Xerox Tower btw. I've never loved a building the way i love this building. I want to jump off of it and die just so that i can haunt it. It deserves a ghost. It really does.
This is just to establish to fogginess. I had planning to take these pictures for weeks, so when i set out to take them finally and saw how foggy it was i was immediately discouraged. But i think they turned out better for it.
I just like the little building on top of the bigger one. It's not so much that i like it as much as it makes me wonder how it was designed and what kind of reaction it received when the designer proposed it to the money people.
This building is practically a cone. I think if you jumped off the top your suicide would be stymied by a gentle (possibly life-affirming) slide to the base.
I don't really like this picture but it was too much work to take to not use now. Todd and i had to venture into some sort of retail building to take it. Passing the crackheads and into the vestibule we were suddenly ASSAULTED by the loudest speakers ive ever heard in public blasting "The Messiah". And only in the vestibule, you could hardly hear it outside or inside the building, only passing inbetween. Words can not describe how dissorienting it was. When we finally reached the top there was a repair man fixing the escalator. He asked us if we were there for the convention. We told him no and asked for directions to the bank. Now it drives me crazy wondering what convention he was talking about and what would have happened if we played along. The place was a dump and borderline abandoned, what convention could there possibly be?
It's like Tokyo but with a tiny Canadian flag.
This building looks futuristic, but only if it were from a movie where the future looks like the past. You know what i mean. I'm not crazy.
A tribute to a Diety or the secret headquarters of the J.L.A?
Obviously inspired by a PS2.
The walk we went on took hours but we didn't really go all that far from home. The second picture is taken from right where i live.
So this is the Todd and the Leasha (from left to right)..... yeah, i know.
Leaha and Momo on xmas morning.
The Morrigan, Momo, Mozilla, Mo, Mor.
If she's being quiet she is probbably into something. This time it was the nail polish.
These pictures are all from when we had just moved in. We've gotten a lot of new furniture and have re-arranged a lot since then. These pictures have just been sitting in my camera this whole time. The presentation will start in my room and work it's way down. I've provided you with a map just in case.
My room. I've since upgraded to a real matress. In AZ i slept on the floor for 8 months, in NY i only did for 3.
The very worst thing about my camera is that even when it does take blurry pictures the LCD screen makes them look clear. And then i upload them and.... yeah.
I realize that Zorak looks dead in some of these but i assure you he is alive and most likely spraying something with his urine/scent as we speak.
Given the chance i'd do the same to you same to you. Complete with pictures. It's just the kind of person i am. So be warned if you are a deep sleeper.
I have the hair of an out-of-work newscaster from the early 70's. I'm going to call around and maybe make an appointment for a contact lens fitting today. After i get them i'm going to cut most of my hair off. It will grow back.
Recent book purchases.
So for Xmas i recieved:
Cash from my mom.
1 Cranium gameset
1 Ugly Doll
Cinko is the Uglydoll of the deep. Keep him away from water though…he can't swim! Cinko is a little opinionated, but has a funny sense of humor. He likes to waddle around and stick his tongue out at everything and everyone. Because this is not polite for people to do Cinko makes the perfect pal! Instead of sticking your tongue out at folks, just hold up Cinko and let him do it for you! Cinko looks up to his older brother, Target, and follows him around wherever he goes. If you tape a red button to your forehead, Cinko will follow you too!
Gifts given;
Todd got an N64, a wireless xbox controller and something i cant remember.
Leasha got Katamari Damacy for PS2 and a WoW strategy guide.
Momo got got everything wrapped in green.
Todd's grandma got him this hat. Just in case he wants to rob a bank while ski-ing.
I made this cake for my birthday (Friday the 13th) and i left it in the oven so the cat wouldn't get it. Leasha didn't check the oven before firing it up melted all the frosting off though.
Grandma took us to the Gore Mountains in the Andirondac Mountain range in September. A few days later that boat full of old people capsised and they all drowned. Also when i drove across the country Hurricane Katrina did it's stuff so maybe for the good of us all i'll stop traveling.
Pickerel... so now you know.
Wait for this one,
Wait for this to pass,
Wait one more fucking day!
When I'm gone, you'll always remember, the ignored affection,
With your back to the back of all that's safe!!
You know, we ran, we fell, rebuild what we had!
