martin, biggie congrats on accepting the noble profession of high school physics professor! i'll never forget my (and jeremy's) high school physics prof. his name was mr. hoffman. he looked like a member of zz-top, appeared really skinny from behind, fat as hell from the front, and every test involved the annoying matt smith's falling zillions of feet with varying initial velocities and horizontal components. matt would had the habit of yelling "sex" and "cheese" all the time. i did close to nothing but play hp48 games in the back of that class. and watch mr. hoffman eat pizza remains from his 4 foot beard.
where is harrison high school? man, 31k seems like fat stacks to me.
jeremy, as for the post-graduation binge - you are sorta correct. following graduation, i forgot to start the period of slack that i had hoped for and instead threw myself immediatley into the wonderwindow project (wonderwindow.com). i was asked to do the lighting design and budget in preparation for a crucial meeting with the main atlantic station developers last thursday. greg had not received any "in kind" donations or art grant money as originally hoped leaving us in the tough situation of asking atlantic station to fund the project. so, i spent all of last week frantically learning about theatre lighting and its huge industry of dimmer racks, connector converters, power requirements, lighting fixtures, and DMX protocol shite. after a couple days of web binging, i realized i still knew nothing and was completely incapable of preparing a proper and accurate (within a few thousand dollars) budget for such a massive project. so, i started calling atlanta's finest theatre lighting rental houses and played dumb college student with zillions of questions. meanwhile, greg and his whole family came down with the flu which i am currently trying to beat down at home in jacksonville before starting the grand journey to texas and then boston and back. at any rate, greg and i lucked out when the developers postponed the meeting from thursday to friday, leaving the entire thursday for visiting and info-sucking these lighting houses. so that's what we did. we managed to wow and psyche these guys with our pretty animations and blinkenlights videos enough to get them to prepare proposals / cost estimates that afternoon. around midnight on thursday, they started rolling in with the first at .75 million bucks - FUCK! how on earth was greg going to show up at 9am and ask for that kinda throwdown!? well, greg worked his magic and was able to capture the enthusiasm of the developers enough to get them to arrange some meetings with big shots in new york who will hopefully throw some money at us. so that's the state of the world in that department. we're no longer planning to launch on valentine's day (and certainly not new year's eve as originally intended) but are now focusing on may 26, memorial day. anyhow, i guess you could say i binged in a sense and, as a result, caught the flu and have been bed-ridden since friday night.
jeremy, your tried and true method of sleeeeeeeeeeepppp sleeeeeeeepppp sleeeeeeeep and drinking a lot seems to be working. i think i'm licking this damn flu as my fever broke a few hours ago and i'm feeling righteous.
so, on to the great eastern seaboard trip of 2003! the plan is to leave with my folks on tuesday from jax to san antonio, spending christmas with aunt pat, uncle khan, and their bsd / hacker savvy children, flying friday morning to atlanta, leaving with roxanne around 1 for a 3 day drive to boston, attending ty and gayle's wedding on the 28th, and then heading to nyc until new year's, then heading back to atlanta. i'm really excited as i've always wanted to be in times square when the ball drops. plus, there will be snow all up in the boston area and i can't wait to slip and slide around on the icy new hampshire country roads without health insurance or cash money. actually, hopefully i'll have some health insurance. and, also, i'll promise to make y'all swoon as you read my words of this expedition. ;)
jeremy, please give me directions to your mom's house so i can deliver the porsche boxster that i jacked last night.
