Ok, I bit the bullet, and put down the cash on the new site. It should be ready by Friday (some tweaking left.) I'll let you know.

Well, I had talked to AD about the civic election when he had gone throught the candidates. He perused them, and decided they were all dumbshits (haha... just kidding on the square...). I'd like to do the same, but, as they really are dumbshits, and they all say pretty much the same stuff without doing anything, I decided to choose based on their websites. It's the information age, and if you (or some team you come up with) can't put together a decent website, how are you supposed to run a city? With that in mind,



• Mayor Bill Smith:
  Animated GIF?! Fuck you! Next!


• Former Councillor Robert Noce:
  Not great, but not immediately vomitous. Picture with the Grey Cup a bit gratuitous, but I can live with it. Grammar (The current Mayor is accusing me that my campaign is sponsored by smoking related companies) isn't great. The big complaint? The massive logo in the "Issues" popups:
  
  We know who you are, Bob. Thanks for burning it into our retinas.


• Councillor Stephen Mandel:
  Wow... My eyes don't hurt. Except when I look at that picture:
  
  Not bad, but did you have to PDF all your platform material? I mean, it can't be that hard to summarize it into a small sentence like "make the city better." Maybe you can Kerry-ize it with "I have a plan to make the city better." Who knows?


Hmm, now that I've seen the individual Mandel image, outside of the banner, it looks even worse. Bottom line, they all suck. I think (and I think AD thinks, too) that I may just write Hank into the ballot. That'll learn'em. That'll learn 'em good...

Holy crap... start using OSX for your PC!!!

Hey Taylor those are pretty damn good!

well, Beck, it really is a shame that I'm alison, not "Allison" then isn't it? maybe you should learn how to spell my name before you tell me what I can and cannot do. :p Anyway, I can't go. My Mom is going in for surgery tomorrow, and I should really be around home for the next while to help out where needed. (yes, that includes Saturday night... yes, I'm a bit of a recluse right now too...)

So... onto other things. I've finally found out who's coming for the Revolutionary Speaker's Series, and it's exciting!

October 20th: Marc Kielburger (Executive director of "Free the Children")
January 2nd: Lewis Lapham (Editor, Harper's Magazine)
March 2nd: Avi Lewis (Host of CBC's CounterSpin Recently directed a documentary film called The Take)
April 14th: Morgan Spurlock (writer, director, producer of Super Size Me)

For info. go here

Avi Lewis!!! This is going to be awesome! I'm totally excited... and it's not until March. Oh, he's AWESOME!

Hey Andy, here's the model I made which you were asking about:

medi-bot

This thing was real rushed. The model sucks and the texture was a 5 minute job, but hey... at least it shows that I can do it. Actually making this thing didn't take much time at all, but figuring out HOW to do it took FOREVER. But now that I've done one, I'm a whiz and I could probably pull models outta my ass in my sleep at this point.

Oh yeah, sleep. I keep forgetting about that.

IMHO: "Leo and Paras go to Diamonds" is better though.

Hey Tom, you and Taylor are more than welcome, that list wasn't all encompassing and was really more for the people who I didn't think would come without some coaxing.
Saturday - I'll post more later to arrange meeting and maybe some pre-drinking.

Leo and Paras Go To Whitecastle is a damn funny movie...

percy speaking of business what have u been up to lately i have seen neither hide nor hair of you for a frightfully long time.... and beck i dont blame u for not putting me on ur required list i still remember that last time i went with on that vip thing..... hehe well not all of it but i remember a fair portion i must say it was quite a debacle it always is anytime ur forcibly ejected from a strip club

Ok...

Jere and I are going to Diamonds this Saturday, more people are required.
Basically anyone who wants to come may, the following people must come no excuses: Paras, Leo, Ed (for de-Maryfication (that was just to annoy her ;)) hopefully that worked (also to see how many times I could use brackets inside more brackets)), Percy, Andy, Allison.
