Next Tuesday will tell, If harmony park is to expensive or would put any of us at financially on the hook for it if it bombs, or they won't work with us on some of the things, there is no time to find some place else.

yes, but then if it does bomb we can start working on next year. Or, it was brought up again tonight, a decompression.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 10:38 pm

A decompression might be a better idea anyway, but I don't know if there would be all that much more time to work towards it as a really big deal. I know I'm starting to focused on what I'm going to do for costumes, and props and stuff for Burning Man and feel like time is getting short for that. To add a lot of organizational work for the decompression seems overwhelming,...

I think I'm just feeling a bit overwhelmed by life these days so I have a low threshold right now. hopefully I'll get over it once I've been in a new job for a while.

Well, I'm here if you need someone to slap you back to work. I know what it's like to be overwhelmed. Would it help if I nagged?

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 10:48 pm

I don't think anyone else's nagging would help much, I have a tendency to react in defiance agents nagging with even more lethargy, and I don't need the extra stress overcoming my reaction to anyone else's nagging while I'm overcoming my own, self nagging.

Okay, so that's out. Can I help with anything?

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 11:05 pm

Have done anything with the wire you were going to work with?

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 11:18 pm

Which wire? I did a little with the sixteen gauge copper, I told you about it. I'll bring it with the next time I see you. I haven't done anything new though. Been a little busy.

No prob.

La la la la, this message needs more to say. Unfortunatly I can't think of anything to say at the moment.

Oh, Z what day?

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 11:42 pm

Sunday the places would be closed so Thursday would work best I think.

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 11:44 pm

oh shit, guess I should have read this first. Ummmm, shoot. Can you check the hours?

I was trying on for size and gave a report to the community at large. I would never plonk GE for real. Or to avoid another discussion of careless sweeping statements, I'd be hardpressed to imagine plonking GE for real.

Fine... I understand. I can take it. *sniff*

boring and no play is just what I've always wanted. It causes me to loose focus when I'm working on metal pieces for outfits, but have it your way.

Hey Heli... You can be my buddy!!

I'll even help you build another hot tub.

We're just setting ourselves up for disaster, if we think we can just make a carbon copy of the old eplaya, because it has CHANGED. ALL I'M SUGGESTING is that we allow ourselves to change along with it. Just as it's growing, so too must we, else we find ourselves being left behind.

I think that in the long run you treat the undeserving with dignity and compassion anyway as best you can because that keeps you from being a petty nasty person.

I'd love to get teh clip off the show that has Blinky hanging from the line and blinking each eyeball in succession, but I'm guessing that that would take more memory that I'm allowed. Even apart from copywrite issues.

You could probably get it under the limit, if you could find the frames to animate together in a GIF. Copyright wouldn't really matter, since you're not gaining anything from it and they're not losing anything. Fair use.
