last one - i know you love this guy's emails.

Hi Molly,

Your blog said that you were looking for material for a project. I'm not feeling very well right now. I've had a nagging backache for a while that comes and goes. I thought of doing a video about liking "Arty" Molly the best but didn't want to do it with a pained expression. I'm not that good an actor. So,

I was watching One Night at McCool's this afternoon on cable and thought it might appeal to you and that you might be able to use some of the material from it. It's going to be replayed later this month on ENCR4P and STRZ6 (the channels are for Comcast). I don't know the cable listings for the Vancouver area and you might have to rent it.

There was a cool song, She Likes the Attention, that plays during the credits that you should listen to. (spricket24 would probably like it too.) It's also available for download at amazon.com. It looks like Liv Tyler was wearing your cat outfit. It seemed like a movie you would like.

It's just a suggestion.

didn't actually read this one. skimmed through it - i wonder if he emails karen too.

i forgot i filtered out this guy's emails. found them in some folder. why would i take a stupid rock to ubc?

Hi Molly,

I noticed that you found an interesting rock the other day. It looks like it is a porphyry which means that it is an igneous rock with other minerals within it. You might be able to find more information about your rock by talking to somebody at the museums at Earth and Ocean Sciences, UBC:

Pacific Museum of the Earth
University of British Columbia
Earth and Ocean Sciences -- Main Building
6339 Stores Road
Vancouver, British Columbia V6T 1Z4
Canada

M.Y. Williams Geological Museum
Vancouver , British Columbia

I'm a little disappointed with you

I'm a little disappointed with you for not letting me know that you would be going to the YT Gathering in SF next week. Mr Safety's Feb 9th video was featured in the Travel & Places category. Are you going to do the Crazy Dream thing? I missed the night that you were at Producing101 on Stickam could you fill me in on the details about what you are planning on doing? Maybe be could get together sometime if you have time to kill.

I really don't know how to react since you seldom respond to my emails. I know that you are pressed for time right now but if you have some to spare please email me. k? :)

I ended up a loner

Well, I finally got around to doing a video of sorts. It happens to be a math video but the computed images in it are really nice. The Mandelbrot Set is actually the black area. I found a BBC Basic program in D. G. Drazin's Nonlinear Systems which is a volume in the Campridge Texts in Applied Mathematics series which I adapted to generate the zoom and stills. It took 9 hours to compute the 480 images and since the animation subroutine which captured the images had a limited palette I decided to include the still images to show more detail.

I really wish I could but I won't be able to go to the London YouTube Gathering at the Phoenix this weekend. I had a wisdom tooth pulled Friday and I have some family business to get out of the way. If I was more involved in YouTube I would definitely have considered going. My parents spent 5 months traveling through Europe in 1988 visiting relatives and doing geneology research. They went to the Runnymede Air Forces Memorial near London looking for my uncle's name but could not find it then. Just after Christmas I contacted a photographer in the UK who was kind enough to send me some pictures of the panel 102 near the West Lookout which contains my uncle's name. He was part of the crew of a Lancaster bomber which was lost during the "lull" in October, 1942 when the Battle of Stalingrad the fight over North Africa were taking place. He left a journal which reads more like a travel log at times. He was stationed near the Lakes District for a time and mentions that he was rather fond of a Scottish girl that he met. He grumbled a bit about being assigned to the Pathfinders. All my parents ever told me about what happened to him was that his plane was seen to go down over the North Sea.

Anyway, I do have an excuse to go to London and visit the PRO at Kew to see what I can find out about his fate. And if I ever get around to doing so perhaps we could get together for a pint of beer at a pub in London sometime. Doing some sightseeing in Europe might be fun too.

I saw Kwai Chi's video and the Phoenix looks like a nice place. I would have liked to meet you in person. I have a few childhood scars that I could show you if you ever decided to do another book. And I was poisoned once when I was a kid and ended up in a coma for a week. I think my parents were a bit overprotective after those incidents and I ended up a loner as a result. My parents both grew up on farms and were rather family oriented so they didn't socialize much either. After my father retired from television they started a family business which I helped them out with. Now that they have passed on I need to find new interests to pursue.

Let me know how the gathering goes. I hope everyone has a nice time there.

I do like "collecting you"

Would you like someone to help backup your old video? Hard drives can fail and YouTube is now unwilling to save your work. I would be willing to help if you need it. I have a lot of free space on my hard drive. I have only used 25GB of a 225GB hard drive and I can burn DVDs if you wish.

I live in Fresno, California which is 3 hours from Pier 39 and could help with redoing and uploading the endangered videos.

I would really like to help you if you need it. I do like "collecting you," since you are the "queen" of youtubia but I also feel that your rights as the author of these works take precedence.

Please let me help.

;-)

I have to watch my sugar intake

I noticed that you just got through posting another blog, Family Names. The reason I am emailing you is because the header is missing. I assume the page is still under construction. All that shows up is a blank header space when you sellect the information using a mouse.

The muffins the other day reminded me of you online painting session on Stickam and the auctions on ebay. I really wanted Evil Muffin. *sigh* I have to watch my sugar intake now. I found out I have diabetes. My candy habit has finally caught up with me.

Check out httprover2.blogspot.com. France Gall is a trip into the past. You might like her. She is definitely 80's. She is known for Baby Pop. And she is a real tease. You'll find her on YouTube. She was almost 30 years ahead of the present with Résiste.

Some Bond trivia: Ian Fleming was the liason officer between Bletchley Park and the Director of Naval Intelligence.

Photo of your house

I hope you had a great time in Canada and the US during the last month. Looks like you accomplished quite a bit in the time allotted. I'm a little hurt that you didn't share that with me. I still would have loved to see LOVE at the Mirage. It is still playing. Some other time?

I just got through looking at the YouTube slide show video of your trip. Sorry to have missed you again. But it probably wouldn't have made much of a difference since I have a sister with problems and is very demanding of my time. Sometimes a little too demanding. But she is my sister and was rather desparate.

There's another thing that I should mention. I was looking through your albums at flicker and found some pictures of where you were staying in SF. You have to be more careful now about what you post because of Google Street View. I've attached the street view of the place where you were staying. It's a little scary. You probably have enough information to find where I now live. Unless you tossed it out with the spring cleaning.

I am still at a loss about what happened, if anything, to Molly at 888. She was rather nervous on stage and didn't do her routine with nayders07. Was Tony Stockert there? He makes her nervous. At 777 she was somewhat giggly when she almost kissed Tony. I'll assume what happened was a private matter and forget about it. Her last couple of videos were really cool and indicate that she has a sense of humor. Does she like playing gags?

In case you are wondering why I have been worring about her, there were two photos posted in her myspace account in which she wore dark glasses and had what appeared to be a bruised nose with captions something like "hello lover" and "summer summer". And I had lost touch because of my sister's problems. Molly is at a time in life when people often run into trouble finding their way. There is a limit to what others can do and people can get so distracted by other things. Sometimes people have trouble coping and nothing you do seems to help. It can be rather fustrating and you can get hurt while trying to help.

I don't live there anymore.
