New Skateland Buffalo sucks - Thanksgiving Eve

Thanksgiving eve, we went out with Jeremy to the Well Rounded People's roller skating party, and then to the Give Thanks and Rave event at Milkie's.

The roller skating was great. The music was good and we saw tons of people there. (e:paul) and I were entranced by a long haired, roller skating Jesus - I wish I were a tenth as good as he was. He could skate backwards, on one leg, on two wheels, in spirals and every combination at 10x the speed of everyone else. It was really magical to watch.

(e:terry) is still the best skater I know - by the end could skate backwards. Maybe we can practice ice skating this winter.

My take on the event was soured by a fucking ridiculous old man who checked out lockers for Skateland (you can read about the conversation at (e:paul,59625)). I walked into the conversation a little after (e:paul) did - exactly in time to hear him refer to lesbians as "cats fighting for a rose on a silk blanket" and gay men as "two dogs fighting". Almost glad I wasn't around to here his suggestion about sending gays to an island. I had to walkout because I couldn't even process what i was hearing.

I found it disgusting as Skateland's unsprayed shoes that anyone thinks that way and it makes me never want to go there again. Even if you think that, why do you ever think this is okay to say to your customers?

Anyway, after we headed home to sterilize ourselves from the roller rink, it was off to Milkie's (with the bear costume). The music for the most part was good - a lot of drum and bass and hardcore. Lindsay even joined us for a bit. The sound wasn't too loud and we got a ton of dancing in.

We left just in time to leave the death metal EDM and get some Lloyd's. All in all a good night.

Leaky roof


After the entire fiasco with trying to find a get a contractor to work on our garage roof, we thought we were finally done when we got Naples to do it. Unfortunately the vents they put in are leaking when it snows already.

Its only on one vent and its a ton of water, so I'm guessing there's no flashing on it. They better come back and fix it. Maybe they could finish off the car as well.

Push ups for the whole family


(e:Paul) downloaded a push app for his phone that trains you to do 100 push ups. Of course I can't let him do any excercise that I can't do so I downloaded it too. Now (e:terry) has it.

We'll all have the biggest, furriest moobs if we keep this up.

Shoveling the roof

Today I spent 7 hours shoveling my great aunt's roof in West Seneca. It really was insane how deep it was down there. The roads were basically canyons carved out of snow.

It was only a ranch house but the snow was 5 feet deep and half of it had turned to ice. My mom, uncle and sister all helped but we didn't even get to the garage by the end.

The best part was that you could jump off the roof into the biggest pile of snow before.

Bird food or snack?


(e:Paul) and I were at Ace getting switches to work on the electrical. While we were there, we saw these bird treats. They were made of millet, seasame and corn syrup. Not for human consumption either (e:paul,59606) but I'd try it.

Historic Allentown


I would have never thought this building on Franklin would be up for a redo but its being converted into apartments now. Is it time for the 60s to be historic?

It's so weird in an ugly way - kind of like a mini city court building. The plus of having an apartment in it is you won't have to see the outside. I could see it being super modern and cool on the inside though if they do it right.

Soup night

(e:yesthatcasey) and I have been trying to pick up cooking again by making dinner with (e:terry). This week we made burritos on Tuesday, and a creamy potato vegetable tonight.

I think now that I'm limited to how much overtime I work I should be able to make dinner more. I want to be a much better cook. Chopping skills have improved, ask Terry.

Days off

I've been off for almost a week now, in between the end of my contract and the start of my full time job at Roswell. I thought I would have actually tried and taken the time off, unlike my last break - but I've been working on other programming projects instead. Today I finally found out I start on Monday. Woop. I'm super pumped to see how this goes.

Being home during the day is pretty boring, since I'm the only one off, so today I went and worked at (e:terry)'s office.

At least it's been snowy - I don't feel like I'm burning sunlight.

Finally snowed

We don't have the 7 feet that the southtowns do but we finally got some. Now that I don't have to commute 20 miles through it I find snow much cooler again. Linwood and Allentown especially look so peaceful in the snow. Everything is so muffled and I love seeing so much fewer cars.
