Been crazy busy since the party. I spent saturday sleeping and sanding down a bookshelf that lauren decided to purchase friday night RIGHT before the party.

Sunday and yesterday evenings I spent painting it. Tonight I was going to find a place for it in my already overcrowded apt, but alas... I have no idea where that would be.

so instead i'm watching obama kick the mac's ass.

A few weeks ago, I came across e:janelle at wegmans, around the soda and chips aisle, and, during the course of a brief chat, she helped me realize that i'm ridiculous in terms of needing to have projects to do. As in several. I'm very restless. Maybe I feel as though I need to prove my worth.

So now that halloween is over (and the mask making with it) and I just finished killing off brain cells by inhaling enamel paint with the bookshelf..... i need a new hobby. a new obsession to obsess over.

the documentary thing? screwed over by a faulty codec. fail.

i guess i'll just make more beer.

i'm sitting on my balcony posting. Its nice to be outside and warm in November. Even if I get wierded out by the neighbors so close by on their balcony.
Today we drove out to Lockport to drop off e:lauren's car at the shop for an inspection. We decided to spend the day off playing. We stopped by my work (on my day off even i can't stay away) and lauren picked out the phone she wants when our sprint contract come up in the middle of the month.

My boss took us out to lunch at Quiznos - which was more than wonderful. Then we drove out to the cemetery in lock port and walked around in search of my uncle ralph. after finding him, we took photos of ralphie on uncle ralphs gravestone. We wandered around quite a bit - and ralphie was ecstatic since we let him be off the leash quite a bit.

Then we drove around, hit a coffee place and then went to Reids - which really is probably the greatest thing in Lockport.

Ralphie got a new sweater today, and I can't wait to take pictures of him in it.

Last night we bottled the Chai beer - not sure if its going to taste too much like chai by the time i'm done. I don't know if that is a good or a bad thing.

Today we received another brew club order, and i'll be making a 'scottish wee heavy' which is an amber ale with malts, brown sugars and butterscotch schnapps. I'm sure it will be amazing. That should be ready right around time for me to take with me to the new years party in Lake George this year.


Tonight we are going to an art opening at Buffalo State.
Opening is from 7 to 10. You should check it out, It looks like it's going to be inspiring.

why is it snowing?

today i made cookies AND beer.

And by cookies - i mean sweet bread cakes. since i used wheat flour and applesauce its not very cookie like.

And by beer I mean I brewed a red ale and added butterscotch schnapps. Its called a 'Wee Heavy'. how exciting.

Also ate at Sahara Grill. Food was ok (we tried new things that I couldn't even begin to remember much less pronounce!) but it was cold as hell and they sat us right in front of the big screen tv so we watched the simpsons while we ate.

Now we are going to watch waking life. I hear you need to be stoned to watch this movie.

Last post I asked 'why is it snowing?'

and it was because estrip told me so. I didn't realize it was REALLY snowing!

And the best thing about cookies that taste more like sweet bread is that you don't feel bad about eating them for breakfast.

Also Waking Life? A movie that doesn't require you to be stoned. It is a movie that requires you to be tripping. Or maybe I just felt like I was.

Off to Springville!

Verizon Home Services....


So... i hate to ah.. advertise or whatever...

But if anyone is interested in any verizon home services - such as high speed internet - or, in some parts of the area, FIOS, then let me know and I can get you running. Actually I can get you running faster than calling up and asking for it yourself.

and yes i do get commission for it.


and for all you sabres fan, Rob Ray will be at my verizon lockport store tomorrow from 2-4 signing autographs. it is our 5 year anniversary. Also cake and stuff.

ok enough work plugs.

I made an amazing chai tea latte and i need to go enjoy it.

Wanda Sykes is a big ol lesbian... who knew? I DID!

did this give you a clue?

hahahahaa

TODAY= AWESOME

Today my Sprint contract is up! That means today Lauren finally gets a Verizon phone! AND: That means today I get a blackberry curve! Hooray for being waayyy tooo connected to everything!


and even more sweet...

TODAY I GO TO MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!

yes tonight I have two tickets to the bills game... in the Verizon Suite!
I won them at work for working so damn hard. Free food! Free drink! YESSSS!!!

oh yeah, I'm a bit too excited for being awake at 5:30 in the am.

Just got in from a weekend at the parents house. Boy am I exhausted.
I ate ridiculous amounts of food - drank ridiculous amounts of coffee and soda.... and now i feel like shit... not to mention I gained like 4 lbs in a weekend...

i'm slowly learning the ins and outs of the blackberry... i don't go online too much with it, since i get both my yahoo as well as my gmail emails sent directly to me,(oh look - i can increase my penis size by 3 inches!) and my facebook and myspace updates are directly to me... this is probably why people don't like being too connected, huh?


i have the possibility of joining a paranormal research society, but I'm not sure how i feel about it. i mean the idea of it is quite neat, but i'm unsure as to whether these guys are serious or not. Kinda hard to say so far... anyone have a house/building that is haunted that i can come investigate?

yeah i know.. there is always something ridiculous that i am getting myself into.

i love my blackberry, but I'm lazy...

I'm so connected - my yahoo and gmails come directly to my phone. I have a facebook AND a myspace application right on my main screen.

I don't even like myspace.

BUT

I actually have to go to estrip on the browser. And then login. And in my world of 'check facebook in this 60 second break' it is creating a world of oh so connected for me.

Is there anything I can download so that I can be more (IMMEDIATLY) connected to my estrip? I know there is a program that will send me RSS feeds (whatever the hell that means) but I don't think that is what I need.
Also... is xtml beta the site that I want when I go to estrip? I know I must sound like a total noob to all you computer programmers...

some things i'm obsessed with.

my blackberry

Don't stop the music - Rihanna

age of empires

pizza

sleep



interesting... all things that i will be enjoying this evening.
