On Wednesday, e:terry and I made it out to Go Bike's Biketober fest at the new Flying Bison brewery in Larkinville. We met up with the usual bike people - I also got to talk to two of the bike and ped engineers for the …
e:terry ordered his Chun-Li costume off party city's website. They thought this box was reasonable for a flat, unbreakable costume:
Tuesday was a super nice day and probably the last one for a while. So e:Paul, e:terry and I cut out of work to fit in a bike ride. Fall color mode was full on.

It was a bit sad to hear about our old friend last night having to deal with a personal issue. I'm getting back out there & making a conscious decision to get back out into the world. Going to the party last night was a…
e:paul and I got to see the garden again, this time with e:terry and with a lot more in bloom! The sustainable building was done too - it didn't have much function but the net-zero energy usage is freaking awesome. Stop…
After Tuneyards, we had the most ridiculous night. Booty abounded. We started off at Luck'ys again which was cool, but not as packed at before. It still had the dive bar, dance-floor-is-gonna-cave feel that I wish Buffa…
I don't think I've ever heard such a crazy voice before. The show was at a giant old church complex called Mr. Small's fun house. Everyone in the crowd got so pumped for their best and most popular song - Gangsta. https…
My little brother moved out yesterday into e:Libertad's new home. I will miss him. It was fun getting to live with him again.
e:Paul cooked up some squash tonight. It was amazing enough just cooked by itself but we put some brown sugar and butter on top. Yum.
We spent most of the day today cleaning for this weekend. I think we actually made progress on dehoarding - the back hall is finally clean. On the otherhand we disturbed so many scooters and spiders from their old homes…
This weekend I dog sat Midnight for my parents. I really miss him sometimes, but even just seeing him I have to shower and change or else e:paul is allergic. :( Still my best bud. I probably was at my parent's for 10 ho…
We went to the pittsburgh botanical gardens last week. Like everything else we did it Pittsburgh it just makes me want to move there.
We all helped out e:mike and e:libertad move into their new pad. It's weird to see Mike move out - I got used to him as a roommate. The new house is so cute - both the location and the house itself. It seemed like there…
e:yesthatcasey, e:steve, Masumi, e:terry and I went to Mickey and e:robert's Halloween party Friday night. It was ridiculous. Terry was a mime and I went as Paul - naked, basically. I met a bunch of new people who hopef…
Friday I went down to Riverkeeper to buy a rain barrel for the garage. For $100, we got a barrel, and Riverkeeper gets to keep the profits. Unfortunately the barrel will crack in the winter. But it should keep the garag…
We hosted a pumpkin carving extravaganza on Saturday night. This year we have a lot of variable size pumpkins instead of one monolithic one. I miss the big one but it still looks cute. They did a great job.
The International Institute dinner was Thursday at the Hotel Lafayette. e:paul and I joined the Allen Street crew after work. The food was real tasty but sadly they ran out of a lot of the veggie things before I got to …
The new stainless steel metro stations in the 500 block look so much freaking better than the old rusty green ones. Too bad they're only replacing two stations worth - the rest make us look stuck in the 80's. They've al…
I got tired of waiting for someone to pick them up as they piled up in the back hall and decided to free them into the world of outdoor bottle collection. Some happy poor person is going to have a full shopping cart. Ca…
Last weekend at the Clinton Bailey Market I got some concord grapes and made fruit Rollups out of them. I manually removed the seeds, then blended the remains into a puree. Then I added a black plum, and some chopped ap…
We spent the entire day cleaning the house for the party on Friday. While cleaning the vents I saw the furnace grates are patented for 1875. I wonder when they were made.
This market is definately the best in the city. I can't believe the prices. Today they had any kind of squash for $1. Not $1 per pound. $1 per squash. If you haven't gone, you need to go before the season is over.
