Cous cous

I'm loving (e:tinypliny)'s dinners, virtually unfortunately. I thought I'd share mine.

1 c. water
1 T. butter
1 t. veggie base/bouillon
4 scoops of cous cous in a can
1/4 c. raisins (estimate)
2 T. sunflower seeds (estimate)
2 T. fresh cilantro, chopped

Boil water, butter, veggie base. Remove from heat. Stir in cous cous, raisins and sunflower seeds. Let sit for 7 minutes. Stir in cilantro. Salt if necessary.

Quick & easy! Not really a meal, but a good start of one.

Moving video about Prop 8

The Don't Divorce Us campaign...



Thanks to (e:Lauren), (e:FellyConnelly) and (e:) Vincent for hanging out at Nietzsche's last night. Zili Misik was INCREDIBLE! And as always, the Stripteasers were lots of fun.

driving, snow & sun

Look what I found at the coop! Not to name names...


I was stuck all day Sunday in the basement of the law school building at North Campus. A schoolmate gave me a ride back to Allen. My truck had been stuck all week on Irving Place...


(Truck on Friday 1/30)

... and I thought I'd try to get it unstuck since I had the assistance of the sun. Someone along Irving had left their snow shovel on the edge of the street so I borrowed it for a few minutes and freed my truck. (Thank you, parking gods!) Then I went for a ride before going to (e:Drew) & (e:Janelle)'s for spicy lentil dip, Hotels, beer, and Gilmore Girls. (e:Drew), (e:metalpeter), & (e:mrmike) wer very noisy in the other room, but I don't know what they were doing ;-) (e:jim), (e:james), (e:janelle) & i were quietly enjoying ourselves!

The ride was gorgeous. I went to that little bit of land that has the sewer plant on it and signs for Riverwalk. (Can anyone tell me its real name?) I should have grabbed my real camera - the angle of the sun was perfect.









I drove to school on Tuesday because... well, I guess I was feeling lazy and didn't want to take my big laptop on the metro. I pulled into the metered spots because I'd only be there 1.5 hrs and the lot was already full. Too bad the meters were all frozen! I left 3 quarters just in case the parking gods were no longer pleased with me.



My substantive classes start tomorrow. I'm dreading it because now I have to focus again, but I'm excited because it's stuff I'm more interested in and it'll be good to have a routine again. This semester I have property, contracts, and civil procedure & ethics. The property book starts with how the U.S. government justified taking all the land from the Native Americans. It really is shameful.

you need a title to publish

(e:tinypliny), it was so nice to see you this morning! Such a warm bright treat on a cold windy day. I wish I was going to keep taking that bus this semester!


I visited this foyer recently and wanted to share with (e:matthew)! I wish I had taken a couple more shots to show the detailing.



Now this is some Buffalove (seen outside Cafe 59 1/12):


The Inauguration Ale at Village Beer Merchant was $25.99/growler. Yikes! The guy said it was really good and that he really couldn't charge his usual markup for it - it would have been about $36.



This possum has been terrorizing my buddies Jill & Kelly at the office. They're afraid of it. Meanwhile, Jill's husband has been feeding it cat food. (more about oppossums: )

Puddle of poodles, music

Before I left Tioga County yesterday, A and I visited our friends Kell & Lori who happen to have two of Nisha's siblings (not littermates), Cooper and Buster Brown. Everyone needs more poodles.




Nisha and Buster Brown very similar in coloring (he's a couple shades lighter), size and shape.



Buster Brown and Nisha



Buster Brown, Cooper and Nisha



(Nisha needs a haircut bad!)

(Just so it's clear that I do things other than take pix of my pets... )

A's new band had a gig New Years Eve. It was the first time I had heard them play out and I was tickled by what they've accomplished since I left in August.




A and his sister



Mike the drummer, Kell (poodle owner referenced above), and Adrian.







I'm back in Buffalo for a while... *phew* having two places that are "home" can be rough!

Queen City Roller Girls

I went to the roller derby last night, too! I had to ask my phone what the heck was going on

I'm sure (e:dragonlady7) had no idea who I was when I got this shot:


Love the Suicidal Saucies' socks!





Part of the Nickel City Knockout team



If I want to take good pix of the derby, I'll have to spring for the front row seats.



The will-call line is pretty long, ya might wanna get tix at one of the retail locations.
