Oh, why must I go to work tomorrow? Not with a Robot Chicken marathon running till 5:00 a.m. on Cartoon Network!

Dammit dammit dammit!

Ah well. Here's one of my favorite clips found on YouTube:

in keeping with the notion that famous people die in "threes" ("deathtroika"), who's next?

1. James Brown (Dec 25)

2. Gerald Ford (Dec 26)

and

3. ???

Which one of you dopes went on an 8-month joyride with (baby) Jesus?



Hmmm... "Joyridin' with Jesus" -- that gives me an idea for a country song...

...for just $10:


I mean really, does it get any better?

At the downtown BAC tonight around 6:30 pm, I was on a treadmill next to someone who was a dead ringer for @jill , but I assume it was just a case of my overactive imagination.

A random walk through some old subfolders turned up the 7.6 bazillion photos I took while apartment hunting in Buffalo over the summer. I was in the Elmwood area, the Gates Circle area, the little neighborhood north of the zoo, and knocking around Hertel... anyway, long story short, here's some of the pics. I'm not sure if it's because chica and I were drooling over snow tires on TireRack.com tonight, but I am finding all the summer foliage shots comforting.

It might not look like much now, but in about a week, I'm sure this garage off Gates Circle is going to look awfully tempting...

Great party PMT. Happy Birthday again, @enknot , yeah you're old.

Had a really good time meeting new people, playing "tree" to the sugar gliders, and trying to avoid being swept off the roof by a gust of wind.

Many thanks to @zobar , @dragonlady7 , and @jenks ' friend Tracee for offering rides home. If we successfully repopulate B-lo maybe we can get the Metro to run after 12 midnight and I will not have to rely on the kindness of e:peeps (at least so many of you are so kind).

I'm not so much hung over, just tired...been a while since I was out till 4 am. I know @chicoschica would've been dancing till dawn if she was there, though.

In conclusion, I offer you a poor-quality YouTube clip of Johnny Cash singing "Sunday Morning Coming Down."

Anyone know of places to look for "interesting" fish bowls?

My sister's boyfriend has some kooky decorating idea for their apt in Jersey City and has asked for interesting fish bowls for Christmas.

Any ideas? Or anyone out there who is able to design & decorate ordinary fishbowls in interesting and artful ways?

First, we hear so much bad news about the economy in Buffalo and WNY that I was pleasantly surprised to see the following article in the Buffalo News:



It reports an unanticipated surge in orders for goods manufactured in our area last month. Hey, it's something.


Second, and more important ( ;-) ), @chicoschica came in 4th in her age group in Medaille College's 5k Reindeer Run today! Congratulations, chica! You rule.

The Daily Show's Rob Riggle just filed a "news" report on the US's options in Iraq:

Go Big (send more troops)

Go Long (plan to stay for years to come)

or Go Fuck Yourself ("pretty much what we've been doing")


Brilliant!
