Buffalo So Needs This!

According to this article in the New York Times, kickball leagues have been sprouting up all over America:

I don't know if kickball is a big deal in grade schools in Buffalo, but I remember it as being great fun, requiring very little athletic ability, and maybe vaguely dangerous -- if a red rubber playground ball could possibly be dangerous. You do get to throw it at people -- sort of a combination of softball and dodgeball. You know you love it.

Anyway, it's a funny idea. I think we need to start a kickball league in Buffalo next spring. Let me know if you're into it!

Nationwide adult kickball association:

A kickball [league] grows in Brooklyn:

Oh..well I guess some of us are, but not really hip...no NO we're not, not at all. You should come out once. We're more hippies than anything else...not even. Well, ok you can't now but you should when it gets better out. Yeah! Dangit!

Of course, I'd been scooped (e:hodown), as always. Hodown, I bow down to you, you rule.

I also went through (e:hodown)'s backlog and while I didn't find the kickball reference, I am reminded how much I've missed reading my favorite blogs on e-strip during the past month. OK, that's it, I'm back, bitches. And if you haven't been reading (e:hodown)'s blog, shame on you. Who else would dedicate an entire post to skorts? Fucking A.

And a shout-out to (e:enknot) for the Buffalo Kickball action, boy am I sorry I missed that post (e:enknot,37) when it first went up on 8/13.

hodown writes at 08:57:18 09/15/06 - Comment #11425: I wrote a post about this a while ago. It's all the rage with the hipsters in Brooklyn. Really it's their excuse to dress up 70s gym style and drink.

paul writes at 12:07:19 09/15/06 - Comment #11423: There is already one. (e:enknot) and his friends are really into to. You should ask him about it, he is always trying to get more peopl einto it.

Where's the beef?

In my apartment, allegedly...

Well, actually, more like buffalo meat.
Chico made some buffalo burgers and made them in the grill pan on the stove and smoked up the whole freakin' apartment.

We opened the windows and turned on the fans - but to no avail.

Now we both smell like MEAT - grreeeeaaaaattttt.....

On a lighter note - today was the first day of the rest of my life - or at least at this new job at Roswell. hehe

It will be a LOT of learning and a LOT of politicking (my first vibes), but I hope it will work out. I'm a science geek by nature (and training) so I want to do what I can to make their research side work well and be profitable for the institute.

Also, it means I need to dress up a bit more than I'm used to - shopping spree!!
It could be fantastically fun except I haven't had a paycheck in a month, so....mix and match is the name of the game, baby! Hopefully no one will notice I'm wearing the same dress shirts and shoes week after week... ha ha!

Also, many happy returns of the day to all the birthday peeps! I know chico and I haven't been around that long yet, but we wish yuz the very best!!

Cheers!
