rewind slow down pause

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.

ladycroft writes at 06:00:01 11/26/08 - Comment #42611: Well, the most reputable I think is TAPS, The Atlantic Paranormal Society. In fact, they recently did an investigation in B-lo!

Anyhoo, I say the most legit ones are those that try to DISPROVE paranormal activity by finding logical scientific causes for the 'experience'. If they're out to "prove" the activity, they are full of hot air.

fellyconnelly writes at 08:46:36 11/25/08 - Comment #42581: gardenmama - it would be a 'middle of the night' investigation for sure - and we would have to kick you out! But really - what kind of activity have you had?

oh and all ghosts breakdance... what kind of silly question is that james?

metalpeter writes at 07:17:22 11/24/08 - Comment #42569: Hey who knows about that society it might be very good and who knows maybe you will find something that will spawn a series of books or movies, or maybe it will just be people talking and a way to form a club. On a side note I used to get tons of the increase your penis size e-mails but the fact that a girl gets them is kinda funny like how I get ones for breast implants.

libertad writes at 06:59:25 11/24/08 - Comment #42564: I really love your title.

gardenmama writes at 10:36:38 11/23/08 - Comment #42556: haha - that's funny - I don't know - I've certainly never seen them breakdancing

james writes at 09:46:13 11/23/08 - Comment #42554: Do they also breakdance?

gardenmama writes at 08:38:21 11/23/08 - Comment #42551: My daughter and I both believe my house has a ghost/ghosts in it. I think my old tenant believed we had one too. They don't bother us so we don't bother them - it works. You could investigate if you wanted to but I have to warn that I'm a pretty lousy housekeeper. Mostly because when I moved from my old house it was 2400 sq. ft. and we moved into an apartment close to, but less than, 1/2 that size. I still have boxes I haven't unpacked because I don't know where to put the crap. Maybe it's time to purge. Sorry - I digress!

chai latte

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.

drew writes at 07:10:55 11/16/08 - Comment #42181: lets talk next time you are at work. 510-7086

fellyconnelly writes at 06:13:06 11/16/08 - Comment #42179: let me know for sure, I'll be happy to call in an order for you.

drew writes at 10:05:03 11/15/08 - Comment #42152: janelle and I got mad at the TW rate increase and then quit it. I signed up for verizon online (or at least I think I did) but there hasn't been a phone call, email, or anything, so I wonder if the sign-up worked. If it didn't we will sign up through you.

fellyconnelly writes at 09:43:01 11/15/08 - Comment #42150: Its still priming. Next Thurs I'll begin conditioning it and then it should be matured by December 4th. I'll let you know then... but remind me to tell you all about it when it comes out!

james writes at 01:43:12 11/15/08 - Comment #42148: speaking of chai, how did the chai beer come out?

fellyconnelly writes at 11:57:41 11/14/08 - Comment #42145: Not in the city yet. Word is that the areas that are going to get FIOS first will be the areas that receive aerial lines - They aren't too keen on trying to run all sorts of cable under the city right away. Underground lines can be extremely costly..I think its mostly outlying areas, but if you message me your address I can check.

Kenmore would get it sooner than Buffalo though..

FIOS internet and TV packages are not all that much more expensive, monthly, than time warner cable. With the TV package - there are 40 HD channels with room on the fiber optic cable for hundreds more - all uncompressed. You have to rent a box every month for each tv that you have. (you'll need a converter box come February when everything goes digital anyways)

Installation usually does not cost anything....
The problem is if you have old coaxial wiring in your house - it has to be replaced or there is no point. That can be costly....

Installation, incidentally, costs verizon about $1,500 per house. You don't pay any of that.

OK I'm going to stop now - I went to a training today and i'm full of useful facts.

mrmike writes at 09:15:33 11/14/08 - Comment #42142: Got to be soon. The verizon building on Elmwood is all about the Fios. Wish I could have it at my apt.

zobar writes at 09:14:35 11/14/08 - Comment #42141: Wo Paul.

How much does FiOS cost installation/monthly/hidden fees? Do you have any rollout information for Kenmore? I talked to some dude in a mall last December and he said 'any day now' but it turned out to be a shameful web of lies.

paul writes at 08:40:56 11/14/08 - Comment #42139: OMG, do they have it in the city yet? I want it the day it is available. I want a business account. I already have that one in Amherst but I want it at my house.

addendum

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!

beer and cookies?

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.

long gratuitous post.

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.

hobby

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.

warning....

If you don't enjoy the taste of vodka - stay far away from the jello shots at the party tomorrow. (E:Lauren) and I soaked gummy worms and gummy tarantulas in vodka and encased them lovingly in vodka filled jello.

unfortunately we only went with two batches of jello - so there isn't as many as last year. But from the couple of gummy worms I ate while making the shots... damn.

And just so you all know... I may be rather crafty and brewing beer and creating jello shots... but I don't drink much. Its more so leftovers from my wild youth.

See ya'll tomorrow!

Weds 7 am to 6 pm. Springville. Inventory
Thurs 9:30 am to 6 pm.

This brings me to my next point. I'm running out of time for my costume! I have so many intricate parts to fabricate and so little time left! Its scaring me!

Last night we carved pumpkins.Laurens design is pretty sweet. My pumpkin turned out to be way too involved to finish. So I have a pumpkin with no mouth. Now its raining/snowing/sleeting whatever on my pumpkin. I have no time to finish. NO TIME TO FINISH!

ahhhh this is why I shouldn't try and do 8 gazillion things at once!
