Blog Goodness

· 🌡️ 48°F

I am obsessed with blogs. Vapid blogs, banal blogs, pointless blogs, angry blogs. I'll take 'em all. I was catching up on Frangry's blog (I love her because she strongly dislikes a girl in another blog I read). Anyway this was on her blog and it was so awesome I stole it for my blog:

Stickers!

· 🌡️ 13°F

I love me some stickers. If they are free, even better.

You too can get free stickers. Apparently Google is expanding upon their awesomeness by giving away free stickers. I'm not sure why, and I don't ever look a gift horse in the mouth. Simply send a self address and stamped envelope to:

Send me some Gmail stickers already
P.O. Box 391420
Mountain View, CA 94039-1420

Obviously I've already sent in my self-addressed envelope.

Am I Elaine?

· 🌡️ 14°F


Elaine: Oh come on. I'm not difficult I'm easy.

Jerry: Why because you dress casual and sleep with a lot of guys?

  • Me: Oh so wearing jeans doesn't automatically make you easy to date?

Bose

· 🌡️ 27°F

If I could marry a company Bose would for shiz be in the running.

I have this tendancy to go through like 3 pairs of Bose in ear headphones a year. Not because they are a crappy product, but simply because I use them for at least 4 hours a day. I tend to crumple them up and stuff them in my pocket after each use. Great way to treat $100 headphones I know. Well my latest pair I purchased in December and they are already broken. Somehow I managed to detach one part from another. I figured it was worth a shot to call Bose and see if they'd fix them- even if I had to pony up a partial payment or something. I gave their 1-800 number a call and boom- new headphones for free. All I had to do was go along with the suggestion that I did nothing to cause them to break.

I should have the new headphones in 2 weeks. Yay!

Arizona

· 🌡️ 14°F

When I was last in AZ I had a bit of a "culture snob" moment. Everyone wanted to go see a movie and I said if they wouldnt see a movie I wanted I would just go to the Frank Lloyd Wright House instead. As you can see I went my own way (Fleetwood Mac style).This is a sample of what I saw:

  • I still don't get his whole Asian thing. I mean I get where it came from and all that. It always just surprises me when I see it in his work.

  • This is his wife's bedroom. It's this tiny area, his room was MUCH larger and had a bathroom attached. I'm not saying FLW hates women, but I am pointing out the difference in size.

  • This is one shot of the studio area/living area. It is beautiful. 'Nuff said.

Bipartisian Inaguration Treats

In honor of today I made my office have a party. Literally I made them. I had to give this speech about America and being a citizen.

I had this on my desk all day:

Sometimes I even amaze myself with the delicious things I cook. Below is a soulvaki that gives Pano a run for his money.

Hotels in Buffalo

· 🌡️ 17°F

I'm looking for some recs on Hotels in Buffalo. My Mother and I are coming to Buf-a-ho for the birth of the first Ho grandchild. My Mom doesn't want to impose on her friends for too long and wants to stay in a hotel for the weekend that I'll be there. I said I'd stay in one as well and split the cost. My first choice was the Mansion on Delaware, but it's pretty expensive (WTF $300 for a hotel in BUFFALO in FEB?!). Adams Mark only has smoking rooms (again I didn't think they existed anymore). Ideally I'd like to stay downtown-ish so I can booze it up and hang out.

Suggestions?
