Happy Hardcore and German communists

(e:paul) has gotten the weirdest two songs stuck in my head. The first one is "Your Smile" by Charly Lownoise. It's a happy hardcore song thats so 90s it hurts. But its so much more driving and upbeat than most EDM thats big now I don't even know how to dance to it. It makes me work like crazy.

The second song is called "Jungend Erwach" about young communists rebuilding east Germany. I really have nothing else to say but the lyrics are pretty sunny and apolitical for what I'd think a communist children's song would be.

Thanksgiving Eve at Lafayette

For thanksgiving eve (e:paul), (e:terry), (e:xandra) and Jake went out to the Lafayette for their dance night. The place itself was awesomely done, there were DJs and music spread over four different floors and rooms. The crowd was pretty bro. We ran into a bunch of people including Michelle, the go bike girl whose name I can't remember, and (e:Robert) and Mickey.

This chick was dancing by herself, with the pole. She was real into it.

First Real Snow/Cliche snow pics

The first real snow of the year started yesterday. Snow is actually pretty exciting except that I want to ride my bike to work and I haven't bought new tires yet. I went on a run instead last night, and it was way easier to stay focused in the snow instead of the rain.

Linwood looks so amazing covered in fresh snow.

I was stuck driving to work and was behind this ancient truck. The exhaust was so rich I could smell gas in my car. It's so gross that trucks that old are exempt from emissions requirements in NYS.

I can't believe how bright Richmond is below the Ferry Circle. I realized it before but the snow makes it so much worse. I'm guessing they picked the brightest lights in the name of safety, but I could never sleep if I lived down there.

Collapsed stairs at Gates Circle. They were either working on them or the fill underneath got washed out somehow.

Postcrossing

A while back I signed up for this website post crossing.org. the concept is that you send a postcard to a randomly assigned stranger somewhere in the world, and then they get it your name comes up for another stranger to send you one. It sounds like the beginning of some lifetime movie where i get murdered, but i haven't so far. I sent three cards, two to a guy and girl in Germany, and one to a biologist out in Siberia.

I know its super old school, but there's something about having physical mail which I never really get, especially from another person. it'd be way easier and to chatroulette but this is kind of cool (and has way fewer old man penises).

Today I got a card from Taiwan from Sheng/Rita? it was pretty cute.

6 months

It's amazing how fast your life can change in 6 months from such a random occurance. I can honestly say I have never been happier. I love you (e:Paul) and (e:Terry).

Ch-ch-chili

Last night (e:paul), (e:terry), (e:xandra), and I headed to (e:mike) and (e:libertad)'s with (e:yesthatcasey) and Tanya for a chili dinner and some Cards Against Humanity (inaprop as usual, see Paul's post).

The chili was amazing, (e:libertad) and (e:mike) even made a vegetarian bean one. Paul's water, not so much. Terry and I made baklava and apple crisp to complete stuffing everyone.

Paul and Terry and I food coma'd on the floor before we could even plan to do anything else.

Gay dance night

Friday night, (e:paul), (e:terry), (e:yesthatcasey), (e:mike) and (e:libertad) went out to the gay dance night at Milkies on Elmwood. We met up and saw (e:Robert) and Mickey there for a little bit before heading over to Acropolis, where we ran into Jesse. I hadn't been dancing there before but the music was pretty good.

Jesse ended up rescuing me from some suspender snapping bros. I didn't really mind after this guy asked to snap a suspender, but he ended up pulling one strap off the pants. Jesse beasted out and told Broseph to step off, he freaked out and his boss came over and started apologizing like crazy offering us drinks and everything.

We finished off the night by heading out to Underground for saddy hardcore as Paul put it. Gut nacht all around.

da farm shop

Last Thursday I went to the Farm Shop Lexington and Ashland, mostly because I kept reading about their amazing custard online. they are the same dairy as the farmers market who brings their stuff in from White Cow Dairy in East Otto. The store was really cute but the selection wasn't big, mostly a few types of whey yogurt drinks, yogurts and custard (plus lamb but IDC). The employee there was helpful and knew tons about the dairy, he actually worked on the farm. I got a birch and a berry yogurt drink plus a vanilla custard for $10. The yogurt drinks were okay, custard was good but (e:paul) and (e:terry) said it smelled like farts and couldn't be near me when I ate it. Oh well! I don't think I'd go back unless they sold cheese or maybe whole milk.

To finish off a bougie night of eating, (e:Paul) and I headed to the coop where he got more of the best gummies I have ever tasted. I'm seriously addicted to these things, plus they have no gelatin.
