hundertsechsundneunzig

This year I have driven 196 miles for work. 176 have been mostly for work in my car, plus 20 for work on Thursday in (e:paul) and (e:terry) car when the streets weren't plowed. Some cheating if you consider I go places with Paul and Terry in a car but if they would bike I would. For reference I tracked 287 miles on my bike this month, 666 for the year, plus whatever I didn't track and what I walked. My goal is to drive under 100 miles a month.

I'm still on the same tank of gas from last year. I can't wait to get rid of the freaking car and the only reason I need it.

Floss Party

After we got (e:paul) and (e:yesthatcasey) from the airport, we came home with the intention of going out. What we really ended up doing was having a floss party in the bathroom. Eventually we're going to end up circle flossing with one long piece, it'll be so bromantic.

Natasha's Birthday

Thursday night (e:terry) and I went with (e:Heidi) and (e:Dianne) to Natasha's birthday at Aroma. It was alright, the combination of the darkness and the music made me kind of sleepy. After Aroma closed Terry and I decided to go to Essex with Natasha and Vanessa, so we froze in the bed of John's pickup on the way there.
Vanessa ended up hustling us at pool. Terry almost broke the table and made the bouncer freak out. It was a fun night but way too late for me.

Littering

On the walk back home, I was at Elmwood and Ferry when some asshole at the light threw his trash out the window. I'm normally not an angry person but littering drives me freaking crazy.

I ended up yelling at him, and going to pick up the trash. I also went a little psycho but I probably shouldn't post about what I did. I ended up getting stuck with the trash but he drove away with a spit covered windshield.

Its hard to stop but I should really watch it before I confront the wrong person.

Programming and bitterness

Tonight I was on a roll, so after I worked out I headed over to Spot to program. I've been looking at (e:Paul)'s cycles project and its helped me a lot in working on (e:terry)'s form making project, especially in terms of setting up things the right way with MVC and how I want to handle user input. When he was writing it I didn't always understand the code, but now I can sit down and step through it line by line it's a lot clearer.

Anyway I actually got coffee at spot. Lately I've liked the taste of coffee. I used to hate all bitter things like dry wines, hoppy beers and dark chocolate but for some reason in the past year or two it has been different. I guess I've either adjusted to them as I've had it more or my tastes have changed? Definitely had more of all these things with Paul and Terry. The sweet tooth has not gone away though.

Agave is now open where Blue Fin was. I really want to try it especially since its supposed to have a different menu than Don Tequila.

Family dinner

After making some chili last night, (e:terry) and I went to my parents' for a roast beef and candy dinner. Terry and I took Midnight on a freezing walk.

My mom made other things like potatoes au gratin and this tabbouleh style quinoa which I loved. They have so much candy that I had a relapse. Didn't stop me from having two slices of cake though.

My parents and Mid are pretty crazy about Terry and Paul so it was a good night.
After dinner we ended up going through old pictures and watching the Olympics closing ceremony where a giant robot bear started crying. Not sure what that was about. We also gave my mom, brother and dog makeovers with the makeup app. I hope P&T don't leave me for my any of them now.

Brunch at Left Bank

To recover from last nights craziness (e:terry) and I went for brunch at the Left Bank with (e:Robert) and Mickey. I got this giant cheddar and asparagus omlette, and Terry got the bruschetta with eggs.

We gave Robert and Mickey makeovers with the Makeup app. They totally could be models with makeup like that.

On the way home we saw somebody had lost their wig on a car. Must have been a good night.

Dreamland and the beach party

Last night (e:flacidness) and Gerald came over before we went to the Dreamland art coop party. After a little bit of street fighter we headed out to the party on Franklin. The building was renovated really nicely. We ran into (e:robert), Jax, Kevin, Pierce and a bunch of other people. Pierce was there taking amazing pictures.

We ended up going to a beach party on Breckenridge after with Pierce, his boyfriend and Mickey. The house was packed, they had a band playing and everything. We didn't have beach wear so Terry and I just got into our underwear. Good thing we wore the fancy ones lol. The dancing sort of devolved into a mosh pit, it was so redonk fun.

We danced until about three before Terry and I headed home, stopping at Lloyd's of course

Mattress adventure

Yesterday (e:terry) and I helped out (e:Robert) and drove out to North Tonawanda to do mattress shopping. We went to American Freight on the Boulevard. Robert found them online advertising crazy cheap mattresses, like $30. We drive out there and its this old pepsi warehouse, completely chaotic. There were so many people and salesmen swarming everywhere, hawking all this discount furniture and these giant stacks of mattresses. Seems like a huge fire hazard. The customers there were very North Tonawanda trash.

Robert got a new bed set and the employee managed to strap it on to the car.

On the way back we stopped at Trader Joes and Chipotle, hoping we could get a quesaritto (buritto made with a cheese quesadilla) but it was real busy. I was absolutely stuffed.

Bis Bald

After two hours of sleep, (e:paul), (e:yesthatcasey) and I got up at 6 so I could take them to the airport. it was real chaotic and we were cutting it close on time. I dropped them off at the terminal about 7:15 for an 8am flight. I just got back. I haven't had to be up this early in a long time.

One week seems so long. Ich vermisse Paolo schon!

Hope its super bromantic! Wish we could escape the cold too.
