Seabar with Paul

Yesterday after work, (e:paul) and I were feeling the bougie waves of hunger wash over us. So we went to Seabar. It was my first time there and it was the best food ever.

We split the seaweed salad and the carmelized goat cheese salad. The goat cheese salad had a little torched crust like a creme brulee along with celery leaf greens and a raspberry vinegar sauce.

I got the vegetarian rolls, with red pepper, avacado, mushroom and cucumber. We also split the sugar egg Tamago roll. I bet we can make something like these at home, just not as pretty looking.

We got dessert too. It was this peanut butter fudge type crispy treat, with caramel sauce, berries and whipped cream.

After we got back, I did duolingo and watched more Teen Wolf with (e:terry).

Bierklub wieder

Beer club was a week later this month because of the blizzard last week.
Just writing this post makes my mouth cringe, since the beers this month were all stouts. For sure the most disgusting beers I've ever had. Most of them tasted like someone dumped burnt flavored coffee in a terrible beer. Even the stout people were not very impressed with most of them. We left right after the beer was done because seconds weren't even worth it. At home the church of the old pink was founded somehow. There was also some alcohol-fueled dummheit again. It was super annoying.

On the bright side (e:terry) and I got out Girl Scout cookies! Too bad about the transfats. I also got to catch up with Michelle for a little bit. She was telling me how after graduation this semester she's planning on going on a big trip to South America. It sounds awesome, I wish I had planned for something like that last year.

On the way back I stopped at the coop. Maybe I need to start purchasing peanut butter in $50 tubs?

Basra's Jumbo Rainbow Snack

Apparently sometime on St. Patrick's day, Basra ordered some snacks on (e:terry)'s office computer. I didn't even realize he was there (he may have done it with the help of (e:paul), (e:mike) and I). Terry saw this open when he went into work on Monday.

Since Basra didn't ask before he ordered $82 worth of penis pops, I called to cancel it. The woman on the phone pretty much understood when I told her it was St. Patrick's day. I told her Basra was a tortoise and wouldn't be needing any penis candy. She never fufilled the order because she was confused why the name didn't match the card. She also told me it was flagged because of something inappropriate written in the memo section, but she wouldn't tell me what it was. Must have been terrible if the dirty candy company won't say it. I feel kind of bad for their wasted time although I am sure it happens a lot.

Vanilla Cupcake Fish

I think I want to be some sort of snack engineer from now on. Someone comes up with all these ridiculous variations on snacks. Vanilla cupcake goldfish, they didn't taste very good but something about them made me finish the package. The taste was weird and fake cake flavored, kind of like a sugar-ier cake vodka.

It reminds me how I used to inhale Cupcake Pebbles when it was a thing. Those probably tasted the same flavorwise but I could eat a box in an evening.

Clean drawers

On Saturday (e:paul) and O tackled cleaning out the junk drawer and cabinet in the kitchen. I wish I took a before picture because the end pic is about a tenth as messy as it was. We dumped a bunch of old recipie print outs, ancient medicine (sunscreen that was expired in 2006?) It took us about 2 hours, including trying to fix the saggy cabinet door. The kitchen really didn't look different after but its mentally the antidote to hoarding.

After we went to go take a bunch of old clothes to Amvets and went St Patrick's day shopping at Wegmans with my brother. Paul and I rewarded our work with Ethiopian at Gaturs. They're selling Scientology books now.

St. Patrick's day

I'll have to post captions later, I have a headacheee
Update: We started somewhat early around 12 after getting decked out in green. I wore (e:paul)'s green zunfthosen

.
We got to the parade but weren't actually there too long. Everyone brought St. Patrick's day to the roof for a bit where it got a little cray. Then we came home and stuffed our faces with La Nova. (e:paul) and I took a 5 hour nap before I got back up with a second wind. (e:terry) on the otherhand powered through the whole day. All in all an amazing St. Patrick's day.

Breakfast of champions.

Halloween costume for next year?

Heidi after she unzipped the zunfthosen at the parade... I forgot how I was wearing them.

Union floats - a good fuck you to the people that were booing them. You just wish you had a union, I know I do.

Terry safely repeating his stunt

(e:dianne) finishing her day like a champ

The spoon came out for Mike of course

ELAB Circus at Dnipro

(e:terry), (e:paul) and I went with (e:Keith) to the ELAB circus fundraiser at Dnipro. It was pretty good. The Ukranian beers were humongous. (e:paul) decided to speed his tooth healing with cotton candy. Dancing to Soma was pretty good but there weren't many in such a huge space. The coolest part was the full moon projection camera which took your shadows and put them on projecters inside and out of the building.

Then we came back and played street fighter. I beat Terry once with Chun Li, what what.

Throwback Thursday

Yesterday I was listening to Blümchen (die beste Künstler) with (e:paul) and was reading this post that (e:terry,35355) wrote about loving her back in 2003.

(just listen to her sing about verrückte jungs - crazy boys. she's amazing, 90's, and she'll earworm you forever)

I read a couple of his other posts and they were redonk. And the other day when (e:Mike) was over we were reading some of (e:paul)'s posts from a less bougie time (e:paul,32125).

It made me think it's pretty awesome that a journal like estrip lets you go back and see what you or someone else was like at different points in their life. Even boring shiz about food or being bored at some bar somehow ends up being fun to read. It's like a record of Buffalo - I know I always came across estrip posts on google before I even knew anyone on it. Emily's brother would see what Paul said about a restaurant before he went there. There's so much written on estrip about Buffalo that otherwise would fall to the wayside.

Seems like there are less people that post now than before. I'm interested in knowing what makes people post/not post and what would change that. Maybe we could chalk advertise again like we tried (e:joe,58289) when it doesn't rain the same afternoon. I should try to get my friends to sign up now that facebook is over.

Car share

I fucking hate having a car. I know that sounds like a garbage first world problem, but I do.

I just worked it out today that if I didn't have this lease and was able to be in the car share, I would have only spent $200 (counting the days I actually needed to drive for work) this year instead of $600, even more with the other months I took over the lease. And this is in the winter with the few times I actually had to drive. I could have probably taken transit on almost every day I drove anyway.

I barely ever drive it and still pay for it on the off chance I need it. When I get rid of this car I am going to take the money I save and do something fun with it, besides paying the Sallie Mae the bloodsucker (what could be better?).

Too bad I can't car share yet, I've had a license for less than the two years you need. Has anyone had experience with Buffalo Car Share?
