We don't have the 7 feet that the southtowns do but we finally got some. Now that I don't have to commute 20 miles through it I find snow much cooler again. Linwood and Allentown especially look so peaceful in the snow. Everything is so muffled and I love seeing so much fewer cars.

Don't cross @paul. Not without a web presence.

Today we continued our tour with a vosit to tbe court Street bridge, where Rochester used TK have a subway run across the river. Now its a creepy, debris filled cave. So cool. I'm not one for most grafitti but the kind in there was so well done.

In the bridge you can climb on all sort of walls and look out over downtown. The car traffic of the bridge echoes above you. The further you go, the darker and drippier the cave gets. I feel like so many awesome events could happen in here.

It reminds me of the Buffalo downtown tunnels that I still want to visit. anyone know a good entrance?

last night we headed out for a tour of the night people with Masumi. After a Lebanese dinner, complete with Casio midi music, we went out. we started at a hipster bar for a drink before moving on to a bear bar. Then we ended up at Tilt, Rochester's Marcella's. They all seemed nicer than the Buffalo equivalents but maybe it was because we were playing tourist.

At Tilt we got a whole bunch more dancing in.

We headed up with @YesThatCasey to visit Masumi and go to a Rave at the California Brew Haus. The venue was so strange but the show was amazing. I actually felt old compared to some of the raver kids there. But it was nice - we even got invited to the after party at a cute boy's house. I danced my tail off, especially when I wore the bear mask.


There's a couple happy hardcore raves coming up at Milkies of all places. maybe they'll be fun.

Yesterday was the last day of my contract in marketing. I start in clinical IT next Wednesday. I'm so bummed that I won't be on the same team as @paul anymore - working with him has been the best job I've ever had. Even the 2am nights, sorry @terry.

It's still exciting to start a full time job and work on new projects. Gonna try and take IT by storm and learn as fast as I did in marketing. And maybe we'll work together again one day.

Tonight I accidentally left my computer on the floor while I cooked a stir fry for dinner, and @terry also accidentally stepped on it. :( The patterns in the cracked panel make for some kind of crazy artwork.

I was going to program, but now I feel so thrown off. Is it weird that I empathize with an old Dell?

At least the new LCD panel is only $70, and should be here by Saturday. An old low res external monitor works until then. Still sucks.

@paul and I met up with @terry for lunch at the cafe inside the Doubletree hotel. It's right next door to the building we work in.

The waitress was super nice. I got a hummus wrap, and lentil soup. The wrap was good, the soup was alright. Paul and I split an order of mozzarella sticks that were terribly amazing.




Strange wallpaper - it was covered in letters and just said "words" and"letters".

Trinity Towers installed new lights on their buildings when they were doing work last month. They're so bright, even without the porch light its almost day outside. I wonder if this is against code. I want to contact them about it, and if they don't respond I'll ask the city.

@YesThatCasey, @paul, @steve and I took advantage of the warm day to ride around the cemetery. There was a lot of picture taking and meta-picture taken of that picture taking.

Afterwards we rode up through the park, through North Buffalo to walk Midnight. I don't think he expected to see four people there for him.
