Historic Allentown

I would have never thought this building on Franklin would be up for a redo but its being converted into apartments now. Is it time for the 60s to be historic?

It's so weird in an ugly way - kind of like a mini city court building. The plus of having an apartment in it is you won't have to see the outside. I could see it being super modern and cool on the inside though if they do it right.

Soup night

(e:yesthatcasey) and I have been trying to pick up cooking again by making dinner with (e:terry). This week we made burritos on Tuesday, and a creamy potato vegetable tonight.

I think now that I'm limited to how much overtime I work I should be able to make dinner more. I want to be a much better cook. Chopping skills have improved, ask Terry.

Days off

I've been off for almost a week now, in between the end of my contract and the start of my full time job at Roswell. I thought I would have actually tried and taken the time off, unlike my last break - but I've been working on other programming projects instead. Today I finally found out I start on Monday. Woop. I'm super pumped to see how this goes.

Being home during the day is pretty boring, since I'm the only one off, so today I went and worked at (e:terry)'s office.

At least it's been snowy - I don't feel like I'm burning sunlight.

Finally snowed

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.

Court Street bridge

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?

Night out in Rochester

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.

Rave long and Prosper in Rochester

We headed up with (e: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.

Last day in marketing

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 (e:Paul) anymore - working with him has been the best job I've ever had. Even the 2am nights, sorry (e: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.

Broken screen

Tonight I accidentally left my computer on the floor while I cooked a stir fry for dinner, and (e: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.
