Remuddled or Original

·

I am sure this place looked much nicer when it was red brick. The thing I wonder most is, what was up with the front entrance. Clearly the top stone appears fancy but then the inner brickwork which narrows the passage is so ugly. What's the deal?

a. Simply a remudle added onblater to support it?
b. It just looked better in red brick?
c. It never looked good?

Parking on the lawn

·

@matthew talked on the phone with the warden from the church last night. The guy sounded surprised people parked on the lawn. Then this morning as I left for work - another car on the lawn.

Who the fuck thinks it's normal to park on the lawn in an urban setting? Especially one with plenty of free street parking and even a spot in the driveway right next to it.

It is so trashy looking, not that the grounds at the church can look much trashier at this point with all the grass ripped up from the plow and the leaves from last year having destroyed the remaining grass.

Internet Issue?

·

Weird, our internet went down for like 20 minutes. Well not all connectivity - but all domain resolution on each computer at once. They are all trusting the router, which in turn uses time warner's DNS. Then it suddenly came back up. The weird thing is amazon and buffalo rising worked the whole time.

Primary DNS Server: 24.92.226.11
Secondary DNS Server: 24.92.226.12

Maybe I should switch back to opendns.

I've fucking had it

·

I joke woke up at 7am to have the "doctor" take my $20, touch my throat and tell me my tongue looks freaking normal. It does not look normal. Then she said it might just be retaining the color of food I have eaten. I had to leave or I was going to kill her.

After a really stressful evening it turned an even prettier orange.

orange tongue continued

·

Tomorrow I have a doctors appt. No one seems to be able to figure it out.

Symptoms: orange tongue followed by spots that appear small and pink and grow larger. The spots never have orange.

Doctor thought geographic tongue but I can't find anything connecting geographic tongue to orange tongue.

Eventually the pink areas grow large and the tongue looks like new. Then it stops, several weeks go by and the cycle starts over. The orange never goes away.

East side goodness

·

We actually parked our car near my work and walked to the cosmopolitan art gallery over the Cherry St bridge. I think I might just walk next time.

wagyu beef

·

I did not by this:
1. Because it is ridiculously expensive.
2. Because I am reducing my protein intake.

But seriously how does it cost $34? What does it taste like to be that expensive?

According to Wikipedia

Wagyū (和牛) refers to several breeds of cattle genetically predisposed to intense marbling and to producing a high percentage of oleaginous unsaturated fat. The meat from wagyū cattle is known worldwide for its marbling characteristics, increased eating quality through a naturally enhanced flavor, tenderness and juiciness, and thus a high market value.
