I am at (e:robins)'s house and according to the commencement pamphlet I graduated. Maybe I can just hang that on my wall.



The house on prospect needed mowing. One tenant hasn't paid the rent yet and she is out of town now.



The sky was beautiful on Prospect for a minute.

I went to Hayes fish market in Kenmore (MAP TO: 3279%20DELAWARE%20AVENUE) today as part of my year long quest for the rock shrimp source. There is also one on Harlem Road (MAP TO: 3985%20HARLEM%20ROAD). The fish monger told me it wasn't the season but when I asked when it was he smiled and said he didn't know, lol. If any of you know where I can buy these, besides at a restaurant, please tell me.

Anyways, the place is also a fried seafood extravaganza. It smelled so yummy. I find it bizarre that my seafood dependent mother had not found this out before or at least not told me. I got the fried shrimp dinner.

Okay three salmon meals in 48 hours is excessive.

Who would have thought that such tiny little squirrels could bark so loud. We have been giving them free reign of the house and they are reverting to their jungle mentality I think.

Just last night at like 6am there was a squirrel trying to get under my pillow and then running all over our beds.

Work has been really fun. I have something pretty neat I am working on but I will talk about it more after I decide if I can get a patent for it.

I also have a college degree and am not interested in a mortgage from an offshore bank or a casino account.

I open my mailbox and bam: your dick is your weak issue because it is so small.

I feel bad for all the guys out there with little dicks that get the same spam mail I get. I must make them feel really bad. Sometime I get like 5 a day, I mean they end up in the junkmail box, but they exist - what a waste of digital space. Same for diet spam.

I wonder who the people are that make spam mail a profitable business. I mean who believe there is a "creme" that would make your dick bigger. Unless they are meaning some sort of temporary bigger, like with lube ;)

"I was originally amazed that the first two pills I took of Hoodia 920+, almost immediately took my cravings away. Now 4 weeks later, 3 belt holes later, I have become an advocate for this awesomely powerful, natural supplement!"

If those people really knew me, they would know that I would die if I lost 3 belt loops.

On another note, my father calls me at work today desperate to install some work program for his business. He tells me th new computer I bought him doesn't use the kind of floppy disk he has. I tell him I got them a usb floppy drive and he can use that. He says, "I tried but the disk doesn't fit."

Wasn't a 3 1/2 incher- called a floppy but not floppy at all


I think to myself. OMG, this cannot be a 5 1/4 inch disk, a disk that actually was floppy. Anyone else remember the hole punch to make them double sided?



So I ask him to get out a ruler and measure it. I think, what the hell can this be. Maybe this ancient piece of crap?



He tells me it is about 4.75 inches. I think, "Some sort of proprietary disk from the past that I never witnessed?" So then he tells me our old computer had a drive for it and I think. Alright dad, "I don't believe there is this other kind of floppy disk. What does it look like?" He says, "it's shinny!" It was a freakin' CD. I told him to press the button on the front of the computer to open up the drive and that worked. I have true respect for all the poeple that work at technical help desks. I think it would dirve me crazy.

It was simply a CD, I guess it is just as floppy as a 3 1/2 incher.

No wonder it will cost $5400 to paint this house. Seems like the winter was really hard on the remaining paint. The front looks extra crappy because I actually hung out the window and scapped it in the fall thinking I was going to paint it.

I hope people don't think I'm a slum lord. I guess it will be fixed soon enough.

Does anyone know anything about a (WIKIPEDIA - Geiger counter)? I really need one for a mapping site of radioactive places in buffalo. I am just so damn curious where it is radioactive and where it isn't and moblogging seems like the way to do this right now. I figure I will use an interface based on the interface seeing as no one is using it. This is defiantely a hint to click on the rememberbuffalo link right below the gather link on the right.

Seems useful and scary yet exciting. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about geiger counters other than I want one that is digital.



This nice USB one that works with mac and PC comes with a glow in the dark radioactive glass bead.



What freaks me out is that most of them come with a radioactive glass bead to test with. Just where or where do you store that? In a lead box. It is seriously the stuff kryptoniite is made of. Maybe this is a bad idea?

Vaseline Glass Test Source
Need a safe way to test out your geiger counter? Try our Vaseline glass bead. Vaseline glass is a type of glass with a small amount of uranium oxide added, which makes it glow under ultraviolet light (also called depression glass). This also makes it slightly radioactive. With the GM-10, we get about 200 CPM with the bead directly in front of the detector window, or about 0.2 mR/hr.



The bead is available for just $9.99, and may be ordered online or you can order by mail We're having a special right now, you can get 5 beads for just $39.99!

But why the casino ads? I posted about the artvoice best of buffalo award on (e:news,835) . When I got home I went to checkout buffalopundit's site to see what he wrote about winning the artvoice award. Holy crap, giant casino advertisements. I never got pop up ads visiting buffalopundit.com before. Casino pop up ads?

At first I though maybe I had a virus but no other site does it. Whenever I have no cookies and visit the site, I see full screen casino pop up ads.
The little pop in ad was okay and the banner flashing advertise here



but then came these. Maybe he is just trying to take advatage of winning the artvoice award.

The world of scented plastic has a new united front. If you don't believe me check out Record you own strawbeery dance here.

They have combined strawberry shortcake and my little pony into one sweet world of narcotically strong plastic fullfillment. I met a straweberry shortcake at the Salvation Army recently and she still smelled after living through the 80s and 90s. It makes me wonder what kind of toxic compounds make her have such an exceptional "half-life"



Last night at (e:robins) party I though there was this bowl of ashes in the food area. Turned out to be a bowl fill of zauberpilze. I ate a handfull figuring why not, it isn't often they have these kind of snacks materialize.

It ended up being the strangest evening. First of all never watch the Chuckie movie before such an adventure. I spent the entire night thinking about chuckie. At one point I convinced myself the only thing that could stop him was strawberry shortcakes sweet scented plastic smell. In my dream I would see evil chuckie and everything was lik black and red and burned. Then a my little pony would ride in with sparkle glitter and stars trailing behind her and a strawberry shortcake doll on her back. Her strawberry smell would cover everything and my dream would return to a natural green scheme which was much more calming.

Saw (e:enknot) for a bit and we taked about new rss like feeds that are pure javascript. We bored everyone but ourselves with out computer talk. Frankly, it was some of the most interesting conversation of the night. I bet you will see more javascript feeds.

There was tons of crazy teacher to student flirt action which was so bizarre considering it all started with a conversation about Mary Kay Letourneau (WIKIPEDIA - Mary_Kay_Letourneau), the teacher with the 13 year old boyfriend that ended up in jail and latter married him.

I had a someone confess their crush on me.

Hate me because I am white and middle class
On the way walking home from (e:robins) there was this increasingly large group of black people that was walking ahead of us. It started out with two guys double riding on a bike but they got off and went slow right next to us, then more and more of them gathered.

As more and more of them gathered I would have normally avoided it (any group of ten people - even hippies) by myself but (e:terry) and (e:matthew) just trudged through. Of course this caused a commotion. The people patted us down to scope and size us up, all in the guise of a hug for the sabres victory which I had no idea about.

I think the main dude was trying to show off in front of the ladies. I think they really wanted to beat up (e:terry) because of his overwhelming whiteness but I think the guy realized he wasn't a little guy when he patted him down. It was the first time in my life I would have been ready to fight, even though they still woud have taken me down. That felt good.

It is kind of ridiculous that I have to be threatended walking home just because I am white and not poor.

Usually, this kind of stuff doesn't happen to me so much alone because I am not so white. But mix (e:terry) and (e:matthew) in and it gets a lot crazier. It's like when I was in Mexico with (e:terry) - we were the target of every scam artist and prostitute.

It made me realize that is exactly why people live in the suburbs. I mean this (e:paul,692) kind of stuff doesn't happen in Kenmore but you do get stuff like this (e:zobar,44) that would drive me just as insane.

Stop hugging my in the name of intimidation
I am really sick of strangers trying to hug me to find out what i have on me. It is such a perversion of a peaceful move. It kind of makes me want a tazer. This one night some guy at the subway stop at Utica and Main put his arm around my neck and talked for like 10 minutes about how he wanted more money for beer but he didn't know where to get it, insinuating that I had it. Anytime I tried to move he would just tighten his arm a bit untill he finally realized I really didn't have anything but a subway token with me and let me go. That was before the gym. I think now it wouldn't happen so much because I would have just punched the drunk in the face. It is precisely why I will not live on Prospect though and why the houses on Normal Street cost about 12k and always will.

I just don't understand what makes people act that way. There is no way I would do the same thing to poor people walking through my neighborhood. But honestly, I can't just pretend like it is just a economic class thing, it is totally racist that they target us. We are totally targeted because we are white. I have noticed the same thing on elmwood. It used to be that poor people asked me for money. But now it often hapens that black guy's in nicer clothes than I have harass me for money and get angry when I say I don't have any. What the hell is up with that?

Before the pink (e:robin,518) there was (e:robin)'s thesis show. It was at Hallwalls in the basement of Church di Franco.
