Neon Thai Buffet Sucks

This food is from Neon Thai Buffet on Niagara Falls Blvd. I would say it is as disgusting as it looks after I ate it. The reason I took the picture in this state is that i didn't want anyoen to think that it was maybe even good. They barely had any food, I am still hungry - it cost me around $10 and the food they had was not very hot. It appeared they were cooking as people came in to try and keep waste down and save money, but what really happend is they didn't have enough hot food that tasted good.

Have you ever been to a buffet where most of the food was gone during the middle of the Buffet hours. Wh

This is what it looks like to be optimizing a database a 2am. I am so excited about the new optimizations I paln on working on tonight ;( And moving the server over at Artvoice.

Nikon Camera Wireless Post

This post was sent directly from a Nikon camera.

Today (e:lilho) and I ate at Brodo with (e:terry) We had intended on eating at Globe Market but it was to busy at lunch time.

They have Ikea silverware that I really liked. I didn't know Ikea even made silverware.

It was so sunny and warm out on my way to work. I love global warming and all that it has to offer.

(e:enknot) and (e:terry) played Warcraft the card game.

Saddam Is Dead

Is the war over now? I wonder if we will ever witness the execution of an American Leader in our lifetimes. I am sure the iraqis never thought they would see Saddam Die.

I wonder what will happen with Iraq now?

Steaks, Wigs and Being Sick

I am like 10 posts behind I have collected a whole lot of media including an extended photoshoot of (e:lilho) but I got so caught up in work and evrything else I never posted it. Then I got sick.

I first noticed my nose just kept dripping but I felt otherwise fine, then I had fever and sore throat and coughing and stomach sickness.

I really hope no one at Roswell got my germs because I ate in he cafeteria yesterday.

It's so sad when you see the people with face masks and you know how sick they must be.

I found this wig on the way to work the other day. I wonder what it's story is. At first I thought maybe there was a body attached but there wasn't enough space in the leaves.

(E:hodown) sent m the largest box of frozen food from the omaha company that I hve ever seen. Steaks, burger, twice baked potatoes, bacon wraped steak, and crAb stuffed sole. Yum. It was so nice. Unfortunately, it came to roswell and I don't have an oven. I think this will be the impetus to buy the oven. It was weird to pick food up in refrigerated medical shipping. So I decided to run it home. When I got home I realized my wallet was missing and I couldn't get in the house. I had to have had it when I left because I need it to scan out of Roswell.

I knew (e:matthew) was home so I rang the bell like 5000 times but he couldn't here it from the attic. So I started to panic. Leave the food and it will get stolen. Forget about the wallet and it will get stolen. I decided to leave the food in the back but by the time I got back up from matt was there and I brought the food in. Apparently, five minutes I too long for a wallet on main street. It was gone when I got back.

I ran up and down my path from work to home twice. Probably, how I got sick but the wLlet was nowhere. Then today I got it back in the mall sans cash which is fine with me. Thanks whoever returned it.

Cremey Goodness and Mobile Phobics

I left work early to take (e:hodown) to the airport. I got clinique crème from her for christmas. I know it sounds so fagtastic but really I think any man could enjoy this unscented smooth crème and all the pleasures it can offer.

Positively Lame Ass
On another note, Positively Main Street on elmwood sucks. They ban mobile from their junk store for everyone except doctors. I used to spend a couple hundred there each Christmas but not anymore.

It's 2007, that is ridiculous people are going to have to just learn to integrate other people's mobile tech into their space.

It seems really weird that a small junk store like that would ever put limits on the customers.

Why does rack of lamb cost $44.00 uncooked at the coop?

jenks writes at 12:33:51 12/27/06 - Comment #13972: 1: that yellow clinque cream is awesome
2: I can understand no cellphones in restaurants, movies, etc- but a store? whatever. Just say you're a doctor. What are they going to do, ask for ID? LAME. Maybe I'll go in and just call all sorts of people and talk about random non-medical shit.

leetee writes at 06:56:48 12/26/06 - Comment #13969: Over the summer, i was in Positively Main Street looking for a gift for my friend, Mark. I ended up finding something small in there and i was a bit surprised to find out that they didn't even have a cash register. Been many moons since i have had to have my credit card imprinted and gotten a hand written recipt...

metalpeter writes at 05:57:53 12/26/06 - Comment #13965: There is a store near me that I just blanked on where they cell food near latinas and they have a no cell phone Policy. I think it is actually a good idea. The reason is a lot of people don't know how to use them. 1. They talk all loud 2. They talk about stuff in public that I don't want to hear 3. They argue with someone on the other end 4. It is really rude to talk to someone when at the register . It used to be that when you went to a little store you looked around and might run into some you know or just start talking to some one. Oh yeah it also keeps out those people who think they are the most important person in the world types often now seen with an earpiece. The part that I think is bullshit is that they allow doctors to have cells. So they have this policy and a reason for it but then they say that they can waive the moral reasons for it, for doctors. That basicly means they have no code at all. I'm not aganist cell phones but there are aspects, like them going off during a movie or a meating that are negative.

Buffalo Rising

What is going on with Buffalo Rising these days? I seems like it only gets slower and slower on my broadband connection. I hate the way it loads in chunks and takes so long. Sometimes it takes almost 30 seconds to load a single page. I am going to inspect it more today and see if I can figure out what is causing the delay.

Chaos Erupts Inside North Buffalo Movie

Chaos Erupts Inside North Buffalo Movie Theater -
As quoted from Channel 4 news

(Buffalo, NY, December 26, 2006) - Chaos erupted inside a North Buffalo movie theater Monday night. It was the scene at the Regal Cinemas on Elmwood Avenue around nine o'clock Monday night.

Police say several fights broke out involving dozens of teenagers.

It apparently began in both the lobby area and inside several theatres, and then quickly spilled outside...

Sounds like the regal is going to go the way of the disco theater that used to be across the street.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph Google Kangaroo

I think the google logo in reference to (e:theecarey,347) is in fact Jesus, Mary and Joseph as kangaroos. I think making it kangaroos makes it somehow removed from being a true manger scene but I think that is what it is. A pseudo manger scene.

On another note, who knows more about the etheopian war with somalia. According to google news, ethiopia ( a christian nation) attacked Somalia (an islamic nation) with fighter jets. Where do you think ethiopia got fighter jets from? The last thing I remember about ethiopia is that they couldn't even feed their own people.

oda writes at 03:27:28 12/26/06 - Comment #13955: i lived with a family of refugees from somalia when i was 13. they left somalia because their land was taken over by ethiopia and there was a war going on. they fled to the u.s., only to find that they couldn't stay here as immigration had already tightened in the mid to late eighties, so they went to canada.
they stayed with us in the meantime. the only somalian i remember is mag-a-a, what's your name?
i came home from summer camp one day to find a family i didn't know in my house. they didn't speak english and didn't understand my spanish (i knew they were african, but i figured i'd try anyway...) then i walked upstairs to find that there were more children in my bedroom and i was moved in to share a room with my sister. only the guy spoke english and the woman was about 9 months pregnant with baby number 6. interesting experience living with them.

mike writes at 05:45:57 12/25/06 - Comment #13950: i think it is very manger like! Totally the manger scene through kangaroos!

joshua writes at 05:26:34 12/25/06 - Comment #13948: The thing about the kangaroo, etc. - there is no correlation as far was what I see and I am absolutely, 100% positive that the search engine wanted to do something festive that was relatively religion neutral.

Ethiopia and Somalia have been at war, on and off, for the past 40 years. It doesn't particularly have anything to do with religion although on some level I'm sure that is a motivating factor. For years they have been disputing land acquisitions. A problem with Somalia is that there really isn't an effective central government... as far as Somali people are concerned there can be no effective central government unless this government takes a militant stance towards occupation of what they believe is Somali land by other countries - Ethiopia and Kenya included. Historically there has been major, major animosity between these two countries.

Under British colonialism, a segment of land between Somalia and Ethiopia was controlled by the British and subsequently was given via a treaty to Ethiopia. Somalia disputes the legitimacy of the treaty, so there you go. Most reports that I have read on the subject generally put the origin of the hostility on Somalia but I think its hard to be positive, but in the end it doesn't particularly matter because just like the Israeli/Palestinian conflict I don't believe that there will be a peaceful solution to what is going on in the horn of Africa either. They hate each other and that is the bottom line.

As far as the fighter jets, etc. goes - it wouldn't particularly surprise me if Ethiopia has jets while having a major humanitarian problem. We are seeing that exact scenario in North Korea, and historically much of Africa, just like Latin America, has been run by military juntas and/or dictators who rarely have given a concern about whether or not their people can feed themselves.

Ajay is correct that most of the war technology used by these countries is Soviet based, as is most of the weaponry, etc. throughout most of Asia and 'rogue' states as well. In fact most of the weapons circulated around the world are of Soviet origin. So much so that the American military has previously modified the M-16 so that could accept both American and Soviet munitions since often on the field of battle they scavenge the munitions of the enemy as they move.

naturephotos writes at 04:43:44 12/25/06 - Comment #13946: Not much to know about the latest Ethiopian war since it is pretty new. But Ethiopia's neighbor and arch enemy is Eretrea and Eretrea supports the Islamic forces in Somalia which is the opposite side that Ethiopia supports. Eretrea was a part of Ethiopia and fought a long civil war to get independence. I think they had two wars after that, the first Ethiopia lost but the more recent one Ethiopia won big time. This is all from memory so if my facts are off, sorry bout that!

jenks writes at 03:38:44 12/25/06 - Comment #13943: carolinian i hope that is a joke b/c if you know that kind of trivia I am a little frightened. :)

carolinian writes at 01:38:35 12/25/06 - Comment #13942: Actually, the Kangaroo is a well-recognized ancient symbol of the sacred feminine, the red bow represents the sangreal bloodline, and John the baptist had a well-known hatred of anything Australian. The artist is implicitly hinting that the female kangaroo is actually Mary Magdolyn, the male kangroo is Jesus, and the baby kangaroo is their descendant who is currently on display in a French museum.

ajay writes at 01:32:56 12/25/06 - Comment #13940: Added later: here's a page on Ethiopian military: :::link:::

ajay writes at 01:31:58 12/25/06 - Comment #13938: IIRC, the USSR was the biggest arms supplier to Ethiopia.

The poor 3rd-world nations were big customers of Soviet arms, because unlike the Americans, Soviet stuff is designed to be used in harsh conditions with minimal maintenance. Case in point: the AK47. Even the MiG fighters and the Mi-xx helicopters are built like tanks.

uncutsaniflush writes at 12:42:47 12/25/06 - Comment #13936: I don't see anything manger or Christ-like in the Google logo you posted. I just see a happy kangaroo family. But that's just me, if people see a manger and Jesus, Mary and Joseph in it, who am I to disagree? Graphics and logos are open to interpretation by the viewer.
