Riding Sweaty

(e:lilho) says it's like the gym equivalent of riding dirty. She is also guilty of riding glossy and riding sticky. At least she says so.

(e:lilho) and I saw probably the hottest guy I have ever seen besides matt and terry at the gym. I got to see much more of him than she did as turned out his locker was right behind mine.

It is pouring so much right now and we are trapped at spot downtown. I am drinking a meal in a glass.

Wandering Around

The snow is finally melting at the 24. Everything is muddy and all the bulbs are blooming. Rumour has it there are lots of flowers planted at our house.

Last night (e:theecarey) made pizza.

She even made gluten free pizza for (e:matthew)

I love watching dirty snow melt. It's hard to imagine how much dirt can be collected in snow.

Went to Kunis To Go

on lexington for lunch with (e:enknot). I ordered lots of tasty food. Tony got the Bento box, I will let him tell you how yummy it was. Next time I am getting one.

They had those amazing sour candies I bought in San Francisco when visiting (e:twisted)

What is up with the design of this house on North Pear. Do you think it looked better before it was super sided.

Stardust returns to dust

I thought this might mean something to (e:terry) - growing up in Vegas and all. Stardust is no more.

Neosporin Induced Insanity

I had this cut in my mouth and decided to put neosporin on it despite the for external use only warning. I had the craziest most vivid dreams ever. I wonder if it is related. I could easily become a neosporin junky if it is related.

50 Court Street and Kick Snow

I went over downtown with (e:matthew) so that he could take pictures of the buildings in fog (e:matthew,793)

Looks like a giant new building is going to be erected at 50 court street

which is way better than that nasty parking lot there now. The website is not so great. In fact, none of the links work in the main navigation, if you click the development link.

Their mockup on the sign outside is confusing because they have the Pearl st sign in the wrong spot. It should go Franklin then Niagara, not pearl and then Niagara St. I bet someone got paid a lot to make that design and I bet that they spent a lot to print them. You think someone would have checked the street names. I hope someone scrutinizes the building plans better than the media.

Here is the same spot currently.

They are taking the paint off the brick building that used to be club heat, and then was like ten other bars named after metals which then became tantra or something. That place is destined to never succeed. Maybe the paint is what was causing it to fail. The guy doing it, is doing it brick by brick with a blow torch.

First some paint removal liquid is applied.

And then he hits it with the blow torch.

I got some of my weather agression out on this ice formation.

Hurray, a fourth of my backyard is now snow free!

Sunny side of the street

I have more to talk about but I thought I would remark upon how great the weather is. I figure you can best tell by the crispness of my shadow.

Another Media Dump From Downtown

Last night, (e:lilho) and I took the subway to and walked home from the downtown Buffalo Athletic Club. Now that is dedication to being healthy (and to eye candy - which there was none of) It was so freakin' freezing I cannot even describe the feeling of really cold wind blowing down main street on a dark winter's night.

On the way home we had brought no money and had to walk. We couldn't even stop anywhere because we didn't even brings cards. It was strange to feel like I had nothing even if it was just during a 20 minute walk home to the mansion. I do not like the feeling of not having access to food money at all.

We jealously peaked in the window at spot and starred at all the mactoppers with yummy treats.

Today I made up for it by going with my work buddies and (e:megan) over to Chris' Deli at 395 Delaware Avenue. They were packed to the point we waited but it was totally worth it. I have never seen such tasty sandwiches.

I got the jerk turkey.

Everyone else had yummy stuff too.

When we got back jon had a blue screen of death on windows XP. It was so sad. I hate windows. In fact, I hate it so much that today I installed cygwin

so I can have a bash shell on my windows box at work. No more stupid "dir" I was so sick of typing "ls" and having the computer say no.

Does anyone else have a secret love of kicking the crusty june snow? It is that part snow, part asphalt and cement chip stuff that never goes away until way late after winter is over. It is basically dirty snow that is combined with so many particles that it acts as a sort of adhesive between them. It is hard as rocks and when it breaks it cracks like glass sometimes. It is really fun to kick it.

This pole didn't like winter very much. Imagine if your skin peeled that much from weather exposure.

Emptying the Camera Out

Roswell uses way to much freakin' salt. I guess everyone does, and everyone is afraid of being responsible about someone falling but what about the responsibility to the environment.

We had another fun experience with the bubble maker in the house. I cannot wait to get myself a computer with video editing capabilities.

Thanks, (e:ladycroft) - I got my birthday gift from you via Carrey.

(e:hodown,332) - the post about her ex with the everything box made me think about one of my everything rooms - which contained this picture of me in 1999 when I was still cute. It is amazing how many everything rooms you can fill when you have them.

I also found a good pic of (e:terry)

And I found this picture of (e:jacob) from the late 90s early 2000s kissing someone else we know.

Today was the last day of (e:lilho) having her car. It was fun while it lasted.

I see these bumper stickers everywhere. What is up with the peace bridge. I think we should start a new campaign to just knock it down, lol.

I'm putting our bed on craigslist

(e:matthew) was looking at houses online and saw this one on Summer. A bit out of our price range at $699,900. I find it ridiculous that the taxes are supposedly assessed at $5,544.00. That means that they are asking way more than they bought it for. As an example, our taxes on our $200,000 house are the same. The taxes on a $700k house are more like $17K.

I wonder what happend with them. Maybe they just were flipping it but it turns out their bed is also for sale on craigs list for $7000. (e:matthew) found it during his furniture sleuthing
