What a weekend of food
I took a picture after putting my arm down in the torotise cave that Basra dug. It is really poop filled but he seems to like that. Their poop is kind of like horse poop. It is very fibrous and haylike, and actually doesn't really smell much when it is dry but its still gross to make a nest of your own poop.
On Thursday night (e:terry) and I hit Allen Street. Here is my brother (e:mike) striking a pose, lol.
(e:terry) and I then headed over to the new creole place across from Allen Street hardware. It is only open from 6PM-2am but it is freakin; delicious. I love it.
I got an oyster poboy for $8 which was excellent. It was actually better than the clam counterpart one I had on Cape Cod (e:paul,31070)
And (e:Terry) got the muffelletta which was also really excellent.
Friday lunch I ate with (e:enknot), (e:mrdeadlier) and (e:jim) at Kibirashi. I really like their lunch special but it's honestly not as good as Kunis.
I think everyone hates it when we pay with 4 cards but it's the way of life with Direct Deposit.
On Friday evening we went to see VR divas, a show in the Buffalo Infringement Festival. It was at Hall Walls. They used some masks I made for another project to represent the characters. It was weird to see the masks out of context.
Followed by a tasty Chicken lavash wrap at Sahara Grill on Elmwood;
Then on Saturday we went to the garden walk before our party. To bad just about everyone missed the party.
The best garden on North Pearl in my option has this nice Lotus pond. Now (e:Terry) and (e:matthew) are obsessed with getting a pond. We found solar powered pumps online.
Check out this allergy coma inducing pollen ball called a blue globe thistle.
Purple is the new pink? Why did they paint the pink with that ghetto purple paintjob. The mural was much better.
After the garden walk all of our friends came of for the get together that all of our not-so-good friends missed. We ate giant clams. You can't tell how big they are in this picture but they are about the size of an adult man's fist. You can really tell on (e:jim,40289) next to (e:enknot)'s giant hand.
Why does Salmon come on cedar now? It seems like such a waste of wood.
On sunday we went to buy camping supplies for our annual nudist trip in the adirondacks (e:paul,32730) It is really my favorite week of the year mostly - so long as the weather hold up. While at the mall we ate at a place called Johnny Rockets. The prices were pretty reasonable for burgers but you have to consider that oth bacon and fries were extra.

Scientology Scientologists Buffalo, NY
All of a sudden (e:enknot) busts out with "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM YOU YOUR CRAZY PSYCHO, YOU ARE A FREAK, YOU ARE A FREAK!!"
I love it when people get in the face of religious weirdos getting in their face. She started screaming back about how he was crazy or something. I am so sick of the way those Scientology freaks on Main Street in Buffalo, New York rule the sidewalks there. Anytime I have to walk down main street I have to cross the street to avoid being harassed by them in their big yellow tent. There is a picture of it at the Bush Protest from 2004 on the news journal from the protest (e:news,29822)
I think it should be illegal for them to set up on the street the way they do. Eventually, it is going to cause an accident when someone gets hit by a car trying to avoid them by crossing or walking in the street.
He is some info about their presence in Buffalo
What is the deal with all their crosses. At first I kind of assumed they were christians of some sort but then I read this
So what is the deal with the crosses? This is their official site with pictures of their building on Main Street in Buffalo New York
Apparently, they even harass children
All I can say is that like any religious group that is secretive and close knit - they scare the fuck out me like children of the corn
I think this letter is the best all just seems so whack
UPDATE - I found this later I is pretty interesting

Canal Fest Sunday For the Fireworks
Then we arrived at canal fest. I wish I had something good to say about canalfest.
The canal is so full of shit.
The zebra muscles love it, look how they cling to the shopping cart.
I missed the republican clams, lol.
I drank the lemonade and so did (e:mike) Afterwards I looked at the lemon in my drink, it was sick.
The ferris wheel looked cool at night.
Don't they look canaltastic.
(e:mike) wants to be the spokesperson for cookinggreasepickup.com

Home Repair on Sunday
We fixed the gutters. Well, we excised the bad part and started to replace it. The part that was rusted was so full of crap.
This hat made me feel like a raver again.
Repointing is time consuming and hard but it was nice to seal the bees outs of our walls.
It is especially hard to mix the color into the concrete.

What is emo?
So it looks like emo is the new gay? Buyt I totally thought some poeple I know who are defiantely not gay, were into emo - and now I am totally confused.
So I decided to search a bit and this is what I got from youtube.
"emo stands for emotional and refers to the clique of kids that are emotional and often wear eyeliner and black clothes."
"Someone who is whiny, sensitive, can't play the guitar, buys their clothing from thrift stores, and spends the vast majority of their life on Myspace. If you want a more politically correct definition, look it up on wikipedia."
"emo mean's "Emotion" for people who have emotion's and like the dark spirit.they also often cut themselve's for pain-relif.otherwise...i have no clue."
and then my favorite comment on this one
"@ first i wuz descusted whn i saw guys kissin each othr but thn i saw someone cal dem faggots.... dnt cal peeps faggots its nt very nice! the word is gay wht if someone called u a faggot? anyway sum animals sumtimes mate wit th same sex humans just happen 2 b one of thm!"
So what is it? I realize it meant emo music (WIKIPEDIA - Emo music)
but now does it mean gay?

The First Half Of The Weekend
First we made the indian spice power. It was some powerful and pleasantly tasty stuff.
I didn't realize this pic of (e:tinypliny) in the kitchen came out so crappy. I guess we will need to take a better one next time.
Wow Chippewa is covered in gum stains. I never really noticed before. I guess people really just spit there gum out waitin gin line to go to Level and McMonkies.
I am so fascinated with this house on franklin. What happend to it? I mean what did it used to be. I wrote about it before but no one seems to have said anythign about its past. Like what are the chess tables from.
My other favorite house on Summer. They have faux slate asphalt roof.
I feel bad for the owner of this porch on Summer. It looks like it needs some serious help.
(e:matthew) and (e:terry) tried to fit through this alley on Franklin. It hate things you can't turn around in.
Neo is closing on Franklin. What the heck is gonna go there. I hope it becomes something and doesn't end up empty or yet another crappy antique shop. It would be terrible for Cafe 59 but if a Spot Coffee moved in there I think they would make a killing. Check out that car outside.
This is how (e:matthew) generally looks on the weekend.
I wanted to go to the beach today but they were closed for contamination, blah. It makes me sad that the beaches are always closed when I want to go. Then again it is better they are closed than if I got sick.
I was content with going to Zoar Valley but that was nixed too. We ended up going to Salsaritas. Ya exactly, it might as well have been lunch on monday. I really wanted to do something exercise filled and away from the city.
I hate weekends. If you think is hard to make up your mind what to do when you are single, or even in a two person relationship - just imagine how difficult it is with three people that all like completely different things. We usually just end up really mad at each other, go nowhere and don't have sex because we are angry about not deciding what to do.
Instead I thinking I am going to go to Home Depot and buy supplies so that I have something to do. I am thinking that filling the mortar gaps in the back might be fun!

A short work day
I went to Panaro's on Delaware for lunch with (e:enknot) and (e:terry). It was delicious, I don't know how I never saw it before. Plus the blond waitress we had was awesome. I would recommend that place anyday - the prices were very reasonable. I think it may be one of my new favorite places. I wish I took pictures but I forgot that I had my camera back. It is weird to have it back after it been broken and then gone for so long.
We cleanup up the yard at the rental property today. I can't believe how tall the weeds got in such a short amount of time.
There were so many daisies and other weeds.
The prickery weeds had wood like roots.
I found this weird witches broom in the backyard of the property. I wonder if my tenants made it?
It looked nice when we were done.
It looks like Medina Deli over on North and Main is almost ready. I am so excited to see something be on that corner. It has come such a long was see we did public transphere a couple years back. At that time it looked like the bombed out shell of a building.
Now the question is what will happen with the yellow mansion at 23 North. It is the last thing waiting to be redone. There has been a big sign out front that said apartments were coming soon since last season but it has remained boarded up and they haven't done any work over the entire summer which is not a good sign. I remember when (e:matthew) wanted to buy it and we took a tour with the realtor (e:paul,32592) . Man that place was disgusting.
Ridiculous Rant You Can Just Ignore
Okay, this is ridiculous - I am really not poor - but I am sad I am not going to Hutches tonight because I am "too poor". I wanted to go to Hutches with (e:imk2) and her boyfriend and (e:terry) said we are too poor because he spent all our money on pharmacy school. I know, I know - money that will turn into more money - but not right now while I want to go to Hutches. It is like the one restaurant I have never been to and everyone raves about it. After writing that I feel like someone should kill me but - damn it - I really wanted to go to Hutches. Okay, enough of that drama.

Guercios On Grant Street
I went to Guercios with (e:terry) this afternoon to get some fresh veggies and fruit so I could get well.
The prices are so great here and the selection is awesome.
I love capers, they had so many varieties.
Look how huge these capers are!
This guy, I assume guercio, looks just like my nonno, it is unreal.
They had fair trade etxra virgin olive oil at really fair prices.
Ok, this is clearly not for resale, they didn't even bother with yellow ink in the print job.

Dave Doyle's Retirement Party
I invited my co-workers (e:jim) and (e:enknot) and their signfy-os - sorry everyone else but this was a family affair and not an estrip party - sorry (e:leetee)
This video says it all. In Dave's his daughter Erin gives a speech about his commitment to their family and what an awesome dad, dave is. It might make you cry if you are the emotional type.
Dave Doyle and his daughters Erin and Crescent
Dave Doyle's daughters and wife Lynn - who organized the party
Dave Doyle and his retirement cake
The cake gave everyone smurf tongues
Dave got a GPS navigation system - so now we won't get lost on trips anymore. I guess (e:terry) is out of a job.
Everyone looking for basra
(e:enknot) and megan and the almost ready baby ?
(e:enknot) and (e:matthew)
(e:jim) and (e:james)
We got our chiminea going and burned the rest of october surprise debris
