Random Buffalo Things
Today we went to lunch at Kuni's on The go over on Lexington. The food was delicious as usual. Outside the Coca Cola truck parked to drop off a beverage delivery. Check out the rusty propane tank on the truck. It looks like maybe it could use a safety inspection?!
Here is a pic of Megan standing in front of our house after lunch with (e:jima) nd (e:enknot) today.
You can see the moving truck of our new roommate who is moving in today. I hope this works out and he doesn't eat all our food, lol unlike nameless bitch our old roommate.
People ask me why I am not so fond of the sky mansion building that is supposed to be going up on Gates circle. Well the reason is these two towers down the street from the proposed location. I am sure they looked oh so sheik when the were first be erected but now they look like horrible anachronisms. I doubt glass and chrome exteriors will look modern in the "Real Future"
(e:hodown) and (e:lilho) 's ex step sister, Jessica Magleietto, is now running for office in the Delaware District of Buffalo. That is so awesome - she is just about (e:lilho) 's age. At first I just assumed it was someone with the same name but then i saw this billboard on the corner of Delaware and West Delevan. I hope she wins.

Enknot and Megans Baby Shower
Here is (e:enknot) with his mommy.
Here are some other people
Jeremy Jungels was there. He is great. Buffalo is so small it is amazing how everywhere I go I end up know so many people.
(e:matthew) won the name guessing game. He picked Fern. I wonder if they would really name it fern. He won like $35 which makes him a winner at the last two party games he played.

Another Mac keyboard
I can't believe the big box they ship in. It makes no sense because it is not filled with padding, just a big empty box with the keyboard inside.
The second one was even bigger.- which is totally ridiculous.
So I asked the cleaning lady about where I can recycle the cardboard and she say they just throw all the cardboard in the dumpster. She even offered to do it for me. I think I am going to have to look into this soon because I can't believe a place as big as Roswell Park would not recycle cardboard.

New York Record Retieval, Inc Scam
I love how they add the
RE: ERIE COUNTY CLERK
as though it has anything to do with the Erie county clerk.
Surprisingly, there is very little information about it being a scam accept from this warning from the Westchester Country clerks office In fact, there is nothing about them and Erie county, maybe this is new here.
"No Westchester County homeowner needs to pay an excessive fee to obtain a certified copy of their deed," cautioned Idoni. "And homeowners should not be made to feel that they need a certified copy of a document which has been properly recorded in our office." Idoni continued, "Deeds are recorded by my staff and then returned to the party who has recorded them. In most cases, this is the attorney for the new homeowner."
Idoni and his staff became aware of these letters in recent days as the result of calls and emails from residents around the County. They urge Westchester residents to know the facts about obtaining a certified copy of their deed. "Westchester County homeowners can always obtain a certified copy of their deed from our office for the cost of only $5.00 for up to five pages, plus $1.00 for each additional page," stated Idoni. "And residents should know that if their deed was filed in this office, it has been recorded and remains valid whether or not the homeowner has a certified copy of that deed in their possession."

Balsamic Japanese Beatle Salad
20 minutes later he was draggign himself out of the salad and up the wooden spoon. We put him back outside but he was really vinegar coated.
On a side note (e:mike) got glasses, he can finally tell the difference between a log and a duck.
I have been working on this one project at work so much that I have about a weeks worth of overtime accrued. Hopefully, the week of sept 1 will be fun and free.

Buffalo and Population
(WIKIPEDIA - megalopolis)
A megalopolis is defined as an extensive metropolitan area or a long chain of roughly continuous metropolitan areas in the United States and Canada. The term was first used in the United States by Jean Gottmann in 1957, to describe the huge urban area along the Eastern seaboard of the U.S. from Boston, Massachusetts to Washington, D.C. ...A megalopolis is also frequently a megacity, or a metropolitan area with a total population in excess of 10 million people.
which lead me to the definition of a megacity (WIKIPEDIA - Megacity) where I learned
In 2000, there were 18 megacities - conurbations such as Tokyo, Mexico City, Bombay, Sao Paulo and New York City - that have populations in excess of 10 million inhabitants. Greater Tokyo already has 35 million, more than the entire population of Canada.
By 2025, according to the Far Eastern Economic Review, Asia alone will have at least 10 hypercities, those with 20 million or more, including Jakarta (24.9 million people), Dhaka (25 million), Karachi (26.5 million), Shanghai (27 million) and Bombay (with a staggering 33 million).[9] Lagos has grown from 300,000 in 1950 to an estimated 15 million today, and the Nigerian government estimates that city will have expanded to 25 million residents by 2015.[10] Chinese experts forecast that Chinese cities will contain 800 million people by 202
Buffalo
Which got me thinking about Buffalo's (WIKIPEDIA - Buffalo,_New_York) and it's population. I knew that it was somewhere around 300,000 but wasn't sure on actual figures. It was fantastic to see it as a chart. It is interesting to see we have returned to our late 1890's population level. Think about that. While people in Tokyo are living packed in at 35 million in their greater metropolitan area we only have around a million in Western New York.
Some people probably think that is depressing but think it great. Just think about how much more space we have.
On another note, I went for a walk down elmwood today while picking up a baby gift for (e:enknot) at Treehouse and noticed that all the stores have either shut down or changed into new stores. It is amazing how different it is. It makes me wonder if anything can really survive there, if the "village" is actually doing well, or if all of the new vilage talk is just hype.
I was amazed to see that Stache moved from that little downstairs store front near the elmwood village apartments between Highland and Lexington to the half timber storefront house near Lafayette and elmwood right by Shoe Fly, kind of across from the Coop. I think it is the first time someone survived that location and then moved on up. Good for them.

Estate Sales - Third Journal in Ten min
I know you can't bring stuff with you to the next life but it is so sad to be the last person in your friend and family line to the point where everything is just for sale. Like people were going through all of his most personal stuff, photos, diaries, etc. I felt so temporary for the moment.
I wondered if he was gay because of the lack of any feminine stuff in his bedroom or anywhere really and the thought that there must not be any children or they would want he stuff in his office, his christmas ornaments, etc.
I think if I were a doctor there was a lot of vintage medical stuff I would be interested in purchasing just for nostalgia sake. His house doubled as his office.
The basement really got to me - I thought, you know what, all those stupid nuts and bolts I placed carefully in jars the other day are probably just going to end up at my estate sale. I almost wanted to buy his jars just because I appreciated his hard work so much.
It all kind of made me feel sick.

Squid is Yummy - New Recipe
Put a bunch of olive oil in a pot with some tomato paste and a bit of water. Cook it a bit, then add the squid, some cinnamon and some chopped garlic. Throw in some chopped carrots and simmer for a while to reduce. Then eat it.
Here it is cooking
Serve it over a potato, weird but tasty.
Based on my grandmother's recipe for chicken gizzards.

Surprise Pile of Porn Magazines
Look at this pile
Spread wide. To bad its all the wrong kind of porn for any of us.
I went through a lot of trouble to censor this so be happy or unhappy about that.
The one had this acticle called "Chunky whisperer" in which a cowboy got with heavier set ladies in a barn. I think it was a parody of the "Horse Whisperer."
The text went on an on about him stuffing her with twinkies and hohos. But then it got really twisted and he cracked a raw egg on her. What does it take to let yourself be in a porn like that? Raw freakin' egg.
In their freakin' eyes?

By the way, I agree that the apartment hi rises are out of fashion, even my limited sense of style can recognize that level of ugly. Who knows what will be in or out tomorrow. I wonder who is actually going to be able to afford to live in the new building.
"In her response to the Stonewall Democrats' questionnaire, Jessica Maglietto twice wrote "principals" when she should have been writing "principles." Either she doesn't know how to spell the word or she doesn't know the difference in two words that :::link:::
Those apartments are hideous, and there are several other buildings all down Delaware that are almost as bad. I don't mind them putting in another high-rise, and I'm glad they've put at least some thought into aesthetics, but I'm not convinced that it won't look totally idiotic there.
I'm a total drag tonight. Sorry man.

lauren says it reminds her of the "Under the Sea" dance from "back to the future".
But Jesus, those other apartment buildings are ridiculously ugly.
