Carvings For A Cause

First of all, I went to globe market with (e:terry) and we got some mini pumkin pie cheesecake. I picked the on with walnuts on top. I seriously could eat all of them.

The wood carvings on display there as part of the Carvings For a Cause campaign which is raising money to help re-tree western New York after the october surprise from last year, and the one that might happen again this year.

I never knew who Nardin was named after.

Here are some pics from their flyer.

It doesn't list any web site, but it has some contact info.

Some pictures of life

The other day I walked to work in the rain. It wasn't that bad because I had an umbrella. Poor (e:jim) didn't and he was soaked. Under an umbrella is such a weird space. It is like being in your own private universe in a way.

I feel so bad about the caviar. (e:hodown), we should have bought the big red ones instead. I ate as much as aI could but seriously 2oz of caviar is a lot.

I decided to feel it to our cat. Yes you read it right, we have a cat that lives outside. It is 100% black and lives in our yard.

I finished removing some electrical wires from the house. There is almost nothing left but brick!

My cousin Christina gets really into Halloween. Her husband Bob proposed to her by hiding the ring in the pumpkin back in the day so it holds a special place in their heart.

Her son is so afraid of this doll on their lawn.

New world record is already gone. What is going to replace it?

Sometime computer commands are scary

chown -R viscop aids

Thats it. I was updating a site about AIDS for work and the content is still so old. I hope they update it soon. I feel like people with a NYS grant for an AIDS website should be on top of it, argh. The current site is this one

I think am thinking the information should be organized more like this

(that is just the test version) but the problem is the content is so out of date. Seems like anything dated 1998 about AIDS must be outdated, right - I mean that is ten years ago - or has nothing progressed?

In 1998, the Department of Health announced the results of a study which found that partial Zidovudine (ZDV) prophylactic regimens begun during delivery or within 48 hours after birth may have substantial benefit in reducing the risk of perinatal HIV transmission (NEJM 1998;339:1409-1414). HIV infected mothers who began ZDV prophylaxis therapy during labor and delivery had almost the same reduced rate of HIV transmission (5.3%) as HIV infected mothers who began prophylaxis during the prenatal period (5.0%). HIV exposed newborns whose mothers had never taken ZDV, but began therapy in the first 48 hours of life, experienced significantly reduced HIV transmission (9.5%) as compared to infants whose therapy was initiated after 48 hours of life (25%) and infants receiving no therapy (31.6%).

It was so hard to come up with a design for AIDS. I kept going black and red and it was hard to not make it depressing.

At The Mall

I bought two more pairs of shoes which doesn't put me in competition with (e:hodown), but maybe soon. October is a good time for me to shop because everything is orange and brown. Like my new shiny orange and brown new balance shoes.

These are the new shoes. I love them.

Anyways, the point of this blog is that rolled jeans are on the brink of coming back. Please god let pinning come back too, lol.

I went to starbucks in the galleria mall in Buffalo, NY and it was filled with mini flys. Like there were thousands of these tiny disgusting flies on every surface and everyone was acting like they were not there. I shuld have taken a picture but I didn't want to freak people out.

We ended up buying way to much stuff but no one bought pants, so now we have like 1 millions tops and no bottom. These is a familiar theme in my life on lots of levels. This is not the clearance section but just our pile. Stuff is so cheap there. A lot of the stuff was less than $10.

This one is for (e:twisted). The gap has shoelaceless converse now.

The clouds by the mall were beautiful. It was hard to capture the photos whiel the car was moving but here they are.

Seeing as I can't find a new fruitfly

The Fluffy Milk is all I ever wanted. I saw it gizmodo this morning.

Okay, so it can't cook or tell me crazy stories but...

The website is so cute too

Can someone who speaks japanese figure out how to order me one?

The new not phone Nokia 810

Nokia is finally releasing the new not phone. I love the one I have but would really like the additional real keyboard. I am surprised they did not integrate cellular capability, although it is nice to have a device without a monthly service free.

This one also comes with GPS. It is really a great pocket linux device.

Here is the info from engadget.com

Eating Day

Well, yesterday I ate a bagel and some mushrooms and that was it for the day. Today I made up for it a bit with steak and eggs for breakfast, tortellini and Italian sausage for lunch and crab legs, artichokes for dinner, followed by home made apple crisp. For once everything was cooked at home accept breakfast. I wish I took pictures of anything else but I didn't charge my camera after breakfast and I haven't used my phone since Tuesday.

I had never eaten breakfast at Off The Wall. It was quite yummy. The potatoes were excellent.

Afterwards, we took (e:southernyankee) for a ride downtown to see the new waterfront developments and noticed this smoke stack right above the Hyatt was going crazy. At first, I thought there was a fire but then we saw it was coming out the stack.

There are still so many flowers and leaves at our house. I hope that it doesn't turn into another october surprise.

The Blackout Party

No, not a party I blacked out at, but rather a party in the dark with glowsticks. I had no idea this was happening. We just went to Marcellas on friday with (e:lilho), (e:southernyankee), (e:mike), (e:libertab), (e:terry), (e:jim) and (e:james)

It was like a rave nostalgia party. It was as much like being at a rave as going to a 70s party was like being at the disco in the 90s, however, I had a great time.

I stole these pictures from the Marcellas website

(e:lilho) took a lot of pics but I didn't even bring my camera.

The drag queens got decked out.

Teen Vogue

(e:lilho) still reads teen vogue. I think it represents a much deeper problem.

Her horoscope in this month's issues says

With Mercury in your third house until the 11th you'll have a way with words this month. Use your pumped-up negotiating skills to score a few extra perks from your parents, like a later curfew or a bigger allowance.

This is so inappropriately appropriate for her.

I can't believe that she compares herself to the girls in teen vogue.

Although, I have to admit there is some eye candy.
