Posts from October 2007

Went to Shea's tonight with @zobar and @dragonlady7 to see Nosferatu performed with a live orchestra. It was a pretty fantastic setting for the movie. We sat in the front of the balcony area which was great.

Afterwards, we headed over to some bar in the first ward to have some drinks. It surprised me there was another part of Buffalo that looked full of white people. I guess I just never made it over there before. It looked a little like lovejoy but less intimidating.

On Friday, @zobar, @jim and I made the oligatory mac dork trip to purchase Leopard. Instead of going to the apple store like the typical mac dorks we went to Mac Solutions Pluslink in West Seneca, where they gave you a a free leopard stuffed animal for purchasing leopard, not to mention free food and no lines!

Look at @jim happy about leopard.


They not only gave you a stuffed leopard for buying the OS, they also had this giant one on display.



And premium leopard meat burgers too!


Then we went home and installed. It wouldn't let me upgrade so I had to install from scratch which took most of the weekend to complete and get everything back to how it was.


Afterwards, we went danicng. Well not the other computer dorks, but @flacidness, @mike, @terry and I. They met some girls from ohio who were celebrating a birthday and took them out for the night.



Looks like OPM lounge is closed. I mean it was on Saturday night.


Looks like TK likes to dance as much as me.

The party last night was pretty crazy. Especially, towards the end of the evening. I hope everyone had a good time - it seemed like it. I didn't take any pictures because I couldn't find my camera. Sorry, if I missed anything.

Some wholesome highlights:
@matthew's fantastic halloween decor

@jim's home roasted pumkin seeds

the great costumes, thanks everyone

@mike's wig

Some otherly highlights:

@zobar and @dragonlady7's awesome punch drink

@fellyconnelly and @lauren's jello shots

the @imk2 show

@dragonlady7's shelf - @zobar you are a lucky man

the @mike, @jill and Nameless Bitch unicorn hunt

@mike humping Nameless Bitch's face after he caught her

@jill tackling Nameless Bitch and throwing her to the ground

a mechanic who had full body suit button control issues

when @tinypliny exclaimed, "like the fishy smell of chlamydia" - I missed the context of the conversation

a hot zombie with his pants unzipped getting spanked for wanting to eat brains

geoffrey snorting baking soda off the rug that I put down to stop a stain from the drink he spilled on the rug in his drunken state

not realizing that there was any sort of context for @carolinian's dick in a box costume

You can tell people are still recovering by the party/post party web stats for the site.

Hope to see everyone there. Party starts at 8:00. @matthew has dressed the house up for halloween.

First of all, I went to globe market with @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.

The other day I walked to work in the rain. It wasn't that bad because I had an umbrella. Poor @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. @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?

Seriously, I think this video says it all.

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.

I bought two more pairs of shoes which doesn't put me in competition with @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 @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.

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?
