Happy anniversary


I got this letter today and I thought who is close enough to know that
our annivesary is in October but thoughtless or mean enough to leave
(e:matthew) out?

Turned out to be the mortgage broker sending us a house closing
anniversary, haha! It's so stars and sparkles of him.

Main street remodel

It's starting to look a lot better now between North and Allen. They
just need some businesses to move in. Did Kaleida buy it? The
building that got knocked down was so freakin' ugly. Its sad when the
no building, knocked down, rubble pile look is better looking than the
building that was there. I wonder if they will get rid of the short
one in middle too?

Duck and cover?

Nope, it's not a nuclear attack duck and cover. It's a study that
needs a presentation and an overly dedicated (e:imk2). I left my
headphones in her car the other day, when I stopped by she demoed her
office camping gear for me. She tried to convince me it is cozy under
there. It looks way cosier than my nasty cube. Her work space is
like 1000x better than mine. Someday, I hope I can have an office,
let alone a window.

Terminals

I know that terminals have tabs now in leopard but most of the time I am watching log files as they fill up and need to compare so I just keep making separate windows. Plus with tabs you have to keep flipping through em. Its like looking at 15 different papers on you desk and putting 14 of them back in a manilla folder everytime you switch papers.

Mac OS makes this so easy to switch between open windows/application using expose. With a key press it or mouse gesture it basically takes all the windows you have stacked up everywhere and makes them tiny so you an select the one you want to focus on. I like this better than any ther solution.

Anyways, this morning I so many terminal windows open it was crazy.

Having fun in the sun

These are the crazy kind of friends I want to have. I feel like this year we barely got to have sunny, crazy drunk days by water. Everything is entirely too serious.

Or maybe I am just too old to be spontaneous. Everything seems very planned and organized now.

I am trying this milk shake a day extra diet that (e:boxerboi) suggested. I think it is finally working as I have broken the 150lb ceiling and am working toward 160lbs.

The Elmwood Village Kitchen Tour 2008

Today I went on the Elmwood Village Kitchen Tour with my mother and (e:matthew). I liked seeing people's kitchens - it gave me a bunch of ideas. I don't usually get to see many people's kitchens because of my animal allergies. The theme this year was green kitchens.

image

I would say maybe like 10% of the kitchen's mentioned anything that had to do with green. One lady had bamboo floors and recycled glass counter tops. Another one used a certain kind of tree that grew faster than usual trees. The rest pretty much did not mention anything. Oh accept the one kitchen that had all reused stuff (green) left their shower on during the whole thing to show how awesome it was. It was awesome but serioulsy we could just trust you dude.

image

I saw some really nice woodwork.
image

Including this turtle at the Elmwood Village Inn at which (e:drew) was a tour guide.

image

Sorry the picture sucks, stupid iphone is really bad with snap shots.
image

We saw (e:janelle) along the way and ate some Italian Nougat at Delish which was in fact super delish.

image

In the end we toured the Gilda Radner house which was cool.

WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE
I really thought showing the two empty houses with half done kitchens that were both for rent on Bryant was tacky. I mean I just paid $18 per person to see kitchens. I don't need your lame ass advertsiement pushed in my face. Especially not if your kitchen isn't even all that. Is there no oversight committee of these kind of things. I felt the same way on the Linwood home tour four years ago when an apartment building showed an empty apartment for rent.

Unrelated but along the way:

I also saw these panties outside Delish and wonder what the story behind that is.
