Raving in the 90s

The day after going dancing at 1:30am at Faso's Greatful Bear and Grill in Lackawanna with (e:terry) the other night, I was reading some people's jourals on purerave.com that had attended the same event. The website is pretty neat. It basically has event listings and profiles and then people say if they are attending, did attend etc. Then it links the events to the profiles. The users have galleries and journals and can review/post events. The only thing I really don't like is the adverts all over the place but I gues sthat is normal on the internet heutzutage.

Anyhow someone wrote (hhc stands for happy hardcore, a music genre)"

old school hhc
is so good
like the originals
reminds me why i got into hardcore : )
eye opener, heart of gold, shooting star, now is the time, toytown, power of love
so good, wish i was around for those days
So theres gotta be ravers from like 90-95, that're like in their 30s (40s?) now?
thats nuts
Someone should track these people down and do a fucking documentary "where are they now style"
unless they are all brain dead, or junkies, then i don't want to see that movie

Well, that makes me feel old but I am happy to report I am not a junkie or brain dead and that I am 32 not 40 yet.

Busy, busy

I know I always say this, but I am right on the edge of having the new estrip done. I will have to do some more testing and optimization. The only things I have left are the new mobile site, the avatar upload, and the preferences pane.

I missed like 15 dancing opportunities this weekend because I am lame. Tonight we are having a vegetarian dinner party. I am nervous about the tasty value in that.

Flight 3407

Wow, nothing makes the thought of riding in a plane scarier than a commuter plane hitting a local house and everyone dying. Its the same type of plane we take all the time from NYC.

The news on TV is so super lame they just keep saying the same thing over and over. On youtube I found an interview with some local youths that were right at the scene.

I wonder if I will know anyone who was on the flight.

Here is another cell phone video of the fire.

On the news they said it really took out just one house. Imagine if your house was hit by a plane. One person in the house died.

Here is a pic from the story on wkbw

That link is the most comprehensive information I could find about the crash.

They also had a link to

and claimed this is a picture of the plane that crashed. I think I have been on that type of plane on the way home form every vacation I was ever on. Either from Detroit or from NYC. I think I will really have a hard time ever going on a plane again.

This is the house that is destroyed as per (e:tinypliny)'s link

Robert writes at 04:41:51 04/12/13 - Comment #69618: an old coworker at chris' lived in the house behind this one? like... their backyards faced eachother, or so she said. i guess she was home when it happened.

metalpeter writes at 07:39:06 02/13/09 - Comment #45527: That is one weird looking plane. That fire looks pretty intense. I'm surprised it is international news.

janelle writes at 02:02:17 02/13/09 - Comment #45512: I'm not crazy. Google "turbo props" and icy conditions.

Turbo props are far more likely to accumulate ice and crash than jets.

drew writes at 12:32:58 02/13/09 - Comment #45508: And just to confirm, I do think that my wife is crazy.

hodown writes at 12:30:32 02/13/09 - Comment #45507: Its all over NYC as well.

carolinian writes at 12:14:28 02/13/09 - Comment #45505: Just to put things in perspective :::link:::

Safety-wise, I'd take a plane over my daily commute any day.

paul writes at 11:56:41 02/13/09 - Comment #45502: It must be all over the news everywhere, because my friend Yvonne in Flensburg just wrote to ask if I was okay after she heard about the crash.

mike writes at 11:51:48 02/13/09 - Comment #45501: teres said it is all over the news in england

janelle writes at 11:24:39 02/13/09 - Comment #45500: Turboprops have a slightly higher incidence of crashing in icy conditions than jets. Ice may have been the cause of this crash.

Drew thinks I'm crazy, but on my last trip home, I decided to stop flying turboprops. I know you can't protect yourself from everything, but I feel more secure flying when it's not a turbo prop.

tinypliny writes at 10:44:05 02/13/09 - Comment #45496: I have actually been on the same route a couple times in the past. :( This is the unfortunate home that was destroyed > :::link:::

I love oysters

We went to Black and Blue agsint for my mother's birthday.

I had the lump crapmeat again. There is nothing like a large quantity
of crabmeat without the effort of wrestling them from the shell.

For an appetizer i had oystetd. These ones came with fish roe that
was mixed with wasabi powder.

The ones labeled alpine cove were especially delicious.

Afterwards, we went to my mothers and ate delicious pastries rom Premier and Dolci that my brother picked up.

Here is my mom showing my dad a cute card she got from (e:libertad).

More Mckinley Mall - Frank Lloyd Wright

The other day, when at the McKinley mall I noticed that their lounge/sitting area was distinctly Frank Lloyd Wright style. My brother would not believe me when I told him, so here are the pic - you decide.

First check out the ceiling pattern and colors, openess and natural lighting.

Here check out the open space, large oversize pots and furniture, plus the color

Then this pillar with the tiles

Unrelated:

They had snow shoe attachments for your sneakers at the mall. Has anyone used these before. Its like snow tires for your sneakers.

My stomahc is getting buffer with 100 situps a day routine. I am also only like 2 lbs away from my target weight of 160.

Shopping Tip: Organic vanilla beans are cheaper than the conventional ones in the wegman's natures market place area.

While there you can also get a 5lb bag of 16-20 count wild caught shrimp for $50. That's only $9.99/lb.

tinypliny writes at 03:19:06 02/13/09 - Comment #45484: I had yak trax on my shoes for my second winter in Rochester. My friend got it for me because I fell around 20 times in my first winter. I wore it all the time and in the end the springs came off and as I was walking in my department's corridor, one of the springs got stuck in the carpet fabric and unravelled a whole line of carpet without my realizing. I could never play down that incident because the unravelled line lead directly from the stairs to my office! People pointed at it for a whole year and the stories became wilder and wilder. I think the last time I heard it - people were talking about how I had swapped desks with a grad student from another program and had dragged it all the way up the stairs and tore the carpet!! (I did swap a desk with someone, but come on!)

PS: The other grad student had a pink and white desk and hated the fact that it was too feminine. I traded my brown and black desk. Hehehe Man. I miss it!

heidi writes at 09:51:04 02/12/09 - Comment #45475: The shoes - Yak Tracks? are the latest rage among the outdoor gear types. They work really well, according to Liz at wildasaphoutfitters.com in Tioga County.

Definitely FLW.

metalpeter writes at 06:27:13 02/12/09 - Comment #45472: (e:mrmike) that is a great line. Of course they might not be able to find the food court either and if they did they might wind up someplace else when they tried to leave

leetee writes at 01:57:51 02/12/09 - Comment #45465: totally frank lloyd wright.

mrmike writes at 11:03:22 02/12/09 - Comment #45462: I agree, and better him than MC Escher (people would never leave the food court)

hodown writes at 09:25:37 02/12/09 - Comment #45459: Thats typical FLW. You're right.

Super nintendo

This was only a fraction of the super nintendo games available at the
mckinley mall.

The amazing thing is you could probably fit all the roms on one DVD.
