I headed out to the inner harbor for lunch with my mother after @matthew's graduation. The food was totally amazing. Its a great seafood restaurant owned by the same people that run Blue Monk on elmwood.

The food is primarily seafood but they have some other fare including burgers and steak. Today they also had some pulled pork on special.

Being the seafood lovers that we are, we went for the ciopino. It was amazing. Mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp and cod.

The inside of the place looks nice and sits right inside the museum by the canal but we sat outside on the patio to enjoy the weather.

I wish I would have taken a picture of the parmesaen truffle fries we got for an appetizer but I was to busy eating it!

They open for service at 11am and the kitchen is open till 10pm. I say check it out if you haven't yet.

It has been back again for a bit. I seriously cannot stand it. I won't even wash my salad with it anymore because the salad ends up smelling too.

I want to know what causes it. Its smells sort of like permanent marker. Its not my house either, I smell it in other places. Its almost like it replaced the fishy smell of zebra muscle that used to be in the water.

Is it possible that it is some sort of thing to kill them off. Last time I wrote about it in 2008 @paul #44701, @matthew linked to a buffalo news article but the link is gone and I cannot remember what it was. Thats probably a side effect of the chemical itself, lol.

I can't believe that I have a cold right now. I think its the combination of allergies and then cold weather plus air conditioning that made me sick. Its one of those stupid painful sore throats where it hurts to talk. Hopefully this spicy veggie soup helps and it goes away soon.

Its seems pretty awesome so far. I am uaing the Only One ICS rom from

Some highlights:

• Android 4.04
  
• Tons of developer options

• The UI seems really snappy
  
• They solved the washed out blacks in the display issue!!
  
• Cut, copy and paste plus select is awesome and accurate for once
  
• facial recognition unlock
  
• full disk encryption option
  
• ICS google chrome browser
  
• NFC is working but Google wallet still disabled :(
  
• The s pen note app is insane. It has many more options now. It is one of the best note taking apps I have ever seen.
  
• New task manager with screenshots of each open app.

Normally I hate Microsoft but this system seems pretty awesome

Its based on a standard language, its free and it runs on android.

The system basically allows you to program event based actions for your phone using JavaScript or by deleting pre-written recipes.

Hated it. Maybe worst day ever. The only good part was seeing my cousin and the hillariousness of the seagull attack on my brother. Not sure if I am even going next year.

Poor tortoises have been so wet and cold. I hate bringing them in but they seem so miserable. @terry brought them in this afternoon.

Since they fixed the corner they have torn up the street several times. Now it looks like they are going to put in a new sewer system. There are marks down all of the new fancy sidewalks like they are going to have to cut them up. I don't understand why they didn't do all of this while the street was tore up last year.

I cannot wait for them to be ripe.

Surprise strippers.
