Why is @tinypliny not at the party?

I think you might be interested in this track:

I was so excited about sharing photos here. I went sailing for the first time and got some new photos of Buffalo from angles I've never seen before. Then we decided to go swimming, and my camera went to the bottom of the harbor. My lanyard broke, and camera sunk. Grr. I had a floating wrist strap attached to a waterproof camera, and I was foiled by a sucky piece of string.

I gave up on retrieving the camera and swam over to the breakwall. Jonathan, the sailboat owner, decided to bring the boat over to the breakwall to pick me up, rather than have me swim back to the boat. It was kind of cool getting back on a boat as it was in motion.

We sailed back into the marina, and randomly decided to swim again. I don't think you're supposed to swim in the marina, but we did. Then some food at the Hatch.

Some of Jonathan's friends live in the really nice condos on the harbor. We were invited over for a tour. OMFG. I didn't realize people actually live like that. We watched the sun set from the 10th floor of a gorgeous abode...

The economy is shaky. I feel broke. Therefore, I am DIYing my home improvement projects. I get a sense of accomplishment, and I save money! Win-win.

It took me so long to tear off shingles from half my porch roof, that I accepted the offer of a neighbor to finish the job. Poor economy also means random people offering to do work for a little cash.

Normally I would always say no to someone offering to do work for me just because he was riding his bike down the street. However, this guy was helping another neighbor with work today. My neighbor that has been my snowblowing fairy and my lawn mowing fairy. I chatted with him earlier to borrow his tool for tearing shingles off. (He's also the tool loaning fairy). I figured if a neighbor I trust will hire him, I may as well let him tear off half my shingles.

I will blog more, and maybe post pics once I am clean and get a sugar fix...

I was driving in north Buffalo today, and saw multiple billboards for Taco Bell. It made me wonder why there were so many billboards, when there isn't even a Taco Bell in the city limits? I only know of them being in the various suburbs... Of all the things to get me to drive outside of the city, Taco Bell is not one of them.

I was over drag shows in the 90's. Seeing e: terry and e: paul show their ass made it more fun.

I have one friend teaching another how to use twitter. should I care? Part of me is tempted to join just to follow people.

I of course had to Androidify myself, at tinypliny's request.

I haven't watched music videos in many years. Yesterday I put the Vevo app on my phone, and it's been about non-stop. I don't listen to pop music, but the videos are so interesting! If I keep this up, I may be able to tell the difference between Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera! (currently watching a playlist on my laptop called "Good Girls Gone Bad")

I know there are android geeks on estrip.now I have one too! Heidi gave me some app recommendations, but I'd be open to more!

I'm using the estrip app to post this. I got the motorola atrix 4g. Using swype for the first time. I didn't get any accessories, but I like knowing they are available if I want them in the future.
