Vermont is beatiful

This is in the parking lot of a ski resort turned summer amusement
park, where we zoomed down a mile of twisty slide on a louge on
wheels. This luxury land-yacht sported two shiny 6-inch exhaust pipes
and 6 over-sized wheels and was occupied by 2 late-bloomed hippies and
their 2 lil boys. God bless amurrika and god bless the cooter!

My baby nephew is 1!

Finnegan, my bro's lil boy, is now 1. Seems like just yesterday that he was born. My brother and sis-in-law have 3 beautiful boys. I'm so happy (and at times jealous) of them. They are wonderful parents. The boys couldn't ask for more. And they also have a wonderful grandma who lives just down the road (well it's Vegas so this of course means like 20 mins away...). Anyways they posted this pic. Apparently lil Finn takes one from his uncle's tree.

Then this one too, just for cuteness's sake.

The well of death

This was my National Geographic pic of the day

today:

And that led to this youtube vid:

Is this not the craziest thing ever? One car would be pretty insane. But 2 bikes and 2 trucks, with everyone hanging out the window mugging the cameras?!? Wow.

Let the Force be with me

I went to Thursday at the Square with (e:southernyankee). We had a blast, despite the rain. She took this pic. It is supposed to be a secret that I am a powerful Jedi, but I guess I let that cat out of the bag.

We then hit the town. For free drinks at Omega, sorry for showing your asses up, silly white chippe-bitches who stole our table. But if you can't move that ass then move that ass! Then to Mohawk, where we waited for a band, which turned out to be less than worth the wait. My umbrella is hopefully still there. Then on over to Allen St. We met a character outside Ohm. He/she was trying to show (e:southernyankee) how to shake it like Shakira. Her/his friend kept telling her/him to watch out cuz her balls were gonna fall out. All in all a wonderful Buffalo night with a wonderful Buffalo expat. Come back soon chamycakes!

Speaking of the bible...

...anyone else noticed the plague of moths that has descended upon Buffalo?

We've captured like 50 in our house the last couple days (from a window upstairs we left open...and from the bastards climbing through our mail slot). And, they're just everywhere outside. Swarming around trees and light posts. Now I know we have our homegrown plagues...the week of spiders...the five days of mayflies crunching beneath our boots...and that one special day where all the winged ants come out of nowhere. But, I can't seem to recall ever seeing so many moths swarming at one time. Is it a sign that the end of days is near? Yeah most likely. You might want to take an ad out in

This totally legit website (modeled after the horrendously popular series of books) allows you to leave messages for those poor souls you knew on earth who weren't quite heavenly enough to follow your ass into eternal grace. So they'll know how to correctly wax that gorgeous '69 El Camino you left in the front yard on cinder blocks. At least you don't have to feel bad for all the crispy charred remnants of moths left underneath your nightlight, after all you're the sad wretch left behind to clean up the mess.

Plant a tree?

So I was thinking of participating in the Re-TreeWNY program.

You have to join as a group and I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in creating an (e:strip) group to plant some trees.

It is a bit of a time commitment, but it there's quite a while until the actual planting to get your schedules organized.

We have to register by August 8. Then the dates are:

October 11 & 18 - Training dates - Locations to be announced
November 7 - Pick-up of trees by organizations
November 8 & 9 - Planting of Trees

So in reality it's only 2 maybe 3 days that you would actually have to show up. The first is a mandatory training session in October to show us how to properly plant the trees, so they can live and flourish and so forth. Then the actual day or two of planting, I guess depending on how ambitious we are. It's your chance to actually have a little bit of choice in the planning and beautification of our city. Each group is assigned a specific parcel, and we actually get to choose which types of trees go where on our parcel, pretty neat, eh?

So comment if you're interested so I can get a feel for how many are interested and hopefully we can do this.

Missing Cat?

anyone lose a cat? Or know anyone who has?

Or if not, anyone want a cat? It's been hanging around our house and we can't keep it. Very snuggly. No front claws, but still has balls.

metalpeter writes at 05:01:01 06/29/08 - Comment #36594: Well since he has no front claws that means he was at least a pet at sometime, I wish the guy luck with finding a home.

matthew writes at 04:52:09 06/29/08 - Comment #36592: If no one takes him, he's going to the shelter. I posted on craigslist also. Hope he finds a home, he's really a great cat. Very loving, and besides him being a little bit starved he seems pretty healthy.

tinypliny writes at 09:18:31 06/29/08 - Comment #36582: Gee. You posted as well - at the same time!
I just deleted mine. :)

fellyconnelly writes at 09:17:37 06/29/08 - Comment #36581: NO lauren... you can't have another cat!!!

tinypliny writes at 09:14:15 06/29/08 - Comment #36580: I just put up a craiglist ad - have a look. Please let me know if you have any more details to add.
:::link:::

Will take it down if you so wish. Shall be keeping you updated on the responses

dragonlady7 writes at 04:30:55 06/28/08 - Comment #36560: I posted the photo to the Livejournal community buffalo_dorks asking if anybody on there was missing a cat. I got one person in Kenmore saying he'd had a couple kids knock on his door looking for their missing gray cat but it seemed awfully far away, and i also got a lady who said this:
"If you run your hands over his back and shoulder blades (as if you were giving him a deep tissue massage)you should be able to feel if he has a microchip. If he's got one the SPCA or animal control, or most vets, can read it and he can be reunited with his family."
But then went on to say he may well have just been abandoned; people seem to do that a lot.
Which is retarded. But anyway.

He looks just like my kitty. *snif*
Except, well, my kitty is smaller, skinnier, has a prettier face, and has white toes.

lauren writes at 04:00:45 06/28/08 - Comment #36558: What I beautiful cat!! I love grey cats...if I didn't already have a managerie...

anyway, did you try posting on craiglist... they have "pets" and "lost&found" sections...
