Felt like getting a pizza tonight and wanted to try someplace I haven't tried before, so I picked one up from Bob & Jon's on Hertel. Very expensive first of all, and it was TERRIBLE!! I could tell immediately they cook a bunch of cheese pizzas, then when an order comes in, throw the toppings on and put it back in the oven for a few minutes. The toppings were almost raw, sauce had no taste, crust was awful and there were some crunchy hard things randomly in it ?!
Very dissapointed :( Franco's and La Nova still tops with me.

So I had a great time in Orlando with my friends, my best friend was very surprised with his party and my presence.

I was on Tupper where it becomes the 33 tonight and the cops had a sobriety checkpoint setup. First time I've actually seen one! I was kind of hoping for a breathalyzer (sp) test for some weird reason but he didn't do it, just asked where I was coming from, if I'd had anything to drink, and shot a flashlight into my eyes while his darted around the car. Traffic was waaaay backed up. Kinda sucks....wasted 20 minutes of my time. They were arresting a kid next to me as I was being questioned.

Picked up Metal Gear Solid 4 for the PS3. Been looking forward to it for a long time. Played like 3 hours worth or so...my initial reaction? Greatest game ever!! Of course I finally quit after being spotted for the 50th time in this one area. REALLY pissing me off. I might restart the game in the easiest mode instead of Normal mode because if it's this hard already I'm gonna be in trouble, and I want to finish the storyline/game.

You may have heard in the news that Cuomo is suing CVS and Rite-Aid for having outdated products in their stores. Some of you know I work for the former. My store was one on the list. My unofficial, off the record, I never said that comment is....basically, the state needs more money and is looking wherever it can. I truly hate the way this state, county, city etc operates. So the decree came down to have every one of us check every single product in our stores for outdates no matter how long it took, not to mention we all had a truck today. Products are good several months after their expirations (well except milk..) and they'll find plenty of expired products in pretty much every store in existence if they look hard enough. We'll see how big this gets blown up; people really are ridiculous alarmists. Reason #656,096 why I'm dreading work tomorrow.

So even though the weather forecast in Buffalo seems to change by the hour, we're supposedly finally getting back to the warm weather that teased me so back in April only to go into hiding for all of May. 89 on Friday!! That's more like it!!

Oh yeah, Friday I leave for a weekend trip back down to hell, aka Orlando. Well either way I'll get my warmth, just with a heat index of about 105 and massive thunderstorms every 4 hours while sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic fighting drivers who can't read English and therefore can't read street signs, and praying I won't be shot (Orlando is basically Buffalo East side crime-wise, they just tax tourists and keep the parts visitors see looking purty) and being forced to eat and shop at nothing but pretentious chains. At least I have direct flights both ways. For the first time I'm not checking luggage, that's the biggest pain.

So why go if I hate it so much? I promised a friend I would because she is throwing a surprise party for my best friend's 30th birthday. Of course when I talked to him 2 days ago he told me how she told him about it!! Then he asked if I was coming down but I was able to change the subject. That really pisses me off since the main point of my coming is the surprise, but I won't bring it up with her until I get there. I figure the quieter I keep this week, the less likely it will be that his suspicion of my involvement will be affirmed!

So those controversial cameras we all know about are being put to the test in the media thanks to the hit & run on Chippewa & Delaware courtesy of Marshawn Lynch's Porsche, and the mugging of an elderly woman at Hertel & Colvin, both intersections with the cameras installed.

It took 5 minutes for an ambulance to respond at Chippewa and BPD won't comment on anything....and no real police response at Hertel...no comment again from BPD there, and no apprehension of said mugger. So if we installed these cameras and they're being monitored 24/7, wouldn't police immediately be able to be dispatched/respond with detailed information and solve these cases very quickly? Wouldn't the city also be all too eager to tout the justice dished out by these cameras for good press on a controversial project? It would be one thing if the cameras were being used to their fullest but if it's another joke, shame on you Byron Brown.

On a sidenote, if Lynch is guilty and I'm sure he is (I don't often loan out my Porsche at 4am), it could result in up to a year in prison, not to mention any potential team/league sanctions. And it will also result in further proof that there is a curse against the Bills as we watch our best chance at making the playoffs in 10 years disapear in smoke.
