I went to LeMetro last night with Jeff, Megan and Bill to hang out. It was a lot of fun, more fun than last weekend when we were there. They have a really good band playing on Saturday nights too. I can't remember what they were playing though... but it was good. :o)

Mike the bartender is sweet! Great drinks all night.

Anyone been to the bagel shop on Elmwood across from Wilson Farms? It used to be a dirty Manhattan Bagel. I was there this morning and I was pretty impressed. I got 6 strips of bacon on my bagel instead of two. haha I wish SpOT did Bagel, egg and cheese sandwiches.

Is it just me or is it hit or miss with Gabriel's Gate. The past two times I've eaten there I've gotten sick from the food. The last time I was there I had to wait forever to get a table AND they totally messed up our orders. It was crazy... I wonder if its just me.

I went out to the Galleria mall and it was really busy. I didn't find anything I wanted to buy except the iPod shuffle. I thought it was pretty cool, esp. the weight of it. I would rather run with it than my sony cd player.

I cannot believe that anyone would even entertain this idea. This makes me sick to my stomach.

Democratic Party Chairman Len Lenihan was on the radio Wednesday morning, talking about the dire situation involving the Erie County Budget.

He suggested animals at the Buffalo Zoo may have to be put down.

"For him to say that is outrageous," said Dr. Donna Fernandes, President and CEO of the Buffalo Zoo. "I am not going to euthanize our animals!"

The county budget deficit of $108.4 million dollars is putting the zoo, and other departments, in a tough position, however.

Dr. Fernandes says the zoo stands to lose all of its county funding in the plan now before lawmakers, which amounts to 30% of the zoo's income. For now, the zoo is borrowing money to meet operating expenses.

"By now, we should have received a check for $350,000 from the county," said Dr. Fernandes.

As for his claim that zoo animals may have to be put down, Lenihan declined to comment to Channel 2 news.

Dr. Fernandes said they may have to ship some animals to other accredited zoos. They are making plans to do that with animal species for which they have more than one animal, and for rotating exhibits. Because it can be dangerous to transport animals in the winter, Dr. Fernandes said they would not begin shipping animals for months to come, and hopefully, not until after their busy summer season.

She said it can be difficult to find another zoo that will accept older animals, like some of their lions, but if they need to get rid of older animals, the Buffalo Zoo will search for animal sanctuaries that will accept them.

I feel better is the good news. Bad news is I have to go to work.

Ick, shower time.

I'm sick for the sixth day in a row. I wouldn't be sick if I didn't have this cough. Blah.

Good news is I am off from work today! YAY!
