Work: I hate work sometimes. The dishwasher broke and we had to wash dishes by had all night long. That was tedius and cut into time to do everything else. When I left at 7am, it was still broken :(
The storms are fun :) I love thunderstorms and will try and get lightening pictures :)

Spring?Category: spring
Of course its not :) At least not until the 21 technically. But it was so nice the other day, I went outside :) That is big for me considering I work overnights and rarely have time to go out of the house and do anything "fun".
Before leaving, I opened the door to the porch and a few windows to get some fresh air in the house (this was on Saturday). I then went around to Dona Apparel to see what I could find in there. When I have time I will get a picture :) I then went to Skunk Tail and got a "piece". They really do some awsome work, and its fun to watch.
I came home and cracked open a beer and sat outside for a few before I had to sleep for a few hours.
Its too bad this weather is not lasting, yet. I miss the porch parties ;-)

WB 49, and The Buffalo currentCategory: elmwood
Well I just got an E-mail from Patty of Don Apparel, the Buffalo Current is NO more. They pullled the plug. They are done.
WB 49 News at 10 is also done, pulled the plug on that.
No reason as to why yet, but there is specualtion, IMO, they sucked, but I wonder what the true motive is??
Anyway, I love vintage stuff. I went deep discount shopping today at Don Apparel and was just amazed. They have an attic full of stuff too!!! My god it would take me days to go through everything. And I mean dddaaaayyyysss.
A woman named Michele was trying on some clothes...She picked out a lot of really nice things.
We were calling her "Donna Parrel" :)
Well anyways they have a lot of really cool stuff in there. Its not just ladies stuff either :)

A walk around ElmwoodCategory: elmwood
I decided to walk down Elmwood to do my weekly chores, as opposed to taking the bus. It was quite warm today, but not sunny. But that didn't matter.
I started by going to work to get my dinero. I headed to the bank and each week it still amazes me to see that every one of my co-workers will be at the bank around the same time every week (between 2 and 3pm). I never realize how many people I work with until I see them all flock to the bank. I think this is the only day of the week I can gurantee that no one will call in sick, pay day :)
I back tracked to go to Cole's to meet up with the roomie and to give her money for the bills. I hate bills. Expecially when you have to pay like three hundred bucks. Oh well...they are all paid. I decided to have a beer, Labatt's Blue Light. My Usual, and of course draft. I did not eat there though.
I then continued my walk down Elmwood. I had my camera and was hoping to catch a decent picture, but it started to rain :( I did take a picture of the Auburn and Elmwood shops and the Globe Market.
As I was walking further down towards Utica Street, the rain stopped. I decided to get some food and so I stopped into Louie's Hot Dogs on Elmwood. Man how I love them.
I ordered a 1/2lb cheeseburger with ketchup and mustard and dill pickles. I never had the Cajun fries, so I got those too. I decided I need something to wash it down so I got a Pepsi.
I would have taken a picture of what I got, but I ended up getting ketchup all over me and did not want to risk messing up the cam, and getting it all greasy :(
But it was DELICIOUS. The Cajun fries were, well very cajun. Lets just say that my sinus's are perfectly clear now. When they say Cajun, they are not kidding. I was not able to finish them because the burger was so filling and delicious. But man, were they good. I reccomend them highly, if you like spicy food.
I continued my walk to Allentown and met up with friends and we watched the movie Domino. Nice action, a hot guy ;-) but the plot sucked. But it was a free movie.
I had a few bits of some chicken Parmesan thet my friends girlfriend made. Boy can she cook. I even invited her over to my house to cook dinner ;-)
Around 8:00pm I headed back home and it started to rain again, so I got on the bus, and here I am.
What, were you expecting somethiong about the hotel? Suprise :)

That was cool. Fun to picture that stroll instead of being marooned in the office all day.

Current is kaput? That was fast. And we didn't even _do_ anything to them.
That's really surprising, actually, considering we always kinda figured they had unlimited funding.
Kinda leaves some pretty slim pickins as far as press goes around here.
