First off, I would like to say to Paul that I am going to respond to your entry that responds to my entry, but I want to devote a full post to it so I will probably do it tomorrow.

On to other things, I got a email from my old internship today www.cagw.org . I had wrote to them telling that something they had done got picked up on Fox News . Anyway, they emailed me back and told me that a report I had written for them was almost through being edited. I had given up on it ever being published cause I submitted it to them on memorial day and heard little since. The fact that they are still planning on publishing it makes me excited. The email also said that my old boss in the office wanted me to give him a call on something not related to the report. I wonder what it could be. Though I shouldn't, part of me wonders if it is about me working for them in the future. They had flat out said when I had to give up my internship there at the beginning of the summer that if I had graduated then, they would have offered me a job. But alas, I still have one year to go. It is stupid and far fetched but that is what happens why I don't know what in the world it could be about and my mind is allowed to wander.

On another note, my mom won a pair of bills season tickets from Tops. That is pretty awesome, but alas my mom won't use them and I am not around so I am looking to sell them, either as individual game or the entire season. I don't know where they are in the stadium, but I will when I go home on Saturday. If you or anyone you know is interested please let me know.

That is enough for now. I have to sleep. Night all

Paul, You should tell buffalo.com that you are a commercial site based on the fact that two bands have shamelessly selfpromoted themselves on the site as of late

Maybe it is just me, but shame on those two bands for trying to take advantage of the site. I would have no problem if someone in the band wanted to talk about how their concerts went etc., but to create a journal purely as nothing more than a cheap plug for their band, that is sleezy. If I am wrong about the bands and judging too quickly, then I welcome them to prove me wrong by posting again with something more than a link, a bio, and when their next show is.

I know it is not really my place to talk as it is not my site, therefore who am I to decide what is or isn't appropriate to be posted. And I apologize if I have overstepped my bounds, but does anyone else feel this way?

On another quick note, I would like to thank Paul for encoding the site however he did because it lets me read it and post at work even though most other sites that you can post at, such as webjournals, are blocked for security reasons. I'm such a slacker.

There is a 7-11 on Sheridan in Tonawanda. It is just past where Grand Island Boulevard splits from Sheridan, in Tonawanda. It is also near where the 190 and 290 split by the South Grand Island Bridge. Here is a link to a map of the area: . When you reach the GI/Sheridan split, you want to bear left on Sheridan and the 7-11 will be a few blocks up on your left.

I believe american stations did show the opening ceremonies. It should have been on NBC- Channel 2. I'm not positive cause I did not watch them in Buffalo, but they were on the NBC affiliate in DC. They did broadcast them at night though so that is why you may not have seen them.

Hello all. Thought I would give a bit of an update.

I finally applied to the internship I wanted for the fall. I think I am qualified, it is just a matter of if they filled it already yet. It was posted for a long time and it is with a good organization and they claim it is really competitive so they won't call back unless they want you. We'll see what happens. Keep your fingers crossed.

Chris and I had some great steaks from the grill today - though it was raining while we were grilling with charcoal. They marinated all day in A1 marinade, and thanks to the potato flakes we got from jess, it was a good all american meal.

I was this close to meeting the president's dog the other day. It allstarted with the fact that people in my office are obsessed with his website www.barney.gov and his photo of the day. As such, one of the people in my office sent an email via the online form to the White House webmaster saying that there are some OMB workers that are big fans of barney and wondered if there was a way we could meet him. The webmaster wrote back (if you look at whitehouse interactive www.whitehouse.gov/interactive he is the guy with the open mouthed picture that answers the questions) and said they sould have a Barney visits the OMB day. Then the other day he said lets do it today, but because the director's schedule and barney's didn't match up, they had to postphone it. Hopefully it will happen next week so I can meet him. It would be cool in a nerdy polisci way. They actually sell Barney stuffed animals in the Whitehouse gift shop, but what I really want is the president push jack-in-the-box that plays hail to the chief. I am such a nerd.
