jenks' 30th - and baby max
Category: birthdays

Ok. So Happy 30th Birthdays go out to (e:Jenks) and (e:Codypomeray). Woohoo!

If you are in the Buffalo area and would like to join Jenks and friends in celebration, please head out to Cozumel (on Elmwood near Allen) starting at 7pm. Yep, it's early - but it's CINCO DE MAYO folks!

In personal news, my baby nephew Max is sick again. He had surgery to remove a lump on his neck last month. They have discovered two new lumps on his neck and he is back in the hospital again. Poor little guy. We are all stressed. If you say prayers, or well wishes...any would be greatly appreciated for the little man to get better soon.

What a beautiful baby! I wrote down Max's name so I could chant for his health. (I'm a Buddhist) It's always good to have as many different faiths prayin so you have it covered from all angles.

really that kid has amazing eyelashes!

Category: work

So everything has been so up in the air lately I was losing my mind. Today I got the call I had been hoping for. I have been awarded a grad assist position with the International Office / Admissions. I'll be working between the two offices, assisting international students with the admissions process and welcoming them to Canisius. Best part is, 75% tuition paid! I SO needed that! Ciao.

We got an apartment! Yesssssssssssssssssss! (e:Decoyisryan), (e:Nejifer) and myself will be the new occupants of a lovely little 3 bedroom flat. This place is da bomb! The landlord seems pretty cool and he is renovating the place entirely! Beautiful hardwood floors, a gorgeous fireplace, granite kitchen counter with a new sink, appliances, basement laundry hook ups,updated bathroom...AND, he's going to let us paint the bedroom walls if we so choose. We also have a nice big front porch on which to enjoy warm summer evenings with tasty mojitos and friends. Ciao!

dcoffee - 05/02/06 22:40
Fantastic! I'm apartment shoping too, looking forward to visiting different apartments and moving up from what we have now.

metalpeter - 05/02/06 17:43

elmwood lounge
Category: food

I was supposed to meet a friend for brunch at the Elmwood Lounge today. Well, let's just say this was another test for Lady Croft. My esteem is not exactly high caliber right now, so I felt like a pretty big ass the longer I sat there waiting for a friend that never showed.

So I had the choice of leaving in my embarrassed state, or eat, because I was really hungry. I've been wanting to check out this brunch for ages. So...I chatted things up with the waiter and decided to eat.

This is a testament to all those who have wondered if you would spontaneously combust when dining out alone. I'm not saying I enjoyed it immensely, but I lived to tell the tale.

I had a mimosa (is it bad to drink alone on a Sunday morning???) and spinach omelet, which came with toast, potatoes and tapioca pudding. All of this for $6 on the nose, no additional tax! I think it is a spiffy deal. I recommend you try it. Brunch is served every Saturday and Sunday from 9-3pm. Ciao.

metalpeter - 05/01/06 17:50
I am used to eating by myself. It is just kinda odd when at a place where they seat you, like Fridays downtown and I say Just one. Then it dawns on me what I said and how I said it as a negative when I didn't mean it that way. Never been To the Home of Lance Diamond for any meal or any of his shows. I think you handled eating alone when someone else was going to join you better then I could. I'm glad you liked the food and got to go somewhare you've wanted to go to.

mrdt - 05/01/06 00:06
I don't mind my own company. as you know I don't hesitate to hop on a plane or take a drive some where by myself. it's fun and I've been able to get in touch with myself. I don't mind skiing alone either, you don't have to wait for someone to get there shit together or at the bottom of the hill. it will also help me appreciate having someone's company much more when it finally does happen.

deeglam - 04/30/06 23:46
your esteem should be way up now...thinking that you did that and survived! That is great! I dined out once before by myself....it's actually a liberating experience knowing that you don't need others there in order to look good or what not.... you made it! and fuck that person that ditched you. that is just not cool!

leetee - 04/30/06 19:27
I was single and shy for a loooong time, so i, too, had practice eating out alone. With someone is always nicer, but i tend to have something with me to amuse myself -- i am the chick with the giant purse, after all.

ajay - 04/30/06 17:28
That's why I take a book or a paper with me in such a situation. If the "friend" doesn't show up, at least I can get some reading done.

jason - 04/30/06 16:06
Oh boy. I am in such huge trouble. I didn't mean to do anything wrong!! Bah, I won't even explain and just hang my head. Hehe. I'll make it up somehow!!!!

his sexual fantasy
Category: potpourri

Last night provided me with some much needed low stress entertainment. First (e:Decoyisryan) and I hit up Left Bank. I met up with David, the super mchottie bagpiper from Jackdaw, and a few of his friends.

Then we went over to Broadway Joe's. Karma Police were playing. Forgive me (e:Vincent), they weren't bad, but I didn't find them exceptional either. In the least, it was decent and provided good background music for playing pool and chillin with friends.

I met up with this guy that supposedly went to high school with (e:Theecarey), (e:Vincent) and myself. Carey says she remembers him, but I don't. It's odd, because I have pretty snazzy facial recognition skills. I suggest I simply didn't have a single class with him, therefore never saw him, so how would I know him now?

I think the most entertaining laugh of the evening came from (e:Decoyisryan) when he drew me a diagram of his #1 sexual fantasy.

Can you figure out what it is?

jason - 04/29/06 19:45
Ryan is on a ladder with his dream woman, getting a nice helmet scrub.

vincent - 04/29/06 19:03
It's OK, I'm not offended.

mrdt - 04/29/06 15:22
looks like two people strapped onto a childrens slide in the 69 position... I see a heat rash in the near future.

I think that's funny that you and carey went to high school with a bunch of my friends. shows what a small world we live in.

metalpeter - 04/29/06 14:55
Ok I allready know more then I want to. But for those that want to know more I'm sure if you look up what Jenks just said above me then that will give all the details. Now the way that was writen it means that his fantasy #1 as in a list not his number 1 fantasy.

jenks - 04/29/06 13:32
praying mantis?

theecarey - 04/29/06 13:22
um..that should read,"pics I took with my camera phone". hehe

I dont know how I remember that Ashton guy.. my memory/facial recognition is strangely high functioning. I dont recall classes or ever having a conversation..

Felt like a LP convention last night!

theecarey - 04/29/06 13:14
oh gawd Ryan, is that a PUPPY??? hahahahahaha!

last night was delightful.. no stresses, other than making sure that lone guy didnt rummage through your stuff. "I dont think he belongs to anyone".. hehe, very cute, LC.

I am going to try to post some pics I took with my camera from the girls bathroom.. I am sure you noted some of the graffiti? haha
