I saw a man on the corner of my street by the KFC wearing a devil costume. He was holding a sign that said KFC is HELL for chickens. Ciao.

thanksCategory: moving
I want to send out my thanks to (e:Leetee) for the tremendous amount of help you gave me in moving. It's a shitty job and I am very grateful for your assistance. Two loooong days of moving back and forth to Hamburg craming tiny Aqua Mouse to the brim. I'd still be moving if it weren't for you!!! Also thanks to (e:Jason) for helping move a load with your car. I know you were very tired so I appreciate that you came to help out while you could.
The apartment is coming along nicely. We still have work to do in putting things together, but we should finish it off this weekend. The place is lovely. Our landlord is way cool, and as it turns out, he was also (e:Robin)'s landlord. Small world.
I got zonked on the head by a falling 2x4 during the move and have been nursing a mild concusion for a few days.
Marched with (e:Libertad)'s Buddhist group in the Pride Parade and had a great time.
That's about all I have time for right now, still much unpacking to do. Ciao!

Glad everytbibg is going well with the new place. Glad people helped you out that was nice of them, moving really sucks.
On another note it was nice to see someone I knew in the parade. It was nice to see Budhists marching. I couldn't read all the signs I saw but I finaly saw one of the budhist signs. One thing I like is you never see them trying (at least in Buffalo) trying to convert people to their religion.

believeCategory: potpourri
Yvonne and I spent all friggin day working on our Amazing Race application video. We were sweating our balls off in my furnace apartment. My windows are small and don't really open all the way. Plus my antique fan sounds like it's about to crap out. Nonetheless, we finished recording and then her daughter Faben helped us piece together some beautiful bean footage.
She did an awesome job. Then Yvonne added a touch of music, and walla, we have an entertaining 2 minutes and 58 seconds of why we should be a team on the next race. We ran into trouble trying to record it though. It must be submited on VHS and it's trapped in the computer at the moment. We gave up at 3am, our brains were fried. HELP!
In between filming and editing I took some time out to watch the Sabres win. All you non-believers, so tense about the OT. Of COURSE the Sabres are going to win. You just have to BELIEVE.
(e:Nejifer) and I were walking back to our cars down Elmwood when this girl came out of her apartment walking toward some trash on the curb and asked if I wanted a dress. "What size?", I ask. "XS". Yeah, sorry, lovely dress though. Then she asks, "Well how about a jacket, it's a Medium". I take it, it's a light P coat. Then she continues, "want these shoes?". They were a pretty good looking pair of Pumas. I inquire, "Those are boys shoes yeah? What size?". "I think 8". I take them, just because. I'm not particularly fond of used sneaks, but these didn't look too worn and new inserts can do wonders. I just tried them on, and they fit perfectly. How random.

This may be too little too late, but Show Productions on main street does vhs to DVD conversions. Bet they do the reverse for a price.

That is so odd that some girl would just give stuff away like that. Wonder if she lost a roomate or girlfriend or boyfriend or something. Its amazing that the shoe fit.
In terms of the video I can suggest a couple thing but with out knowing what equpipment you have it might not help much. If you have a DVD burner you can burn the Video onto a DVD. Then from there if you have a DVD player and a VCR you can play the DVD and input it to the VCR and record through the imput settings.
Or if you have a VCR/DVD Recorder some of them will record on Video tapes from dvd. Some combo DVD players and VCR will tape on VHS from DVDs. Hope that helps.

so hotCategory: photos
It was a beautiful, albeit sweaty, 96 degree sunshine day yesterday. Myself, Jen and Yvonne spent it in Niagara Falls, ON. They posted photos as well. Yvonne and I were trying to make our audition tape for the Amazing Race. 101 things you can do with a head cover. It looks hysterical. As Yvonne said, perhaps we can post a clip here. I'll shut up now, enjoy the photos.
P.S. In honor of the World Cup soccer tournament about to take place in Germany, a new user sound.
P.S.S. A few of the photos are blury on purpose.
(e:imk2) and I sat around for 3 hours trying to figure out that we were missing necessary cables to transfer to video to the computer/vcr. oy!

do cows moo?Category: adventure
In the middle of the woods I heard a cow moo. I wondered, is this term technical or slang? Do cows really moo? A horse, for instance, whinnys. We don't say it 'eeehehehehehe's'. A dog barks, we don't say it 'woofs'. So does a cow 'moo'?
So the mystery train of adventure lead us south. I didn't know where we were going, but we got a little lost on the way. It was a brilliant mistake, because there was a pile of crap at the end of someone's driveway with a FREE sign. I scored two retro chairs. Carey and I found a box of things, we don't really know what they are. A box of pop tops with little corks inside. I dunno, but we took them because they were interesting.
So, finally on the right path, we end up at the Griffin Sculpture Park. It was amazing and I had no idea this place existed! Yes, it was raining, but I believe this made things more ideal. It was so serene. We were alone with the sounds of frogs, birds and rainfall. The fog gave the place a dream like feel, leaving me wondering if I had even really been there at all. I have no idea how far we hiked, but I'm pooped. We polished the day off with a feast in the field that Carey packed in a cooler. Thanks again, it was a perfect day. Without further ado.....
carey put her poncho on backwards and asks me
'what am i doing wrong here?'
need assistance? this wooded parking space is for you.
holy shit i found pappa smurf!
would you like some wheatables?
at the tippy top...
... of this castle
who looks more like the sculpture?

Do cows moo? Yes they do; it's just a tad deeper than the "moo" we humans would pronounce.
And you can also tell a cow by her voice, just like you can tell humans.
Sigh... cityslickers....

that place has a very "alice in wonderland" quality to it. i bet it would be a lot of fun when one is tripping on shrooms.

That rules. I have vague, distant memories of visiting that place once when I was a kid, having a blast climbing through all the sculptures. Perhaps we will take (e:dragonlady7) 's parents there when they visit next week.

yeah those new KFC potato/corn/chicken/gravy/cheese "bowl" concoction things are exactly why the rest of the world things we (americans) are nasty fat pigs. Go ahead and be a glutton, but don't show it off on tv.
Wow that is awesome I have never seen anyone protest that KFC. I used to go there sometimes. But I stoped after I learned about the chicken abuse. I love how good it smells. Oh on a side note not sure if you are a Sobe drinker. But sometimes that A Plus next door has sobe 2 for $2. Any of ther 2 for are exactly that if you only buy one you get charged the full price, I belive.
Its brutal - but there is worse. I guarantee that DT knows how fois gras is made - there is a good reason why producing fois gras is illegal in the United States. Ever thought about being force fed to death?
The KFC on Delaware is fucking gross - I went into there once and have yet to return. That mashed potato bowl looks like A-1 stoner food though. Take a look at that thing - who hasn't done exactly that during Thanksgiving?
Actually they renamed named it KFC because of the negative health connotation of the "Fried" element.
All chicken is farmed brutaly, forced to live its short existence with three roommates in a shoebox.
Yeah they are really chickens, as far as I know, but I hear they are "farmed" brutally. Then again I'm not sure if there is any real "humane" way of slaughtering our food.
See, this is what I like. The guy in the devil suit isn't just a complainer or a whiner. He took ACTION!
OMG, I love him! Last night I was just wishing that nasty KFC would close. No one goes there and their windows are all greasy. Are they really chickens? Isn't that why they can't call themselves Kentucky Fried Chicken anymore, cause they aren't really chickens?
Did you get a pic of it?
