Cell Phones and Tree Fallings
It seems this little storm made me realize how reliant everyone is on cell phones. Everyone I know who doesn't have power is dying b/c there cell phone power has died and so they have no way of reaching anyone. Plus so many people's cell phones are out of whack. Like mine never rings but then I will get like 8 voicemails at once but can't listen to them and my battery dies about every hour cuz it is searching for service and keeps going into digital roam. Same thing is happening to many of my friends which has caused many confusing conversations/situations today. The only place i really had good reception was outside Jill's house for a little bit earlier and in marykate's window sill for like a little while tihs afternoon.

Weird note: did anyone else notice that there is trees down everyewhere but hardly any hit houses. At least here in Kenmore that seems to be the situation. I walked all over Kenmore and saw a tree down in front of like every house but none seemed to have hit any of the houses. It seems crazy. Is it the same everywhere?

Yes!
We have the same situation here by parkside! I guess it's because the bulk of the weight was on the branches and so those came down right off of the trunk. In some cases, like the tree in front of our house, it split at the trunk - but we were lucky, it fell AWAY from the house (on to chico's car, but we managed to get it out from under before the snow got too deep Friday night).

While it is unlucky that the trees have been de-branched and otherwise mangled, at least people's homes are mostly intact, which is so very important...

Baby Joe Mesi/Snow
Today someone said I was just like Baby Joe Mesi the boxer. Sure it was a 7 year old but still, that's something. I guess lifting my 10 lb weights is paying off, haha. I had to pick my bosses kid up at the busstop today. It is weird that anyone could really pick the kid up. I could have been a stranger. It seems like in this day and age they would have osme other system. I guess he is 7 or 8. I guess you can fend for yourself by then? Needless to say I was freezing standing in the slushy snow for like a half hour waiting for the bus in a tshirt and spring jacket which is all I brouth to work since it was warm this morning. And then found out I didn't actually have to be there and could have waited at the house....ehh at least I got to leave Eckerd for about an hour....


I guess this is the most damage ever or something. That is what they said on the news. They think they will have to wait til tomrrow to see but it may be the costliest natural disaster in Buffalo history....and its only mid-October...great

Poor Mario Lopez
I say that way too often. Especially considering Mario Lopez is a celebrity (be it b or c list), was on the best show of all time (Saved By The Bell), is on another really good show (Dancing with the Stars) and can dance really well and dates lots of celebrities.

For some odd reason though I often find myself saying poor Mario Lopez...and meaning it. The most recent time was after reading how he will take whatever Eva Longoria gives him, even if it is just a date here and there and then leaving him again for her boyfriend Tony. Craziness...poor Mario Lopez

Sunglasses Fiasco and Weekendness
Wowser! When (e:southernyankee) comes to town, the partying don't stop. I love her! She is a non-stop bucket of fun. (e:terry) already wrote about it and let me tell you , it was all that and more. FYI , Pink Monkey martinis are super tasty. They are strawberry banana flavored and sooo good. I had them a few nights in a row. And to top it off like I bought everyone a martini at Fugazi and there were like 10 of us and it was only $18. How crazy cheap is that and yet they were all soo good! Too bad (e:southernyankee) is gone! I can't wait until she comes back again!

Secondly, I did (e:jenks) quiz and it said Mike: lewd street performer. Could that be more perfect? If you're not sure, check the pictures from any party in the last few years and you will see my true inner street performer coming out...haha

Now the real point of this whole post. I love sunglasses but I always break them. I have had to buy some pairs numerous times in like a few weeks cuz I keep breaking them> Well now I haven't broke any in a while and I had found a pair in my car that I had forgoten about and loved and of course i left them on the seat, get out of a long day at work in a somewhat tired/angry mood, throw my pop bottle in the car....and of course it lands right on the sunglasses, smashing them to pieces.!! Why me? I should get sunglasses made of Kevlar or something.!!!

Is that your lewd street performer, or are you just happy to see me? haha
theecarey - 10/09/06 23:22
mmmm, those Martinis were fun indeed! We have to make it a mission to try every flavor they make!
mk - 10/09/06 22:52
you have the worst sunglasses luck ever!!! it is seriously ridiculous. this story has happened on so many occasions. naturally being the genius that i am, i dont really know what kevlar is, but i'm thinking you could also write to the Nalgene company. maybe they could make indestructible sunglasses. or maybe you should just wear them all the time. OR MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO GET YOUR FREAKIN EYES CHECKED AND THEN YOU CAN WEAR GLASSES THAT ARE TINTED. GO TO THE EYE DOCTOR. NOWWWWW!!!!!! BEFORE YOU KILL US ALL!!!
jason - 10/09/06 22:21
Ask Santa Paolo for some indestructible shades. I'm sure he can find some for you SOMEWHERE.

Oh, and there was a SouthernYankee sighting at Mother's the other night. She's awesome.
