I was at target with (e:lilho) a while back and took this picture of a new kind of men's product. I think there was shaving creme and some deodorant combo.

I never use deoderant, I actually never have. Well, for one week when I was 15 I tried old spice and it gave me a painful rash. I never tried deodorant again. Anyhow, this is marketed as a manly product, with the label looking like car grease or some sort of mechanic product. What a weird way to corner the male market. The display rack looked exactly like something out of the automotive section.

It is using the ultra-masculine achetype of the workman (mechanic), but the product itself strips you of manly smells. I mean when you think mechanic do you think smells fresh or smells like a workout?

This morning I ran to Wilson's Farms to get my paper with the link section. As soon as I got outside I started ripping it apart as soon as I got outside. I couldn't find the link section and started to think I got a bunk paper. Luckily I called my parents before I complained about it at Wilson's Farms, hahaha.

It has been so long since I read any paperbased media that I had no idea the link section is actually in Mondays Buffalo News

So now I told everyone and feel really stupid. I guess you all know now. Sorry if you bought an extra paper but I have found there is plenty of good reading inside.

While I was already out I decided to stop by spot and get an orange juice. As you can see in the picture, the orange juice, like the cream cheese is corporate, branded and labeled.

My visit to spot is actually part of a larger plot to get echinacea from Feel Rite. Echinacea [search]echinacea[/search] really works, I know I have written about this before. I am not actually sick but two guests staying with me are, so I figure better safe than sorry.

I still miss reading esqb 's journal, please contact me sqb.

I sent you an email, if you didn't get it please email me or IM me at 'paulsidekick' Thanks.

My old bedroom at my parent's house has become my mother's hobby and sewing room. It is so weird to see it so different. I makes me realise that I am really grown up. My mother's room at my nonna's still looks like when she lived there but nonna has an extra studio for sewing. Someday I'll post some pics of it from when I lived there. I was really quite an installation artwork space.

I am visiting katie with emily and even over on cottage street. Cottage street is in that area of the west side behind the pink. Near the parking lot by Allen St. Hardware.

At the very end of the park is this crazy looking mod house. This part of town has much diverse architechture than e-town. I really like the way it looks. I was thinking that maybe each section of buffalo needs a thereneighborhood.com. Where should we make the next sight? What about a spanish speaking site centered around grant/ west side. Do you think enough people here have computers and an internet connection? I wonder if there are any statistics about this that I can find? If not it might be interestting to conduct a survey.

I will be sitting outside taking pictures and clearing out my phones picture memeory as Katie has 4 dogs and a cat, so I can't go inside because of allergies, so expect a couple more posts.
