Now I have 5 jobsCategory: work
So after being really angry and hating everything that is Buffalo for a little bit, I now have landed five jobs for the fall. It seems a little ridiculous to have to have five jobs but I guess it will make things interesting. I will be a multimedia specialist at Canisius (the same life sucking dead end job I had for the last four years), teaching advanced web programming at Canisius (sounds fun), teaching 3D modeling at Medaille, being a Landlord, and being the research assistant/3D modeler for Josephine Anstey's The Trial the Trail. Altogther, I will make a little bit more than $30,000 and have no health insurance.
Before all that starts I need to finish writing my thesis and build GF! for (e:shawnr) .
Really all I ever want to do is work on (e:strip) . It is the only true passion I have, but it is totally anti-reality in terms of making me have health insurance and a nice house. I wish I could have a grant. I guess that would require writing for a grant and I am not capable of getting that started at this point, argh. (e:matthew) and I also have this really amazing business plan but putting into action will require more effort than we have ever put into anything.

Cleaning and Eating and Saying GoodbyeCategory: mobile
The sidekick II is fried now. It got put in the driveway in the sun and I think the insides melted. So in one way it is good that the bugs are dead. In another way it is bad because I am phoneless and it is making me crazy. I have a feeling it is making (e:twisted) crazy too.
We are having a sausage, gumbo and chicken dinner party. (e:lilho) and (e:terry) are cooking it from scratch. I spent the entire afternoon at Nonna's cleaning out. I can't believe how much stuff we ended up taking. I am glad that (e:mike) wanted everything because otherwise we would have ended up with even more. I am still hunting for the popcorn maker!
Today is the last day of break for me. Then I have to start writing the thesis. There are very few days left.

Taste of BuffaloCategory: events
I went to the taste of Buffalo with (e:matthew) and (e:terry) . We also took our neighbor Katie. It was pretty crowded for later evening. The niagara square area is pretty spacious but the part of deleware was crowded beyond Main Street levels. I wonder what the future holds for the event.
For about $20 I had 7 crawfish, coconut crusted shrimp with mango sauce, two lamb sticks (one piece from rack of lamb), jerk chicken, rice, yummy tortellini from Pearl Street Brewery, and a Sicilian rice ball. I realy liked the Sicilian rice ball. It was kind of like a ball of risotto, battered and fried with tomato sauce. I was also very yummy. Here
is a recipe for it. It is also known as Arancini. I never had them before. Although I am 1/4 Sicilian, my nonna never cooked so we ate mostly venetian food with an occasional Sicilian treat my grandmother learned to cook in America from other Sicilians on the west side. I really think my mom would like this one.
I can't believe how many people waited in line to be advertised by crest and dove soap. Did any of you get any of that free crap.
So I ate and I also worked out today. SoonI will be buff, at that point I will start beating people up for fun, so watch out - lol.

I Didn't wait it either of those lines but I was handed some dove soap so I took it and I do plan on trying it. I got into the Hagan Das line that was cool and free and good. I think the Niagara Square Idea was good. But Moving it to Delaware was a bad Idea. The street is to narrow then you have the booths. What they should have done is either pushed the booths back onto the sidewalk or had booths on the other side of the circle. I can't think of the street name that leads from Niagara square to Where they have thursday in the square. But since one block was blocked off they should have had some of the delaware places up there and it would have made walking on delaware more possible.

Pano's SucksCategory: food
Just when I thought that it was safe to maybe eat at scumbag Pano's this happens [inlink]metalpeter,376[/inlink]. Thanks for catching that (e:metalpeter). I can't believe the State Board is letting Pano knock the Atwater house down. I had heard through the grapevine that they were planning on incorporating it into the new restaurant and would have fully supported that. I guess I will just never eat there again. It sucks for Pano's because (e:terry), (e:matthew) and I used to spend a lot of money.
Well, (e:matthew) heard even more rumours about Elmwood that I kept waiting for him to post but he hasn't, here it is. He said he overheard that all the stores from Forest Avenue up to Pano's is owned by Hans Mobius and are planned for demolition to build a high rise condo thing. Then Forest will become a traffic circle with an underground parking area. I mean it's only a rumor, but the more Elmwood moves away from the traditional city, businesses in houses setup to a Transit Road or Niagara Falss Blvd look, the less people will shop here. I mean it will never be able to compete on equal gounds with shopping plaza's in the even expansive suburbs.
What I am waiting for is a GAP and a Ben and Jerry's. Then it will be the ideal suburban plaza expansion and the perfect time to get the hell out of here.
Here is some confirmation about the ownership of those houses by Hans Mobius on the preservation Society page, although I think the text is a little outdated.
I personally blame all this hoopla on the coop. They have now set a precident for knocking down older buildings to build new ones instead of adapting buildings. Even if the building they demolished was not as historically valuable as the one that Pano's wants to wreck, it is still the beginning.

I saw the article in friday's papper but didn't have time to read it so I went on line to find the article. It is only fair to say that I'm using Adelphia's high speed internet at the taste of Buffalo right now. It is a lot of fun and lots of hoties. But back to my point. That rumor is insane. If I where Pano I would at least Keepn the front of the house and porch and then you could have a patio over looking Elmwood like Coffe &, I had been there when it was a resturant before it was a coffee place. I can understand that he might not want to fix the place up, but that house has a great look and looks a lot nicer then his restaurant. As long as the entrance didn't need steeps and a remp if he wanted to he could make it work, and I hope he decides to incorporate the house into his new place.
