So I spent the last three days in a sort of computer coma, trying to get the server all set up and out of the house. It is finally set up and at artvoice but for some reason their network has crashed. I hope it has nothing to do with the server. I am not going to actually move the site until after it has been sucessfully running for a week. Once it is all up and going, I am probably going to start a video blog.

I took a lot of random pictures of my life along the way but had no time to post. (e:lilho) provided me with food. One day lobster and steak the day before rack of lamb - it was so yummy. She is a hard worker.







At some point I went to my parents house to pick up my dad to go take care of some tenant business. Everyone has paid their rent now. Somehow they got us to hand up a shelf for them. I always end up doing something weird liek that. My dad says it brings respect to a landlord/tenant relationship. I think it wastes my time but I am still learning.

There are almost no tomotoes left at Nonna's [inlink]matthew,564[/inlink]. I brought a buschel to my mother the other day. The end of the tomatoes is going to be really sad. In a weird way it is almost like the end of Nonna's cooking forever ;(



Tremont, where I grew up is on the other side of elmwood, north of the city. This is across elmwood from where I grew up.



This dairy queen was also across elmwood, which meant as a kid I had to cross a big street to get there. I remember wanting to cross so bad. Eventually I just did.



I spent a lot of night hanging around here with my friend Heather Killian. She has moved back to buffalo and we never see each other.

The coop has Quorn on sale for $2.99 /per box. I bought four boxes. I really love this stuff even if some people think it is made out of humans.



They also had red pepper for the not so sale price of $5.99/pound. By the way (e:joshua), they had fuji apples - even organic ones.

So (e:lilho) had a starbucks gift certificate from the holidays that she wanted to use. I don't normally go there but I figured if it's freewhy not. You can't believe the packaging I got for this piece of cake I ordered.

I thought the carboard and rope bag was over the top but there was another cardboard box inside. Never again.

The cake looked good


The bag was a little over the top


Especially seeing as it had rope handles and a heavy cardboard box inside


At least it tasted good. I don't think I would eat there again unless it was free.

We did our monthly shopping trip today and even though I bought lots of fancy food e.g. lobster tail, rack of lamb, buffalo, fondue - it only came to $300.21 for three people for 3 weeks.

I really think it is way cheaper to buy expensive fancy food at the grocery store than to go out even occasionally. Like when we went to Betty's last week I got two mini lamb chops for like $25, It's not like that kind of meat is hard to cook. But today I got a whole rack of lamb for for 3 for $15 at wegmans.

They aso have garbage pail kids now. This packs claims to have one unopened pack from the original series.

I think I still have almost all of the originals.

Today while spending the whole morning cleaning the house I thought to myself, why am I wasting my time doing this. I mean at one point I was cleaning out the fridge and sweeping and I would have been spending my time setting up the server for the move on monday.

I mentioned to (e:terry) that I thought we should pay someone to clean our house. I would be willing to pay someone like $50 for three hours of laundry and dishes. He thinks that makes me a classist asshole.

I think it's way above minimum wage and not everyone wants full timework, say students, so why not contribute to the trickle down effect.

When I was in high school I was a butler for this guy. He paid us around $8/hour to prepare and present his dinner in the evening and wash the dishes. For me it presented an opportunity to make more money than I was making as a cashier at Vicks and frankly, it was much nicer not having to deal with retails and the low level chain of command politics.

I just don't see anything wrong with it.

Recycling was so out of control this time because I found lots of stuff that had to go when I was cleaning the frigerator. There must have been 4 pickle jars and 4 speghetti jars. My hands smell sour in such a gross way now. Next time I am wearing gloves.

Wish me luck with the server. It is going to be so much work. I wish I had another server, database person to work with.

I am drunk and at the Pink at 7PM. I went out with my buddy Tony from work. (e:lilho) and he and I are going to eat at Sahara grill and then off to the We Are Scientists show at the icon. I havent't been there since I was like 18 and then once when it was club E.

Has anyone notices this graffitti in the oarking lot at the pink.
