Trip to Buffalo Botanical Gardens
Category: gardens
Wow there are a lot of pictures here, I hope you enjoy them. I finally figured out how to asjust my cell phone camera to take pictures at 1.3MP. Now I know that is not a lot of megapixels in modern digital camera terms but it is pretty fanastic for a cell phone. You can see the full size ones here

This flower smelled so good. It is the flower of a ponderosa lemon which is a giant lemon that looks kind of like an ugly fruit.

image

Is anyone else werided out that it is not frozen or snowy out.

image

This is the park surrounding the botanical gardens.

Has anyone been to the Pierce Arrow Museum?

image

(e:terry) and I used here all the time when we worked at the HSBC atrium back in 2000 before we left for Germany.

image

I am so glad we only worked there for 2 or 3 months because that building seriously smells like toxic gas. The first day we started we were freaking out because we thought that our soon to be co-workers were constantly farting. Turns out it was built about some sort of sewer pipe. One time the whole room filled up with the sulfur gas in the summer and we had to evacuate.

Bye, bye HO oats. I wonder hwo the people that own the houses next store feel. I suppose there land value is going to skyrocket considering there was probably no resale value before.

image

image

This was not done in photoshop. I happend because (e:terry) drove past this pretty quick while I tried to take a pic. I thought it made it look cool.

image

Afterwards, we went to Pearl Street Brewery for Dinner. The food was pretty tasty. The atmosphere was crappy for the price. They mistook us for people that were interested in the bandits and asked us if we wanted to sit upstairs. What a freakin mistake. We ended up in the Bandits sports bar area which is totally not what I was intending.

I had a $22 entree called the Don that consisted of peppered steak, some veggies and some shrimp. I was kind of annoyed because my beer came in a plastic cup. I would say never agree to eat upstairs unless you are just eating bar food and drinking. It is definately not a "nice" place to eat.

image

When I got home, I found these two caked from (e:jesse) and his girlfriend. Thanks, they look so yummy.

those are VERY beautiful pictures of the flowers, I wish I could go to the Botanical Gardens again with my camera, it's a really cool place, and in my opinion the most beautiful place in buffalo

The funny thing is I almost went to the Buffet before the game. I think it is on the 3rd floor. Pearl street is more of a place for beer and has a sports atmosphere. They also have a post game party where you can meet the players but I usaly just go home. If I drove I would stay and have a few. That one wierd looking pic looks preaty cool. I admit I'm a bit jealous I still don't have any pics of the Bascila. I have gone by it a bunch of times go to The fair. But I wasn't about to get off the bus take pictures then wait on another one to go to the fair. Maybe one day I will take a trip just to take pictures of it.

Presents From Twisted
Category: birthdays
I got home from meeting with (e:shawnr) and Jamie Moses about the geek meet and Calendar and found that I had got a birthday package from (e:twisted). It was filled with the craziest Candy from Japan. I still have no idea what I am going to do for my birthday. We are seriously considering going to (e:jessika)'s part and then going out afterwards. How did you know that I love Botan rice candy. Serioulsy, it is one of my favorite treats in the world and you cannot buy them anywhere here.

This gum is so soft but it got all over my face.

Gummi freakin sushi. The clam was the best even though it was really peach flavor. I was thinking sushi flavored gummis might be good. I am saving the mold because wegmans now sells make your own gummi supplies.

What ever you wind up doing I hope you have fun for your birthday, I'm sure you will.
joshua - 01/21/06 15:10

twisted - 01/21/06 02:41

The Site
Category: hotwins
I was thinking about the ho girl's bitching about the site and would like to point out that both of you two are guilty of exactly what you are complaining about [inlink]lilho,382[/inlink] [inlink]hodown,212[/inlink]. (e:hodown), we just lived through a whole journal about a matress. Not that there is anything wrong with that, you all know I document everything, but you are the one saying we need more entertainment.

So I was thinking about it some more and I think the problem is a lack of straight men for the woman to get excited about. Anyone have an idea hwo to change that. Dare I say scandalous lesbian photos of (e:lilho) whipping her mistress in a black lycra unitard woiuld do it?
paul - 01/19/06 20:07
sounds like a good idea.
metalpeter - 01/19/06 18:59
Well I'm a stright male. The problem with me is I'm not verry exciting. I'm the loner keep to them selves type of person. Some might say if that is true then why do you write a blog. Well writing a blog and interacting with people is a differant thing. I thought a certain member of this site (beast for those who warn't here at the time) was going to stab me for not going to parties then. I admit maybe I desrved to be stabed. Why do I drag up the past. Fine I admit it I thought she was a preaty cool chick but meating her and everyone else who I hadn't met anyone in person before was to much pressure or to awakward is maybe the right term. But once I know people I can be interesting. What happend to page was it six or seven. Maybe there could be a general Gossip post like the news, and anyone could post in it if it was gossip or hook ups. I wouldn't cause I have no luck with ladies the cool ones I meet I either have fealings for and there taken or I get how rad they are but don't develop fealings for them. Maybe there could be a Topic of Adult only and it could be for hot pics and stories true or not.

I think those pictures are definetely the solution...to everything

terry gets new glasses
Category: stuff
I finally took half the day off to deal with all the crap at UB.

WHo thought iron steps were a good idea in Buffalo. You think they would have had better forsight.

image

I found Josephine and finally got to see the monkats [search]monkat[/search] I made in the virtual reality environment they were intended for. You can go see the virtual reality theatre piece, The trial the Trail on Friday. I think at Hallwalls but it might be at squeaky wheels, I will find out and post about it.

Terry is getting new glasses at Americas Best. He joined the plan last time so the eye exam as free. He won't let me post pictures of his glasses on my journal so I am trying on a pair for me. Well maybe a pair for the artvoice Geek Meet.

image

Did anyone else know that wrangler makes relaxed fit glasses?

image

I got my bluetooth GPS. I haven't gotten it to work yet. Someday I we be able to figure out where I am.
