[size=m]The gift of the internet[/size]
(e:mike), (e:terry) and I spent the day with the family in order to celebrate my mother's birthday. mike and I decided to buy her the internet for her birthday. For christmas we got the parents a computer system and now the high speed internet. Someday soon they will know it is like to actually use the internet. I don't think my father has ever actually explored the net. I am so curious where it will take them.

[size=m]Shango's Bistro[/size]
For brunch we went to Shango's Bistro at 3260 Main street (MAP TO: 3260%20MAIN%20ST) . For those of you that have not been there it is right across from UB South Campus. The food is unbelievable and the prices are quite reasonable. I had always thought it was more expensive.

The orange juice was quite fanastic. I like how it came with a slice of orange on it.


Where else can you get green eggs and ham with procuitto


We all ordered our own brunch meal but the Banana Glaze French Toast sounded so good we ordered an extra plate for the table.



(e:terry) had scrambled eggs with sausage


(e:mike) and I had sirloin and poached egg - I already weigh 145 how crazy is that. Up five pounds in like a month.


My father insisted on dessert so we all shared a balckberry cabernet sorbet

Dollar Store[/size]
Afterward we decided to go to Bingo ayt uncle Sams bingo in canada. Sorry (e:thhecarrey) we are never going again. It was definatey not nearly as fun as I rememebered the time that (e:iriesara), (e:terry) and I walked there from Buffalo.

We got there early so we took my mom on a excusrion to the dollar store. She loves those store and we just didn't feel like dressing up [inlink]pyrcedgrrl,18[/inlink] and going to walmart.

Does this look like a sex toy or what?


I never even got close to winning.


And the no smoking room in really tiny and smell worse than the gym. Its so opposite of here where the no smoking room is the big room and the smokers have a little box.


This one is for you (e:iriesara)

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::

So my application is coming along great.



The most fun part is the user interface for adding and removing users from your group discussion or document creation. It is all using surebert to load in users dynamically and then it lets you free drag them in or out of the group. The ones in the group get the cute little face icon and their names change font. Those outside of the discussion group are bold black.



You can already visit it at

This "morning" when I woke up at 1PM I heard someone knocking on the door. I ignored it because I was still feeling dazed from sleep. Man they were not kidding that the gym would make you sleep better. The problem is that I never had any problem sleeping. So now will I just always sleep?



So the noise at the door turned out to be a package. I assumed it was just YAMC but it turned out to be a valentines box from (e:hodown). Who else would get me maple syrup and mapple candy with a mini shrine to Virgin Mary.

The best part is a bottle of pure maple syrup labled northern comfort.





Inside there was also a bootie music CD.

I used to have a really big shrine to Mary but one day I came home and (e:terry) and (e:jacob) dressed it all up in orange nd black hell style. It was mostly stolen goods anyways so it probably fit.

Ok I am off to my little cousins birthday. We are already 2 hours late. The kids beat the hell out of a sponge bob square pants pinata. All that was left were some limbs.

The neighbors in front had to put their cat to sleep and they are having a party. I am so excited. now I can finally visit the rest of the house. Go dead cats!

So I started going to the gym at the BAC downtown with (e:terry) and (e:lilho). It smells like high school. I had forgotten the smell of a lockeroom. It is a weird musty smell. Rememeber what it would smell like when you left your towel in the gym locker between gym classes. It is kind of like that smell.

The machines are pretty fun but I felt like I was going to throw up afterwars.

We are planning on going dancing tonight at Opium if we aren't broken fromt he gym



and to the Rabies Beamer Party [inlink]jacksmack,26[/inlink] tomorrow.

Has anyone checked out which is microsofts answer to online mapping that is significatly more amazing than google maps in terms of the clarity and options of the images. You can even view you house very upclose at bird's eye view and choose from four different angles.



Today at work I finished writing my drag/drop and effects javascript library that I have been working on. Eventually it will bring new features to the site. Also the discussion program is like 80% done. I just need to build in some sort of diff feature for comparing versions and its set to go. Adding users by dragging and dropping the little cute heads is really fun. You will see.

This picture is actually reduced here you should see the original. Make sure to click on the large building icon near the top left of the map. It super zooms in then. I am surprised they let you get this close to such sensitive places
