Gay And Lesbian Democrats
Category: politics
I had no idea how much fancy was in stonewall democrat. Here they have a giant fancy tent set up in the plaza outside where (e:hodown) used to work. The place across from the golden somewhere they have ice skating in the winter.

I hated working at HSBC but some part of me really misses the culture of downtown buffalo business daytime in the summer. It is constantly bustling with people and stuff to do.

By the way gay pride is this weekend. I want to do new estrip interviews. Anyone want to be the interviewer. Maybe (e:jill) again?

pearl street brewery
Category: food
Roswell had a little party at Pearl Street Brewery tonight in honor of the launching of the electronic medical records system. There was so much tasty food. Chicken fingers, artichoke hearts, mozarella balls, chicken wings, nacho dip extravaganza and an open bar.

It was well worth the walk over here. It started with the DaVinci code and now a coworkers asked, "Do we believe in god." Where is this gonna go?

Hiking at Zoar Valley and Xmen
Category: hiking
We went hiking at Zoar Valley followed by seeing Xmen and going to sleep. Sorry (e:robin) that I didn't see any of your messages, I thought you would still be around today. Hope everything goes good on your trip down south.

Zoar Valley was nice as usual, there were a million people to the point where there were no more parking spots in the Point Peter lot. I was so summery out, actually warm enough to swim around in the creek. I didn't bring my phone so I didn't take any pics but matt brought his camera. Hopefully, he will post some pics. I stole this one off his camera.

Afterwards we went to go see Xmen, which was the worst piece of crap movie I ever saw. I mean generlaly I hate movies but then I went to see V for Vendetta and thought it was pretty great so I decided to give Xmen a chance. What a waste of $30 for the three of us. I prefered the stupid Silent Hill movie. At least it had a plot. I would never watch another xmen movie again. Special effects do not substitute for the plot of a movie.

Went hiking today, though... after a day of rest. lol

Wegmans and blood pressure
Category: food
Made a quick trip to wegman's in order to pick up some food for the week. I was also out of protein powder and cliff bars.

While we were there I decided to check out my blood pressure which is normally extremely low. Seemed a little high but I tested it again two minutes later and it was normal. I don't trust that machine but I do want to know why my bloodpressure was like 10-15 points higher than usual. Is it that cholestrol laden protein powder?

Does anyone else go grab a magazine for the checkout adventure? This time I grabbed mobile computing magazine which I paged through with the equivalent passion a suburban fervor teenage girl has for a fashion magazine. "Will I still look nerd trendy enough with my laptop and phone through 2007 or do I need a (insert explicative) model to maintain my geek suave."

In the magazine I saw disney is making cell phones for kids that allow the parents to track the children from their phones. Two words: creepy and cancer. Those kids are gonna have brain tumors the size of lemons by the time they are 15.

Thanks to everyone for coming to the party last night. Who has pictures to post? I think everyone was quite thoroughly inebriated which turned out to be fun. I stayed up with the squireels, (e:robin) and soon to be epeep sarah-paul till about 5am.

Clams taste good at wegmans but these kind freak me the hell out. On eitm ewe were in vacation where they only had these funky clams. It was very dissapointing. I mean I love seafood but these ones remidn me of that Klinmgon dish QAGH (WIKIPEDIA - qagh) - lots of info here -

(e:terry) really wants a passion flower (WIKIPEDIA - passion flower) plants but they are $16.99

130/80? Pshaw...

I used to have 180/130 in Buffalo. No, you read that right. Yes, it _was_ 180/130.

Now I've stopped measuring it. ;-)

had a good time at the impromtu party last night. thanks for hosting and the invite! Good to see everyone... new and "old". :O)
jenks - 05/28/06 15:42
yeah you should totally get the passion flower. $17? that's like 2 coffees at spot. ;) They're cool. I wonder if it would grow passionfruit too. Is buffalo warm enough for them?
twisted - 05/28/06 15:29
Nice Passion flower vine!

I had a good time should have brought more drinks then I did, oh well. I hope you like the pics I posted. One thing from last night caused me to have a question about the site. Some people made those hand writen banners. That got me to thinking on my computer I don't see banners. I remember when you put up a few picuture of the new or custom themes they had banners and my view dosn't. How would I get to see banners? Also in my custome view The background and bars between my journals is there a way to change them? How would I do that I can't figure it out? I use firefox when on (e:strip) but usaly use Internet explorer for most other sites or some sites if that is any help.
