Paul, great work with the restaurant guide. I really like the format, and the idea as a whole. One of my favorite things to do in Buffalo was to try out all the good restaurants. I kind of moved away from going out and getting wasted at bars, to going out and having some good wine and awesome food...and remembering it the next day ;) Guess it's just another sign of growing up.

I am really missing Buffalo these days. I don't feel at home here in Hollywood. I know that if I got a job that I really loved in film then it would make the homesickness irrelavant, but I have yet to find that job. I have found that you have to grunt it out in an internship before you can get into something you like. Or, if you have a contact out here that always helps.

I miss the fall...and the color of the leaves. Out here it's all palm trees and other misc. trees that don't need any water to survive. Since I have been out here it has rained 2 times.....that is in 10 months. I know you all must think that I'm crazy to miss the fall, and rain......but growing up in that environment is what makes me that way. Granted, having it 80 and sunny everyday (including today) is great, but it makes time feel all meshed together. And when it doesn't rain for 9 months, it makes everything feel dirty. Add that to the smog problem out here and the result is a layer of filth on your car after about 3-4 days. One that you can clearly see, and even write in (clean me!!!)

Boulderexile is right....this website makes me miss buffalo every time I visit. Where are you now Boulderexile?...and what made you leave? I left to pursue a job in the film industry. Movies are my passion....and they always will be. However, it sucks that the movie capitol of the world is out here in hollyweird!

I think it would be great to get a movie production studio off the ground in the Buffalo area. It is very close to Toronto, and NYC....which are very successful locations to shoot movies. Granted, Buffalo doesn't have the skyline to compete, but the talented individuals in and around Buffalo would make up for it.

Maybe some day....

another sunday...and for that matter....week, ruined by the bills.

uhhhhhhhh

LETS GO BILLS!

Hey Sqb, glad to have you back. I really do enjoy your photographs whenever you put them up, so I'm glad that you are still around and will continue to put up pics!

I am stressing out over here regarding my living situation, money, and going home for the holidays. My lease is going to expire in january of this year, and after holiday-expenses I don't know if I'm going to have the money to find another place and put down a security deposit. There is one possibility which I hope works out. There is a couple that lives down the hall. They have 2 kids and they all live in a 1 bedroom apartment. They are looking for a 2 bedroom, (which I have) and I will be looking for a 1 bedroom, once my roommate leaves! :)

So I just have to try and set it up so that we can make a switch. That would be a very convienient move, right down the hall.....no uhaul :)

Adios.steve

So the weather out here in LA is still very nice, but to be honest with you, I am very much missing the fall season. I never thought I would say that I am sick of having beautiful weather all the time. Fall, for me is the best time of the year. It's the time where it's still nice out, and so much to do. I love the changing of the leaves, and the brisk smell in the air every morning when you wake up.

It was also the time of soccer in high school. I really do miss soccer. I wish that I could still play it, but physical injuries to my back have made that impossible. I can still remember the games, played in the fall night air...ahh...I wish I could go back.

On a side note....there has been a women sunbathing topless at my pool for the past week or two. I haven't met her, until today. I was outside laying in the sun, getting some rays, and her and her boyfriend came out. I can't remember their names, because they were very french, and had thick accents. None the less, I wish that Americans had more of an open policy on nudity. We seem to freak out whenever there is skin exposed that isn't "correct" ex. janet jackson

Chill out !

peace,
Steve

On a side note....this is the biggest amount of clouds I have seen here in months. Laying by the pool today I was confused when the sun went away for a moment. Low and behold....it was a cloud! I haven't seen them in so long!
