:)

update: I have a taker!
woo, I went over to (e:pyrcedgrrl) 's house and we jumped in her car (as 2 of my four doors do not open.. I will get it fixed before winter or once I have to get in Dukes of Hazzard style, whichever comes first)

So our venture out took us to Sahara Grill (still Yum), SPot (not so yum) and Pink (Magic Potion hat #9 on tap- yum).

I saw a few girls come into Spot to use the bathroom. I was intrigued by their outfits, pondering whats new at Abercrombie this week. It had a bit of a buckeneer flare. I thought I was imagining things when a few fellas, making fun of them, responded with an "Aaaaarrrrr". I giggled as I took a closer look to their attire and realized that it was indeed to the theme of pirate.
They left shortly thereafter.
Finishing our coffee, we went outside. (e:pyrcedgrrl) was going to take a stealth picture of (me) them, when they suddenly came running across the way to jump in the picture w/ me. I found myself surrounded by girl and boy pirates, laughing really hard. Hence the updated post with pictorals.

brain cell energy level depleted
Category: potpourri
This week has been insane and mildly stressful. After a minor cold which killed this past weekend, I found myself thinking that each day was further in the week than what it was. This was confusing, as I want this Friday to come quickly (its pay day) and I need to do "weekend" things. Yet I had an ass load of school work, including an exam from hell. So I did not want the days to fly by, as I needed plenty of time to get the work done. Which is due, um, now. I am in class (its break time) and I have the completed product next to me. I am nervouse about it, as I always am.

I kicked ass on the last paper. I took a risk in the style and content and it paid off. Embarrassingly it was modeled in front of the class.

On the work front, I was called in for a second interview [inlink]theecarey,22[/inlink], it was quite entertaining, and I can't quite pinpoint as to why. (e:pyrcedgrrl), I will fill you in on all the fabulous details, as I am sure you will appreciate the story I have to tell, lol. Call me!!


I am very ready for the weekend. I am looking forward to engaging in some fun activities, although I have nothing on my itinerary as of yet. I thought I was starting my friday off at happy hour, but I am not so sure about that now. (e:ladycroft), I know you wanted to get some drinks.. are we still on?

any ideas? anything going on? I know we have a photo shoot, as per (e:alison). What else???? get in touch peeps, .. 622-6639

OooOooh, i am planning on buying an mp3 player of some sort. I really have no idea what I want other than these expectations:

play lots and lots of music
play music through fm frequency
have extra gadgets to play with
did I say, play lots and lots of music?

ok, so there are diffents kinds, models and brands.. where do I start.. what do you recommend.. what should I stay away from, etc?
I love electronics, and while this shouldn't be a difficult process, I want to make sure I am getting something wonderful.. so please, I would appreciate advice. Thank you in advance!!!!

Ok, back to class- till 10pm. Then off to Sonoma Grill (we celebrate on the last class), then Caputi's (becuase I was encouraged to stop by).

The bed. yum..
The Friday.. W00T!
theecarey - 10/08/05 01:42
(e:sbrugger)- great and rough nights huh? yeh, I have had a few of those myself, however I am curious on your take on the rough part?
I tend to go for happy hour(s). Start at four and stay till.. um, when do the bars close 'round here? I cant keep up with some of my friends....
ladycroft - 10/07/05 16:04
call me
sbrugger - 10/07/05 08:38
Encouraged to go to Caputi's? You have friends who enjoy getting you into trouble, eh? :) (I've had some great...and rough...nights there.)
pyrcedgrrl - 10/06/05 23:30
oh, and P.S.
As for the MP3 player...after actually owning a couple and knowing a few friends who have had nothing but issues, I have one suggestion on where to start: The Apple store @ the Galleria.

Please get an iPod...you will be nothing but pleased and you will get a discount w/ your college ID. :)

I'll come for the ride if you go. I love that store- drooling over 30" computer monitors. *sigh*
pyrcedgrrl - 10/06/05 23:28
I haven't seen you on-line at all.. : I will give you a call soooooon. I want to hear about interview funness...especially after the uber-amusing first interview! :)

Want to do SOMETHING this weekend- figures I have the credit card payment this week and am poor. *grrs* I think I'm starting that job very soon (hopefully Tuesday) so money is on zee way. :) I am in desperate need of sushi.

Mah birfday is WEDNESDAY. woo! I get to be old like you. ;)

alison - 10/06/05 20:31
i'm not sure what the weekend will bring- let's talk to timika and other peeps and see if we can't have a good ol'fashioned (e:strip) chill session.

(e:sbrugger) When I found this, Iwas like, "ooh, thats funny"; then I thought about it, and painfully realized, "um, no.. thats really not funny. kinda sad..", lol.
sbrugger - 10/05/05 13:13
Let's not get into my troubles with reading the second and third lines of that last one, shall we? Oy vey...it must be true! LOL Been out of the loop too long apparently......
pyrcedgrrl - 10/05/05 01:25
lol.. nice. :)

I am back, feelin' fine.
Category: quickies satisfy
Hello Monday

Taking a study break.. trying to make it quick. We'll see how that goes..

I am feeling quite a bit better, after spending a majority of the weekend asleep. I just felt run down on Friday, then by Saturday I had swollen glands. I kept it low; rented movies, ordered in chinese, and totally vegged.. and drank lots of oj. It is all that I want when I am sick. ((e:metalpeter)), what damage could/would it do to me??!!! Am I going to sprout oranges? Did I give my intestines an acid bath?? ahhhh! Sunday I slept some more. I vaguely recall going outside and twisting some metal ..With my bare hands. Aweee yeah. My neighbor came out and stated that he never wants to make a run in with me when I am mad.. I wish I had pics. I don't claim to be a super hero with super duper powers, but this could be the start of something. I would say that it was delerium, but the evidence is stacked up next to my garage, soon to go out for trash. After that, I was exhausted and slept some more. Sleep is delish.

I think I did well to stay put all weekend. *boring*-- feel out of the loop.

I will be up to some major adventuring come this weekend. Any ideas?

My last post, which I did over the weekend, and I don't remember doing it (was it the effects of mass Orange Juicing?).. referred to the Niagara River and Lake Ontario. ((e:sbrugger)) recalls fond memories of chilling at the piers in Wilson, which totally brought back memories of, well, probably the same piers...ever hang in Olcott? Also lovingly referred to as All Rot, Crotch Rot.. lol. Had to have run into each other somewhere along the way. Lots of fun have been had on the piers from Youngstown to Olcott. I spent a lot of time out on there .. I'll skip the details, but it was always a good place to stay up all night and drink, etc.

Wonder what it would be like now??
  • thinking*
  • brain cells getting fired up*

I so want to do that now! Grab some beer/wine.. a comfy hoody and stay up all night chilling on the pier.. watch the sun rise (take pics),then go to bed.
OoOOoOooh, and/or I could put up a tent, and have a little bonfire on the beach. Lake Ontario is in the backyard of my mothers house, I doubt she'd mind. Fall camping is the best, anyways..
hmm..


study breaks are good :)


theecarey - 10/06/05 20:42
(e:sbrugger), this pier is off the Niagara River, but it does look like the one down lake street. It has a really cool staircase that leads to it. I tried to post a pic, but it was too big.
I think it would be fun to go chill on one of the piers. My general musings tend to lead into something I actually want to do..

so if you are up for it, before it gets too damn cold..
metalpeter - 10/04/05 18:32
I have heard that drinking OJ for a cold is great, but that you don't want to drink to much of it because of the critic acid. I don't know if it would cause heart burn, acid reflux or hurt your throat, not really sure.
sbrugger - 10/04/05 09:03
I thought the sunken piece of concrete in your pictures looked familiar! :) That's the "little pier" as we so affectionately called it..down at the end of Lake St., right? (As opposed to the "big pier", which of course is the one that runs along the harbor) And was that an invite to go down to the pier and get blasted (something I haven't done in years!) or more a general musing? lol
As far as meeting someone on the southern shore of Lake Ontario in a "previous life"...it's a possibility...I did live in Wilson and frequent the lake (I spent the first 12 years of my life about 100 ft from the lake...down in the little hamlet of Roosevelt Beach, near the state park and then moved into the village for the following six years). Who knows?

smells good
Category: nature
I love October. The fall weather is here, along with the fresh crisp earthy smells. I am energized and feel anticipation with the onset of autumn.
I picked my pumkins. Last year I let a pumkin rot, well, I was too lazy to chuck it into the compost pile at the end of the season.
At the beginning of spring, I saw some funky little leaves pop through the dirt. While I hadn't seen them before, the leaves did not look like weeds, either. As with most things, I waited to see what would develop.
Very quickly the plant grew quite large. I took a measurement mid-summer and figured it was approximately 30 feet wide and fifteen feet deep. I had a jungle of a pumpkin patch growing in my front yard, through other plants and even up and out of the lilac bush; all due to one pumpkin rotting.

I have six all together. They are pretty good size.

I love being out doors. I walk and hike around a lot. I live in a gorgeous area. I love my green space. It does something good for me, mentally. Come winter I will ski, maybe snowboard.. definitely cross country ski. I am going to look for a pair of skiis of my very own soon. I can ski alongside the Niagara River and Lake Ontario. Amazing things to be seen all year long..
I have many sun set pictures. I do not have any sunrises, though, as havent been up to watch one from the lake/river.

I am quite familiar with the piers.. from Wilson to Olcott. The lake pics are taken from the backyard of my mothers house, in wilson. wonder if we have ever crossed paths..
sbrugger - 10/03/05 10:34
Great pics! I love the lake (yes, Lake Ontario), having grown up in that neck of the woods (in Wilson). We spent way too many nights sitting out on the end of the pier, talking/swimming/doing "stuff" (lol)....cursing it all the time. Now I miss it all the time.....funny how that sort of thing happens.
metalpeter - 10/02/05 09:48
Nice sunset pics. I have seen some great sunrises going into work but have never had my camara with me. I'm sure sometimes you have some late nights. Maybe on one of those stay up till the sun comes up and take a few shots then go to bed, just an idea.
