shilling for the paperCategory: work
Good News:
Tomorrow you should run not walk to your local bus stop or coffee shop and pick up a copy of the paper. Our yearly restaurant guide hits the stands tomorrow and it contains 120 restaurants in and around the city. You should also visit it online regularly and perhaps even download it to your iPod. It has been an exhausting week, and it is time to sit back and burn one.
Neutral News:
Went to the Century Grill last night and saw they still had a stack of the final issue of Buffalo Current. 'Schade,' as the Germans would say.
Bad News:
Our annual popularity contest [hitting stands next week] has destroyed my faith in humanity. By my own count, my website got thoroughly trounced in the Best Local Website category not only by by the 800-pound-gorilla of the local Internet [which I have to say I expected because they've totally got us beat*] but also - and this is what burns me - by the most idiotic, vapid, and poorly-designed website in the entire state. You would think that, backed by all the resources of Warren Buffett and the Buffalo News, they would be able to put together a relevant, informative, and aesthetically-pleasing website - but it's not even as good as the real Buffalo News website , which isn't exactly winning any awards either.
What is wrong with people? When you ask them what their favorite Buffalo website is, do they just go and type 'Buffalo' in the little box at the top and see what happens? WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE.

i brought a sombreroCategory: cars
...now we can both be cool.
I guess I just don't know what's cool anymore. This morning I had a discussion with (e:dragonlady7) wherein i posited that the coolest car in the universe would be a new diesel VW Rabbit converted to use waste vegetable oil.
She did not agree.
I said ok, the coolest car in the universe would be an old diesel VW Rabbit converted to use waste vegetable oil.
She just sighed.
Anyway-- Century Grill tonight, if anyone else is interested in stopping by and being cool. (MAP TO: 320%20PEARL%20ST)

maybe even cooler would be an OLD (NOT new) convertible beetle (my dream car as a child) that ran on waste oil.
Speaking of cars- how much do I love that my chief unabashedly drives a station wagon. Love it. I might even tell him. Fuck minivans, station wagons rock.

aids is suckyCategory: out
so (e:dragonlady7) and I are going to hang out at the Century Grill (MAP TO: 320%20PEARL%20ST) TOMORROW and drink beer and eat wings. [It's part of Dining Out for Life - 50% of your bill will go to AIDS Community Services of WNY and AIDS Family Services].
I don't know when we're going or how long we're staying, but if anyone else wants to join us, slap me a post-it or just stop in.

Geezer drinks are the new hipster drinks. Had a brandy alexander at Shadow Lounge last night that rocked my socks off. Here's another goodie you'd be able to make if only you hadn't poured out that Christian Brothers your great-uncle gave you for Christmas eight years ago.
Sidecar
1.5oz brandy
0.5oz cointreau
some sour mix and a lemon wedge
Serve neat and cold in a chilled stem glass. V. tasty, v. dangerous.

Hmm, this comment from last night somehow ended up on the wrong post. So I'm transplanting it:
"twisted I love you. I was just going to comment about how I like manhattans. But you beat me to it. ;) How 'bout old-fashioneds?"

The cocktail revolution is afoot. Cosmoes and Long Island iced teas are the province of vapid bimboes. Show some class: drink Singapore slings, gimlets, gin rickeys, and old-fashioneds.
I found out the hard way that (e:dragonlady7) 's dad makes Manhattans inside-out: all vermouth, splash of whiskey. You can NOT spring that on somebody like that.

Whoa! That's major league retro. Like, visiting my grandparents in their fifth floor walk-up in the Bronx vintage. I don't think I've ever tried a Brandy Alexander or Sidecar myself, but I did develop a taste for Manhattans early on. Possibly because if I played my cards right, I would get the maraschino cherry. And it was damn good.
