I have more to talk about but I thought I would remark upon how great the weather is. I figure you can best tell by the crispness of my shadow.

Another Media Dump From DowntownCategory: downtown
Last night, (e:lilho) and I took the subway to and walked home from the downtown Buffalo Athletic Club. Now that is dedication to being healthy (and to eye candy - which there was none of) It was so freakin' freezing I cannot even describe the feeling of really cold wind blowing down main street on a dark winter's night.
On the way home we had brought no money and had to walk. We couldn't even stop anywhere because we didn't even brings cards. It was strange to feel like I had nothing even if it was just during a 20 minute walk home to the mansion. I do not like the feeling of not having access to food money at all.
We jealously peaked in the window at spot and starred at all the mactoppers with yummy treats.
Today I made up for it by going with my work buddies and (e:megan) over to Chris' Deli at 395 Delaware Avenue. They were packed to the point we waited but it was totally worth it. I have never seen such tasty sandwiches.
I got the jerk turkey.
Everyone else had yummy stuff too.
When we got back jon had a blue screen of death on windows XP. It was so sad. I hate windows. In fact, I hate it so much that today I installed cygwin so I can have a bash shell on my windows box at work. No more stupid "dir" I was so sick of typing "ls" and having the computer say no.
Does anyone else have a secret love of kicking the crusty june snow? It is that part snow, part asphalt and cement chip stuff that never goes away until way late after winter is over. It is basically dirty snow that is combined with so many particles that it acts as a sort of adhesive between them. It is hard as rocks and when it breaks it cracks like glass sometimes. It is really fun to kick it.
This pole didn't like winter very much. Imagine if your skin peeled that much from weather exposure.

Emptying the Camera OutCategory: nikon
Roswell uses way to much freakin' salt. I guess everyone does, and everyone is afraid of being responsible about someone falling but what about the responsibility to the environment.
We had another fun experience with the bubble maker in the house. I cannot wait to get myself a computer with video editing capabilities.
Thanks, (e:ladycroft) - I got my birthday gift from you via Carrey.
(e:hodown,332) - the post about her ex with the everything box made me think about one of my everything rooms - which contained this picture of me in 1999 when I was still cute. It is amazing how many everything rooms you can fill when you have them.
I also found a good pic of (e:terry)
And I found this picture of (e:jacob) from the late 90s early 2000s kissing someone else we know.
Today was the last day of (e:lilho) having her car. It was fun while it lasted.
I see these bumper stickers everywhere. What is up with the peace bridge. I think we should start a new campaign to just knock it down, lol.

I'm putting our bed on craigslistCategory: housing
(e:matthew) was looking at houses online and saw this one on Summer. A bit out of our price range at $699,900. I find it ridiculous that the taxes are supposedly assessed at $5,544.00. That means that they are asking way more than they bought it for. As an example, our taxes on our $200,000 house are the same. The taxes on a $700k house are more like $17K.
I wonder what happend with them. Maybe they just were flipping it but it turns out their bed is also for sale on craigs list for $7000. (e:matthew) found it during his furniture sleuthing

Great looking bed. But with a bed that fancy you can only sleep in it with fancy clothes on. I walk by that place often. I know a few years ago there was some kind of buiness or vision or speach center in there.

Those people cannot be for real. I bet the guy who owns it wears a stovepipe hat and walks with a cane and is always trying to screw George Bailey out of his life savings.

Two Unmarried MenCategory: housing
We got the search from the house in the mail today. I find it funny that they emphasize how unmarried we are.

The thing that I don't understand is that a Mariage is a legal contract why can't it be between two men or two women. I understand that there are so many people aganst it moraly. But legaly (not that it would ever happen) What if someone who is stright wants to marry there best friend so they can both get the legal benifits. The other thing that I don't understand (i know this dosn't help the cause at all) but why is Polyligamey illegal. I can understand why Priests wouldn't want to do it. But it is a legal contract that I think as long as everyone is in the same state should be legal. I do understand that if you marry to many people legally it could get verry complicated but that isn't a reason to stop it.

Personally, i think it's bloody crazy why you can't be married to Terry... or Matthew... or both of them. Unless you're just waiting for them to propose with a giant diamond ring!?!

The reason your deed and other legal papers specify this is because the laws covering a married couple who own a house together are different from those covering anyone else.
Often spouses have legal protections that an unmarried couple do not have.
For example, in the state of Tennesse, when (e:leetee) automatically became co-owner of the house I owned because spouses are automatically considered to have a 50 50 stake in the primary residence.
Even when my mom bought a house in Tennessee from a builder, the legal papers referred to him as a "married male" who was selling a house that was not his "primary residence."
