Yes, It snowed today. I am over it. I have a video when it snowed on April 19th. While it does tend to snow between october and april, it by no means snows everyday. But here it is, the way I saw it this morning.
While at the Washington Market. I saw these enormous pork rinds (WIKIPEDIA - Chicharrones). I have never seen such a freakin disgusting snack which just re-enforces my feelings that Mexican food is disgusting food. I mean I am alergic to Cilantro and Avacados to start out with and I hate beans. I know that everyone will hate me for that, but I really don't like it.
Like if you have seen tony's hands, that should give you an idea. Each individual piece was enough to wrap a football.
Look how disgusting they are.
Yummy

Has anyone tried foxy?Category: drugs
I was reading about club drugs during my day of recuperating and pop culture and found all these references to 5-Methoxy-diisopropyltryptamine it is also called foxy (WIKIPEDIA - 5-MeO-DIPT) - which has been illegal since 2003.
It was listed along side GHB, LSD, ecstacy, and crystal - I never ever heard of it. The article I was reading was about sindergarten, some sort of druggy school bus for elite high school students in NYC. You can read the whole article on radar It sounds insane.
Here is some more info about foxy on erowid and some medical info

The love that never shuts upCategory: vacation
Lesbian Straight guy thing.
While sick today I was reading pop culture articles instead of programing for once and came across this article written by a lesbian about the bond between straight guys and lesbians Call me closed minded but I always kind of thought lesbians hated men. I guess I was wrong. She also mentions the lesbian shift from owning cats to owning dogs in the 90s. I never thought about that either. My favorite part of the article was her way of describing the hetero-female homo-male relationship as, "The love that never shuts up."
San Francisco recap
I still cannot believe (e:jacob) was there and we did not see each other.
(e:matthew) really likes escargot
I really like everything else
This fish was so fucked up. I guess they all flip like this as the grow up. Probably still tastes good with garlic butter.
Scared (e:matthew)
Here is some ice on Lake Erie as seen from the plane.
Here is sheridan park
And strawberry island
Some more pics from the trip.

It'd've been quite a coincidence to run into each other, avec 'What's Up Doc'. Good luck with your sugar gliders.

Paul, maybe if you stopped your incessant programing and read important articles about pop culture you would know what the lesbian newsletters are saying about pet ownership.
Did you know that transsexuals recently went from ferrets to sugar gliders? That explains the smell of burning fur.
Or did you know that straight acting gay men are now really into Hello Kitty?
ya know, you really need to set your priorities straight Paul.

Strep ThroatCategory: health
Well, my fourteen hour plane ride is over. I think I have strep throat now like I have never had before. My throat and lungs are on fire and I have a fever. Like it hurts to breathe and swallow. I hope I feel better in the morning, if not I am going to the doctor it feels so bad. I guess there is a rapid strep throat test now. Maybe there was always one and I just didn't have a doctor before. Argh.
I am so glad about being home in Buffalo. Big City life is really not for me. I think I would die of anxiety if I lived in San Francisco.

Anxiety, air rage, and strep all in a 24 hour period? Sounds like you need an extra day of r-and-r.
Glad to hear that you guys are back in B-lo. Thanks (to (e:matthew) as well of course) for the pix, they were great fun. Loved the food shots.

I Hate Delta AirlinesCategory: airlines
I would never fly Delta again, it is this sub-trash piece of shit airlines. The flights were terrible.
On the second flight, the seats going back function was broken which really sucks on an overnight flight. Although there was a movie we were not able to see the screen due to the way the cabin was configured. They didn't even bother giving us earphone ports for the sound.
But here is the kicker. I was annoyed when we arrived in Atlanta at 5am for our 9:20am flight to buffalo. But what made that totally unacceptable is that there is a 7am flight to Buffalo. Why would they have not put us on that flight when I requested a ticket from San Francisco online. It just doesn't make sense. So I asked the stupid fuck behind the counter if we could switch and he said no.

I'm still in SF. I leave today @ 3pm. I'm leaving from Oakland, heard bad things about the lines, but we're leaving ourselves 2 hrs leeway. Hope that things are better.

Now it is fucking delayed. I am seriously getting air rage. I hope their is no interaction between me and a customer service agent right now or I may end up in Atlanta forever.

That's no fun. It's too bad, but at least your trip looks like it was amazing. I hope my flight back is better. Wish me luck.

BBQ-flavored pork rinds are one of my favorite snacks. (e:dragonlady7) won't even stay in the same room if I'm eating them. At least she doesn't steal them like she steals my Chee-Tos.
Once I went to visit Mr & Mrs (e:dragonlady7) and discovered a bag of pork rinds on top of their fridge. It did not seem like the kind of snack her parents would have, but I had just driven all the way across New York State and I was a bit munchy. As I ate them the dog started looking at me all funny. I thought she was better behaved than that, but whatever. Her dad didn't say anything but when her mom came in she told me '...those are for the dog.' Hmph!

One of my father's favorite snacks in the whole world is pork rinds. I grew up eating them not realizing what I was actually putting in my body. Yech! Only other food more unsettling (figuratively and literally speaking) to me is tripe.
I tend to find mexican food a little disgusting myself. However, there are exceptions. Mole sauce is yummy--a non desert usage of chocolate! How cool is that?!
I fucking hate you for all eternity you bean hating piece of shit.
And yet, I have to love you for showing me what has to be the most disgusting food man's foolish hand has wrought.
I love mexican food. Don't much care for the pork rinds either, though. However, i think i would cry if i couldn't have cilantro and avacados. I think seafood is smelly icky. Good thing we all have different tastes.. or i would have to wait even longer for a table in my favie restaurants!!
NOTE TO SELF: Don't invite (e:paul) out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant.
Those are real deep fried pork skins. I think that they are quite yummy. Unfortunately, my digestive system does not agree. So they don't look disgusting to me.
Alas, paul, I hate to disappoint you but I don't hate you for your food preferences.
If you want me to hate you will have to try a lot harder than that. <eg>
