Holiday Weekend
Category: events
I don't know what I'm doing for the holiday yet other then I don't have to work. On friday Night I'm going to see Chevelle and Finger eleven at the Town Ballroom. That should be a lot of fun and a pretty good time. My cousin is suppposed to be playing at The Icon later that night but I don't see it listed on the Icon's website so I must dig a little deeper and see if I can find it. Then on Sunday Night Is Godsmack at Shea's that will be my first time seeing them that I know of I'm looking forward to that as well. Hopefully I will also at least get in one movie. Currently thinking about Shrek the 3rd. The other two where so good. I like how they have adult humor in there and kinda bash fairy tales. But we shall see what happens. I was also thinking that maybe if it is a nice day on saturday going up to the falls and seeing if the maid of the mist is going. I havn't been on that in a long time. I think it might make for some interesting pictures also. If I take any of the falls I will post them. But between two concerts I may just want a day to chill or maybe just relax and just watch movies.

24(simpsons) Heroes Finals
Category: tv
So Today is a boaring post about TV but oh well the two shows that are on tongight are both pretty good. Tonight on fox is the 2 hour final of this seasons 24. It is looking like it should be pretty good. I just hope they tie up all the lose ends and that they have some great action. On a side note the simpsons had what I thought was a good parody of 24 on last night. I'm not sure if it is really a parody if you have two of the actors from the show playing them selves but I thought it was a good and funny tribute. Then at 9 pm on NBC is the final of Heroes. That should be pretty good as well. I will burn that and hopefully get to watch it this week.

Weekend Photos

First of all it is to bad that the sabres lost and won't be in the finals but they really only have themselves to blame.I think they where good enough but didn't play that way. I think they may have been jinxed by people saying publicly that the cup was theres and by others making there own version of the cup.

No to the real point of this journal pictures of course.
Here are some pictures from around "my hood"

The ones On the highway where on the way to my cousin's graduation dinner at Tony Rome's. It is a pretty cool place to eat. I thought the food was very good. Plus they have frank Sinatra stuff all over the place and you can hear him sing depending on how loud it is in there. Here are a few pictures.

If you don't like cats then this is a good place to stop. Even though it is my sis's kitten or maybe it is a cat now it has kinda become the family pet.

Two of those pictures are from the Hospice Walk today. I was hoping to have more of the kitten and downtown buffalo or the waterfront by my Camera Batteries died as I was down there with my family.

Kitten!!! Cute!
metalpeter - 05/21/07 17:32
For some time he didn't really have a name. His name became Baby by default. Sometimes we call him bax or baxter or Baby Bax but It is really Baby. If he gets any bigger that may change. We arn't sure how old he actully is since he was rescued during or right after the october storm and he was tiny then. I'm not sure exactly how my sis did it but she wraped him up in a sweetshirt kinda like how you might with a baby in blankets. I think he was warmer then we where. He did get a lot of attention from people there. I'm not sure how he felt about it, it at least didn't bother him. The one thing that worried me but it wasn't a problem is he sometimes dosn't like to be petted and will let you know quickly not to touch him.
imk2 - 05/21/07 07:36
your sister put the cat in the bookbag and carried him around? that is so cute!
theecarey - 05/20/07 18:33
Cute one of your sis and the cat- I forget his name. He looks looks like quite the character. gosh, he's gotten so big! I dont think my cats would do a charity walk, even if its for a good cause. Stuff them in a bag? they'd artfully plan out revenge.

Heroes Marathon Saturday
Category: tv
First of all I admit I like my TV. Well not really the TV but lots of different stories. There are all sorts of different marathons that stations will put on sometime. I should have posted this yesterday but I forgot. Heroes is on sci-fi starting at 9am on Saturday and they are showing all 21 episodes. So if anyone has missed any or needs to get caught up it is a good time to do so. I can't imagine sitting down for that long and watching all of that. Off course if you trust it you could DVR or TIVO it and then fast forward out the adds. But I thought you all might like to know about it. I'm currently caught up on the show. for more info you can check out Sci-fi''s website.

Hopefully on Saturday I will make it to the 24 to see if there is anything I need or could use at the Garage Sale. The only thing is anything that I could use is heavy so then I would have to haul it somehow so I doubt there is anything I would want but still going to try and swing by. A cousin of mine is graduating and there will most likely be some post graduation get to gather but no idea when or what.

I noticed that I had over 200,000 views that seems like a lot to me but I have no idea where that compares to others on here. A few other stats as of my current writing of this. There have been 473 comments on my journals. I've posted 1,705 comments on journals. I have 833 journals. 2,439 images on my journals. 245,089 words I've written and I have not uploaded any videos.

Today I messed around with my camera and tired out the video. I should have shot something out side as a test first to see how things come out. But I shot two of my sis's cat they are both really bad. They are dark and I sound like an idiot talking to it and there are shadows. That being said I'm going to try to upload one and see if it works. It is in quicktime and I'm not sure if that will agree with (e:strip) or not but I will try it as a test. If it works then I may have to get more practice and shot other videos and see how they do here. I do have one other idea if it works but we will hold off on that. I know there are two settings maybe if i used the higher res one it would be better but here goes nothing.

Ok I went to try to upload them and they didn't show up that must mean that quicktime format doesn't work with (e:strip) I guess I have to figure out how to convert one if I want to post one, oh well. Have a great weekend and don't forget the sabres on Saturday unless you are watching heroes also at 2pm.

Pictures I should have posted
Category: photos
First of all to any of you mothers out there Happy Mothers day. I also extend this to any of you who are mothers to pets also. Granted they most of the time aren't as much work as kids but that isn't all ways true.

Now on to some pictures. In a previous Journal I mentioned that When I was walking down Bryant I noticed a place that used to be boarded up with out the boards so here are two pictures of that and some flower pictures from that same street.

Down at Buff State they are building a new building, I can't remember what it is exactly but I think it has something to do with a gallery or rockwell hall. I do remember that people where upset because the builders never spoke with the community to get there input. But here a few few pictures of that.

Here are some flower pictures that I have taken as I have walked around my neck of the woods. I will openly admit that Matt takes much better flower pictures then I do. I was just trying to see what I could get and as an overview picture I think they are ok. Some of these pictures are of other things also.

The Kitten there is on Allen as we where getting a mothers day gift at the gallery there. All those hamburgers was on mothers day at Missippi muds. That reminds me has anyone tried Sample yet? I know I have not but I mean to.

The pictures of the action from the bisons game I went to are kinda boaring so I figured maybe put up some of buster and my lunch and that might be kinda fun.
