They have finally released the new macbook pro


As someone said on the macrumors forum, "Great specs, same price, im loving it! " This means that once I get it my life can return to normal and I can become an even more productive programer/designer. I can finally go back to 3D design which will in turn let me make lots of fun icons for my projects. I will also be able to check windows and mac/linux all on the same machine. It's like a web designers dream come true.



I am so curious what the LED backlit display will be like. The only thing I am kind of disappointed that the system looks the same as the old one. I was hoping for some reason it would be shiny brown. To bad it couldn't come with a new operating system. Guess I'll have to wait until October for that.

Before the party

This bird was so dead.


What the heck are all these iDVR stickers and signs everywhere. I like the idea of giving out temporary tattoos but was it seems like they all just end up on the floor group, I found hundreds of them downtown.





(e:enknot) at the (e:lilho) hair studio


where (e:imk2) got extensions that looked so real




I know this is so not right, but I am totally sick of these peaceprint birds everywhere. It just sees like such a stupid slogan and I always think it is a euphemism for poop.



If the (e:ladycroft) going away party wasn't tonight I would have gone to this.


The party was pretty nuts. We ended up having 65 people according to (e:lilho) 's countdown. I would post the list but she made up funny, inappropriate names for some people.

Some highlights
Holy crap - (e:metalpeter) looks so different without a beard.

Hallways are much more visible from outside at night.

Here are some pics although I didn't get many, I do have an hour long video that I can probably never post.

Put the banner up




Chris Haight got "cake" in (e:mike)'s face somehow.


Thanks (e:carolinian) for all the mojito stuff. I have never seen so many limes in one place.


Giving robert and company a tour of the house, we could only see the unfinished side of the attic by camera flash. They had plenty of theories about the cage.




The end of the night video - such a waste of alcohol

This tasty personal pizza from Brodo was really yummy. Had lunch with megan and (e:enknot) - they are way famous. About 40 people stopped by and said hello. Seriously, they are like one step away from Paparazzi.



After work, I headed over to Thursday In The Square with (e:matthew) and (e:terry) For a free event it is really awesome no matter who the band is. I love Thursday In The Square, especially, since I can walk there and back in about 10 minutes.

The jesus people keep recruiting younger and younger dudes. Not to mention cuter and cuter ones, no nasty ladies in bonnets this year. Remember Hottie McJesus (e:paul,32654)






What the fuck (how unprofessional: what is wrong with you paul?) is the buffalo flag. I saw one flying at Thursday In The Square. Since when do cities have flags and why is it so freakin' ugly. Holy crap, they cost $50.00 what is it raising money for. I bet with a nicer design they could sell more. Both (e:matthew) and I didn't like it. Sorry if you designed it.

At Thursday In The Square there was a guy that looked so much like (e:matthew) His friends also tried to get a pic of them both.




(e:mike) and (e:amanda) came out, she has a great video of her that I think she is going to try and post soon.




(e:terry) making funny faces


Walking back the subway was packed so we walked. There was some sort of fight that resulted in an ambulance.


I really upped the quality on the compression for this one which unfortunately made it 13MB.

The Flynn and Friends logo looks nice in the dusk. I really want a bright orange estrip neon tube sign. I wonder how much energy they use.


As May closes, I have to ask myself what has changed about my life that in 2005 I wrote 97 journals in May and in 2006 I wrote 54 journals in May but this year I only managed to get 26 written. My life must be so much more boring now. I am going to go back to 97 next year ;) The truth is I think my entries are much longer now. I save up more media because of the higher res camera and then post the all at once, instead of like before when I posted everything right from the phone. I hope the iPhone can change that.

hey Paul if you really want to get some interest cut down on the cursing; specifically "fuck-off, fuck you etc". Not very professional. I'm sure you'll ban me after this dose of constructive criticism due to anger issues. Cheers.

Maybe you haven't noticed but this isn't any sort of professional environment. There is no company, no share holders, no sales image. Just people chatting about their lives. I definitely don't want more interest from people that require a professional environment or censored conversation.

Who are you? Are you even the same person or do you share a computer.

Does anyone remember jelly bracelets. I know that (e:hodown) does. But what you might not know is that they came out of Buffalo. Here is the thing. I don't know they were made here but I do know they were nationally distributed from my very favorite former zipcode. 14222.



I was going through the box of muppet magazine from my childhood and found this advertisement. It made me want to go pin my pants. I just might do it for tomorrow if I can find some pins.







Our air plant committed suicide. I think it is actually still fine but just wanted attention.


(e:enknot) ordered the squid rings at Kuni's To Go today.


Saw the rubble on high street this morning.




This tree in (e:holly) 's sister appartment building parking lot is really eaten up by bugs.




Clams were on sale at tops. Really, really on sale and I like those kind. I waited in line for like 15 minutes because, according to the worker, the guy who was supposed to pre-count for the sale wasn't in. I got 5 dozen. Then I dropped the bag and 20 of them jst pretty much exploded with cla juice and dripped all over me and the store. That must have been fun to clean up. I felt really bad. The guy had given my the clams in a slippery mesh net with no bag. Looking back I think a plastic bag would have been in order.


We went to that Buffalo Clearance and Supply at Great Arrow and it is really freakin' weird. Everything seems to be used. Like the stoves their were selling still had food caked on them? Weird, right - where does the shit come from. The ovens weren't very cheap either.


They had this cool looking mod furniture.


The irises finally opened. We have a purple one and a yellow one.






We ended up getting an oven for the tenants at orvilles. I will really miss the old oven that my grandmother always cooked in.




I really want this leather couch and love seat set. It is only $1099 for both. It seems like such a freakin deal that I won't even tell you where it is. It isn't new, its used but everything I always dreamed about in a furniture set.






They also had this red couch for $399.






This signature tool at the tops checkout seems so primitive.


Went with (e:lilho) to try and sell her car to one of my tenants. She is selling it for $100 and it goes. I mean it has problmes but a car that goes for $100 is a rock bottom deal and the girl buying asked if (e:lilho) had an itemized list of problems. Was she going to try and bargain. I mean an ipod cost more than $100.




This apple looked so lonely all by itself in the parking lot at Northtown Plaza. I wonder how it got there.


At tops they had personal watermelons. Is that really necessary.


Finally, as promised, the pink sidewalks in Kenmore.


I love this graffitti at the west side stores.





I have ripped hundreds of yards of wire out of our house and off our house. Used to be offices in it I think. There was one wire coming from the church that was an inch thick.
