stick your beef between two buns....
Category: randomo
yesterday i spent about a half an hour filling out an online resume / questionairre for cingular. they called this morning and wanted me to come in for an interview.

umm... sorry i don't live there yet...

but the fella said to call him when i made it to buffalo and he would set me up with an interview.

SCORE!

anyway, i managed to deposit approximately 16 envelopes filled with resumes and sparkly clean delicious cover letters with addresses of many different sprint/nextel/cingular/cricket/etc addresses on them. I sent none to verizon as i have beef with the verizon store here in the mall.

did i really just say that i have 'beef' ?

anyway, in hopes of attracting all kinds of star wars lovers that may open up said envelopes, i was sure to affix a lovely star wars stamp on each of the envelopes. I saved Darth Vader for the Sprint store.

its going to be tough juggling all the interviews i'm going to have, and even tougher deciding which company deserves me the most...
  • sigh*

I just invited my boss and his wife to my going away party, and lured him in with the seduction of 'drunken slip and slide' he was panting with excitement.... at least that is what he said.

tonight i;m going to kick back with a 6 pack of blue moon and enjoy me friday night... just wish i could get out of here now.

hehe i can imagine that there is definetely potential for ambulance activity...
drunken dizzy dizzy dinosaur? that made me a little sick in my stomach just thinking of it... you crazy crazy fellow
james - 06/23/07 00:12
I still have scars from the last game of drunken slip and slide I played.

use plastic people, for the love of god!

I don't even want to mention the horrors of drunken Dizzy, Dizzy Dinosaur.... even the gates of hades are not adorned so.
mk - 06/22/07 19:21
hahaha sometimes it's good to put up risque titles, even if it is unintentional. gets more people's attention!!!
fellyconnelly - 06/22/07 14:00
true story!


ummm and i just realized how terribly dirty my title sounded... totally not intentional...

Where there is Blue Moon there is joy. Even more joy (exponential!) if theres orange slices nearby.

anyway, i feel the need to inform you that one of my cats just jumped onto my shelf and stuck his head into a box of tampons and ran off with two of them. just what i need.

back to work!
leetee - 06/23/07 10:04
congrats on the new place. and welcome. i hope the move goes smoothly. :O)
fellyconnelly - 06/22/07 12:56
southernyankee: did you live in that tall building?

everyone: thanks

james: delaware avenue was just too damn colorful. besides, we wouldn't know what to do with all that balcony/kitchen space... it is just too much for the two of us. it would have been a waste, really....
drew - 06/21/07 22:43
Welcome. My wife and I are new, too.
james - 06/21/07 22:33
What? Was the one on Delaware not arty enough for you?
Sheesh.

Welcome to the neighborhood.
jim - 06/21/07 20:37
Welcome to Buffalo!
southernyankee - 06/21/07 20:11
I used to live across the street before I moved to DC! It's an interesting part of Elmwood. Lot's of character one might say...
Enjoy the strip!

OFFICIAL NOTICE!
We just got back from Buffalo
(pics later)

We went first to esquared's sheldon apartments wherein they started showing us this first apartment....

"the guys who lived here before were artsy"

and when i mentioned (e:jim) and (e:james) she promptly said that it was their apartment!

we saw your plaaaaacceee...

lauren loves your color preference, but we have no idea how you could have lived with that kitchen...

and i have to ask... they were really going to raise your rent due to the 'balcony'?

anyway - we went over to the other place and fell in love. we took it.
we are official (e:strip)peerrss!!! 367 elmwood baby!

more soon...
leetee - 06/20/07 20:25
Congrats on finding a place. Well done! I hope the move is a smooth one...
fellyconnelly - 06/20/07 19:58
apartment is cozy but we don't really need huge amounts of space...
James: they were asking $750 for that apartment.... i don't know how you managed to peel OR roast a carrot in that kitchen!
and yeah... maybe they meant 'gay' when they said 'artsy'... or maybe she said 'colorful' that is kinda gay right?

thanks for all the well wishing... i think we homos and our homo cats will fit in just nicely....
ladycroft - 06/20/07 16:52
welcome to the hood :)
metalpeter - 06/20/07 16:50
First of all congratulations on getting a place that you both like. I'm not sure of the numbers on elmwood I can never remember them but I don't think you two are to far away from me, maybe I'll see ya around the hood.
libertad - 06/20/07 16:37
Do you think that she equates artsy with gayness? Maybe it was her way of saying yeah two homos lived here before, you will fit right in. Artsy Friendly housing.
james - 06/20/07 10:22
artsy? More like farsy.

They were going to raise our rent $40. After we moved out they were renting that place for $135 more than we were paying.

And that kitchen.... the stove it too small to roast anything bigger than a carrot, not enough counter space to peel said carrot. I turned the dining room into our kitchen and had to... oh, I am going on.

Congrats. I hope you like the place. That is a cool part of town to be in.
jason - 06/20/07 09:40
Congrats Felly. See, things have a way of working out one way or another.
chico - 06/20/07 09:25
Great location... right in the middle of everything, close to Allentown and walking distance to downtown in good weather. Well done! What's the apartment like? When do you move in?

Best of luck in the new digs!
joshua - 06/20/07 08:47
Sweet - you are my neighbor although you live a few blocks away. Congrats! =) =) =)

rooaaaddd trip.
Category: randomo
buffalo HERE I COME!

i think we are leaving around 5 am. lauren hates me for that. but i'm driving, right?

we have to get up to wilson and drop off a bunch of my stuff at my brothers house, visit, and make it over to my other brothers house in ransomville before heading back into buffalo for a 2 oclock double appointment at sheldon apartments and elmwood village apartments.

then i have to run around putting in applications all over b-lo

tuesday morning at 9 we are to call and confirm a noon showing of another apartment.

we also have to call about a 2 bedroom on ashland.

and do some more job hunting

and lauren has to go visit the college at some point.

BUSY BUSY BUSY

and I still do not know where i'm going to end up staying. the problem is now that my family is guilting me into staying with them. oh sweet jesus if they were to find out that i came to western ny and did not stay with them then they would be convinced that the world is ending... so lauren and i are just going and saying the hell with it - we will get to where we are getting and do what we have to do....

okay i need to get some food and look for more apartments online
mk - 06/18/07 12:24
Good luck with everything!!!!
james - 06/17/07 19:07
That throughway stretch from Syracuse to Buffalo is brutal during sunset.

oh wait... 5AM? never mind.

pop goes the brain cells
Category: randomo
so i'm recounting the deposits for the last week so that i can make a bank deposit....

and as i'm counting i'm noticing something strange...

i keep losing count between 14 and 15.

i say 14 in my head and then 15 and then i'm like... wait... was that right?

i did this about ten times just now and it makes me wonder if there is some reason i have forgotten that after 13 comes 14 then 15 and so on... perhaps its true...

this job has eaten my brain.

or maybe its just the zombies...

okay at any rate its time to go home, thank god.
fellyconnelly - 06/17/07 11:33
ACK! i do beleive you are right! that must have been why that guy was all waving his pocketwatch at me and telling me i was tired...
ladycroft - 06/16/07 22:40
i bet you were hypnotized to forget 14 follows 13. yah, it happens! look out for those random street hypnotizers!
mrmike - 06/16/07 22:29
I feel like that with increasing regularity at my job
