Home Repair on Sunday
Category: housing
I made fish and clam soup for enegy. I am obsessed with clam based soups but (e:terry) hates how they smell.
image

We fixed the gutters. Well, we excised the bad part and started to replace it. The part that was rusted was so full of crap.

This hat made me feel like a raver again.
image

Repointing is time consuming and hard but it was nice to seal the bees outs of our walls.

It is especially hard to mix the color into the concrete.

The section of the gutter pipe looks like the dearticulated spinal cord of some strange metallic neanderthal monster.

What is emo?
Category: people
Wow, I was so curious what emo after youtube insisted that I am interested in it based on watching this cartoon about a man with no skin, that was a link from (e:lilho)'s David the Gnome video.



So it looks like emo is the new gay? Buyt I totally thought some poeple I know who are defiantely not gay, were into emo - and now I am totally confused.

So I decided to search a bit and this is what I got from youtube.

"emo stands for emotional and refers to the clique of kids that are emotional and often wear eyeliner and black clothes."

"Someone who is whiny, sensitive, can't play the guitar, buys their clothing from thrift stores, and spends the vast majority of their life on Myspace. If you want a more politically correct definition, look it up on wikipedia."

"emo mean's "Emotion" for people who have emotion's and like the dark spirit.they also often cut themselve's for pain-relif.otherwise...i have no clue."

and then my favorite comment on this one

"@ first i wuz descusted whn i saw guys kissin each othr but thn i saw someone cal dem faggots.... dnt cal peeps faggots its nt very nice! the word is gay wht if someone called u a faggot? anyway sum animals sumtimes mate wit th same sex humans just happen 2 b one of thm!"


So what is it? I realize it meant emo music (WIKIPEDIA - Emo music)
but now does it mean gay?
metalpeter - 07/24/07 20:05
I will admit I'm not really into emo music or if I was I couldn't tell you cause I don't know what it is. EMO as you said is short for emotional. The next thing next is that you also have emo kids who dress emo what ever that is. The next part just becuase there are gays who are emo doesn't mean everyone who is emo is gay. It would be interesting to get the opinion of someone who listens to "emo" and knows more about it. I don't want to name any names on here but I think there are a few (e:peeps) who know a lot about music who could really explain it a lot better then I can.
jenks - 07/24/07 10:06
Well if that song is emo, then I think emo-
1: sucks
and
2: means terrible haircuts on boys, with long pieces in front of the ears, and everything brushed forward from the back.
mrdeadlier - 07/24/07 09:02
In respect to music at least, "emo" is one of those words that has turned out to mean absolutely nothing, kind of like "alternative" did in the 90s.
zobar - 07/23/07 23:00
I never thought emo meant gay; I always kind of thought it meant 'insisting that it's badass to be a total pussy.' The Uncyclopedia :::link::: doesn't say anything about being gay, and the Uncyclopedia is always right.

The First Half Of The Weekend
Category: buffalo
On friday night (e:tinypliny) stopped by and we made indian food. It was quite delicious.

First we made the indian spice power. It was some powerful and pleasantly tasty stuff.
image

image

I didn't realize this pic of (e:tinypliny) in the kitchen came out so crappy. I guess we will need to take a better one next time.
image

Wow Chippewa is covered in gum stains. I never really noticed before. I guess people really just spit there gum out waitin gin line to go to Level and McMonkies.
image
image

I am so fascinated with this house on franklin. What happend to it? I mean what did it used to be. I wrote about it before but no one seems to have said anythign about its past. Like what are the chess tables from.

image

image
image
image

image

My other favorite house on Summer. They have faux slate asphalt roof.

image

image

I feel bad for the owner of this porch on Summer. It looks like it needs some serious help.

image

(e:matthew) and (e:terry) tried to fit through this alley on Franklin. It hate things you can't turn around in.

image

Neo is closing on Franklin. What the heck is gonna go there. I hope it becomes something and doesn't end up empty or yet another crappy antique shop. It would be terrible for Cafe 59 but if a Spot Coffee moved in there I think they would make a killing. Check out that car outside.
image

This is how (e:matthew) generally looks on the weekend.
image

I wanted to go to the beach today but they were closed for contamination, blah. It makes me sad that the beaches are always closed when I want to go. Then again it is better they are closed than if I got sick.

I was content with going to Zoar Valley but that was nixed too. We ended up going to Salsaritas. Ya exactly, it might as well have been lunch on monday. I really wanted to do something exercise filled and away from the city.

I hate weekends. If you think is hard to make up your mind what to do when you are single, or even in a two person relationship - just imagine how difficult it is with three people that all like completely different things. We usually just end up really mad at each other, go nowhere and don't have sex because we are angry about not deciding what to do.

Instead I thinking I am going to go to Home Depot and buy supplies so that I have something to do. I am thinking that filling the mortar gaps in the back might be fun!

metalpeter - 07/22/07 11:16
Well untill you said you where lying about the not having sex thing. I was going to say that maybe a solution would be to go someplace to have sex. See because if the sex was the goal then where you went wouldn't really matter to much. But since you lied about that (your words not mine) then that might not be a problem but my idea still might be an ok one. I'm sure there must be some diplomatic way of deciding where to go. On another note I like that one house on Summer. When ever I see it I think it looks like it is out of a Movie about Knights or at least would be a cool place to have a sword fight on the lawn and porch.
joshua - 07/21/07 19:45
That alleyway - whyyyyyyy?

As far as the house goes - have you thought about going to the Historical Society or somewhere to see if there are any records?

What a shame about that property - with a lot of work (and alot of money, lets be honest) I think you could make an amazing living space out of it.
paul - 07/21/07 17:16
Okay, I lied about the sex part.

A short work day
Category: buffalo
I left work early today because I stayed so late the other days this week. I have been stressing about my job - and not bad way. I just can't stop thinking about certain projects - which is making everyone around me insane I think.

image

I went to Panaro's on Delaware for lunch with (e:enknot) and (e:terry). It was delicious, I don't know how I never saw it before. Plus the blond waitress we had was awesome. I would recommend that place anyday - the prices were very reasonable. I think it may be one of my new favorite places. I wish I took pictures but I forgot that I had my camera back. It is weird to have it back after it been broken and then gone for so long.

We cleanup up the yard at the rental property today. I can't believe how tall the weeds got in such a short amount of time.

There were so many daisies and other weeds.
image

The prickery weeds had wood like roots.
image
image
image

I found this weird witches broom in the backyard of the property. I wonder if my tenants made it?
image
image

It looked nice when we were done.
image

It looks like Medina Deli over on North and Main is almost ready. I am so excited to see something be on that corner. It has come such a long was see we did public transphere a couple years back. At that time it looked like the bombed out shell of a building.

image

Now the question is what will happen with the yellow mansion at 23 North. It is the last thing waiting to be redone. There has been a big sign out front that said apartments were coming soon since last season but it has remained boarded up and they haven't done any work over the entire summer which is not a good sign. I remember when (e:matthew) wanted to buy it and we took a tour with the realtor (e:paul,32592) . Man that place was disgusting.

Ridiculous Rant You Can Just Ignore
Okay, this is ridiculous - I am really not poor - but I am sad I am not going to Hutches tonight because I am "too poor". I wanted to go to Hutches with (e:imk2) and her boyfriend and (e:terry) said we are too poor because he spent all our money on pharmacy school. I know, I know - money that will turn into more money - but not right now while I want to go to Hutches. It is like the one restaurant I have never been to and everyone raves about it. After writing that I feel like someone should kill me but - damn it - I really wanted to go to Hutches. Okay, enough of that drama.
leetee - 07/21/07 09:36
Funny how geographicly small Buffalo is and yet i feel like that area, by North and Main, is my old neighbourhood. Almost as though it is so far away now. And i can't even remember what was on any corners! Must be age...
mrdeadlier - 07/20/07 22:48
Your tenants (or whomever made it) are probably Potter fans gearing up for the book release tonight...
