On the way there we saw serenity shack. Ironically, it is right next to the war store.


Then we arrived at canal fest. I wish I had something good to say about canalfest.


The canal is so full of shit.


The zebra muscles love it, look how they cling to the shopping cart.


I missed the republican clams, lol.


I drank the lemonade and so did (e:mike) Afterwards I looked at the lemon in my drink, it was sick.






The ferris wheel looked cool at night.


Don't they look canaltastic.


(e:mike) wants to be the spokesperson for cookinggreasepickup.com

I made fish and clam soup for enegy. I am obsessed with clam based soups but (e:terry) hates how they smell.


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.


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.

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?

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.




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.


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.



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.









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





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



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



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.


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


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!

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.



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.


The prickery weeds had wood like roots.




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



It looked nice when we were done.


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.



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.
