I have spent most of the caride readin wikipedia. I never have tine to just read it and o to all the links. A six hour carride makes that possible.
I never had any idea what the 'evil eye' was really about. Did anyone else know it was cause by the envy of other people and that it caused drying action.
I also had no idea the little red horn charms my father has was to protect from it or that vaginas can protect from it because of their wetness. Or that fish were immune to it.
Check it out if you hae time.

What a weekend of foodCategory: weekend
There were these tiny ants on the porch. They are so freakin tiny, like little dots. They really like yogurt.
I took a picture after putting my arm down in the torotise cave that Basra dug. It is really poop filled but he seems to like that. Their poop is kind of like horse poop. It is very fibrous and haylike, and actually doesn't really smell much when it is dry but its still gross to make a nest of your own poop.
On Thursday night (e:terry) and I hit Allen Street. Here is my brother (e:mike) striking a pose, lol.
(e:terry) and I then headed over to the new creole place across from Allen Street hardware. It is only open from 6PM-2am but it is freakin; delicious. I love it.
I got an oyster poboy for $8 which was excellent. It was actually better than the clam counterpart one I had on Cape Cod (e:paul,31070)
And (e:Terry) got the muffelletta which was also really excellent.
Friday lunch I ate with (e:enknot), (e:mrdeadlier) and (e:jim) at Kibirashi. I really like their lunch special but it's honestly not as good as Kunis.
I think everyone hates it when we pay with 4 cards but it's the way of life with Direct Deposit.
On Friday evening we went to see VR divas, a show in the Buffalo Infringement Festival. It was at Hall Walls. They used some masks I made for another project to represent the characters. It was weird to see the masks out of context.
Followed by a tasty Chicken lavash wrap at Sahara Grill on Elmwood;
Then on Saturday we went to the garden walk before our party. To bad just about everyone missed the party.
The best garden on North Pearl in my option has this nice Lotus pond. Now (e:Terry) and (e:matthew) are obsessed with getting a pond. We found solar powered pumps online.
Check out this allergy coma inducing pollen ball called a blue globe thistle.
Purple is the new pink? Why did they paint the pink with that ghetto purple paintjob. The mural was much better.
After the garden walk all of our friends came of for the get together that all of our not-so-good friends missed. We ate giant clams. You can't tell how big they are in this picture but they are about the size of an adult man's fist. You can really tell on (e:jim,40289) next to (e:enknot)'s giant hand.
Why does Salmon come on cedar now? It seems like such a waste of wood.
On sunday we went to buy camping supplies for our annual nudist trip in the adirondacks (e:paul,32730) It is really my favorite week of the year mostly - so long as the weather hold up. While at the mall we ate at a place called Johnny Rockets. The prices were pretty reasonable for burgers but you have to consider that oth bacon and fries were extra.

The salmon on cedar is meant to be grilled. You place the plank right in the grill. It actually tastes really good, but I can understand how it is wasteful..

Scientology Scientologists Buffalo, NYCategory: religion
(e:enknot), (e:jim) and I were standing on the corner of Main Street and Virginia next to the Scientologist building in Buffalo New York when some blond leggy scientology chick comes screaming at us - saying that she needs to talk with us about a stress test.
All of a sudden (e:enknot) busts out with "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM YOU YOUR CRAZY PSYCHO, YOU ARE A FREAK, YOU ARE A FREAK!!"
I love it when people get in the face of religious weirdos getting in their face. She started screaming back about how he was crazy or something. I am so sick of the way those Scientology freaks on Main Street in Buffalo, New York rule the sidewalks there. Anytime I have to walk down main street I have to cross the street to avoid being harassed by them in their big yellow tent. There is a picture of it at the Bush Protest from 2004 on the news journal from the protest (e:news,29822)
I think it should be illegal for them to set up on the street the way they do. Eventually, it is going to cause an accident when someone gets hit by a car trying to avoid them by crossing or walking in the street.
He is some info about their presence in Buffalo
What is the deal with all their crosses. At first I kind of assumed they were christians of some sort but then I read this
So what is the deal with the crosses? This is their official site with pictures of their building on Main Street in Buffalo New York
Apparently, they even harass children
All I can say is that like any religious group that is secretive and close knit - they scare the fuck out me like children of the corn
I think this letter is the best all just seems so whack
UPDATE - I found this later I is pretty interesting

They stalk people who criticize them as well. Scientology is a made up religion, bottom line. Its inherently dangerous. Oh, by the way, did you know that the "church" essentially has ranks of knowledge where the more you pay, the farther along you go? Some of this "knowledge" requires a $100k+ payment. No wonder celebrities love this garbage - their wealth and status allows for them to be seperated from the riff raff in ways that legitimate religions would NEVER consider.
Seriously, fuck Scientology.

LOL. (e:Enknot) = Unexpected quotes + hilarity! I had the same woman come up to me when I was here, apartment hunting with my friend from Rochester. We thought it was awfully odd. But then, since no one else on main street looked like they had spare time to talk to us, we totally cashed in on the fact that she approached us and quizzed her thoroughly about the general safety, housing, groceries around all the neighbourhoods around Main St. I think we bored her so much that she inched away from us apologizing about lack of time or some such excuse. At one point, my friend and I almost chased her down one street and kept saying, "Ma'am, one last question."

As I drove (e:Jim) home he told me the story while we drove by the Scientology building. (e:enknot) is one hilarious gent.

Home Repair on SundayCategory: housing
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.

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

Canal Fest Sunday For the FireworksCategory: festivals
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

yeah canal fest was pretty craptastic this year. Most of the stuff was closed when we went. But if I get a cookinggreasepickup.com endorsement deal out of then I guess it was all worth it....

Sure, it might sound ironic but I'm pretty sure Stayin' Alive is an AA group. Bullshit politics are probably not on their agenda.

I miss the days when rides like "Flying Bob's" played Heavy Metal. It just isn't the same with the old dance music being pumped in from satellite radio. When I was there they were playing a song by The KLF! Plus, the control booth for that ride needs bumper stickers from every "rock" station that the ride went through.
Ok, my little carnival reminiscing comment rant is over.
