My dad is out of town for a few days so tonight me and my mom went out to dinner. We went to the Empire Grill on Hertel. I really like it, it is quite good. I love the calamari po boy sandwich which my mom got but this time I got a chicken,bacon,pesto type sandwich. It was muy delicioso. Then we shopped at Target. We both love clearance more than life itself. She was all I'll show you where the good clearance is, and I was all "i know where it is, I ain't no amateur" but alas she did no one corner of clearance men's items I never knew existed. She is truly a star at what she does. I never really hang out with my mom anymore, i mean i live with her but we never really hang out like we used to. It was pretty fun..my mom is great, i love her!

Development:Elmwood's MakeoverI just read about the new ideas for Elmwood. At first I thought it was so crazy to make an indoor mall but I think it will be realy cool and just want the city needs. I heard they are going to knock down all the houses from like Forest to W. Delevan between Delaware and Richmond and build like an indoor covered but looks outdoor type of retail development. I think it will be really cool. I guess like all these store we don't have in Buffalo want to be part of it cuz it is supposed to be like the cutting edge of retail development ideas. It is gonna be like a whole city but indoors and without houses. I hear they are possibly getting like an H&M and Neiman Marcus and American Apparel and lots of stores we don't have here. I think they are gonna devote they said at least 15% to local buisnesses so like that is cool too so business can stay. This way like the residents can concentrate in other areas and that can be all business. I don't if like some of the historic homes they will keep but I heard the rest they are knocking down. I don't know how set in stone this is, i think it is just in the planning stages, but it sounds really cool.

Has anyone investigated what is within those giant boundaries before blindly agreeing to development in the name of progress?

I think peter is probably right about that, just because of certain elements within the elmwood neighborhood. They gave the Birchfield museum the hardest time to be built, even though I still can't fathom why they did so. I definitely agree with you that this mall proposal might be an excellent idea.

I hate to be the voice of doom here. I don't know all the details but from what I have heard it does sound like a good idea. However it won't happen. Here is why. You will get a small handfull of people that don't want it and protest and sue and make it to much work for the buinesses to come here so they will go somewhere else and the NIMBY's will win again. One of the problems with Buffalo is when ever they have the public forums only the people who don't want things speak up. I hope I'm wrong, but I also hope that this project is done the right way. but if one person forgets to dot there eye before they write out there next word there will be a lawsuit so this could get very interesting.

Attacked by a ChotchkeyI think that is the right word. As anyone who knows me knows I love to collect random crap. So many knick nacks and pattywacks and what not. Like my room is chuck full of things that no longer have display space and all counter tops are covered in figurines and memorabilia and pictures etc....
Well trying to close my dresser drawer the other day which was overstuffed with tshirts and wouldn't close , does one freakin heavy bird figurine wearing a fishing cap and an I love elephants bracelet from the buffalo zoo as a lifepreserver fall and hit me right in the back of the skull. It hurt so bad. I was 100% sure I was gonna have a concussion. Luckily I did not but it really hurts. By the by you must think well at least it was like a really memorable thing to have and so it was worht the pain. Well this particular fiugring I bought at like the odd's and ends type store (RIP Odd's and Ends I will miss you forever) at the Main Place Mall. I bought it cuz i was killing time waitng to meet (e:mk) for lunch and it was only 74 cents which i thought was such a ridiculous cheap price for a bird in a fishing hat figurine. And once I get something in my hands it beocmes a cherished memory forever......... that i can never part with.........even after it tries to kill me

you are the most ridiculous person ever! more ridiculous than me by far, i think! who else would think, "hey this bird in a fishing hat figurine is on sale for the bargain price of 74 cents, it's a must have!" im pretty sure only you and a million frumpy cat women/old ladies all over the world. maybe you should wear a helmet and protective gear in your room, it sounds like a hazardess place...

Glasses M' LassesSo I finally made an appointment to get glasses, August 6 is the day. How crazy. But super random is today on Will and Grace it is about Karen finally deciding to get glasses but then refusing. It was just really fun that it was on today...the day I decided I want to see....
Ok the day I decided I wanted to see was the other day at Canal Fest when I said , look at that huge log and (e:paul) pointed out it was a family of ducks....I guess my vision is a little worse than I had thought/realized

Be ready to cough up $350 and up... and up.
And though I know I am myopic and also have those $400 worth spectacles, I felt horrid wearing them. I never got used to the fact that the ground comes up a bit and everything is so artificially and precisely outlined once you put on the spectacles. So I went back to living in a comfortably soft-focus world and my spectacles went back to living wherever the hell they are.
Good luck with yours.

I didn't know I needed glasses til we were at a restaurant and I put on my dad's and all of the sudden I could read the specials. I just assumed NO ONE could read stuff that far away. My parents were like 'um, yeah. al? eye doctor. ASAP."
