Bye Bye Mansion
So I'm leaving the mansion as (e:pmt) are coming back today. I actually will have to come back cuz I don't feel like carrying everything I brought down right now (yes I pack for liek a 2 month vacation when I was here 3 days, and my house is only like 10 minutes away, I can't help it, its the way I be, seriously like a suitcase and some extra bags of clothes and necesities like magazines) By the by there was quite an assortment of magazines in the mansion already , how heavenly, they were quite an array of topics I think they have been left by all the different people who have lived/passed through here. I definetely need to get an apartment soon, it is very nice to have one.

I think I am leaving the place the same way I came to it, except there are coals in the grill cuz what do you do with coal? I have no idea, do I pour it in the garbage? garden? Spekaing of gardens, not so sure it is sitll a "buffalo in bloom" garden , more a "crusty brown in buffalo" garden but i watered yesterday so hopefully it springs right back up to life.

There also must have been like flies that hatched in the ktichen ro something. SEriosly yesterday out of nowhere there all of a sudden were like 50 or more flies, most of them flew out the window when we opened it but there are still some. I took out the plants they seemed to be living on/coming from. THe weird par tis there is seriously no food in the ktichen for them to be eating. LIke i hadn't even used the ktichen cuz i ate out all the time and there was no dishes/nothing in the sink/garbage. Like what are htey all doing there. That is what makes me think they hatched somehwere inside. ANywho most are gone or trapped between the screen and window. I also closed off the ennitre room so they can't get into the rest of the house. HOpefully the problem is basically gone. Alright off to a cookout at my real house. Chadi

Please don't let me...
...drink lots of vodka ever again. I never have hangover no matter how much I drink, like very rarely do I have bad hangovers. I feel like crap today after drinking only lots of vodka last night instead of my usual rum. Maybe cuz we didn't eat after and I wasn't in my own bed attributed to it to but i feel like crap. Me and (e:beast) tried to go to lunch and I had to get out of the car and walk so I didn't throw up. I ate some lunch and now feel a little better but still quite bleeh

My Mommy
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!

Hate It/ Mansion Sitting
I hate Eckered/Rite Aid more than ever. Prolly it has been the most stressful ever. I am not a manager/ nor in charge of anything, i don't want to make any decisions/be asked 1 bazillion questions. I want a raise. I want a new job?

On the good side I am mansion sitting for (e:pmt) all week so stop by for a weeklong fiesta.....ok fiesta or really just sitting around watching the R. Kelly trapped in the Closet video over and over waiting for the new episodes to debut.

Development:Elmwood's Makeover
I 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.

yeah. I want more info, too!
tiburon1724 - 07/31/07 15:41
I haven't heard about this - where are some details/other mention of it? This really needs to happen!
paul - 07/30/07 10:24
Has anyone investigated what is within those giant boundaries before blindly agreeing to development in the name of progress?
museumchick - 07/30/07 03:01
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.
metalpeter - 07/29/07 11:01
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.

buffalo needs that, buffalo needs something. desperately!!! and soon!!
