Beginning of the Birthday Extravaganza
So today is the unofficial/official beginning of my birthday celebration. At work they got my a tasty carvel cake and then when I got home my mom made my favorite dinner (chicken parm) as my birthday dinner becasue on Friday we are going out to dinner for my birhtday so today was a minor favorite food kinda birthday dinner.

I also got my first birthday mail from my great aunt though this week has been lacking in bday mail. I feel like stores and stuff used to send stuff for my bday, I tihnk they do it on e-mail now which is not even half as enjobalbe. I love getting mail and my birthday week was always fulfilling in that regard but we'll see, there are still a few more days.

Then comes tomrorwo lunch with (e:amanda) which has been way to long since we have went to lunch, then school and then maybe some post-square activities (stupid school right smack dab in the middle of thursday at the square time).

Then FRIDAY celebrations and dinner with my fam and then Frizzy's with eveyrone. and then the party on Saturday. I LOVE MY BIRTHDAY!

P.S. Thanks (e:ladycroft) for the early birthday wishes!

Ok... don't get too excited guys, b/c I've missed like the last ten parties... but I just might make it out on saturday! I'm on call, so I'll probably get called in to the hospital given my recent luck... but I suddenly find myself without weekend plans, soooo......!!

Buffalo Casino is sad
so I am not for a casino in Buffalo though I am seiruosly addicted to slot machines lately (at the Niagara Falls one), particularly the Emerald Hot Hot Penny, Penny machine. Anywho, we went to see what the Buffalo casino is like, they have a temporary one up. IT IS THE SADDEST THING EVER! It is like a 10 by 10 foot room with like 40 slot machines and a tiny snack bar. And eveyrone is smoking and it reaks. And eveyrone is waiting in line for machines. Now you can like or dislike casinos but this one is just sad. At least at other casinos it is like a big place and there are bands and bars and restuarants and lot of lights and sounds and colors. No here it seems like just sad sad people, waiting in like to bet away what little money they have. Seriosly sadness people, seiruosly!

P.S. Don't forget mine and (e:terry) 's bday party on Saturday!

P.P.S. There will be plenty of jello shots hopefully!

Sadly the Buffalo Creek Casino is all that it was imagined to be a means to and end. It's existence is just to fulfill the compact with NYS. I have never been but from what I know from the people that I still know on the inside it may be even lower in class than the Gold Spike in Downtown Vegas. That place is known as "copper mine" for the kind of bankrolls that allow the guests to only play the penny machines 1 line a spin.
mike - 08/27/07 22:51
mmmm felly. Rum and cherry coke shots sound amazing!!!!
tinypliny - 08/27/07 22:25
Does it have a clock though? Then it would not only be sad, it would be atypical!
metalpeter - 08/27/07 19:43
Rum and cherry coke sounds so good oh I love Jell-o shots. They are very dangerous and can cause all kinds of problems cause it is easy to consume to many of them. I hope I ain't puking or out cold passed out. Oh bye the way early Happy Birthday to both you and terry I will be there taking pictures, oh what time does it start?

In terms of the casino I haven't been. But one thing you have to consider is that it is temporary and they had to legally open something up. Not sure what the legal status of the land is but You don't want to build this huge thing and then get the rights to gamble there taken away. I'm sure if and when the build a new one it will be really cool at least by Buffalo standards.
fellyconnelly - 08/27/07 15:47
wow the stench of that place must be horrid!
jello shots, hmmm? maybe i should whip up a batch of my award winning rum and cherry coke shots...
james - 08/27/07 14:00
Mike, there isn't a Casino classy enough for you ^_^
paul - 08/27/07 09:23
It sounds like an OTB parlor.
theecarey - 08/27/07 01:00
mmmm jello shots! so good, so dangerous. And I am soooo going to miss the party; as long as plans follow through, I am camping that weekend.

Ive also been thinking of Martini's- is that delightful place on Franklin still serving them up bogo?

Party Book
So the other day at the Eastern Hills Mall with (e:mk) I bought a book about throwing parties cuz it was 50% off the clearance price. You see I always buy books about throwing parties/dinner parties/planning events. LIke I prolly have 50 but I never throw parties. But seriously this book is good, it has like such random things like throwing a hangover party and what kinda of breakfeast/decorations are required the morning after a one night stand. Anywho it gave me lots of good idaes for a dinner party which I need to throw soon, i just need a house. I need to get an apartment so I can throw a fabulous party every day!
tinypliny - 08/26/07 06:58
You have 50 books on the same subject and yet you went and bought another one. ...and they give you advice such as: "Get a house to throw your party first". You crack me up.

And do you really need a decoration after a one night stand? I wonder what it might be... a bunch of flowers and a card saying "I had a great time, and sorry, what's your name again?"

If you could sleep...
Two funny things I heard on Jay Leno some random comedians tonight:

"I'm not an alcoholic, I'm a shopaholic who likes liquor stores"

this is not anything about me, haha, well maybe a little, but I just thought it was funny

and a friends asked me "if you had the chance to sleep with any celebrity dead or alive who would it be" and I said "hmm I guess it would have to be Britney Spears and um I guess i'd choose dead" that one I think you have to hear to make it funnier, I'm not sure I quoted it right
tinypliny - 08/24/07 23:38
LOL @ the BS dead joke. :E
fellyconnelly - 08/24/07 12:39
haha shopaholic
