I love having a super fast point and shoot camera.
(e:enknot) also pointed out this is the new vision for Panos which I have to say looks pretty nice.
In an unrelated asian restaurant...
It started like this: We waited like 5 minutes to be seated in the restaurant but it was full accept for the patio in blazing sun with no one on it - or this one five person tablet that was empty in the back corner.
We ask for a table, the dude says, "How many?" I say, "three" and he says, "no table." I say, "What about that one?" and he says, "it is for five." I say, "Oh it is reserved, he says, "no it isn't, but would you like to sit outside?"
Now if I was a rational human being I could have just gave in and said no thank you and told him I was takig my business elsewhere or insisted on being seated there . Instead the sicilian in me took over and I said, "Then I will not be eating here and proceeded to leave while spitting on the inside of the glass door. Maybe, I do need anger management classes.
Its better than the time I threatened to burn down a hotel in downtown phoenix and the police had to come. Man, I used to be such a freak.

Terry's BirthdayCategory: birthdays
We went to the El Caporal for (e:terry) to have his 28th birthday dinner. He freakin' loves Mexican Food.
Their shrimp dinner was pretty good at cheap. The margarittas were only $2.
I love the mormon in the hood, they are so cute.
The love joy pool is such a crazy style. It looked like that since I was a kid. I don't know if it is really a pool or not anymore.
And yes, (e:terry) did get his xBox 360 elite along with Viva Pinata.

Late Happy Birthday. I have been to that place twice and by mistake got the same thing both times it was very good. The funny thing is both times I went the people I went with didn't know how to explain what flavors those colored pops or drinks where so I didn't get one. Terry does look like he is going to go do something with that xbox is Viva Pinata the same as the Cartoon or are they unrelated?

Elmwood Arts FestivalCategory: festivals
The elmwood arts festival is great. Well, at least when you don't live there. I remember living on Lafayette and Elmwood, the stage was right outside our bedroom window. It was insane to wake up to testing 1, 2, 3.
I really go just for the artichokes. They are so good, I have a hard time deciding what kind to get. Does anyone know if these people ahev a restaurant somewhere? I think they are caled "Artichoke French."

Basra Eats and Some Other StuffCategory: pets
Basra loves the occasional snack plum or fruit. Usually he just eats greens so he gets really excited.
About 4 years we made soap. (e:matthew) claims he was not present. Somehow his effigy made it into this soap. You can clearly see his penis floating above us, lol.
I cut my hair off. Before I also cut my beard I looked like a terrorist.
On the not so tasty front, (e:enknot) found this bird on Main Street the other day. I couldn't not take a picture.
Last week Nameless Bitch arrived and found an apartment over on Minnesota.

I am (an) ItalianCategory: heritage
Well just about everybody knows that that is what I am ethnically but soon enough I will be able to really say I am an an Italian when I reclaim my citizenship. I finally got all the paperwork I needed - really in order. I guess it would be cooler if I could say it in Italian - I think it would be "Sono un italiano"
The next step is dragging myself and my stuff to the consulate in New York City and probably dragging my mother and maybe brother along with me. I suggested we take (e:mike) to and make it a Mom and me trip, lol. I wonder if there is a consolute in Toronto I could go to considering I am applying to reclaim my Italian citizenship which has little to do with America. Seems like it should not matter where the consulate is.
I am kind of excited and a little be apprehensive because it opens up so many possibilities as a world citizen.

i'm still just canadian. people ask me all the time if i am a u.s.citizen and when i say no, they think i am illegal, as though there is nothing inbetween citizen and illegal immigrant.
so... will you travel to canada on your italian or us pasport?

It is actually way easier for mom because she just has to prove she never rejected her Italian citizenship. Then we would both get it.

That is so great. You have an EZ out if things get hairy around here ;) You still can't go to Cuba though, it isn't legal for dual citizens either.

Mike, this could be good for you: MILITARY SERVICE
Decree n. 226 of 23 August 2004 (G.U. n. 204 of 23/8/2004), calls for, as of January 2005, the early suspension of obligatory military service and the establishment of professional military service.

Don't ever to Betty's during peak time. You might want to kill 'em all.
Oooh, the spitting was such a cool touch. :) Hats off to you!
Wow... Paul... i promise, if you ever come over to our house again, you can sit anywhere... honest.
