Fixing (Breakin) Windows
Category: housing
We decided to repair some window sashes and fix the counter weights. One window is awesome, two are shattered. The weights we had for the windows didn't match the weight of the window, so it wasn't working right. I think there used ot be leaded or stained glass there.
image

Looks liek the inside of the window panel says XVIIII C, seem slike 1900 which would eb the ryear the house was supposedly built.
image

After I eft the other window in the living room on the floor so it could not falll and (e:terry) walked on it with his boots on.

This one Holy Hock is the only one that survived the japanese beetle plague. Only on eo fof hundreds, and every flower on it survived, it was also kinda drawf. I should probably save the seeds

He wasn't drunk, lol. It was dark in the living room and he was looking for his phone.
james - 09/16/07 22:00
With his boots? Was he drunk? Do I even have to ask?

Basra, sorry it is winter
Category: pets
It got so cold on saturday I had to take Basra in the house. He had started to dig really deep into his cave. I think he was trying to hibernate.

image

He got so dirty digging in his cave.

image

image

He look like he is being coy here.

The Weekend
Category: buffalo
Was pretty crazy. I did a lot of programming as usual, managed to break two windows, fix one window, and went to two shows in the Beyond In Western New York art opening.

The Beyond In Western New York 2007 Art Show just started. You should check out some of the events, both Rockwell Hall an dthe Albright Know were both bumping.
image

It rained so much the other night.
image

Looks like this squirrel just couldn't give up the chesnut.
image

He smushed.
image
image

Hm, railroad vacation land? (e:terry) caught that one.

I know this is a little pretentious
Category: estrip
But happy 1,000,000 journal views to myself. It has been a long time since I started counting in december of 2003. It doesn't count when I am logged in looking at my own journal either, so no - these aren't all me looking at myself.

Thanks to all of you that have listened to my rants along the way. I hope that I at least exposed some people to some new ideas or food or that you at least had fun laughing at me or sharing the horrors and treasures that I uncovered over the last several years.

I needed to port the particle code over to surebert for the snowflakes this winter so I decided to do it today and use it for my balloons. We can use it for other special occasions too.

metalpeter - 09/15/07 18:53
The scary thing is that when I added up the next four people behind you in views Me, Matt, Ajay and News our total was 916,041 so that means you have more views then the next 4 people combined (assuming I added it correctly)
paul - 09/15/07 15:53
They are like all that tacky javascript gaudiness from early in the 2000s that I miss.
jim - 09/15/07 15:29

A Tour of North Street
Category: buffalo
On a lighter now. We decided to do a tour of the Carapelli museum in the old Christian Scientist Church. The building seem so empty and lifeless. It looks like what would be the the government's Ministry ministry if there was one. It has a few manuscripts that you can freely look at. Currently, the selection includes hand written notes by famous criminals. The one from Charles Manson was peed on, he even wrote the word pee on the pee spot.

image

I do not believe that the hand written note from Gallileo, once of the only ones in the western hemisphere is sitting, unprotected in that empty building that you can just wander around in.

Their guest book seemed rather slim.

I have to say they had the nicest urinals I have probably ever seen. If they ever go out of business I would buy them. In buffalo you can actually wish for that kind of thing and have it be possible, lol.

image
I really love the Bemis house. I wish someday I could own a house like that one. Also, maybe could be possible in Buffalo.

Can you imagine having those bricks or those gargoyles.
image

image

The Mark Twain house was also pretty aweosme. You can't really tell how big it is till you go right up to it, or you see a picture with a person in it.

image

Look how big that freakin window is!
image

They are really fixin it up.
image

image

Three assholes on North, lol

image

And then there is this insane remudled house across the street. What the fuck is up with that upside down brick thing in front of the natural doorway. How did anyone decide to do that?

paul - 09/15/07 21:03
Ya, the manuscript place is free. You should go, just to see it. That bathroom is in the basement and is kind of creepy and in the dark. It looks like something out of a horror film or a gay porn, lol.
metalpeter - 09/15/07 18:31
I have walked past those Buildings a bunch of times and never thought to walk up to them, I wonder why that is. The same can be said of that Manuscript place. Great pictures by the way.
paul - 09/15/07 18:14
It is right near the corner of elmwood and north. Going toward symphony circle it would be on your right.
theecarey - 09/14/07 22:45
My brain is drawing a blank. Where is the Bemis house? I'm imagining NForest, but your post is a tour of North. I cant visualize where.
I haven't been close up to the buildings you, Matt, Terry and Dave were at. I love that gigantic window! As you said, its a lot bigger up close; which I hadn't thought about just in looking at them.
