so (e:lauren) and i are going to a bar in wheatfield named, coincidentally enough, JT Wheatfields.

We are going to go meet my aunt and cousing for a few drinks.

i think i'm scared. No wait... i KNOW i'm scared.

"West of the Mark" - WesternNY's premier country western band is playing.

if i don't make it then be sure to auction off my belongings and donate the proceeds to (E:strip)!

okay so it wasn't so bad there... we actually had a pretty decent time!

mrdeadlier - 01/12/08 19:44
It's not SO bad there. The place definitely has a mid-80's feel to it though.

shopping for dummies
Category: randomo

So yesterday was our big shopping day.

Started out with a trip to the DMV - which was on 77 Broadway. So I (being the noob of buffalo streets that I am) decided to punch the address into my VZ navigator. It popped up with two address possibilities and i selected the first one - but i realized that one was probably wrong as we started heading south on 190 PAST downtown. turns out that the first address was actually a rural road in Clinton(?). Interesting town. We decided to go with the address even though our gut feelings said NOOO! Eh its only gas right?

So when we got back to buffalo and hit up the DMV - got my registration lickity split (suprise suprise). Then off to an Oil change at sonics.

Then we decided to head up to see what the outlets in the falls were all about. WOW they sucked. They REAAAAALLLY sucked.

Then we hit the summit mall that i remembered going to in my youth. Now here is the funny thing - i sorta remembered that mall sucking when i was a kid - and now it REALLY sucked. And it sucked even more in the fitting room of the bonton when i started crying. but that is another story altogether.

We then hit the boulevard mall and got an eye toy groove game and some underwear. Giving up alltogether we asked the VZ Navigator to kindly direct us to an olive garden. There we waited 65 to 75 minutes (which turned into 50 minutes thankfully) for a table.

A quick stop at Wegmans and we came home. Now tell me how we went shopping all day and only bought a couple underwears and a video game?

(e:jenks) - eye toy is a camera for the PS2 that puts you on the screen and your movements controlt he game. A great workout i think...

I love olive garden. Though of course it will never compare to the real thing...

also - the summit park mall IS a joke. i thought it was closed when we walked in!! and (e:mike), i bet you were sitting in the sunken lily pond. thats probably the only part of the mall that is worth it.

vincent - 01/12/08 14:28
The Summit Mall! Maybe it it was 1982 going there would be a good time.

Although when I was in high school that is where al the "Mall Chicks" hung out with their hair that sprayed us into this global warming we have now ;-D

mike - 01/12/08 14:09
the summit park mall is a joke. Me and (e:mk) went there a few years ago just to see, and like it was basically a Bonton and a huge DEBS shop, it was so dead that we actually didn't realize it had closed cuz we were sitting in this area with plants and we got locked in and then got in trouble for being in there after it was closed.

That reminds me of a comedian I saw I want to say bill burr but not sure if that is correct he has a line that goes "My Family is italian but Olive Garden italian" and the joke goes on from there. I haven't been there in a long time but it is pretty good. If you want to go to a chain that doesn't feel like a chain check out Buca Di Beppo they have large portions that are supposed to be shared and pictures all over the walls it is a pretty cool place. Another interesting place is Tony Romes or is that romeos somthing like that it is named after a frank sintara charater in a movie has a lot of vierty of foods and is coverd in sintara stuff and his music is playing in the background.

i would like to just say for one, that i love olive garden. i will always have a special deep love for it in my heart. maybe i will go there tonight....

mrmike - 01/12/08 12:50
Not if it is going to take you to an Olive Garden. I'd want my GPS to take me to a decent Italian restaurant like Marcos or Santisaros

jenks - 01/12/08 12:35
ok, what is this eye toy thing? I supposed I could google it, but really I'd rather someone just tell me about it. ;) Do I need one?

exercise? what is that?
Category: randomo

(e:lauren) and I started back up with the breakdancing classes last night after a two month vacation. OW! WHen you don't workout (or use any type of physical energy) for two months you really can get sore pretty quickly!

ok so from now on we need to fully practice every Monday and Friday, in addition to classes on Wednesday.

Also I have pulled out the camera for the Eye Toy for playstation 2. I don't care what you say - that sucker is a workout! Also I am getting some protein shake powder stuff and so i can begin having a deliciouis shake for my breakfast everyday. Well I say it is a delicious shake but really i am not looking as forward to it as you may say. I like food. not shakes. whatever.

anyway - i need to get myself moving and off to work...

fellyconnelly - 01/11/08 09:39
the eye toy really is a fun way to exercise too.. last night i battled it out with some boxing program and sweated my bum off!

libertad - 01/10/08 13:49
You sound like one of my clients (title). Usually when I suggest excercise it follows by long moments of silence.

james - 01/10/08 10:52
I don't know why people slog out a workout on an exercise in a basement 40 minutes at a time. Those New Year's resolutions die real quick when you are so bored you could pull your teeth out.

But you kids breakdancing is so awesomely awesome. A+

work

Last evening I had a get together with a few people from work. The one woman who hosted our little party called it a 'book club without the book' and I think that was the appropriate name for it.

Our gracious hostess made this... pie? It had a crushed almond crust and the filling was coconut and banana. The kicker for the whole thing is that everything in the pie was raw! The whole dish was heathy and DELICIOUS! And (e:lauren) doesn't like coconut so the piece i brought home ig et to eat today!

We had a great time talking about.... all kinds of things.. mostly about coworkers. Including our employee appreciation party....

on the 19th our boss is taking us all (springville, east aurora and lockport) to a Bandits game. We will be having a game room and he is providing food, wine, beer, and tickets. We are all bringing our significant others as well.

So we had a very interesting time discussing how interesting the course of events will be. All three stores meeting eachother (for the first time?). Meeting the significant others of everybody. (everybody meeting my signifigant lauren!)

Oh I can't wait to brave this sea of crazy.

Anyway - I should get ready for work.

fellyconnelly - 01/08/08 21:44
haha james you said meat pie!

metalpeter - 01/07/08 16:32
It sounds like it could be a lot of fun and a little bit crazy, oh yeah and you get to see a Bandits game also, hope it is a great time.

james - 01/07/08 10:57
I make a killer raw meat pie.

it sounds like your job has a few nice perks at least. Probably doesn't come close to making up for holiday madness.
