Party Time
Saturday night Felly and I, along with some friends, will be going to Club Marcella's for my...gasp, 25 birthday! We will probably go around 10 oclock or so...cept I have never been there and don't know when the party gets going (anybody?)

If you wanna dance...now is the time!
chico - 02/06/08 17:20
ditto lilho's comment on timing... ami says Marcella's probably won't get going till around 12
jbeatty - 02/05/08 17:27
If I'm not working I'm in!
james - 02/05/08 13:12
sounds like a blast. I will be sure to get tipsy and gush over how awesome you are.
lilho - 02/05/08 13:01
i do want to dance, but cant you wait you wait and celebrate next weekend? anyway, nobody really goes out until 1130...

Awww, tanks

Thanks for all the positive feedback on my potential project...I have to admit, I am also considering doing a project on monogomous gay couples and depending on how many I find, I might do that instead, as it is slightly more relevant to my personal research interests, but if that doesn't work, I will be sure to let you all know.

Today I am going to the dentist. Advantage Dentistry on Elmwood in Kenmore. They aparently have stereo headphones for my probing pleasure and a pill that can make you sleep through the entire procedure...I don't know about that whole thing...I am hoping that doesn't mean I have to pay extra for those pansy ass folks who can't handle a little poke in the mouth. Hah.

Oh yes...and the Bandits game. I have to say, it was less painful than I thought. I felt kinda like the first time I went to NYC though.. we got to the suite and there were all these tables with candles on them, a beautiful food spread, and a bartender who came right up and asked if he could get us anything. Free booze rocks! I felt like a star. And plus...the sing a song...or chant a chant, whatever you want to call it...and maybe I am juvenile, but BOX is just funny.
mrdeadlier - 02/05/08 12:17
Advantage Dentistry! Those are my dentists too. I never did the whole sedation thing though. I always imagined that they did it with an IV, but I heard on a radio ad recently and now your blog that it's a pill. I wonder what it is?

Not that I'm a pansy, just curious. :)
metalpeter - 01/21/08 17:28
The suite you got sounds awesome. The time I went the owner wasn't there so we had to pay for everything, sounds like it was a good time.
fellyconnelly - 01/21/08 14:01
she got her tooth yanked and sent away within a half hour.

hehe box.

maybe lauren could do a study on homosexual animals. because our cats are totally gay. especially when catnip is involved.
jim - 01/21/08 13:07
Our dog and my cat are totally into each other and they're both males though.
james - 01/21/08 13:05
Jim and I aren't gay, but we can pretend for your study if you like.
lauren - 01/21/08 11:52
PS. I guess, now that I am thinking about it... that if any of you monogomous gay couples are willing...lemme know :)

Idea...Help?
Category: school
Hello friends...I know I have been neglecting you all, and now I have come to ask yet another favor. I am taking an ethnographic methods class (ie. qualitative research) and I have to eventually write a 20 page paper based on interviews of a select group that I choose... I have not cleared this with my Prof yet, but I was considering using you all for this little mini study. I think that online communities are all the rage :) and this would be the perfect size to do a small scale, localized study of such a group. Of course you would be completely anonomous...I guess I have to go through some board of blahdeeblah in order to get my research approved, so it will all be on the up and up....so you get this gist? I would of couse be wanting interviews...anywhere from an hour or more that would be recorded...and I would buy you coffee or lunch for your troubles. Again, this is not a sure thing yet, but if anyone would be willing to participate, please let me know so I can have an idea of whether or not this is feasable.
Thanks!

i will be a guinea pig. :O)
mrmike - 01/19/08 20:37
Sure
metalpeter - 01/19/08 16:35
That sounds like something that I would be willing to do. I can't make any promises cause I don't know what it is about and I don't know how our schedulles would line up.
jim - 01/19/08 14:00
Only if you hand out lolipops
drew - 01/19/08 13:58
sounds good to me.
imk2 - 01/19/08 13:38
oh fun! i had to do a similar thing for my senior seminar. i did mine with the refugees at vive la casa.
mike - 01/19/08 13:34
you could totally inteview me
paul - 01/19/08 12:12
That sounds awesome to me. If you need any automated data collection or stats stuff too, feel free to ask.

yuck
ok, so i need to have a wisdom tooth pulled...i am pretty sure it should be a simple extraction...not needing an oral surgeon... however, i have no insurance and am therefore looking for recommendations for dentists who are reasonable cheap yet won't give me a staph infection. i am not one of those terrified of dentist types, but I have only been to one dentist in my whole life who went to my church and was friends of the fam, so this is new for me. Please help!
fellyconnelly - 01/11/08 09:36
(e:lauren) was informed that the UB dental clinic was alright except that the whole process is longer due to them stopping and explaining and asking questions all the time - also a large croud watching the whole procedure... that creeps her out i guess.... lol
paul - 01/10/08 21:53
Ya, I think UB is a great option for students. You should see about it.
james - 01/10/08 21:16
UB has a dental clinic. It may take a while to get an appointment but I have known several people go there and not come out deformed.

Which is as high a recommendation for a doctor as you are going to get the way doctor recommendations have been going on this site.
jim - 01/10/08 21:16
For $99 I'll do it. 50/50 chance on the staph thing though.

what did i miss?
Category: elmwood
so felly and i returned a few days ago from our trip to lake george, only to find a giant gaping whole that was once a building on elmwood. anyone know what im talking about? it is one block north of Casa di Pizza but i can't for the life of me remember what was there. it looks like a fire, but we tried searching for it online and found nothing...i was hoping you all, being the wealth of knowledge that you are, could help me out on this. i guess i just nosy, but inquiring minds want to know!
fellyconnelly - 01/04/08 19:23
ah yes... the old pier one! we couldn't figure out what we were missing! thanks so much for settling our frantic crazed craziness!
james - 01/04/08 15:16
you missed a little demolition.

But we missed you ;_;
jim - 01/04/08 13:21
Is it next to the brick highrise apartment building? and across from Toro? If so Drew is right, they're partially demoliting the old Pier one and are turning it into a bank.
drew - 01/04/08 13:20
Is it the former Pier one? It will become a bank.
