the early nerd gets the phoneCategory: mobile
It's so stupid that the force instore activation. It makes me hate AT&T. I mean if they are going to demand it they should make sure they have the resoucres to handle it.
Plus they are so cheap that they will become commonplace making it exponentially less cool and less worthy of a four hour wait. - it's kind of like when Hello Kitty when they started selling it at target and you no longer had to travel to the ends of the earth to find the San rio store.
I still want one though, I am just not willing to wait. The craziest part Is that in that four hour long line it was exclusively men.

Plus they are so cheap now and si many people will have one, that it's not even something special
The rest of the day I will be working on the apartment.

Chuckles RockCategory: food

Yeesh. WHY did you have to tell me that?? Man, that's all my lizard brain will think of now!!!
(e:tinypliny), you never had Chuckle's before?! Ever? Check this out-the vending machine in carlton house sells them. I never noticed it until this morning.
I tried them for the first time this week and seriously no candy comes close to the level of Chuckle perfection. I was CHUCKLING like a loon all day!!!

A day in the life of PaulCategory: buffalo
Squiddy is really into climbing in the pear tree which is loaded with pears. I was really nervous something was wrong after we had no pears last year. Maybe it really is an every oher year thing.

At this parking lot on North and Main where Medina Deli used to be for a week before it shut down, they are putting these signs on people's windows. I figured they would crack down eventually as the lot was full each day. On the other hand, I think it looks way less abandoned with cars in it.

The last tenant and we will have a completely empty duplex with 2 - 3 bedroom apartments. I am ready to do some more remodeling and this will be the final chance to have no one before a new school year starts. It is kind of exciting to start over, especially since the last girl left always pays her rent late. The bathrrom really needed some work anyhow.

After the gym I ate some grass fed steak on the grill and some fried cauliflower. Grow muscles, grow.

I actually fried it all by myself, which if you know me and frying, is a miracle.

I'm trying to write a short description of us for that photo book but it's hard to be sexy, interesting, and endearing in a brief passage:
8 years ago Terry and I met Matthew through a chance encounter with a mutual friend. He stayed over and wore our clothes because I was allergic to his cats and ferrits. The next week he moved in and the three of started a beautiful friendship that lead to love. People are always most curious about how we handle jealousy or commodities. We share everything from our house, an historic church rectory that we bought in 2006, down to our bed and even our underwear - many of which our moms bought for us. We aren't jealous of each other's affection and we keep safe from the unsafe without having to play it safe. There is always someone's shoulder to cry on and an arbitrator for every angry moment. Our pet tortoise named Bazra completes our family. While we have heard of plenty of gay threesome, lol, we never met any other serious triads - yet we would suggest it to anyone.
From 1999-2001 so three years. One of which we lived in germany and the rest in Buffalo and Flagstaff.
awww... that's so sweet! cheers!
how long were you & (e:terry) together before you met (e:matthew)?
I forgot to add--I freakin' love your food entries. You're turning me into a foodie.
Endearing is the first thing that comes to mind when I read the paragraph (thx tinypliny). Very nice write-up.
I can't even imagine how it works, I don't really want the details either. I think that every relationship between people have certain dynamics and even though there are things that are the same no couple or triad is exactly the same. It really comes down to the peoples personalities. I would guess that a triad works best with 3 girls or 3 guys. I would assume that gender differences are likely to cause problems. For example if I was with two bi girls when I didn't have time to be with them, all I would think about was how they where getting it on where ever they where at first it would be hot, but quickly it wouldn't stay that way. I'm not saying it can't be done but I would assume it might make things tougher, but if no one gets jealous then it would fine. So congrats on being a triad you 3 seem so good at it, and good luck with the picture book.
fried cauliflower is like my favoritest food
oh my goodness i am so going to make fried cauliflower...
thanks paul!
That cauliflower looks suspiciously familiar - nice touch with the soy flour though
Ah, try dipping it in Chick-pea flour mixed with rice flour in a ratio of 2:0.5 mixed with ground green chillies (or jalapenos), curry leaves and asafoetida powder (a small pinch). Then fry it. The result is a delicious south Indian pakoda!! *Drool Drool*. I usually use cauliflower in rice pilaf (or pulao) or as a side dish (Sauteed in peanut oil seasoned with mustard seed, yellow split peas, white lentils (urad dal), ginger, green chillies (jalapenos), asafoetida and curry leaves). The north- Indian style cauliflower is sauteed in peanut oil with cumin and then garam masala is added! YUMMMMMM... Delicious. I am SO making this today evening!!
I dipped the cauliflower in egg and then in soy flour.
To be honest, I never had a clue how a triad might work (though you guys seem to do a great job). I thought it would be full of jealousy. The "always having an arbiter" is an angle I never considered. In that way, 3 could be easier than 2! (Whenever it comes down to a vote, (e:janelle) and I always end up tied). I'm sure it takes a lot of generosity, grace, and trust, but all relationships do!
And fried Cauliflower? What did you dip it in before frying it?
Endearing is the first thing that comes to mind reading that paragraph. :)
Hahaha... I am ALWAYS the mindless drone who NEVER realizes that it's me they are calling. It doesn't even take a crowd in my case. Go figure.
Another funny thing is the people who were at the AT&T store for normal things....one obnoxious guy was trying to buy a case for his Instinct, which isn't even an AT&T phone of course. Another was there to ask about a corporate discount on her existing line, getting all pissy because it's taking so long. It was totally disorganized too, one woman is going along the line taking information to give to the rep at the counter to expedite our orders, yet she gives it to the rep helping me after she already entered it all in making it a total waste of time. They'd call the next person and everyone would stand there looking at each other...GO UP TO THE COUNTER. THERE IS NO BODY IN FRONT OF YOU, MEANING YOU ARE NEXT. My God when there's a crowd people just turn into mindless drones!
stopped by the Sheridan AT&T store this morning...line outside, door locked, they're letting in one person at a time. Then I find out they're out of the phones and just taking orders. I say screw this and run to the Galleria. Get in line at AT&T (didn't want to go to Apple because they can't honor my company discount and I heard they can't port but don't know if that part is true or not, plus I hate the Apple store.) and same thing...they're out of iPhones but taking orders for Monday. I drag myself to the Apple store, took one look at that ridiculous line and turn right back around. What the hell is worth waiting that long, seriously...it's a phone. Went back to AT&T upstairs and ordered it for Monday.
Now my problem with it is this...it cost $15 shipping to order it. And it's being delivered to the store. So if they have enough phones which they obviously do since they can be in the store by Monday, why don't they just send them to the friggin stores?? And why am I paying because you bastards ran out? That is complete bullshit, but very ingenious on their part to get more money.
So I am painting at the apartment today and redoing a tile coutner and I needed to be able to use the net on the laptop as the iphone is redic for looking stuff up rapidly - so I switch back to the at&t tilt so that I could tether. I noticed it had cut, copy, paste, tether, flash, 3G and a gps, lol. I think i ma back to that phone at least for today. It shoudl liven up my journal a bit.
I see a chick in the line.
Oh wait, I think she's bringing nourishment to her doofus BF...
I'll settle for chuckles any day. Just have to mosey down to the vending machines.
Come to think of it, they need to sell these in vending machines instead. I think that already do that at airports.
