Those pickles are Bubbies pickles
I know silly name but they are so good and are naturally fermented instead of with vinegar. I get them at the coop but feel right has them too sometimes. Totally worth it, they are so freakin tasty.

Post Gym Yum YumsCategory: food
I am hpoing to find plenty of tasty sea food up north. I imagine the lakes are cleaner ther and the fish is yummy. Today after the gym I settled for mussels to build muscles. I like them but they are also kind of second rate compared to clams. Those suckers are seirous protein, not as much as calamari but close. I am getting closer and closer to deciding that a seafood smoothy would be good. What about cold with some lime juice and salt, or horse radish. Kind of like cerviche.

Taking it off the grid - trip to wemfCategory: vacation
I am leaving on a trip way up to the great north tomorrow to go to WEMF . (e:jon) convinced me to buy the tickets. Thank you (e:jon). I will be dancing in the sunny outdoors to all the favorite DJs from my childhood, while :jim sits through a typography conference ;)
I haven't been so far up in Canada. I am taking (e:terry) with me which will leave (e:matthew) to defend the fort. I think this is the first time we have ever been apart since we met. By the time we come back I expect the furniture and garden willl have been arranged so many times it will look the same, lol. I am going to miss him so much. I will also miss squiddy.
But even crazier is that I will be off the interweb for three days. This has not happend since 2003. My iphone will not work in canada, or should I say it will work in canada but cost me approximately $10,000 to run it with roger's damn roaming fees. I considered bringing the windows mobile and trying to buy a pre-paid canadian SIM but where do you get one?

i don't understand why the iphone wasn't sold in canada (maybe it still isn't) and why reception has to cost a fortune even though you're on the same continent. My blackberry doesn't work up there for voice either, but i can get data just fine. sounds like it will be a good time.

Ooohh, have fun! Take plenty of pictures and put them up later! You could then be on the interweb in a sort of retroactive way (pun entirely intended).

Fighting over pillsCategory: chrohns
I was on Asacol for Chron's and moved on Lialda which in fact changed my life. It is once a day, it seem sto absorb way better and it means I don't have to carry around pills all day an d remember to keep taking them. I am also 100% better since the swicth having liek 5-6 good days a week instead of 2-3.
Anyways, so I was surfing around for info about Lialda and found this forum
where pharmaceutical sales people ar arguing about Asacol vs Liadla. It is so freakin hilalrious the way they rip at each other. I never realized that those kind of arguments also went online.
Sales reps are strange individuals.

hey douche. symptomatic relief does not equal symptomatic remission. it took 43 days to get patients into symp remission. it's in black and white and it's in the study that you keep in your bag. look at it. ever ask yourself why the number of days to symp remssion isn't even reported in the Kamm study?
Nice post, douche. If symptomatic remission data is so important why are you assholes telling your docs that Asacol provided symptomatic relief in as little as 9 days? Because if you showed your docs the symptomatic remission data, they'd laugh at you and prescribe placebo. Keep sniffing the P&G glue, how many years do you have left until you can retire with that promised package?

Day at work, night at gymCategory: gym
Work
Work was great today. I had a meeting about my new position and get to move on the stuff I planned on working on as they seemed to vibe good with the VP and the auditors. I have so much responsibility now. My plan is to let the groups of people that use the specific languages, which there are many, decide on the standards, co-incding with industry ones. It is going to be fun to work on standards for languages like COBOL that I will have to leanr a lot about.
Then we had a meeting about the intranet and decided on the people for the focus group. I think the ideas I had are pretty radical and what Roswell needs to get by in for a new progresive intranet. It will be such a huge, yet fun undertaking. It is amazing how big my projects are and how much influence I have had over the direction of how things are going. It makes all those endless hours of programming, teaching, studying and practicing seem worth it. Before I thought I was throwing my life away being bound to the computer for so many years and now I realize it was just laying a foundation for something greater.
The Gym
Speaking of laying the foundation. Man, I am getting way buff. Tonight I worked out so hard I was exhausted afterwards.
In the lockerroom, I was talking to this gym friend of mine about documenting life on the internet and how sometimes I am scared of what would happen if the political climate changed and gayness was more frowned upon with some sort of reprocussion. It is kind of hard to pretend when your whole life is in google cache. He seemed kind of amazed at how much of this generations life is online. Imagine gen Y. I mean I am only X.

I misunderstood sorry. I hope that doesn't happen. But I'm sure there was a time when Jews thought being in Germany was safe so if it can happen there, we must learn from that and not let it happen here, oh wait it did with the Japanese I mean let it not happen again.

I hope we humans don't get more insular and segregated as we evolve!! That would defeat the point of evolution.
Anyway, I would LOVE to be a part of the focus group, if you are still recruiting. :)

I meant more like the government rounding you up and putting you in concentration camps kind of dangerous, not street dangerous.

Maybe I'm just a little bit crazy. But if i understood what you meant is that if things changed and being gay publicly became dangerous. I think it is important to know that it can still be dangerous. I think that there are areas in each city and each state where acceptance is different for gays, blacks, woman and others. For example the Elmwood strip you might see girls holding hands (i have) or two guys shopping in Wilson Farms who are together and you can tell and no one says anything. But at the same time there could be places in Buffalo that the same activity could get you into trouble real quickly. I'm guessing that there are places that if you where out and on the internet it wouldn't be safe (the sterotype is small towns and the bibble belt) not sure where those places are. I think that most people who don't approve won't get up in your face about it. I know that in the military they have that stupid Don't ask Don't tell policy but I wonder if you where found on the net but you never said anything if they would let you join, or if later they found stuff but it had no military link like that you where a soilder I wonder what they would do?

The rental propertyCategory: housing
The top apartment at our rental propert is coming along. We redid the kitchen floors, we painted, new appliances (still have to get a new fridge as the other one molded on the inside), finsihing new counters and light over sink - then it is done. It is looking really good finally.
It sucks doing work and having it not be the house you live in. We spent a lot of the weekend working on it.
The kitchen
The sink counter ends still need to be fabricated
The dining room. What to do with the hutch? Should I leave it?
The living room looks nice in white.

i don't know as i would have ever put a baked potato, lettuce, cherries and pickle on the same plate but that all looks amazing...
You have set a high bar for yummy pics on this journal Paul.
Oh I had a protein drink, a sucker and fresh plum, bilberry juice and like 20 other cherries. I just thought they were to boring to qualify and yummies and get a pic.
Hmm...I love clams. Never had a muscle, though. I just recently has my first steamed clam. At first, its texture sort of through me off, but after a few chews, I was all for them. Hope you have a safe trip!
Pardon me for being a smart ass. But you should bring a piece of fruit and some protein powder to the gym. A big part of recovery is restoring glycogen levels. The best way to do that is to have a sugary piece of fruit. Liquid protein also helps heal the microtrauma in the muscles, which means healed/bigger muscles faster. It is most effective to have both within 20 minutes of ending your workout.
Keep at muscly.
