Fuji grill sushi
Category: food

As a treat for going to the doctors, I treat myself to Fuji grill down
the street from his office.

It was about 50% the quality of Kuni's for about the same price. Not
sure if I would go back as I had bones in my mackerel, which I
complained about and they didn't comp it. I never had bones, ley
alpne multiple bones in sushi. That's bullshit I should have just
choked and made a scene, LOL. At least the waiter was cute and the
wakame salad was delicious.

Bennett Beach Swimming Fun
Category: swimming

I went to Bennett Beach

with (e:jim), (e:james), (e:terry), and (e:matthew). I think it was probably the most fun I ever had at the beach. The waves were really like up to 5+ feet high and slammin. At first the life guards made us get out of the water. After a short while we just went down the beach far enough away from their overlording and jumped in. It was so awesome. Lots of other people soon followed.

I think it might have been the most fun moment of the summer besides dancing to Andy C at WEMF 2008. For once we were all having fun doing the same thing. Well, accept for (e:jim) - he sat on the beach and read programming books about erlang - dork!

I wish I took pictures but I totally forgot about it for once because I was so involved in the moment. I want to go back the next time it is warm and windy.

Scientologists want your blood

Why would anyone go to the church of Scientology to give blood when
there are so many less sketchy, secular places to donate.

Surely once you are tied down they eat your brains.

The fact that the signs are done with paper taped to the boards and
that American red cross part is almost entirely scratched off makes it
even weirder.

They want our blood so Tom cruise can drink it in an attempt to preserve his youth....fuck em

Even if they would take my gay blood that might infect the rest of the population I would never do so there. That is crazy.

hodown - 07/28/08 17:20
Um yeah I don't think Id be giving my blood there.

While I share your suspicions about the Scientologists, that is just how the red cross does its signs.

And I think they ask every faith community. They asked us, and made taped over signs for us, too.

But if you give at the red cross building on Delaware, they have fast service and good treats.

Visiting dave at ecmc

Wow, he got really smashed up from that car. He is in the ICU at
ECMC. It is so great that he has such a close, caring family. It
makes me want to have kids. The nurse said he responded to some
commands this morning, which is good. It so hard to see such a
physically active guy so broken down.

The hospital itself is kind of strange. It looks a bit like a prison
and is blocked off from the sidestreets with barbwire fences. The
neighborhood on the other hand is much nicer than you would expect
with the barbwire fences. Tended gardens, painted houses, cut lawns,
cobble stone street - it was actually pretty cute.

This is awful news. :( My thoughts and prayers go out to Dave and his family.
I hope sincerely that Dave pulls through this tough time!!

Please keep up posted!!

Sun burn
Category: health

I can't believe I got this little piece of sunburn. I never get
sunburned. If I ever get cancer there, this journal will be evidence it all started at WEMF 2008 (e:paul,45082)
