Elmwod taco and subs
Category: food

It really is such a different atmosphere since they remodeled. It's
amzing what a makeover can do. I need one, ok. According to
(e:libertad) someone has scratched up amd tagged the bathroom.

Why are people so obsessed with tagging? It's so super lame. Maybe
they feel lkke they have nothing to claim and thats it. The one that
is the lamest is atak. It's so boring.

Taggers should be tagged.....

metalpeter - 08/01/08 18:57
So you mean after they moved that also got a make over or was that part of the Move? That Atak guy has been tagging (assume it is the same person) for a long time. The thing with Graffiti is that yes it is an art form but often those fancy letters are hard to read if you don't know the font. Add multiple colors and you can get lost. I'm not really a fan of it but I do like spray paint art that are pictures or murals.

Oh man. Just when I thought I had learnt a new word. ;-)

paul - 08/01/08 00:48
I meant makeover - i fixed it

tinypliny - 08/01/08 00:45
What is a makocer? Is it like a false ceiling with hidden lighting?

paul - 08/01/08 00:26

Toxic mulch
Category: environment

At Roswell Park's IT building where I work they have laid down wood
styled mulch made of recycled tires. Sounds green but really it
smells toxic like rubber and doesn't the nastiness leach into the
ground. (e:enknot) said that it is used around the electric box to
prevent shocks, is that the case?

Either way who ever invented it is brilliant. Dumping rubber is
illegal in most places and it is expensive to dispose of. Now some
company has convinced people to buy the old tires and dump it all over
their own properties.

Here's an article on it, albeit a very old one:

Wouldn't a road made out of recycled tires be a little dangerous? If you install it somewhere with a high heat index won't the tires combust?

tiburon1724 - 07/30/08 22:54
I know in some places the roads are made of rubber from recycled tires, can't remember where I saw that though.

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.

lilho - 07/30/08 11:10
i hope we can go when im in town...

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.

brit - 07/28/08 20:39
They want our blood so Tom cruise can drink it in an attempt to preserve his youth....fuck em

libertad - 07/28/08 18:21
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.

drew - 07/28/08 15:55
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.
