The Elmwood Village Kitchen Tour 2008Category: housing
Today I went on the Elmwood Village Kitchen Tour with my mother and (e:matthew). I liked seeing people's kitchens - it gave me a bunch of ideas. I don't usually get to see many people's kitchens because of my animal allergies. The theme this year was green kitchens.
I would say maybe like 10% of the kitchen's mentioned anything that had to do with green. One lady had bamboo floors and recycled glass counter tops. Another one used a certain kind of tree that grew faster than usual trees. The rest pretty much did not mention anything. Oh accept the one kitchen that had all reused stuff (green) left their shower on during the whole thing to show how awesome it was. It was awesome but serioulsy we could just trust you dude.
I saw some really nice woodwork.
Including this turtle at the Elmwood Village Inn
at which (e:drew) was a tour guide.
Sorry the picture sucks, stupid iphone is really bad with snap shots.
We saw (e:janelle) along the way and ate some Italian Nougat at Delish which was in fact super delish.
In the end we toured the Gilda Radner house which was cool.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE
I really thought showing the two empty houses with half done kitchens that were both for rent on Bryant was tacky. I mean I just paid $18 per person to see kitchens. I don't need your lame ass advertsiement pushed in my face. Especially not if your kitchen isn't even all that. Is there no oversight committee of these kind of things. I felt the same way on the Linwood home tour four years ago when an apartment building showed an empty apartment for rent.
Unrelated but along the way:
I also saw these panties outside Delish and wonder what the story behind that is.

Pantyhoses should be banned. For ethical and medical reasons. A yuckier, more pretentious and ridiculously foolish pain has not been invented. I would go so far as to call them sexist and unwieldy instruments of torture and infection.

Those are pantyhose, not panties. And there's probably a really simple story: Those things are really fucking uncomfortable, and are often worn with uncomfortable shoes. Some chick got drunk enough to be totally fed up with her horribly uncomfortable shoes and the pantyhose that were riding down her ass, and took off the shoes, stuffed them into her purse, took off the pantyhose, stuffed them into her purse, and kept walking. Pantyhose being little bitches, they then proceeded to fall out of her purse as she walked drunkenly barefoot down the street, whereupon they became a slightly disturbing part of the street scenery.
I could probably come up with a much nastier story, but that one above is pretty commonplace and probably true.

as for the panties, you probably don't want to know. As for the weight gain, congrats! I'm trying to go the opposite direction unfortunately and I've gotten extremely lazy and stopped going to the gym :(

Sex in the snow?Category: sex
Some random stranger who signed up for estrip messaged me today saying its tragic that I am bald now as I would be cold outside if I were naked in the winter.
I tried to explain to him how that would be not fun and that I really don't think there are winter nudists. He probably could only imagine the hot extreme of weather which isn't so bad in short doses.
Apparently, some people have thought about his though because I decided to type "snow fetish" into google which lead me to chillygirls.com. I am not even making a link, type it in and visit if your want - IT IS NOT WORK SAFE and sadly chillyguys.com just redirects back to chillygirls.com
Whats absolutely so crazy is - I could not find one sngle mention of gay snow fetishes and lets be honest - gay people can fetishize anything. It makes me think that man parts and snow don't mix. I mean mine definately don't.
Does anyone have sex in the snow? Have any of you had sex in snow?

Contrary to what that stranger who mailed you thinks, I think having shorter hair or being bald in the winter is actually a good idea. First, your short short hair dries faster and if you are bald, you would not hesitate to wear a close fitting cap on your head for the fear of getting cap/hat hair. So the end result is you are more likely to take protective measures against the snow when you are bald rather than when you have a lot of hair that is notoriously hard to keep in check.

I didn't sign up for the site but there is something kinda hot about the site. Or maybe it is just the tied up pictures of girls. Snow isn't a fetish of mine at all. Yes the snow is very nice but not the cold aspect. I have heard of things like girls skiing or snowboarding topless but that is different. I myself have not been lucky enough or maybe that is unlucky enough to have sex in the snow. Not that sex in the snow sounds bad but I don't know as I would want to whip it out and try to stay hard as the blood wants to go the other way but it could be fun. In terms of Snowballing I have never tried it, the 1st defination I could never do but the 2nd one sounds hot kinda. I mean at first it sounds gross but there is also that thing that you love someone so much that you would kiss them after they just got you off.

Wow - I'm really out of touch - I didn't even know there was an "urban dictionary" - I could probably learn some new terminology.

Typing on a non-networked machineCategory: words
So this getting in touch with Danielle (e:paul,45806) reminded me of one of the most fun nights of my high school years. It was before the internet touched my life. She had this word processor. Not the computer type, but the kind you type into and can edit and print. Like a hybrid mini terminal/typerwiter. I think it looked something like this.
We spent the evening typing one sentence after another into the machine creating a story of sorts. I wonder what it said. I serioulsy, can't remember a thing about it - maybe she can. I do remember wandering around afterwards and imagining that everytime we stepped on a sewer cover that we were transported into another universe. I started to belive it after a while because everytime we would step on one, no more cars or anyone went by and it snowed and snowed.
Its crazy how much time I spent just wandering around in the snow in my youth. I do just about everything to avoid it now.

Shaved My Head AgainCategory: hair
I tried to give myself a haircut again but just trimming the sides. Unfortunately, that left me with a mullet. So then I tried to cut it shorter in the back too which gave me this really bad guido haircut. Then I trimmed the top to, not bald just short and it looked too military. Then I decided to turn it into a mohawk but when it was done I decided I was too old for that which took me to the next step - buzz cut.
Somehow this happens everytime. It makes showering really convenient.

I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU SHAVED THAT GORGEOUSLY HANDSOME MOUSTACHE. :/
I am very displeased in a New-Delhi-nasty-kind-of-way. I don't have anyone to mob now. :/

I like rockin' the buzzcut in the summer, I've grown my hair back in for the colder weather though. I'm too scared to try doing anything to my hair by myself, so I go to Supercuts even for a buzz!

You so should have kept the mohawk that would have been interesting. I tried to cut my hair once, that is why my hair is different lengths. I was shaving and was going up towards my ear and my hand sliped and I took a chunk out of the hair on the side so it was time to shave all the hair on the side. My hair was long enough that mos of the time you couldn't tell how short the stuff on the sides and in the back was. I'm sure the back wasn't exactly even but again you couldn't tell from the hair on top of it.

My son ends up doing that everytime he tries to cut his own hair. One of his friends gave him a buzz cut once when there was something wrong with the clippers. He ended up with these completely down to the skin bare spots on his head (sort of a leopardy pattern, though more sporatic). I, of course, had to make fun of him and call him spot. It took forever for the hair to grow back on those spots too - it was wierd. Anyway, it's a nice look on you - you look very handsome (and serious).

@Drew -> Haha.. Good Plan for my brother as well. :)
@Paul: What is this crazy milk-shake? What is the recipé?
+ You look like one of those shady characters that might beat you up on even more shadier streets. Yikes! WHY WHY WHY did you shave that sexy moustache????
I have an extra 10 pounds to spare.
Here's a diet you can try--hang out with me, all day, every day. and consume all of the stuff I shouldn't. You will almost certainly gain weight. (and I will almost certainly lose it).
