Couples enjoy the fake Holiday
Category: holiday
Well I admit it isn't really fake, and couple don't really need to celebrate it at all and this is just a simple version of it not like the wikipedia form of it, I guessing that one has multiple pages.

Sweetest Day 2008



When: Third Saturday in October

Now here is a day dedicated just for your sweetie. It exists as an opportunity for you to recognize that sweet and special someone. It doesn't matter who that person is, or what their relation to you. They just have to be "sweet" in order to get a little recognition.

Herbert Birch Kingston, a Cleveland, Ohio philanthropist and candy company employee started Sweetest Day. He wanted to bring happiness to orphans, shut-ins and under-privileged. His intent was to show these people that they were not forgotten. In 1922, he started this holiday by giving candy and small gifts. He often used movie stars to distribute the gifts.

The popularity of this holiday quickly spread. Today, is celebrated with loved ones and friends. However, we encourage you to follow the intent of the original holiday, and find ways to give candy and small gifts to those in need.



So Happy Sweetest day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey I do have an idea maybe Anee in any city that it plays in should be free on Sweetest day and on Sunday also and the tickets are given away. I'm sure the people who do the musical or did the movie could have some tie in maybe the movie is free if you buy candy or something.

Well Maybe since there now has to be some company sponsering of holidays the new day could be pushed by lemon growers. The two product placements could be Sour Skittles and Sour Patch Kids. The drink would be Lemon Juice right from the Plastic Bottle (hey who didn't try that as a kid).

Feb 14th was such an icy horrible day this year. Yeah, good idea. I am going to try be my sourest on that day next year.
jason - 10/17/08 21:26
Tiny, you can just use Feb 14th for any of those days. We had a "Black Tuesday" at Stillwater this year.
tinypliny - 10/17/08 20:26
Hmmmm... is there a most bitter day? The sourest day? The saltiest day? The Habanero day? I totally DEMAND these days. Especially the saltiest Habanero day. So unfair to people who dislike sugar. :/

Death Note II
Category: movies
First of all thanks (e:Imk2) it was a great idea and it was better then going by myself. Yes I do like doing things by myself but something like that the more people the better. It is on at Regal Cinemas tonight also I think. The event in itself is pretty interesting to have people yelling and chanting and stuff. It would be cool to go in costume but I don't have any gear. I did see someone with a death note, and have seen them online for sale someplace. Does anyone know if there are any Anime Stores that sell them and other stuff and only that kind of stuff in Buffalo like in some other cities. Movie wise not sure if I liked it or the 1st one better. I think the first one a lot of it was seeing how the characters came out on screen and how they looked and the voices and little details of how L sits and holds the phone. Now those things we are kinda used to so there isn't there awe it just like the show factor but I thought it was very good and I had a great time.

Religulous (spoiler)
Category: movies
So I went to see the Bil Maher Movie and I did like it. I will be giving some stuff away that is why it says spoiler up there. I liked it, I really did and thought some of his interviews where pretty interesting. Yes it was funny also in some parts. I think what I liked about it also was how it was shot you could tell it was a Documentary when you saw the camera guy filming in a few scenes. Then there was the part where he was at the Park in Orlando I found that very interesting and they shut him down for a bit. I think my favorite part was when he was at the Vatican and he hangs out the window and gets shut down, then that is followed but the best interview of the movie I thought, that guy was awesome, maybe if everyone was more like that guy there wouldn't be a reason for the movie. I like that the movie had Bill's family in it and it was a little bit biographical. That being said what I didn't like was when Bill was with the one Jew who liked the guy from Iran. What I didn't like is that Bill Kept interupting him to ask a question, sometimes you have to let someone finish what they are saying before you ask them something else. That guy sounded like he was going to have a very interesting point. I know it had something to do with the fact that the holy land doesn't belong to the Jews but we won't know since Bill Acted like a baby and walked out. I also didn't like the over the top ending. Yes it is important to know that some one who thinks the world will end, might not be the best person to lead the country, and that thinking that way could be a self fullfilling prophacy. But that doesn't mean that just because some thinks that they can't lead. I admit I'm looking forward to a DVD of this movie for a few reasons. I would like someone to come out with it so that all the interviews we can see all of them with out the editing to make the point he is trying to make what ever it is. I really liked the guy playing Jesus and would like to see all of that. I would also like to see people that they recorded but who maybe didn't sign the release so we could see them blured out (I assume that there where people like this). Plus I bet there is a bunch of other interesting stuff that got cut because of length and since it didn't fit his Agenda. I did like all the gay stuff that gay guy was pretty interesting. I don't think he was really gay, I think he was Bi-sexual and there is a difference or maybe bi-curious not sure. Or who knows maybe the lord really saved him. I know some people here have debated what Bill's point was. I think it is that people where violent before they learned how to reason, so because of that faith is a way to back up those thoughts and it just makes them more violent. I think that also means that people need to set there faith a side and lose the violence before they get it back so that when they do things they are not violent. He also seems to think that if people think the world is going to end then thinking that way will cause them, to make it happen. I did enjoy it and think everyone should go see it, even if you hate it and disagree with most of it, there is some other points of view to see and that alone is interesting.

Costume Ideas
Category: holiday

I doubt I will go but this year there is that huge Halloween Party at the Central Terminal. Not sure who's idea it was to not have it on the day of but I think it was a good idea. That way people with kids can still take them out or go to other parties. I have heard that some people get pretty creative. I guess if you know how to make stuff and have lot of money you can have some great costumes.

October 25th 2008

Some Ideas of mine:
-Nudest: that won't work for me but what if you got a bunch of people and got the bottom of a Hot air balloon and then you could be like in that car ad.
- Ryan Miller: All the clothes and Pads would cost a lot but if you all ready play hockey you might have some of it.
TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL: A) Bring a Net
b) Have a buddy dress as another player trying to score
c) Have a puck in the glove and simulate playing goalie so it look like a glove save

-Dress as a Geisha but have that be the only thing you are wearing Have friends dress up as Japanese Business Men. If you have a talent do it as part of the get up.

-Roller Girls you can go as a real team or make one up the important thing is to have enough people that you can have to teams and you couldn't have a real bout but maybe chase each other around, assuming you all are good enough skaters

-Ninja and Samurai (yes often thought of as kids costumes) The key here is to practice your sword fight before hand so it looks legit.
TAKING IN UP A NOTCH: Making the out fit Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes, TAKE UP ONE HIGHER add some friends as other GI Joe Characters.

-Show up with buddies as a Rock/Metal band say maybe Metallica or DethKlok. TAKING IT UP A NOTCH. Bring a TV and Rock Band Video Game and plug in someplace and play there songs

-Vampire, lot of people can come up with great looking costumes and a great look but if you have a hot female victim that should punch it up a bit

-Comic Book group and if you have enough people the people they fight. Yeah Showing up as say The Fantastic four but where is the Silver Surfer.

-Strippers: Yeah hot naked ladies and guys with money is all ways a great time but bring a pole a little radio of some kind to play songs and take turns

-Anime Group. (I'll admit I looked for some cosplay costume on line but the ones I liked where costly, plus you need hair and make up or a mask) How cool it be to show up a L, Kira, Misa Misa, and then have some tall dude as a shiromagi or people from a show like Bleach, Trinity Blood, Outlaw Star, Cow Boy bebop or any movies or TV show Animee.

-The Slutty costumes. Not really sure how to make all those dark angels and naughty nurses better or just girls in what is basicly underwear. Maybe a group of girls could go as Fredrick's of Hollywood models. Or maybe you could cover everyone in blood and they could look dead and then a big girl could come in covered in blood and she killed all those skinny bitches.

Then of course there is all ways Star Wars or other movie Characters, I think the key here is to have Enemies and do battles with each other or show up en masse as Say Storm Troopers and take over the party then later the good guys show up.

Hey just some crazy idea that I won't do, I'll do something simple and I think I'll get a costume today. Even though it is early hope everyone has a great halloween.

Blew Friday Hard Blindness Review
Category: peterazzi
So Friday wasn't a waste of a day But it sure felt like it was at night. On my way home I go to Rite Aid to get some stuff to drink. That worked out well and as I walk past the drug par there are a few sexy ladies working back there so I keep walking and go to my aisle to get other stuff I need and see tons of condoms to my right. My first thought was to go grab a couple kinds and then up to the girls and ask for help in choosing ones based on what ones they prefer. I didn't of course hey I go in that place a lot and don't feel like getting kicked out. Maybe it is that the College Girls are all over Elmwood or maybe seeing that thing at Diablo but something has really turned up the hormone level. So I go home and then wind up going on line and I see that there is a movie outing. But I would have had to go home shower change and try to get there, I knew that was not happening (hope who ever went had a great time). So then I also read (e:drew)'s post about the save us from your followers and I didn't feel like going in my work clothes so I skipped that. All I really wanted to do was watch all of the Sabres game. I had thought about going to Fahertys to watch the game or going to the party in plaza. I wanted to go the sabres store and check out there new gear.

SABRESTYLE SET TO DEBUT AT HSBC ARENA

This isn't your typical Blue and Gold gear.

But that was the idea in creating SabreStyle.

Set to debut Friday, Oct. 10 at HSBC Arena for the team's season opener, the Buffalo Sabres' new and exclusive clothing line goes beyond sports apparel.


"It looks like something you would buy at the mall," Director of Creative Services, Frank Cravotta. "Our logos are hidden within the graphics so at first glance, it doesn't look like Sabres gear."

Introducing 14 pieces - for men and women - the theme is designed for a young demographic with fashion in mind, "as opposed to the collegiate style you see in the store now," Cravotta said.

The clothes are made of premium-quality, light-weight fabrics and feature tighter fits for long and short-sleeved t-shirts, hats and hooded sweatshirts. The graphics infuse the Sabres logo with some abstract designs.

"We used all of our logos and our identity as a starting point and then just kind of went wild with the graphics," Cravotta said. "The initial reaction has been really positive, not only internally from the employees but also from the players who have been involved."

Forwards Ales Kotalik, Jochen Hecht, Patrick Kaleta and Adam Mair were among those who modeled the look, as well as defenseman Nathan Paetsch.

"I like it," Paetsch said. "It's something you would buy not only to support your team, but just to wear. It's fashionable and something you would actually get at a store.

"It's quite innovative and I'm sure a lot of young people are going to take to it. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it made for a sports team."

Prices are as low as $25 and are available exclusively in the Sabres Store at HSBC Arena . Quantities are limited and are only offered for a short time.

"We're calling it an exclusive line and a limited edition because it really is that," Cravotta said. "It's a short, run and the pieces will only be produced for this year so you're not going to come back in the store next year and get it. Each year we'll update it with the latest fashion and looks."

SabreStyle is also the first of it's kind among major sports teams.

"As far as we know... no one has tried this yet," Cravotta said. "There are some clear and popular styles out there that are not represented in our store and as far as we know, in any team store. It seemed to make sense that we have a popular brand and clear identity and if we can somehow merge the two into fashion that our younger crowd is wearing with our mark and our look, it would make a lot of sense.

"This is a whole new avenue to explore."

The Sabres Store is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. as well as during all Sabres home games. For more information, call (716) 855-4140.


But Part of the problem is I didn't have bateries for my camera so I didn't take it to work so that I could go and then hand out or eat downtown someplace. Plus I'm still waiting for my adult and some other pictures in the mail. So my plan was to just watch the game at home.


The plan started out great I had my Dortios and Bagel Bites, Yummy and some cold drink I was good. The game was tied and I even saw that when the game was over I could Watch Faulty Towers (never seen it only a best of show, John Clease before Monty Phython) then Clone Wars on cartoon network and then Bill Maher. To bad I passed out during the 2nd period but other then that it was a great plan. I did catch Bill this moring before I went to the bank.

On my way to the bank I saw something Near spot. My first thought was did someone spill coffee on them selves. My next thought was I wonder if a biker got hit didn't see a car though, so maybe it was something serious I'm guessing someone homeless needed help cause everyone was sitting around and the firetruck and ambulance where blocking what was going on. Little further down I saw (e:Jim) and (e:James) walking with I assume their dog, thiing looked huge from the bus, hope it was a fun walk. I wasn't sure what movie I was going to see there are a few of them I wanted to. I saw "Blindness" I thought it was good and weird. With out giving anything away it is an epidemic of blindness, but not being able to see but where you see all light. Then as most epidemic movies go there is like a quarentene part. I'm more of an action myself but I also do like movies like this. Yes there is some nice nudity in it, but I also like movies that deal with humanity like this. Yeah some parts of the movie where dark, some where shot normal and then some where almost all white. Sometimes it felt like a movie one would watch on Sundance or IFC. I wonder if it was based on some Asian Horror movie from years ago? If you liked either of the 28 days movies you might like it. I think I may go see that Bill Maher movie on Monday.

I was going to go get a costume at Party City but decided to wait until Monday because a preview I saw gave me an idea for a New Costume. I came home and found one place to get the costume but it was way to much going to do a little bit more searching over the weekend I hope. Here is the movie:

That is right the 2nd Death Note Movie. The previews look pretty awesome. Now I just have to decide if I should go Wens. or Thurs. I'm thinking Thurs. (I wanted to go as a Shirgomi) But it is tough because I know I'm going to be pretty tired all week because at work we will need to do 5 days of work in 4 days. Hope everyone has a great long weekend.

Waving from the bus with closed windows and doors would have been tough On my part also, hope the walk was fun, or productive if there was a reason for the walk other then just to walk.
james - 10/11/08 18:36
Had we known we would have waved Peter.

I need to meet (e:Jim) and (e:James)'s Ben someday. :)
