Now it's blockaded with concrete
Category: buffalo
This building near Allen and Main that I have been writing about just keeps collapsing. The previous posts were (e:paul,40420), (e:paul,40565), (e:paul,47704)

They finally put up a real blockade as people kept walking in front of it, which I am imagine was extremely dangerous.

I wonder if it's going to be rehabbed or demolished. Honestly, at this point I don't care either way so long as it's dealt with. I mean seriously , how long can it stay like this. I mean I live the facade but I think it's ridiculous to let it just collapse into the street.

On another note, my bosses boss announced she is leaving. I hope the
new person is awesome.

Yeah - I wanted to ask you about it but forget. Did she resign for a purpose or just decided to up and leave?!!

Courtside Eviction
Category: housing
So we are at court today to evict one of our tenants who doesn't live
there anymore and hasn't paid rent in months. The thing is she left
lots of stuff in the apartment and you can't just remove it without an
eviction proceding. If she actually shows up i might end up on court
for something else, lol. It's not just inconvenient, it costs money
to evict someone. The thing is if this ever happens again it is no
longer a mystery process and I will jump on it sooner. For example
with our new tenants that have not paid march rent yet - what the fuck!

So our sheet says the court case is at 9am but now that we got here
the courtoom we in in actually says the court opens at 9:30. Thanks
city of buffalo?

The real problem is that at 8:30 we put one dollar in the new style
parking meter. But now, because it's just a printed receipt instead
of a meter, there is no way to add time until later. I find that
super frustrating. You should be able to feed you old receipt in and
add money.

Eviction be damed... that picture is worth a million bucks...

If you're not busy Sunday night we should hang. I'm getting Drupalized proper right now.

Hmm - so in this sense was Saddam Hussein 'evicted?' LOL!
paul - 03/05/09 09:53
Okay, seriously it's almost 10am, everyone is sitting in the court and the judge hasn't even shown up yet. Sidenote: for anyone getting evicted, they have free legal service for you. Our tenant hasn't even shown up. Maybe I should just file a missing persons report.

ugh, murder should be a legally acceptable form of eviction.

OMFG - DJ Andy C in Toronto 03/29/09
Category: dancing
Destiny is throwing a party at Circa on March 29th. For once all the stars line up. A huge club, my favorite DJ - Andy C , a night I can go. I bought myself a ticket and one for (e:terry). I am so freakin excited. Also on the lineup Mystical Influence. I freaking can't wait it is going to be so awesome.

On these recordings you cannot hear the massive bass which is the most amazing part. You know those cars that hum with bass, this is like that x 10,000. The bass actualy shakes your body. Its such a great feeling.

My love of TV commercial music
Category: music
It all started with Ingrid Michaelson's old navy commercial (e:paul,41443)

Then I heard this JC Penny song the other day

The Stony Rebels - Unbelievable


But the real winner was OMG "Oh My God" by Ida Maria that plays for the intro to the Gossip Girl Commercial.

Here is their site:
The wikipedia article:
Last FM:

I searched for so long before finding it. Okay for like 5 minutes but thats a lot for me. These one have seem to have potential. I love bands that have a lot of recordings on youtube. I also love their unpolished sound. It reminds me of my most favorite singer Kimya Dawson.



This is the more polished official video




This video, I live you so much better when you are naked is so inspired by Nina Hagen.
