My Dyngus Day Good Deed
So last night me and the gang were going out for dyngus day and we tried to go to this place by the Broadway Market but the line was way too long to wait in I guess ....anywho.....we are drving and one of the PussyWillow busses (they were driving people from bar to bar) is turing by St. Stanislaus church and totally whacks this parked car on the side of the street and totally damages the side of it and ruins the mirror and stuff. So having myself known how lucky you are to have witnesses when you ar enot there and your car gets wrecked (ie my totaled drunk driver mitsubishi) I wrote down the liscense plate number of the bus and my name and phone number and left it in the windshield. Oh i forgot the best part between the bus and me was a cop car who clearly saw the bus smash into the car bu tthe cop , like the bus just drove away! Oh those are buffalo's finest right there for ya! I'm glad there always looking out for us! ANywho, so then of course i run over a like bucket of beer bottles but luckily my tires did not get cut. So anwho this is all the set up still.....

so my phone dies last night, i oculdn't find the cord when i got home to hcarge it so i found it this morning and left my phone at home while I was at work all day....so then i got two calls from the person whose car was hit....they were under the impression I hit there car and thanked me for leaving the note and left me their office number.....It turns out the person whose car it is is the Mayor of fthe City of Tonanwanda...ok maybe that doesn't seem super exciting but it is kinda neat, like i helped the mayor. I feel like it never hurts to have helped someone in a high place. That's my interesting story for today folks!

You guess the line was too long to wait in? You are crazy. It was clearly too long to wait in. We would have been standing outside forever to get into a place that probably was way too crowded anyways.

Anyways, glad you have your good deed in.

HappyEaster
Happy easter everyone! I love easter, we have polish food which we would never have otherwise and is yummalicious. And as per (e:pauls) comment on hodown's journal I most certainly still have to search for my easter basket!!!!! How oculd I not? Though the hiding gets a little more lax every year, like it was just on the floor behind the ocmputer today, not so supersleuthy! I love chocolate at easter like the Merkel eggs they are the best !!!!!

Spot Desserts
I have to say it. I just about never am satisfied with desserts from Spot Coffee and never have been. Ok the one thing i kinda like is the smore thing but otherwise there is always something off about them. Me, (e:paul) and (e:libertad) went to the Delaware spot last night which I hadn't been to in forever, which reminds me does anyone know when the elmwood spot opened because I remember always going to the Delaware Spot when I was younger and can't imagine why if there was an elmwood one, was there not one? I really can't remember at all , and I can't remember when we switched over to the elmwood one. Anywho, so i got like this chocolate , strawberry dream cake and it was no dream, It was like ok plain chocolate cake , no like under average chocolate cake I don't want to even call it ok, and like ok whipped cream. Their chocolate chiop cookies have on more than one occassion tasted like sausage ( i am no tthe only person who thinks this, ask (e:jill) or (e:mk)). So overall, i like spot but its desserts are better left in the case! I always want to like them and so i order them but i am always left bitterly dissappointed!

so go on over to Chocolate Bar :)

I get their scones - that is about it. If I want biscotti I'll go to Dolci. I haven't had one of those pieces of cake in 5 years.
mk - 04/06/09 21:40
Totally agree. I did enjoy their giant Rice Krispies treats though. But that's hard to ruin. I always wanted the cookies to be good but they just weren't. :(
jessbob - 04/06/09 20:20
That is dead on - always disappointing
theecarey - 04/06/09 15:15
I never thought they were ever good- they look yummy, then they taste mediocre. Sometimes I still go for a cookie, though.

mrmike - 04/06/09 08:29
They look so good in the case, and have always been a little wanting. I steer clear, but at the other end of the spectrum our namesake sandwich the Mike, always gets the day rolling right.
tinypliny - 04/06/09 07:41
Thanks for the warning. I always look at those desserts and after I leave, I often wonder if I made a mistake by not getting them with my very rare coffee there (I like their Java coffee shake). I needn't wonder any more!! :D

Possible New Job
So i have the possibility of a new job prospect which while it is not my dream job by any stretch would be a step up from what i am doing now. The really bad part though is that i am totally screwing over my current work if i start when my new job will possibly start. I hate to say it but i really basically run that place and they could not replace me in the next two years! I mean weeks, but prolly even in 2 years they could not replace me. I originally thought the new job was gonna be 330 til midnight so i could work my old job some mornings but now that is not the case and it is 10-630 which leaves me no time for my old job really. So i don't have the new job for sure yet but I think i probably will get it. We'll see. the ohter bad thing is we have a trip planned to (e:libertad)'s mom in florida in july and they have a no days off for 3 months policy so I have to talk to them about that b/c like I already have my ticket and dave has his vaca then and stuff and it would be almost at the end fo the 3 month period. So we'll see, wish me luck.
tinypliny - 04/06/09 07:42
Good luck!! Don't feel sorry about a better opportunity. Take it and keep moving!
james - 03/29/09 22:39
Congrats! Don't worry about screwing over your old job. You are irreplaceable, but if they can't get someone who can at least try then that is their problem.

Not At Marcellas
Why aren't there performances at Marcella's like tihs with back up dancers and what not..that would be fun. Though Marcellas' performances do occasionally involve a full sub being flung aroudn with lettuce everywhere which is fun too........Here's a little something from my 2 favorite RuPaul drag race contestants..









she even has a music video

tinypliny - 03/26/09 19:33
