So yesterday I went to Go see Crank High Voltage. If you liked the crazy style of the first one then you will love this. I was laughing through some of it and closing my eyes to a bit of the gore. But wide awake for all the nudity, sex and violence. Now the idea in the first one was that he gets this drug that is supposed to kill him in an hour and adderline keeps him alive. There is a scene in witch he has sex with Amy Smart that I think won the award for worst sex scene, well that was an amazing scene but sex wise it was crazy, if you saw the first one you know what I mean. From the previews I knew Amy would be in this movie again. I didn't know how she would be in it but it was funny to me how they brought her in, or at least I thought it was. Now in this new movie as shown in the previews he has Heart taken and he is given a replacement one that is made to last like and hour or something (can't say more with out giving away some plot so I won't) so he has to track it down. The premise here is that every so often he need to shock himself or the box to charge it so the heart keeps going. I don't know if the funny parts where written to be funny. I don't know if these movies are kinda a parradoy. I just think they are a different way to look at action movies and I like it. I will admit that things get a little crazy with the camera work but it was like that in the 1st one to. So if you like crazy violence both fighting and guns, naked chicks, a scene where they used pixels (maybe I shouldn't have said) and to laugh go see it, it is a short wild ride. I think if it where 2 hours it would be to much. I was pumped after seeing it and was pumped going right into the bandits game.
Now in Terms of the Bandits they wound up losing in Overtime and the New York Titans won. That made there be a 3 way tie for 1st place and the Titans because of the tie Breakers win the East, The Bandits come in second, and Boston came in 3rd. What that means is May 2nd the Bandits play Boston again in the first round of the playoffs. If the Bandits can win that then I'm not sure if there next game is home or away I assume that if NY wins it would be away and if the #4 team wins they would come to Buffalo But Buffalo has to beat a team they just lost to so lets not get ahead of our selves.
So before the game and the movies and After the movies I took some Buffalo Pictures.
I assume that Boston has some Home Uniforms that look nicer then this but here are pictures of them during Warm ups. Ok Plus a few Bandettes Pictures as well before the game.
Here are some Game shots:
Well there was one odd thing in the game the goalies where big equipment and pads and sometimes they make a save and the ball gets stuck and on one save they couldn't find it so the goalie had to leave the field for a couple of minutes that was very odd. Well I hope everyone had a great weekend and I hope the Bandits win the next time we play Boston.

Crank 2 and some bandits Pictues04/18/2009 13:50 #48432
Price RiteCategory: elmwood
So today I went into Price Rite to buy some food. It was a quick trip just to check the place out. I just wanted to get something to drink and get some frozen stuff. In terms of the frozen stuff the prices seemed very good. The one draw back is I didn't see any of the small sized frozen stuff Like Michellines or what ever it is called. The one thing that is tough to get used to is the buying the bag thing, how do you know how many you need, In my case it wasn't much but oh well. The other thing I didn't like is they only have these big carts. I like a hand basket for a couple of reasons. First of all in a cart you can over buy. For example I need 10 Pot pies not 30 and with a cart you would tend to try and fill it. The other reason why I like the hand thing is that you shouldn't buy more then you can carry. With a shopping cart this is easy to do. With the hand basket once it starts getting heavy you stop. Hopefully soon I will go back and buy more stuff, I want to check out there soups and canned stuff and see what that is like.

As Summer Dies + (3rd Post)Category: concerts
So for those that may not know on Saturday I went to a concert at the Tralf. I think it was an all day thing but I thought the doors opened at 6pm so I got there then and had a great time. I heard some bands I liked and some that where not my thing. It has been so long since I've been to a show with Heavy Music. It Felt pretty good. I'm not a pit guy so I stayed away from the stage. I had a problem in that I never got my ticket, As Summer Dies worked things out for me so that was pretty cool of them, they could have been dicks about it.
The second to last band I heard people yelling get off the stage and stuff. I guess when there are a lot of bands and you are there to see the band you want to see then that might happen. The good side to that is that you get to see a bunch of bands. The down side is they don't get to play that long. All in all it was a good time. I really liked the closing band. Yes I had trouble hearing the vocals but that might have been the way the guys voice is or maybe it is from my ears being blasted or a tech issue not sure. Here is the band that I have no Idea who they are.
I also wanted to see a Band called His Name was Yesterday. I saw them once before and remembered liking them.
The Band that got me to go to the show is As Summer Dies. I can't say what I really like about them. To say I like how the guy sings is true. I also like Angel on base with her awesome hair and Ink plus she spins and stuff you would have to see her in person. I wouldn't know how to say what there sound is but they have some really great songs. Well here they are.
I had a great time and did buy some Merch as well.
I know I'm a bit early but hope everyone has a great weekend.

Bandits Won and Lost (2nd Post)Category: lax
So on Friday I had a good time at the Bandits game. The Bandits won an important game and that all ways makes it better. The down side of that is they lost the next Night in NYC. That means they lost both games to the titans. That makes this final game with Boston very important. No matter what happens the Bandits are in the playoffs. If they Win they get the #1 seed in the east. Hopefully that happens and if that does I think that means we get Home Field for however many games we can win (2) until the championship game. I assume that the two teams who play for that the home field is decided by who has the best record but not sure. Now if the Bandits lose then things get tricky but they at least can become the 2nd place team. So this Saturday night is a big game. Before I get to the game pictures here are some I took before the game and yes some of them will be the Aud again.
Well here are some pictures from the Bandits Vs. the Knightshawks and some Bandettes pictures also.
I should explain that if the Bandits win the game they do this victory lap where they run and some people pound on the glass I have even seen a player jump up and try to high five them, the person was leaning over the glass after either a playoff win or a the championship, buy the way security really frowns on that.

Busy Bisons (1st post)Category: peterazzi
So first of all Sorry (e:strip) yes I have been reading but haven't had time to post. Well there are various reasons. Thursday of last week went to the Bisons game. Then on Friday I went to the Bandits Game. Then On Saturday Night I went to a concert. Then Sunday was Easter. Then in terms of using the internet I have myspace (blogs to read) then there is facebook (that is an addiction sometimes). The thing is linking a story from a site is so easy. It isn't that it is better then (e:strip) because it isn't but news sites are set up where you just push like one button and it shares it on facebook. Then of course I have pictures to upload and also to upload on to webshots. Not to mention I have TV shows I watch. Shows like Terminator, 24, and Dollhouse all have message boards I'm a part of. Plus there is the fact that I can't really do any of that stuff from work so I haven't had that much time really.
So on Thursday I went to Opening day and the bisons lost but I had a good time. Since I had the day off I thought I would take some pictures from the top of city hall, not sure how many I'm going to post but here are some of them at least.
Yes I did put up a couple pictures of the Aud coming down and Coca-Cola field. I think I wrote a blog about how things changed or changes or something like that last week (Hey I liked it at least). Here are a few pictures from the park not any sports ones though that in that case might be kinda dull.

Thanks (e:tinypliny) What I can't imagine really is someone going up there with like a zoom lens, I mean like a higher grade camera like that a pro would use and with the big zoom or maybe even middle sized ones, I wish I could have gotten a Picture that shows the wind things better but my zoom isn't good enough, or to zoom in on a church from above.
I forgot to answer (e:Paul)'s question, I kinda doubt you can, I think the building has to be public. Another Idea I had but I don't have a car is to park at like a parking place and take pictures. I don't think I would have the money but I think staying at that new Embessy suites as high up as possible with a window might make some interesting pictures also but it is hard to know.

For those of you who liked the pictures thank you. Hopefully I will take a few more Downtown Pictures today and some of what ever state The Aud is in.

Great pics. I always wonder if you are allowed to go up in the HSBC tower to take pics? On the other hand I know some companies shoot microwave beams up there that are then re-beamed to other locations as a way of internet communication, so maybe you would get fried.
On another note there used to be that bookmarklet thing called booky on estrip that let you click it and add some other story to your journal. I should look and see what I did with that. It might be useful for you.

Nice pics. I like the ones of ECC. Those nachos make me hungry

well I think that is why in the sex scene you have the pixals but maybe that was just a joke, in that same scene you see some horse cock and Amy's character is so checking it out as it jumps over them having sex. I didn't see the latest transporter movie but they had a joke about the guy in this movie looking like him. It isn't everyone cup of tea but some people might like this crazy style movie. I
Crank (1st one) was ok, but I find Jason Statham movies terribly predictable (Transporter(s), Bank Job, etc). I think a second Crank will spoil anything redeeming from the first one, but that's just my opinion, of course.
Maybe if he was naked...
