Goodbye Bea, We Will Miss You Forever!
So Bea Arthur passed away today, i loved her. it is odd cuz i was gonna wear my golden girls tshirt today and then decided not to and then i found out she was dead and regretted not paying that tribute today. In her memory I am gonna repost my favorite golden girl's bea moment of all time, when rose took her to Mr. Haha for her b=day. It truly shows all the great sides of Bea Arthur

17 Again!
So i celebrated earth day by driving to work on my 23 second commute, driving home on my lunch and then goin gto the movies tonight with (e:jil) land eating popcorn out of a paper tub and drinking pop out of a huge jug! Hooray for the environment! Anywho we went to see 17 Again, and wow it was a really good movie. i know you think lame-o flick but no it was really good. of course it is totally tailored to me and so of course I would love it but it was really funny and good. And it had cheering sequences which i love. The only sad part was when we realized we are exactly like half way between the highschoolers and the adult who turns 17 again! Ugh! That made me feel old! Me and (e:jill) are debating when it is no longer ok to go to these types of movies, but we think we still have a few years.

Oh the other really sad part of it is to tihnk Zack Effron can turn into Matthew Perry. At the end when he turns back it is just a slap in the face of reality. If Zac Effron turns into matthew perry twenty years after highgschool, what the frig do i become? A blob?

Ok that's all for now, oh and me and (e:jill) are thinking of getting friendship bracelets that have like half the heart on each person's? Weird? Or too cool/chic? We are gonna get cool ones , not lame ones, maybe no heart maybe just an engraved message! Possibly we need to get a life

I wish I wasn't so friggin busy and I could go see movies with you. :( I don't even think you've asked me in like months because I will always say no. GRRRRR :( Also, I think friendship bracelets are sweet, but friendship tattoos are the way to go.
tinypliny - 04/23/09 13:15
Yes, you do become a blob.




Kidding! ;-)

And btw, quite strangely our tastes in movies run very similar. I absolutely adore cheering sequences, dress montages and chase/escape/slick running away sequences and bizzarre imaginary dramatic elements as well. (You didn't admit to the last two thing, but I do.) Those particular preferences mean I see a lot of "teenage/cheerleader/without-a-cause" movies. I am not sure why you care about what you "should be" seeing anyway. I couldn't care less about who others in the hall are. I make sure I laugh like crazy, hoot and cheer everything I see. :) I really need to see this 17 again movie.

Oh, and I recommend The Fall. (around 10000X++ times) It has a lot of bizarre imaginary dramatic elements.
lilho - 04/23/09 01:20
i am personally all for the friendship bracelets. and where is the "my bitches" book? betch!

Oh Toronto ..the things you will see
I will write more about my trip later but the main thing is I learned my lesson. If you are in a shadyish area, think hey look at that bar with the dark doors and up the stairs entrance, and really really just wanna drink and there are no bars around and a drag queen outside gives you a "you sure you want to go in there, you are not in Kansas anymore" look then

a. read the warning sign instead of being like eh what can it say
and
b. DO NOT GO IN

Needless to say we saw some things in Toronot I never would think i'd see with (e:jill) and (e:mk) or in public at all for that matter for a brief moment. I guess thats what we get for going in a bar called Goodhandys. I will tel lmore about all this later...
mk - 04/23/09 22:02
I think this story must be told, and soon. It's too good. Too good. It's too bad I'm oblivious.
metalpeter - 04/20/09 18:34
This is one of the stories that I want to hear now because I don't know what happened but I wonder How I will feel after it. I also wonder, there was a certain show that filmed in Toronto and crazy stuff would go on in some of those scenes, I wonder if they just filmed the cast in one of those kinds of places, HA.
theli - 04/20/09 11:38
Har. Good times.
hodown - 04/20/09 09:33
I need to hear this story!
tinypliny - 04/20/09 08:43
Hear. not Here. I would love to hear about it here though.
tinypliny - 04/20/09 08:42
Goodhandys? Shouldn't that give you a clue? I can't wait to here about this!
james - 04/20/09 08:13
That is such an awesome story. Post details and photos!

We plan on lot of shopping and more shopping and more shopping and people watcihng and partying saturday night somewhere bu tnot sure where yet, (we'll just look for cool looking people and follow them wehre they go haha)! And then a stop at IKEA on the way back! I am so excited!!! I'll miss (e:libertad) for the weekend though as we mostly just hang out on weekends! I just read it cost 69 cents a minute to call from canada on my cell phone , that is crazy amounts ! AHH I am so excited for toronto! P.S. I love driving on the QEW cuz you can drive so fast , i remember on my old car, well my frist car as now i have had 4 old cars i guess, it was a ford taurus and it only went up to 80mp on the sppedometer and we were going to Toronto and it was like shaking so violently and hovering past the 80, i tought it would explode for sure but it did not! Ok see ya all next week!
metalpeter - 04/18/09 12:46
Hope everyone who is going to Toronto Has a good time, for what ever reason they are going. Hopefully (e:mike) and (e:libertad) 69ing gets a lot of dirty post it notes. Been some time since I've been to TO I doubt I'll make it up there this year.
vincent - 04/18/09 11:12
Funny I'm going up there today myself. You have to love the NASCAR type of driving, especially with someone on your bumper going 85mph...
jenks - 04/18/09 01:07
ooh lib, you should definitely get some naughty post-its for that!! ;)
libertad - 04/17/09 22:57

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!
libertad - 04/14/09 20:50
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.
