11. Temperature. It's ALL about the temperature for me. I should have been an arthropod.

International Bike Ride
Category: bikes
(e:janelle) ran hard today, and embarrassed me off the couch, so I jumped on my bike. In addition to grabbing my helmet (a new habit), I also grabbed my passport. There is a nice bike path on the other side of the Niagara River, and along Lake Erie. It's a great ride.

One warning though--the ride from Canada to the USA is uphill, so be prepared for hard work going home.

I took some pics. I may post them later or maybe even make a movie.

Did you go to the Falls? I have been intending on making that trip for a few months now. Can't wait!
dcoffee - 05/25/09 21:06
that sounds like fun. I'll have to try that! I love exploring by bike.

I have been wanting to do that ride. Everytime I think of it I have to work later that day. I would rather not be stuck at the border when I need to be transporting sushi.

Cool, I look forward to seeing them

I feel dirty
Because I have posted more on Buffalo Rising than here. Please forgive me.

Tonight I am hosting a back yard movie party. Guess where we will be watching Religulous?



yeah. My back yard. I think we are going to have a fire, too, so it should be fun.

Quick Review and Thanks
Category: food
I haven't been posting much, and shouldn't be posting now--I'm kinda busy. But (e:heidi) shared her Shango gift certificate that she couldn't use, so (e:janelle) and I used it last night.

Shango was good. We just had drinks and apps. I had what the tap said was a Flying Bison Maibock, but seemed to be something different. It was still tasty, so no complaints. Sweet Potato fries were amazing, the quesadillas were, too.

It was way better than last week when we went to La Docle Vita. Overcrowded, loud, and bad service. I sent a feedback email and they didn't respond. Oh yeah, and the website is ugly and noisy

So, next time you go out, choose Shango over La Dolce Vita. And if you can, have (e:Heidi) share a gift to pay for it! (THANKS AGAIN!)

I love shango bistro. It is my favorite brunch in Buffalo. Although left bank is a close second. Great wine and beer list too.

Funny Video
Category: humor
When you make a funny movie look like a not funny movie, it is funny.




tinypliny - 05/13/09 07:54
I have to agree with (e:Metalpeter). This was too long for a trailer. The general concept is fun though like Shining as a romantic comedy :::link:::
metalpeter - 05/11/09 19:41
I will admit I didn't find this video funny at all. That being said what you said is true though. What makes movies like Naked Gun funny is how they play everything so serious and not like it is funny. Some of those movies that make fun of other movies aren't funny because they act them as if they are funny and that kinda ruins it. To bad that Serious Voice over guy is dead he could have added something more dramatic to this or maybe the guy who does the voice of Optimus Prime or even Christopher Lee.

Brilliant.

I bet you can do the same thing with any movie where much of the comedy is delivered deadpan.
