So last night was (e:beast)'s last day in B-lo before going back to Scotland. (e:Me) and (e:libertad) were supposed to go pick her up at her local riverside neighboorhood bar Sensations by Riverside Park where her family hangs out. Her husband who already went back to Scottland thinks it is the best place ever and teres raves about in a its not classy but fun kinda way but I never felt like I would be comfortable there. Well we are suppsed to just pick her up but her dad is like no you guys have to park and come in for one drink. Needless to say we stayed for like 10 drinks made by faboulous bartenders named Squeaky and Cat. Ironically squeaky has like 20 cats but cat does not. They are so entertaining. We heard all about how cat is really a cougar (haha how appropriate) and about the 26 year old guy that came in and made her cream her pants the other night. And how she pretends her knife is lube to ward off rapists. It all was much funnier in person. The rest of the patrons were a few older men prolly around teres's dads age. It was actually really fun and unlike anything i have been around before! I don't know that i would feel comfortable going there without teres though. Riverside is a whole nother world in some ways. ANywho so we were supposed to pick up teres and come back to dave's to make dinenr. BUt like 10 drinks and some shots of crown later i was not about to drive to dave's past the millions of cops at the riverside carnival as the patrons at Sensationz warned me.

So we deiceded to bring the food which was in the car cuz we bought it on the way and just go to (e:beast)'s parents house like a block away and cook it up. (e:libertad) did a great job considering there wasn't a lot of light in the backyard and he didn't have half the ingredients he planned to use. He improvised and it came out delish. We were able to finsih cooking just in time to run to the fireworks at riverside park with our food. It was perfect. Though the riverside fireworks are a little less than stellar esp. after seeing Kenmore Days so recently and having their fabulosity stuck in my brain!!! Anywho it was a fun, unexpected night. It was different and entertaining and fuN! i recommend giving riverside a try sometimes for something a little different, a little laid back a littel fun a little stuck in atime when people wore a lot of full denim outfits!

So on saturday I went to zoar valley with (e:libertad), (e:paul), (e:terry), (e:matthew) and (e:james) and had a good time all in all despite i have a general hatred of nature and walmart and I had to be around both. But rafting was super fuN! Anywho so I realized how bad i eat when here is what i had for the day

Breakfast: skipped it
Lunch: cheese sandwich with mustard
Hiking Snacks: lots and lots of cheetos and some mike's hard lemonade

Here's where it gets worse
Dinner: chicken club and french fries from wendys
Kenmore Days Fireworks Snack: french fries with nacho cheese and bacon
After Going out to Frizzys 4 am snack: french fries with blue cheese

Yup the majority of my food on saturday was french fries and the various accompnaying cheeses! I LOVED IT!

Just decided to google mike visco and the third result is (e:paul)'s journal about mine and (e:terry)'s birthday one year which includes a video of me reading dramatically from a porn magazine. And that my friends is why i think i could never become a teacher .

I decided to buy my credit score from myfico.com today and was quite impressed with it. I mean i have never really had any strife in my life and so i have never had to go into debt so that helped a lot. I am also really quite anal about paying everything on time and not having balances. I also just got my interest rate reduced by a percent on my student loans for paying on time for like 5 years in a row or something which was exciting. My dad also made me get a credit card at like 17 to start building credit which I think was a good thing cuz they say longevity counts. So if only i had any money now would be the time to buy a house and get a good mortgage rate right? cuz who knows what will happen to my score in the future!

So me and (e:Mk) were in Target the other day before we went to see the Hangover (which was hilar by the way). ANyway so i used to collect these little Miss and Mr books which never really took off here but were bigger in europe. ANywho they are starting to take off here and have like a tv show and toys and stuff now. And thye had this Miss Chatterbox that when you press her special spot she talked. But the weird part was she talked in French so we read the whole box which was all in english and it said nothing about French and all the other ones spoke in english. It must have been totally a mistake liek that was supposed to go down the conveyor belt to the France box but ended up in the Buffalo Target box by mistake. It was more entertaining than it sounds now that I am writ5ing this. But it was relaly strange!
