Gabe Mayer of Buffalo
Category: web
Hey Gabe Mayer,
You don't know me and I don't have contact info for you but I bought the house you used to live in on Linwood and now someone is looking for you. I figure maybe you will google yourself sometime and see this.

The person sent the following message:

Please call 716-397-4265 when you can. Trying to find Gabe Mayer. He designed a website for my company but can't get through to him. Any info would be great



Maybe this will help you two find each other.

I wonder if you will sell your home to another web designer?

Hopefully, he/she will be one that can be found on google .

Is this even snow anymore?

What gives these chunky black mounds such great stability?

Apparently ice starts to get real strong and less melty when you mix it with the right kind of stuff.

It being Ice. I have seen Ice defy gravity before and it is pretty amazing what it can do.

I officially love my kitchenaid

The first thing I am made is coconut meringue cookies. I know it's
lazy but I really enjoy "just press" mixing. It sure beats the hand
crank mixer I have been using the last ten years.

I so hate you. I want one of those so bad.
metalpeter - 01/25/10 18:35
Those sound Very good, I've had those many times but don't think I have had flavored ones.
pyrcedgrrl - 01/25/10 16:40
Oooh! You finally got one!! Congrats! I love my (incredibly gorgeous bright RED) Kitchenaid mixer, but don't use it nearly enough!!
james - 01/24/10 22:45
I was astounded this summer when you made whipped cream by hand this summer. You are going to be swimming in whipped creamy goodness from now on.
heidi - 01/24/10 21:01
Congrats, Paul! I'm terribly jealous.

Trip to Times Beach
Category: hiking
We went to Times Beach this afternoon and spent time in the sun. I even took off my shirt for a while to maximize vitamin D production. The ice was still pretty thick, I walked out pretty far till I heard that scary cracking - the titanic hit an iceberg - noise and headed back in. It didn't stop me from skating around off shore for a bit which was so great in the sun. It made the very top very wet and slippery.

Tonight we are off to dinner with Robert and James. What a busy weekend.
metalpeter - 01/23/10 20:20
You are way braver or would that be foolish then I am glad you got back safe and got pictures of it. Maybe next weekend before the bandits game I'll go down and get pictures of the ice, but I won't go out on, but I doubt that will happen who knows. At least you tan in the winter the safe way as opposed to going to a tanning place, ha.
libertad - 01/23/10 18:37
What a great idea for today. I can't believe you went out on that ice! I like the pics, especially the one of terry.

The best birthday ever
Category: holidays
The massage at The massage Studio on Allen was awesome. I never had anyone massage by butt or feet before, it was great. No, I know what you are thinking, but there was no happy ending.

Then I got lots of choxie, plus the entire O.C. series on DVD plus bonus material. Maybe (e:mike) will watch it with me.

Then, I got a new albino pet bird. I love it. I am going to name it albini.

Then we went to one of the nicest dinners I have had at Rue Franklin . We were one of the first people to arrive. By the time we left it was packed. I had squab (Roast squab with Belgian endive, raisins, pinenuts and cardamom. Served medium-rare ) which is basically a baby pigeon

image

The weird part is that is was borderline raw but on purpose. I actually thought it tasted pretty great - I would get it again. I hope they are raised on a farm and not wild. Apparently, I like the taste of raw pigeon.

So the funniest part was about halfway through the meal in comes an 80 year old guy and his wife/companion who looked about 50. She had breasts bigger than lola ferrari. I know I exaggerate all the time but this was so for real. Everyone in the restaurant was staring at her. I wonder what that must feel like. They were literally larger than basketballs approaching beach balls. Basically just like this:

When we got home (e:terry) and (e:matthew) gave me a bigger box of choxie chocolates and one of the best gifts of all, the gift that keeps on giving - a kitchenaid icecream maker attachment for the new kitchenaid mixer I got from my parents.

Happy Birthday!
metalpeter - 01/23/10 20:25
I can admit I had no Idea you like The OC that was a show I watched every week no mater what season it was, to bad it went off the air.

In terms of the boob thing I have no idea. What I can say is that women can choose to wear things that kinda hide them or to make them out in the open and push ups and togethers and padding and stuff to make them look fuller. So I'm guessing that if she was showing them off she likes the attention.

Glad you had a great birthday.
jenks - 01/23/10 16:13
sounds like an awesome bday! And I think the best part is that your gifts show that people really know you and put thought into what you would like.
libertad - 01/23/10 02:27
i will totally watch it with you...this is mike
