So The last time I saw a Robin Hood Movie was most likely the one with Kevin Costner, bye the way what ever happened to him. That was so long ago I can't compare the two. Other then to say if you have seen the ads you may know that this movie is about how Robin Hood becomes Robin Hood. Yes Russell crowe does remind me of this south park episode where he goes from town to town beating everyone one up. Over all I think it was a pretty good movie. They stayed true to it, like they didn't over do the gore or do the artistic blood or anything like that. The only thing that I found odd was and maybe this was just me. The Music and the battle sounds where louder then the talking. It did seem like a battle movie to me, and I liked it.
On Cable I tried to watch The Grilfriend Experance . It stars Sasha Grey, yes the porn star. I can't rate it cause I was to tired to stay awake for it all. It took the form of a narative or kinda a documentary with out being one.
On Pay Per View I ordered Daybreakers. It is a Vampire Movie where Humans are the blood source and they are running out. I thought it was good but thought it would be more something some how, but still enjoyed it.
When I first saw the Hangover I thought it was funny. But I didn't get why everyone thought it was so funny. This changed when I watched it on HBO. Yes the 2nd time I thought it was much funnier.

Wish #5 Loved rides and flightCategory: wishes
Amusement Parks have never really been my thing. Don't get me wrong there are somethings I do like about them like Bumper Boats, water slides and that one water ride that you get soaked on. But for the most part I don't like rides.
Part of it is I'm down to earth and like to keep my feet on the floor. But also there is that trust thing. Like does some kid who is doing this for a little spending money during the summer really going to notice if something is wrong with the ride, but that isn't what I'm supposed to be writing about.
I wish I could enjoy the spinning rides. Some of them look so fun. I thin so I get tossed pretty good. My stomach just can't take it. That is the same problem or at least pretty close with flume rides and roller coasters. Do they look fun, yeah of course but for other people. Some of the old ones look so shaky. I wish that I could go on the ones where you hang on by you arms and you go backwards and upside down and your feet dangle over water and all the different kinds they make, but it just isn't me.
Those same kind of feelings go onto other things as well. Is it parasailing where they pull you behind a boat? Looks fun but no way am I doing that. Bungee Jumping in all sorts looks so much fun. But I can't even handle going off the High Diving board, man that huge one at shirkston looked like a blast when I was little, but no fucking way you gotta be insane. I know it can be very dangerous but cliff jumping looks fun to, but not for me. flying through the air looks like so much fun and I wish I could do it but I just can't. Oh yeah how about the Luchadore style in wrestling that looks fun to climb up on something and do a flip and land on someone. But once i go upside down I can't find where my feet are so that is out, wish I could do skiing freestyle but I can't.
Well I guess that is all I can say about that.

Food Shopping So there are many different ways to shop for food. Some people get meat packages from meat places. Some people shop at multiple places in the same day to get their food. I do the getting what is on sale thing. I hardly ever use coupons. 1st you have to get them. 2nd with the savings often times the knock offs are still cheaper.
Price Rite:
It is great for when I'm out of food. It is also great when I buy certain things I like there like frozen pies and such. Well not to mention that they are close. But often times they lack selection. What I mean is that they have a brand of food but don't have all the different verities with in that food.
Tops:
Yes I admit I like them. I go there when stuff I like is on sale. I also like the lay out of the store. I also like the layout of the ads. It also helps that they sell my bus passes. I used to pay bills there. Plus they sell tickets there.
Wegmans:
I do admit that their layout is kinda goofy. What is all that stuff in the middle of the store. But what I like is that to get to the frozen section you don't have to go down isles you just go to that end of the store. I love the beer wall they have in the back that is so nice and I don't like beer. They are over all so much nicer then tops and that is nothing bad about tops.
They also have stuff tops doesn't.
Thought you might enjoy some pictures. It isn't like I did an entire study or anything just my take on the places quickly.

It seems odd that they wouldn't use english. I get it if they are anti-american. But you I would think that there are so many people who if they don't speak it at least have it as a second Language do to The British ruling so many places in the past. There was a part of me that just wanted to get one of everything and try all that candy.

I did enjoy that actually! Rory and I always comment how much we enjoy just walking through a grocery store in the US because there are so many choices - compared to here. I think I've learned most of my French trying to buy food here, because they seem to list every language but English on their packages :)

Yeah Peter, it's a local product, you should try it out sometime. Glass bottles even.

I have never tried it, is that the one that is local from around here or is it national? The reason I ask is there is compay with Ryan in its name that makes a logenberry (Mighty Taco Has it) that is really good. There is a difference between Real sugar and Sugarcane Sugar but I have no idea what it is........

Mexican coke is good, but honestly the best cola I think is Johnnie Ryan's. Just awesome. I don't say that about soda usually.

You make a good point.
1. The Fruit and Veggies I don't hit those up. I should but..... I like them but don't buy them. I could eat an entire thing of Strawberries and Blueberries and Raspberries with out a problem, I can't imagine what it would do to my insides though.
2. Also wanted to mention I haven't bought meat anyplace in a long time.
A. Stopped making Chili and not sure why
b. Don't have a place to fry burgers
C. Cold cuts are good but the bread all ways go bad (plus how fresh is the stuff?)
3. I won't buy milk. Here is the reasons:
A. It has to be very cold otherwise it doesn't taste right, almost so cold it hurts your teeth.
B. It goes bad so quickly if you forget a day it can go bad like that
c. I forget to buy the flavored stuff
I also wanted to mention that all that candy looks so good, even though I have no idea what most of it is, Am I brave enough to try stuff, like what is ginger candy. That being said I love how Death Note (animated and the movies I have seen with some (e:peeps)) Makes the candy look, I would love to try that.

Iron Man 2Category: movies
I really liked IronMan 2. It had Scarlet Johansen Oh my she is a bad ass in this movie. It is nice to see her in this type of role. I think Mickey Rouke is great as the bad guy he really is. Lots of action and story and then some funny parts to. Stay through the end credits it sets up another movie like the 1st one did, in other words the ending is after the credits. I can admit I never did read Iron Man as a comic but think the movies are great. Hoping this will spawn people to go out and buy the old comics and catch that verison of the story. If what I have heard is correct at some point their will be an avengers movie or series of movies I should say. I mean the super heros not the British spys (never watched the show or seen the movie based on them).

Buffalo Sat #3Category: elmwood
I did have a good time on my short adventure on Saturday. So back to where I left off I guess. I just wish it was bright out I think it would have made the pictures "Pop" more and would upped the fun level a bit also. But I did run into 4 people I know so that was interesting and I did get to see the Carvings for a cause with out freezing my hands but forgot to go see the one I saw at Grover in the Paper.
I think there has to be something those towers can be used for, yeah I know that aren't as cool looking as like towers in europe but they are pretty nice and it should be used I think.
In Terms of Pano's the pictures below I'm not sure if they really show the point I want to make. (e:MrMike) wrote about how he wants to or is going to add a patio. Now adding one I think is silly. If you look at the grass it doesn't look like there would be much room really. But the other thing is you see those panels they slide open so you have a covered patio when it is nice. Not to mention that would have to be open anyways how would the wait staff get to the patio other wise. Also I have never been to the thirsty Buffalo but their side area looks like a lot of fun.
That day was odd I had a visual or flashback kinda of when that shoefly tent took out (e:Vincent) man that was crazy.
Well that Saturday was interesting we shall see what happens this Sat. I would really like to see Snapcase that show really snuck up on me we shall see then Sunday is Mothers day of course.

They re-did that house shortly after I moved on that street...so 2006. The garden came after; you're probably on target with your guess.

It is on Bryant about a block from Elmwood heading towards Richmond it is on the opposite Corner from Aroma or what Ever the Italian Place is called. I don't know the entire History of that little house but what I do know is that on that Corner their used to be a commuity Garden. So I assume at one time there was a house there. I really don't remember. I guessing a few Years ago is when they started or maybe finished that little house there. I have no idea if someone bought the land or how that all works. I can't remember if (e:ladycroft) lived on that street when the garden was there or if it was the house. The reason I mention that is she may have more info on it then I would based on when it went up (niether of her roomates post here any more so......)
Just wanted to add one other thing about the place across the conrner. It used to be Called Taste of Italy or something like that. Before it closed or got bought or what ever I went once and didn't like it. It wasn't that the food wasn't good. It was one of those fancy places with fancy stuff I don't like, what no plain noodles with plain sauce, what no simple Alfrado sauce, argh. Haven't tried the new place though.......

metalpeter - 05/07/10 16:39
Glad you liked the Photos. There is one thing that I don't know if I was clear on I only walked one way. What I mean is a caught a bus down to The area around Hoyt Lake and then walked back towrds my house. On the way down those front sliding panel doors at Pano's where open well at least a little bit open.

That is great. But What I think found funnier this time is that the next dude goes in and checks. Hey I love tigers But there is no way I'm going into that bathroom. I also found it funny how at first (zAch's charater) looks at it and just pisses on the floor like nothing is wrong then freaks out. I'm not sure why it was better the 2nd time (I wasn't under the influnce of anything either time so).......
i love when they find the tiger in the bathroom!
