So I'm in charge of making the bulletin board at work each month and usually I love doing it but we've been so busy at work and stuff that I haven't had time to do it and it is already November 4th! So yesterday I decided, I know , I will make everyone in my department make hand turkeys and that will fill up the majority of the board. I brought in tons of glitter glue and crayons and markers and everyone made a hand turkey. I think it was a much needed morale booster and everyone enjoyed doing it! And plus that will fill up a lot of my bulletin board. I think my calling mihgt have been kindergarden art teacher because it was really fun!

What? I kinda thought since (e:paul) was going as Jesus it would be like a loan cloth or like a fancy napkin and then a long hair wig..... Not sure if you want to call me the devil a Banker a stock broker or just the one percent kinda a devils Mask.. Somehow i think you will pull it together some how...

Old VideosSo I started watching some old videos on my camcorder from prolly around 2002-2008 maybe , not sure of exact times but some are pretty great. A lot are just stupid me , (e:jill), (e:mk) and others being ridiculous and also a lot from estrip parties and when me and (e:jill) and (e:lilho) did estrip interviews to drum up traffic in the early estrip days. WE used to be pretty hardcore about getting new members. Theres a a lot of video of (e:matt)'s 24th or 25th bday I can't remember now.
Wathcing these videos made me realize how crazy yet awesome and fun me and my friends used to be. Like we never drank and we just were ridiculous. THere is one where we all dressed up, Yosepha and Jen like dolled up gals named Pralene and Cream , (e:mk) as a vietnam vet that wore sunglasses from the Nanny and kept PTSDing screaming "watch out cece", I wore a ladies thong over my jeans and a blond wig and was named Skeets and jill was my pimp/lover bambam. And we went out walking around Elmwood dressed like this and acting out our characters. We were so weird but I loved every minute of it. Now all the craziness usually ensues because of drinking but then we were just plain crazy fun.
me and (e:mk) are going to get together on WEdnesday night and watch the videos and eat delicious snacks like heated salsa. Hopefully (e:jill) can make it too...
one day maybe I'll put some of these vids on here, especially from estrip parties and what not.

Kokomo TrolliesSo after my last post I was trying to find Kokomo on Youtube and this is actually one of the first results that came up: Are you F'in kidding me, Trolls and Kokomo , this is my dream come true!!!!

Love Someone TonightInstead of driving home from work on like the 290 or 190 to thruway to 33 or scajaquada or whatever highwayish way I used to go , I've instead been just driving straight down main street from Williamsville to home. I swear it only takes a few minutes more and is a much more pleasant drive. Mind you I wouldn't do it at like 5 but when I get out at 9 or 11 and there is little traffic it just is a pleasant drive I really enjoy for some reason. I usually listed to Delilah where people call in and she plays sappy love songs. I love it, always have and it is a nice end to my day. I am so glad I started driving home this way instead, for some reason I swear it makes work seem better. AND to top it all off last night they played Kokomo by the Beach Boys which is like my all time favorite song ever! Ever! EVER!! I MEAN EVER! NEVER TO BE TOPPED BY ANY OTHER SONG! When I was young if it would come on when we were driving home I would make my parents keep driving around the block until the song was over (and they would , was I a brat? unsure).
Anywho, this post was really supposed to be about Delilah letting me down a little. She has always done commercials for products and she suppossedly uses and loves them all but this latest one seemed extra scammy. It is for some pill that cures eczema, asthma and everything else. Not a prescription but like an otc vitamin of some sort. And she talks about how this pill is a gift from god and helped out her daughter so much. I feel like that is really playing on her core listeners and they trust her so much and will be like "a pill from god, well gosh darn it I need that!". I just didn't like it Delilah...... but i still love your show and will listen forev!
It's Omega XL , here's the link
And lets end this with a little kokomo,...ok wait I was gonna post a video but am gonna make it a whole new entry

i would like to say i have always loved/hated delilah. my mom and i used to bond over making fun of her. and about the kokomo... i always wanted to go to the places in the song, and they played it on the party bus in aruba and it was the best thing ever.

I for fun looked around a bit and on Netflix you can get it but not instantly watch it... Now You tube you can watch it for a 3.99 fee so for now I watched something else but I will see it at some point...

I checked out so many books in my first few months here. So maybe that was why I was at the library all the time. I agree it could be hard when you don't have a reason to frequent the library as often. The validation is easy to forget. They should have a one step instead of a two step process. If they made it more complicated it certainly won't count as the least red-tape library. I am comparing it to the Rochester/California/NYC systems, which seems more complicated - enough so that I was discouraged from getting memberships for the time I stayed in those places (and had proof of residence from my brother).

yikes. well, I don't even remember having validated now... Maybe they changed the process? It was one of the first memberships I got when I came here. I think I just gave them a copy of my ID and my lease, they gave me a temporary number and at the end of the temporary period (21 days, I think), I returned to the library to verify something and they handed me the keytag. I have never had any validations or even checks or anything since.

Buffalo Public Library is the "least red-tape library"? I feel like I've been through so many ID validations and check-ins that I should get more than a keychain tag. I think my borrowing privileges have been revoked because I failed to make the last check-in/validation date. :-p

They only ask you to show a valid ID, a current bill/lease and you are all set. BPL is seriously the least red-tape library I have experienced.

Getting it from the library seems like a faster way. You could take a walk to central right now and walk out with it.
Btw, the pics of São Paulo without ads are here :::link:::

And some very interesting things, did you know, for instance that São Paulo has a complete ban in place on outdoor advertising? it was so weird. I need to do a picture post. I am not sure what I prefer. Color and crazy ads or blank uniform walls.

My favourite scenes are when he spots this weird brand of shampoo called "Mane & Hair" and when they agree to be in the film (he just puts them in there because they return his call, and not because they pay sponsorship). He later shows his promised promotion clip where he, his son and a shetland pony are using Mane & Hair in the bathtub. And then there are all these crazy interviews, one with Quentin Tarantino where the director just finishes telling him that ads are only obvious when it is jarring and completely incongruous. We pan back and we see a bottle of Ban deodorant sitting on the table in front of them for no obvious reason. It was so hysterical and caustic. Loved it.

Neither. I checked it out from the Buffalo Public Library. Both the Crane and Central branches have one. Place a hold on it. It's very popular. My online is so pathetic that watching youtube videos is a patience-testing challenge. And I have got so much attention-deficit and guilt that I cannot watch more than 15 minutes in a setting. The movie took me a whole week to watch, and I only finished it because the DVD was due back and I didn't want to pay the fine.
But it was an excellent movie. Makes me want to watch all of his other works *and* recommendations. :::link:::
Quite strangely he reminds me a lot of (e:Matthew). His manner of speaking and accent are very much like (e:Matthew)!

Several studies now point to the fact that taking extra micronutrients (vitamins and mineral) when you are not really deficient in any of them increases your chances of dying.

I don't listen to Shred and Regen (however you spell their names on the EDGE) that often they are good but just on at the wrong time and heard to listen also if you are online reading stuff like here or facebook or whatever.... The Point is I kinda feel the same way when they do ads... It implies that it is product they are into.... But see that isn't the case.... This is how Radio use to be it would be live then the person doing a show would do an ad same thing with TV that is how the Soap Operas got there name since the advertisers where soap... Some of the most famous sports events if you think Tennis where advertisers names at one point ...... But we here the name and it kinda sounds like a place then later we go oh that is a cig. company or what ever... The point is that is what the Advertisers work.... Here is this guy that we trust so we will trust the ad.... There is a new form of this on the internet called Gorilla marketing... Where a company pays a person to hype up there product through the web and there personal connections....

I definately prefer driving down streets to highways. Besides being more pleasant, there is much less chance of you dying in a horrific car crash at 30mph.
I wonder if that stuff will cure my geographic tongue.
And to answer you question, yes, you were a brat.

I love this a lot and sort of wish I worked with you so I could make fun decorations for the holidays!
Whoa, that really sounds like fun. Our bulletin board at work needs someone like you!
(e:tiny) you put your hand on a piece of brown paper and trace it and cut it out. Then you decorate it to look like a turkey and can add things like a gobbler, beak, eyes, feet and a top hat.
So cute!
That's really cute. I love glitter... I would definitely enjoy that.
What is a hand turkey?! Like a turkey with hands? Spooky.
