Rolled Coins?
Category: shopping
Really, people try and pay often enough with rolls of coins as the gourmet chef store at the mall that they need a sign?

Maybe people pay them in rolled coins *because* "there is a bank right upstairs". I know I would be like. Oops, I have no change, but wait, here's a roll I just got.

Paul is a boring boy
Category: life
I need to do something besides computer programming. Its all I am interested in besides outdoors (which sucks right now) and dancing.

Luckily, tonight is a dance event at Dnipro. Get Down Solstice! @ Dnipro Ukrainian Center I saw it listed on the Buffablog music site.

Get Down Solstice! is a fundraiser for the local Native American organization, Neto. It is a unique event featuring musical acts and DJs from Toronto, New York City, and from Buffalo. It is a loaded event for a good cause that is taking place at the Dnipro Ukrainian Center at 562 Genesee St.



I wish I had more to say. Maybe I will actually get some pictures to post.

Paul had anything but a boring weekend after all and I got 90% of my Christmas shopping done.
tinypliny - 12/17/11 20:36
The future is controlled by programmers. I wish my programming skills got better overnight. I am sick of being inefficient.
tinypliny - 12/17/11 20:25
I am eating a ton of salt again. I think I need to count it as a hobby to make my hobbies seem expansive.
metalpeter - 12/17/11 19:03
Have a great time! Yeah and take some pictures and post them as well.....

The wii
Category: games
In a desperate attempt to play wii games I just risked all of our lives driving to Walmart in cheektovegas at 10:42, top speed to try and make it there by 11. We made it just before they closed. I dropped the guys off at the front door and they slid in as the security dude was locking it up. By the time I parked to doors were locked.

Like 5 years ago my parents gave me a gift card for one that I never could use because they were out of them for like year. I ended up using the money on other crap. I guess its like pre paid if you think about it that way.

Yes, I thought so too. In fact, I remember seeing Nunchuk controllers in your dining room...

And a friend of mine has the same big TV as yours and he plays the wii full resolution (I think). It has some unlocking trick or something. I am not sure.
metalpeter - 12/17/11 14:29
That is odd I thought you guys had the Wii I have seen people play with one at your place.....
paul - 12/17/11 13:11
We got it. It was a stupid last minute purchase. Turns out it is only 720P but our TV is 1080p.
tinypliny - 12/17/11 05:48
So did you get it? The pictures are so misleading and so not wii. lol

St. Patricks Day
Category: holidays
I was at Ulrichs last night for their Christmas party and I saw the St. Patrick's countdown is down to about ~90 days. Usually, St Patrick's marks the start of spring for me. I mean, how many times have we been in teeshirts then, and it hasn't even snowed yet. So I figure winter can't be that bad this year even if it starts getting shitty now.

libertad - 12/16/11 19:39
This is very encouraging. I miss riding my bike and being hot and feeling the sun. I'm so happy that we have started very mild. Winter is good for me in different ways but I hate it.
metalpeter - 12/16/11 17:52
The Funny thing is Often on St. Patrick's Day Parade day it is nice and then gets cold that day maybe this year it snows a foot....

What else can you do with it: :::link:::
metalpeter - 12/15/11 18:41
Here is a side Business from what I have heard people have this here for club drugs... Sell a tester it would test certain things turns one color might be safe a different color has things that are toxic like the other type of Alcohol (rubbing as an example)
tinypliny - 12/15/11 12:11
% 5 percent — roughly 60 million people — are alcoholics.

I think that might be an underestimate.
flacidness - 12/15/11 10:57
Oh shit!!!! No good, only the good stuff.
