happier with two lights
Category: pets

The tortoises seem way happier now that they are not fighting over one basking lamp. They actually sit next to each other.

Or maybe the little one is about to attack basra.

v.cute. Hope the fighting's gone down

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?

tinypliny - 12/18/11 21:31
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.

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.

tinypliny - 12/17/11 14:57
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....
