2012 Erie Country Fair
Category: photos
Now the thing that is great about Fairs I assume the state fair is like this and even fairs that are different is that they have things for all different people.. There is the Fried Food, Games, Rides, shows, shopping (yes all kinds of cool things you can get), The Animals, Animal Events and grand stand events as well.... Um did I mention the food not just the deep fried stuff... Yes trying new stuff can be a bit scary cause it might not all be made the same... But here are a few pix.. Ok more then a few ....

Ok I admit the last two foods are kinda odd... I had to try the Chocolate bacon.. Now it was good but strange it was kinda like a sauce and I like mine cooked more soft but that is just me... The other thing was good and odd and liked the dipping stuff but couldn't tell you the flavor.. Chicken Fried bacon... I wasn't brave enough to try the deep fried butter ... Bet it could have been great.....

Peeking Acrobats 2012
Category: photos
So this weekend was the first weekend of The Erie County fair... It is going to have to be multiple posts... But I figured not just for (e:tinypliny) but for anyone who does yoga these acrobats of course they are women so they do have a bit more flexabilty I could be wrong on that but I thought there was some way the pelvis lines up or something sorry can't remember in any event for now here is their performance.. sorry if the pictures look over exposed a bit...

Yeah, I think flexibility is a cultivated trait. Gets harder as you get older.
metalpeter - 08/13/12 18:46
How they do it I don't know... some of it is equipment I'm sure and learning how to do it... But I think that some of it is that they learn at a very young age. Or maybe beaten ..HA..Oh that is only in the kung fu schools and that I doubt is done anymore.... I think there are some skills teach balance and to have total body control with slow movements... But there also has to be a genetic aspect to it.. I won't go so far as to say only Asians can do it. But some people naturally when they go upside down lose where there feet are or maybe that is just me.. I also wonder if there is an age thing.. Like as an example in olympics to be a do gymnastics you have to be is it 16 or 15 I can't remember But I'm guessing at least for the women again just a guess that youth helps?
tinypliny - 08/13/12 17:41
All the photos look so breath-taking. How did they do all that balancing?!!
tinypliny - 08/13/12 17:40
WOW. Thanks so much for posting these. They are amazing.

And are you kidding. Its been ages since I did yoga and even when I did, I couldn't come close to ANY of those poses. What are they, made of rubber?!!

Aug 2012 Skiffle Happy Hour
Category: photos
So I admit I Haven't been infringing like I should..Part of that is the olympics and Social Media and work and the heat... Now this isn't part of infringement and again sorry for not posting pix up here of that yet... but if you are on facebook you can see them....But last night there where a few things going on wonder if they set the world record for Zombies at the ball park.. The reason I didn't go is that to get made up then go home on a bus.. Doesn't sound like a good idea.... Plus it sounded like they would be through out the ball park and not like in one area so... There was an art thing at 424 and Lloyd's but went with Skiffle....

Dark-Spider-Man and more
Category: movies
So last weekend I didn't post about it but went to go see the new spiderman movie... It is the spiderman story everyone doesn't know about I know I didn't know much of it but it was pretty good.... Even Though I have never thought they had the exact fit for Peter Parker.. Yeah Tobie or is it Toby was good once I started watching fringe that that kid might have been better except he came of not really as a kid... I liked how in the last movie the did the hinting at the other goblin well guess that isn't happening...

When Batman Begins came out it was very good... I mention it cause they kinda restarted the franchise... Now maybe it was just in this mood I was in. But I thought Dark Night Rises was amazing... Can't give anything away other then that They linked the story lines together... There was just one part I didn't get but I think I understood not 100% sure... Walked in and walked out about 3 hours later :) I mean from the other movies... And they did some what I call wink and nod to future movies or at least story lines...Action Story I thought it was pretty amazing.... I said the mood thing so I'll mention it here... On the way to the show it hit me that one thing about being an adult is how some things lose being special.. Going to the movies is cool.. But as a kid it is like a treat you look forward to.. Oh mom can we get popcorn ..No we are eating after the movie...Things like that.. Yeah Doritos are cool but when you have a snack for every sporting event....

Now I have to mention Superman... Couple years ago they came out with what I thought was a good superman movie...Well not sure what happened to this guy but there is a new one out well new preview at least.. No idea if the Man of steel is a new take or remake or how you would call it....



That should be the one they showed .... I can't post trailers all day but I also think the next Tarantino movie could be great...



Now back to things at hand... I can't just post about this movie with out talking about the killings... Now both sides can make a point on gun control based on the mass shooting... Now what happened to the guy who knows... Maybe He really loved bane or is it bain or maybe he thinks that was a put down of the company :( ... Who knows but as much as I'm a Fan of the darknight one can see how in real life that villain does have a pull to him I could almost feel a bit of the occupy movement to the extreme in him... So for some people it was an unwanted real life real 3D event and that is to bad.... There is a part of me that thinks this could cause all kinds of security issues going forward.... That would be to bad at the 10:15 AM show I didn't notice anything... Did I mention how fun this movie was..Lots of yes moments but maybe that is just me....

I Haven't seen suits but there are a few shows I like on USA network...
tinypliny - 08/13/12 19:25
hey, do you watch the Suits? Its my new favourite. I think its been ages since I watched a "new" show that was not already 4 years old or something. But this one is so nicely done. Lawyers are so glamorous.
metalpeter - 08/13/12 18:50
Well there was a time when I didn't go for like months.. I was so caught up in all my shows .....
tinypliny - 08/13/12 17:45
Its been ages since I saw a film in a movie hall... I think the last time I went, it was to that comedy movie with (e:peeps). Now I can't even remember the name...

Well we shall see... I guess this is a good showing of what I saw...
metalpeter - 08/13/12 18:56
Most years I go 2 days... This Year I went for a few hours on Sunday... If I remember Correctly the olympics where on and I watched those and then went to infringement and wanted to save my self for that.... Yet I still have to post pictures from that cause I have so many not sure how to post them ?
metalpeter - 08/13/12 18:54
In the backyard they had the grill area set up like so one could have a stir fry then the Japanese ? water thing... At first I just thought the table setting was part of like the theme and art but I see there is a little piece of what might be food in a bowl so maybe they really do use it?

tinypliny - 08/13/12 17:44
So whom was that dinner laid out for? Nice squarish bowls. :)
tinypliny - 08/13/12 17:43
Hmmm... Look at how the old money lives. ;-)
tinypliny - 08/13/12 17:42
So pretty! I missed it again this year. And this time I didn't even know it was that weekend. I think I slept through the weekend because I was completely exhausted. :)
