Halloween Time
The Jello jiggler shots are in the fridge, my costume is a pile of glittery fabric on the floor still waiting to be put together...that's right it's almost halloween Party Time! I think it is one of my favorite parties of the year! Always lots of people and lots of costumes and lots of fun! Hopefully my costume comes out better thant he troll last year,even I can admit that was a low point in my homemade costume repertoire...haha. Hope to see you all and see some new faces there tomorrow

My Interesting Walk
So when I got home from work today I decided I wanted to go on a walk. I love fall nights and walking around on fallish weather nights though tonight was actually a little warmer than fall night I think. Anywhoser I started my walk down Elmwood and go to around HIghland and there was this truck from tvcitybuffalo.com trying to back out of a driveway. Traffic stopped to let it back out but accidentally (well I'm assuming accidentally) the truck hit the gas and smashed into the car parked across the street. I know how much it sucks to get hit by a car when you are not there as that happened to my car almost in the exact same spot about 5 years ago. I was about a block away but I saw a few people go over and the truck pulled over so I assumed they were going to leave a note and as I was much farther from where it happened I continued my walk but then I looked back and the truck drove and the people walked away but I never saw anyone leave a note. So I had to get some paper but by the time I got some paper to write a note and went back the car that got hit was gone. The car was a black SUVish maybe crossover type care and it's liscense plate was FRZ 3968 . If you know whose car this is contact me so I can give them the info on the truck that hit them.

As many of you know this is the second time I have seen a hit and run and last time it ended up being a very appreciative local mayor's car. I jsut know how much it would have sucked if there were no witnesses for when my car got hit when i wasn't there .I would have been totally screwed if it werent' for the good samaritans that got their info.

Any who so after that I continue on my walk towards downtown Spot. Oddly enough the walk towards downtown is way more active on a Thursday at like 7 than on the weekends. Or maybe that's not odd, I don't know. ANywho , as I am about to walk into spot a german or maybe swedish or something couple stops me and asks where all the movie theaters are. They said they saw this was the movie theater district but didn't see any movie theaters. I explained that it was the theater not the movie theater district but could at least direct them to the Market Arcade. Once again, I was thinking how desolate and scary downtown Buffalo must often seem for travelers visiting our city. I am often the only person around to give them any info on the desolate streets.

So I go into Spot and get my coffee and Mary Alice Demler from Channel 2 news was there. I always love alittle local celeb sighting so that was nice.

Then in my usual odd self I decided I should follow the couple to make sure they find the theater but I follow them at a safe distance for the few blocks because I didn't want them to think I was following them and extra creepy but had they turned around and seen my stalkingly following them from a distance that would probably be scarier than had I just said let me walk you there. So they made it there, but let me say, when it is dark out that part of Main Street is kinda creepy , even with the TGIF's that is open and the movie theater it is reallyd ark and kinda creepy.

Then I started my walk back and while walking down elmwood by Utica I saw one of my old customers from Eckerd who I hadn't seen since I left for Independent Health so it was nice to catch up with them and then finish my walk home. All in all a very eventful fall walking night.

And P.S. and unrelated I decided to watch Glee tonight which I almost hardly ever watch and it happens to be a terribly sad and depressing episode , what a not great time to tune in except you all know I really secretly or not so secretly because I write about it a lot love depressing tv shows and movie moments.

Not sure about that break on fox's website it says new glee this thurs.. sorry
metalpeter - 10/06/12 12:01
Yeah you watched the Breakup episode... The music was amazing in this episode but yeah it was pretty sad..It was a bit rough at my place as well so... But now they are on break for think what is close to a month... I assume this also might be a way to write people off the show? But not sure cause why not just write them off at graduation or maybe we need to know how things are going...

Our downtown is kinda odd... You have the 2 kinds the one where people go work and leave it a ghost town.. And the kind where everyone goes there... we are kinda in the middle ... Think maybe if we had one more sports team in the arena that might help? Of course as much as I love the Galleria all the shops that left DT for the burbs doesn't help.....

FRZ3968 license plate
If FRZ3968 is your license plate or you know whose car that is , it was a black crossover or maybe suvish type car let me know. I saw a truck hit it and then possible drive away on Elmwood near Lexington today. I didn't get the license plate from the truck but it was a business truck so I know where it was from. I had no paper to leave a note and when I came back your car was gone already.

The New Normal
I keep wanting to love the tv show The New Normal which I dno't know why i want to love , it just seems like it would be something I like. But i just like it , I definitely don't' love it. It has some funny moments and like Ellen Barkin's character says some really funny things but it is almost too much. Like just is too ridiculously offensive, I love offensive people as much as the next person but something about it seems like too much. I do love the little girl on it though. The episode where she was the lady from Grey Gardens for like the whole episode was hilarious! She is really good but the rest, I don't know, I can take it or leave it.
