For thanksgiving eve (e:paul), (e:terry), (e:xandra) and Jake went out to the Lafayette for their dance night. The place itself was awesomely done, there were DJs and music spread over four different floors and rooms. The crowd was pretty bro. We ran into a bunch of people including Michelle, the go bike girl whose name I can't remember, and (e:Robert) and Mickey.
This chick was dancing by herself, with the pole. She was real into it.

First Real Snow/Cliche snow picsCategory: weather
The first real snow of the year started yesterday. Snow is actually pretty exciting except that I want to ride my bike to work and I haven't bought new tires yet. I went on a run instead last night, and it was way easier to stay focused in the snow instead of the rain.
Linwood looks so amazing covered in fresh snow.
I was stuck driving to work and was behind this ancient truck. The exhaust was so rich I could smell gas in my car. It's so gross that trucks that old are exempt from emissions requirements in NYS.
I can't believe how bright Richmond is below the Ferry Circle. I realized it before but the snow makes it so much worse. I'm guessing they picked the brightest lights in the name of safety, but I could never sleep if I lived down there.
Collapsed stairs at Gates Circle. They were either working on them or the fill underneath got washed out somehow.

PostcrossingCategory: random
A while back I signed up for this website post crossing.org. the concept is that you send a postcard to a randomly assigned stranger somewhere in the world, and then they get it your name comes up for another stranger to send you one. It sounds like the beginning of some lifetime movie where i get murdered, but i haven't so far. I sent three cards, two to a guy and girl in Germany, and one to a biologist out in Siberia.
I know its super old school, but there's something about having physical mail which I never really get, especially from another person. it'd be way easier and to chatroulette but this is kind of cool (and has way fewer old man penises).
Today I got a card from Taiwan from Sheng/Rita? it was pretty cute.

Ch-ch-chiliCategory: food
Last night (e:paul), (e:terry), (e:xandra), and I headed to (e:mike) and (e:libertad)'s with (e:yesthatcasey) and Tanya for a chili dinner and some Cards Against Humanity (inaprop as usual, see Paul's post).
The chili was amazing, (e:libertad) and (e:mike) even made a vegetarian bean one. Paul's water, not so much. Terry and I made baklava and apple crisp to complete stuffing everyone.
Paul and Terry and I food coma'd on the floor before we could even plan to do anything else.
Shopping for desserts and the outhouse calendar we always needed
Four sticks of butter and three cups of sugar - don't think about it too much
Finished product
The queen in her own pope-mobile
Food porn
Terry and his mad puppeteer skills
Giving back Mike's mess
Royal spelunking - I guess the queen couldn't help herself
If you got em flaunt em
Food coma

I used to love snow across the board. Not so much anymore, but there's still something about enjoying it from the inside or walking around Buffalo right after it falls that appeals to me.
I almost think waiting through winter makes summer and spring so much better than living in a warm weather climates. Then again, I've never lived outside of Buffalo or Cleveland so I don't know if that's true.
It's so funny. I hated snow when I lived in Buffalo. But now looking at these pictures, and remembering the time I spent there, gives me the warm and fuzzies. I guess I always remember things romantically, just the good parts and glossing over the negative ones. Very pretty though.
