Broken Terry and the bougie clinic
Category: health
So (e:terry) hurt his knee at the roller rink the other night. Today we went to Immediate Care on Delaware Avenue. Its so ridiculous, it has a waterfall, expensive k-cups and all these TVs. No wonder its expensive to go there. They even have a loyalty club card that my parents have.

Fortunately we didn't have to Seabiscuit Terry and he just has to wear a brace and crutches for a week. Poor guy, he can't even straighten it :(

After we headed to Saigon Bankok for lunch.

Zombie Whiteout at the Rainbow Rink
Category: dancing

The music, skating and everything was freaking amazing. We went with (e:yesthatcasey) and met up with Tanya and Michelle. Casey and (e:xandra) did us up with makeup fakeup.

I was way better at skating this time but still not as good as (e:terry). He was trying to teach Casey.

The dancing was so good. There were so many types of EDM but I thought the 313 and Happy hardcore were the best.
The crowd was a little weird and only got weirder at the after party. Everyone there was rolling pretty hard and very North Tonawanda. Still was a great time despite the squished ride back and stank pizza.

paul - 02/03/14 01:06
That was some of the most fun I've had in a long time.

Dinner at Sato
Category: food

After work (e:paul) and I went to Sato for dinner. It opened this week in the old O3 place. I had the vegetarian curry ans split some vegetable rolls with Paul. The food was good but kind of bland and lukewarm. For dessert we had the coconut honey rice pudding which was really good. I totally want to make it at home.

The tables were so close together we couldn't help but listen to the people next to us. Paul heard this couple arguing because they weren't serving sushi and we both heard this lady tell her crazy blackout drunk stories with some guy in DC. So much drama

Cooler Couch
Category: random
Yesterday after having dinner with my parents I met up with (e:xandra), (e:terry), (e:Heidi) and (e:dianne) at Fat Bob's for a beer. There was the ridiculous football couch with a cooler built in. I wonder if it makes your ass cold when the cooler is filled?

Then we went home, and missed the Datsik show while I got in a fight about taxes with my dad. Talk about the last thing I ever want to do. Sorry (e:paul) :(

Truck rides with strangers
Category: bikes
I decided to ride my bike this morning even though the weather wasn't amazing. I saw (e:libertad) walking to work on North. I can never tell if that means I'm running really late or early.

Anyway I was riding down Fuhrmann when the wind and snow started picking up like crazy. A city truck was behind me so I pulled to the side to let him pass. The driver asked me if I was crazy, but I said "No, I'm just going to work."

He followed for a bit down to Tiftt before he honked and asked if I wanted a ride. I hate riding through Lackawanna in the snow since they never plow. So I threw my bike in the bed and got in. It turned out it was the Buffalo DPW commissioner Stephen Stepniak. He told me I was freaking crazy but he liked that I had guts. Once he found out where I worked he told me to send a resume to his office in City Hall.

So the moral of the story is take rides from strangers because how else are you going to network?

The ride back was real nice. I even had a good experience at Rick's for once after I stopped there for new brakes.

I concur with the insanity, but love the happenstance
iriesara - 01/28/14 18:56
Did the truck have a compartment claiming miscellaneous nipples? (Seriously.)
libertad - 01/28/14 17:52
This is a nice story but I agree, you are freaking insane. I told my coworkers about you and they think you are nuts too. So there it is, certifiable.
paul - 01/28/14 13:49
I love this story.
