How far would you go?
Category: internet

How far would you go, to save your news station?
I was reading an article on WIVB's website and this huge ad for a special on WGRZ came up/
It seems so crazy that Channel 4 can't or doesn't manage their ads to prevent something like that showing up. I guess Channel 2 must be targeting pages about spice?

Are they competition? I guess I am demonstrating exceptional "dense-ness" (or is that density?)

It's the save your child one. It's just crazy how an ad for a thing on channel 2 ended up on channel 4's website.

tinypliny - 02/20/14 21:52
okay, I am lost. Is the ad the "save your child" bit or the "don't wait" bit? It looks like its part of the website. I thought WIVB always had a very garish site with ads.

Could we get an add on channel 4?

Fancy dessert
Category: food

Last night (e:terry) went to go watch UFC with (e:yesthatcasey). (e:paul) and I stayed in did a crazy amount of German chat routletting. Eventually we needed a snack.

We ended up making a ridiculous dessert of vanilla mochi, plus marscapone cheese, apricot jam, quince paste and natural maraschino cherries. I don't know if I've ever had anything better.

The white balance is always so off on pictures in the kitchen. I wish I could adjust it better on the phone.

Ridiculous. I want that dessert and I have none of the components. Arrgh!

Try post-processing filters on G+.

AND wow. I LOVE each of those so I would have blown up with dessert delirium!

Its hard to truly explain how good it was. I didn't even realize I had bought the cherries until we got home. It must have been my subconscious.

Erica's Birthday
Category: birthdays

Saturday we had a party for (e:czarkasm)'s 26th. The house was absolutely tricked out with purple theme and outfits. I didn't have any purple to wear, but the bottle of Gato ended up on my shirt so that counts.

Erica took her spankings like a champ, and made an awesome toffee bar dessert and a taco dip.

I accidently/on purpose slapped (e:paul) in his infected tooth, because of (e:mike,58687). I still feel bad about that.

What is it with all this cutlery-based violence at the 24?!

Ice Caves at Crystal Beach
Category: hiking

(e:paul), (e:terry) and I got off the couch this afternoon to go walk around the ice caves at Crystal Beach. Apparently the wind and the cold weather made these crazy huge formations on the shore.

The lake was rock solid, and the combination of the snow and setting sun made it so amazing. We couldn't even climb some of them.

Icy walk at Times Beach
Category: hiking

It looked so nice outside today I had to get out of the house. (e:paul) called it to (e:terry) when they got their hair cut.

Terry's leg wasn't the best so just Paul and I went, but not before they almost broke each other. We drove down to Times Beach to walk on the ice. It seemed pretty solid, although we didn't go too far. The sun was redonk bright and even the lake was covered in snow. (e:paul) wasnt used to the wind so we moved over to Tiftt for a hike.

I can't wait until its warm.

On the way back we stopped to get things for (e:czarkasm)'s party. The Elmwood liquor store had this picture of Nicki Minaj that was super whitewashed. It was so weird.
