Bis Bald
Category: travel

After two hours of sleep, (e:paul), (e:yesthatcasey) and I got up at 6 so I could take them to the airport. it was real chaotic and we were cutting it close on time. I dropped them off at the terminal about 7:15 for an 8am flight. I just got back. I haven't had to be up this early in a long time.

One week seems so long. Ich vermisse Paolo schon!

Hope its super bromantic! Wish we could escape the cold too.

I miss you guys already. We cut it so close. Its so crazy how they have one worker for priority security, one worker for families and then one worker for everyone else. The families and priority security people mostly sat there looking bored. Why don't they just have 3 people working everyone, it would go so fast.

Gabriel's Gate and Madonnas
Category: going out

last night (e:paul) and I went out with Carrie and Emily to Gabriel's Gate. We originally were going to try Don Tequila or Cantina but they had hours long waits, crazy. I got the North Street sandwich which was a portobello and Paul got the Linwood.

After dinner we met up with Lindsay and her sister at Madonnas. We ended up going on Tinder and seeing who we knew. Its pretty much a dating app based entirely on Facebook pictures.

(e:terry) was at DBGBs for the Breadhive thing. He went a little crazy because when he got back, he headed straight for under the table.

Getting out of the house
Category: work
Yesterday morning I received really disappointing news about an opportunity I was hoping for. It really sucked and I was upset about it for a bit, but I realized the only option is to keep working for when the next opportunity comes up.

After I got home I went to Spot to work on the form building site. I thought it would be hard to work since it's always so loud but I actually got more done than I usually do in a 24. Being in complete silence makes me sleep or go crazy, especially now that (e:paul) and (e:terry) are working close to 12 hours every day. I ended up seeing Catherine there and hung out with her for a bit. I also found out I won $10 to White Rabbit on facebook, so if anyone wants to get poisoned (e:joe,58422)

There's a new hookah lounge coming in the old Ambrosia space. I'm pretty blah on hookah but hopefully there will be good food.

The next month of cheese came in - one has 75% butterfat. Redonk.
image
To keep up Paul and my crazy bougie dessert binge I stopped at Wasabi to get some mochi. They had four flavors and all sounded freaking amazing. I had to get one of each.
image

When I got back I watched some Teen Wolf with Terry before Paul came back around 1.

Wow!! I want to try it!! Can one opt out of stinky and blue cheese, though? (and maybe the cheese with the live worms)
joe - 02/20/14 21:52
Terry got us a cheese of the month club for Christmas! So now we get all this fancy cheese for 6 months I think.
tinypliny - 02/20/14 21:50
What do you mean by "next month of cheese" - are you on some cheese plan? what is it?

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?

tinypliny - 02/20/14 21:59
Are they competition? I guess I am demonstrating exceptional "dense-ness" (or is that density?)
joe - 02/20/14 21:54
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.
paul - 02/17/14 22:17
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.

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

tinypliny - 02/21/14 04:04
Ridiculous. I want that dessert and I have none of the components. Arrgh!
tinypliny - 02/18/14 22:29
Try post-processing filters on G+.


AND wow. I LOVE each of those so I would have blown up with dessert delirium!
paul - 02/17/14 20:29
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.
