La tee Da
Category: food

Friday night (e:Paul) and I got (e:terry) to ditch taxes at night and meet us at La Tee Da for dinner and beer. It was really good but seemed kind of pricey. I wanted to use a gift certificate that was on the fridge apparently for years but Paul thought it was too old.

We split an amazing salad with goat cheese, and eggplant buffalo sticks. I had a vegetable creamy polenta entree that was humongous.

While we were there we ran into a girl, Emily, whose brother I used to row with. Apparently the Nugent family bought the restaurant.

Is this the space that used to be Cybele's back in the day? Oh man, I miss that place. Sunday Brunch there was a weekly ritual and a religious experience, kinda like gay chruch.

I think I went to this restaurant with (e:Heidi) back in the day!

The egg plant wings are so good.

Hang on. Where is the shot of the creamy polenta?

Duolingo gets dark

A little lebensmüde at the retirement home, I guess.

Hopefully I'll never need to use this sentence.

I'm sick of your tag. Seriously you have the worst tag ever. It's not clever, or creative or good looking in any way. You feel the need to ruin everything with it though. At least Hart Atak put his shitty tag in interesting places. I hope they catch you and you can use the few brain cells the spray paint hasn't killed to clean it all up.

Bcuz was very bad I think when I was younger there was Yute or something like that.... The Problem with the tagging is often they tag the wrong things .... LIke the cover of what looks like a grill .... I get that they like being an out law... and out law art must be a thrill ? and I've seen it on things like mail boxes.... But at the end of the day unless there is a picture or a mural it brings a feeling of gritty, maybe crime area, or some feeling like that... and when visiting some places it looks really cool I've seen a few pictures on line that I guess are legendary .... but when it is your building and you brick wall it doesn't look so great and it wouldn't be fun ......

joe - 04/03/14 09:41
True. Bcuz was awful.

I agree, I wouldn't have that much of a problem with it if it was talented or creative or just not terrible to look at. It's still on other people's stuff, but I think there's plenty of examples of graffiti in other cities that is cool and maybe even adds something to the environment. This just sucks.

metalpeter - 04/03/14 08:51
That isn't the worst one ..... at least it is a face "Bcuse" is I think after he was caught he admitted he didn't even use any art at all... but maybe I'm biased cause I've seen it all over and on the way to work.... I've seen some ugly looking tags .... Some people who tag Train Cars are amazing with people, faces, skulls a picture worked in.... Most are hard to read with those fonts and shadows..... at least they try to be creative ....

Woodcock in the window
Category: animals

(e:paul), (e:terry) and I were in the backyard about to go on a bike ride yesterday when we heard a huge thud. It turned out that this big fat cute woodcock flew into one of the windows. He couldn't fly right away but maybe he had a bird concussion or something.

He let Terry pick him up so he could be moved to a better spot. When we came back, I felt guilty and wanted to bring him in so he didn't get gefressen by a cat. Maybe Basra could have had a new pet (jk Basra would have eaten him).

He was gone though, and there were no feathers on the ground. I hope he flew away.

Spring again
Category: biking

I got (e:terry) on the first spring bike ride. We rode around the park and parkways so he could take a break from tax time.

I can't wait for riding to be this good all the time this summer. On the way back we ran into Linsday for a few seconds.

At home, we walked with (e:paul) and went to Taza to be outcooled for some coffee.
