Christine F.
Category: movies

After we got back from our walk, (e:paul) and I decided to watch a movie in German. I put on "Wir KInder vom Bahnoff Zoo" which had an English title of Christine F.

. She was this (in)famous druggie from Berlin.

I only knew about it because of clips of it were in a music video for "Drugs in my Body" by theives like us. If you watch that, you'd think it's a movie about crazy kids in Berlin on drugs having fun.

No. Not at all.

It had to have been the most terrifying and depressing movie I've ever seen. I guess it's a good movie if you enjoy heroin addiction, neglected children living in train stations, David Bowie and prostitution. Spoiler alert, you get to watch a 14 year old girl with the shakes throw up over her prostitute boyfriend as he snorts heroin. All of the fun parts in the video take place in the first 5 minutes and it's all downhill from there. There wasn't even anyone cute in whole movie. I guess it makes a good dare PSA.

At least I got to practice Deutsch.

I hate depressing movies with a passion. They are doses of extra stress I don't need.

Spring trash
Category: buffalo

The worst part about spring is how Buffalo turns into a brown muddy garbage pit, and you finally see all the damage done during the winter. Especially the cigarette butts and litter. Blech.

Not only the roads are bad but you see all the what all the asshole plow drivers did to the sidewalks, like the one for 197 North. I'll try and be optimistic and hope they'll fix it before the sidewalk buckles.

When Paul and I got back from out Price Rite trip we fressed some leftover spaghetti with some wine, artichokes, parmesean and garlic. It smelled like puke but it actually tasted good.

Its so crazy how some food smells somewhat dodgy but tastes okay. You know I have this secret (well not so secret now) ritual of smelling all the food I cook and then tasting it. I am using the data for building a mental grand correlation summary. I think the figure stands at around 0.40 now. 40% of what I smelled and then tasted smelled not so great but tasted okay.

I don't get why people drive over the curbs and plow the aidewalks when plowing. It wrecks everything. I would sue my plower if he fucked my house up that much.

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.

tinypliny - 04/07/14 12:44
I think I went to this restaurant with (e:Heidi) back in the day!

paul - 04/07/14 11:29
The egg plant wings are so good.

tinypliny - 04/07/14 03:07
Hang on. Where is the shot of the creamy polenta?

Duolingo gets dark
Category: deutsch

A little lebensmüde at the retirement home, I guess.

Hopefully I'll never need to use this sentence.

666 can go to hell
Category: buffalo

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 ....
