The plague again
Category: health
I can't believe (e:Paul) and I are sick I've been sick three times since new years which is more than I have been in forever. I am so done with it.

Anyways Saturday I though I was hungover from Mickey's but I must have been sick because I slept and sweat nearly the whole day. The little I did do was watch TV and movies with Paul and (e:terry). It was kind of relaxing and I didn't want to move, but mentally I still had that itch. It helped a bit when I took a bath with Paul but somehow I murdered my back on the tub faucet.

Sunday I felt slightly better. I got us a Vicks humidifier from Walgreen's which despite the plastic construction didn't smell too cancery and not at all in the steam - BPA free hopefully? Paul has turned the dining room into a rainforest. Later I made him go on a death march with me to the coop since it was so nice and we were out of food. We kept time, contact, and exposure to the bare minimum so hopefully we didn't infect anyone. I got to practice programming the rest of the day and watch more dumb TV.

This house on our walk was still decked out for easter

Today I feel almost 100% but still a bit swollen with a sore throat. I think tomorrow I'll be done with it.

The worst part is that its been nice out, and we missed Matt and Kim, the Mile in Her Shoes run, the Jungle Gym and playing outside. Terry has been lucky and escaped with his superhuman immune system, so at least he has been able to do stuff. Ein bisschen jelly.

Its on Linwood, nortg from us, facing east.
tinypliny - 05/02/14 23:35
OKay I think the windows face west then - if its on Franklin leading to Allen. :)
tinypliny - 05/02/14 21:46
Maybe the windows do face south... I know this house!! Is it on the same block and side as (e:Terry) and (e:Heidi)'s office?
tinypliny - 05/02/14 21:45
Imagine sitting in the window seat and coding.... :)

Only I think it faces east, right? I like south facing windows.
tinypliny - 05/02/14 21:44
That is such a pretty house. :)

Château Harmon
Category: friends
Friday (e:terry) and I headed over to Mickey's for his housewarming party. His apartment is in the amazing white building with the big porches and columns on Colonial Circle. (e:Paul) was sick although I didn't feel it yet, so we were free to live it up at cat-infested parties for a night.

It was a really nice place, but Terry and I became recluses in the back nook with (e:Robert), Jenn, Callie and her boyfriend. Robert made this dangerous blackberry punch, and cucumber sandwiches.

On the way there and back Terry and I had most of our conversation auf Deutsch. I'm really happy with the progress I'm making in speaking German lately. He made bean dip at home but I fell asleep before it was even ready.

"we were free to live it up at cat-infested parties for a night." hahaha! it was fun to recluse in the back with you guys, i was not at all in a very party party mood until shortly before you guys headed out.

I'm glad you had fun :)

Buffalo's newest tower
Category: buffalo

Not the Delaware North building. They've been building this at South Park and Michigan for over a month now. Its right next to the NFTA rail depot.

It's not a real building, just a marine grade plywood shell with nothing inside. The lot used to be a tiny grassy corner. It seems weird to be some sort of replica light house, because its definitely inland and nowhere near the actual harbor. I doubt it's anything historic because they're using vinyl siding on it and the old DL&W terminal used to cover this. What could it possibly be?

tinypliny - 04/27/14 15:26
Wow that is ugly. Maybe its a temporary watchtower of some kind - you know to keep a watch.

Skyway/naked bike rides - nsfw
Category: bikes
Bike month is almost here.

So the rumors were true, there is going to be a ride on the skyway on May 31st (the day after Buffalo's only critical mass).
It's kind of expensive at $40 a pop for GOBike members but it's a really good fundraising idea. I'm planning on volunteering, if anyone else wants to, it gets you on the ride and a free beer.
You can sign up here.

If only we could get a www.worldnakedbikeride.org in June. It sounds ridiculous but I feel like it'd be so fun. Henry from GoBike said there might be one. Maybe I should start a facebook event for it - if we have enough people you can't be arrested right?

Seems like that bike seat would be rather uncomfortable that way.
metalpeter - 04/26/14 16:33
I don't bike but I'm sure the view from up there on a bike would be cool cause you could go at a nice speed to view and maybe take media can't really do it in a speeding car..... the nude biking I don't bike so I don't get but do get the wanting to show it off thing :) ...... And they could just bring like a big bus or something :) ?
paul - 04/25/14 12:19
I remember when I was in high school and randomly witnessed the Toronto one while there for the weekend. It was so crazy to see all these naked people flying by.

Dyngus day
Category: holiday
Monday (e:paul), (e:terry) and I went out to Dyngus day celebrations with Emily and Lindsay.
We headed to the main area outside of the Central Terminal. Note for the future: you probably can find a wrist band in the trash heap/ground. I guess it's for the Central Terminal so maybe a good cause?
Although it came up on google - Paul didn't think so - (e:paul,38839)

The polka band was awesome in a weird way. I can't picture dancing to that music any other time but it was a good time. (e:Paul) got hit on by a married man, we found a ground beer, the weather was perfect and the crowd was so sloppy-energetic.

It does seem a little weird that the whole region flocks to the city's most forgotten neighborhood just once a year to get loud and drunk, and then never comes back. I wonder how the residents feel about it?

Afterwards Emily left but we all headed to DBGB's. The was free food but it was only sausage and pasta - blech. We danced a little more before walking home actually just at midnight so I got to sleep.
