I didn't rip it off! I have a mirror like that at home... I adjusted it and it fell... Someone had clearly loosened it before me. :(

I got it at bigllots, not sure. (e:litho) ripped the mirror off the way trying to pull it closer to her face. It's adjustable but only side to side and height positioned for a tall guy. I got more stable dry wall screws this time.

Okay tangential question - but what brand is that scrubber brush in your shower? I really need a good one.
tinypliny - 05/27/14 05:13
She tore down the mirror? Hmmm there has to be an interesting story behind it! Pray, spill!!!

Chateau Dufort-Vivens Margaux
Category: wine

On my birthday in January, back at Rue Franklin we got this amazing French wine. I wanted to get more so I got in touch with Jennifer Turner at City Wine Merchant located on the 700 block of main street across from the Buffalo Police station. They were able to special order two bottles. The look of the labels is not identical to the one from my birthday but everything written on the bottle is the same. She said the seller was down to their last few cases making this delicious wine a rare commodity.

I also had a new retina ipad mini I picked up right before in my brief case but was biking. I had to choose which item rode protected in the leather briefcase and which I carried in my hand. The $800 ipad or the $80 worth of wine. I chose the wine and hand carried the iPad because it was lighter and still boxed in original packaging so that if it fell, the iPad was actually more protected and replaceable than the possible last bottles of this delicious 2008 wine. At least what I told myself, to make me feel better about it. If the wine had destroyed the fossil bag it would have been extra ridiculous. Luckily, it is all home safe.

The struggle is real. I need to be with you so I can assist with the safe travel of your precious wines and high tech accessories. :)

Did I ever tell you are the most chaotically interesting and fascinating person (chaofastereston) I know?
tinypliny - 05/23/14 16:32
And let's not forget you messaged me advice about databases in the middle of the biking.

Borderline gimogulous == gimongously redonkulous

(E:Vincent) Buffalo doesn't, but Rochester has one that comes to the Food Truck Tuesdays at the History Museum sometimes. They even have a veg/vegan option that tastes amazing.

That looks great! I wish Buffalo had a chip/poutine truck.
