Ewww Buffalo
Category: canadians
Amazon screwed up my order and my hopes of having a data center up and ready this weekend were dashed. I started searching for places to buy a tower case in buffalo when I came across this gem, where someone was asking where there was a computer store in the area.

Eww Buffalo... I live only 40 minutes or so from the border, but I don't care for Buffalo. Except for the Walden Galleria... Forget Buffalo. --    [Computer Stores in Buffalo NY?: post #8] emachado99



I love how the Galleria is somehow an acceptable place but the rest of the city is terrible. And this is from July of this year.

There are an awful lot of ignorant people out there, and lots of people who put other people and places down so they can feel better about their own deal. I wouldn't give much thought to this person's statement, but since we're talking about it, I'd guess this is someone who drives past Buffalo in the Thruway and never even stops in the city. Anyway, it's his (or her) loss; people who are so quick to judge things, and be negative, are the ones who miss out on the best in life.

Undressed Up As A Statue
Category: halloween
We had the craziest party I have ever been to in my life. There were at least 100 people.

The DJ was awesome. The dancing was awesome. So many hot people. Great snacks and free flowing drinks.

Unfortunately, I have none of my own pictures because I shut my phone off and put it away as the party started to avoid breaking my new phone.

At the last minute I decided to be the character in some statue my great aunt gave my parents in the 70s. It sits in my fireplace now.

I don't know if the character is supposed to be Bachus/Dyonisis or someone at a festival for him. At first everyone thought I was pan or satan but I was neither.

In the statue he had a pelt for an outfit and then a secondary pelt thrown over his shoulder with feet on the ends. We hunted down some stuffed animals to make the outfit a reality. At first all I found was this Rudolph at a thrift store but I think the look on his face was too much to pelt him and besides his hooves were too small, so I threw him back and we took the teddy bear instead.

I was messaging (e:carolinian) saying Dude you wouldn't ever believe what's going on. It was beyond cool as the best part was the although it seemed like insane there was still a core of common courtesy and decency with everyone there. Plus I even had an old friend of mine run into me which was a very pleasant surprise.

Nice Photos in those it seems to have a different feel if that makes any sense the Buffalo one
tinypliny - 10/26/14 23:41
These are SUCH lovely pictures!!

And since you are contrasting - how is Pittsburgh's botanical garden better than Buffalo's? :)
