New Skateland Buffalo sucks - Thanksgiving EveCategory: going out
Thanksgiving eve, we went out with Jeremy to the Well Rounded People's roller skating party, and then to the Give Thanks and Rave event at Milkie's.
The roller skating was great. The music was good and we saw tons of people there. (e:paul) and I were entranced by a long haired, roller skating Jesus - I wish I were a tenth as good as he was. He could skate backwards, on one leg, on two wheels, in spirals and every combination at 10x the speed of everyone else. It was really magical to watch.
(e:terry) is still the best skater I know - by the end could skate backwards. Maybe we can practice ice skating this winter.
My take on the event was soured by a fucking ridiculous old man who checked out lockers for Skateland (you can read about the conversation at (e:paul,59625)). I walked into the conversation a little after (e:paul) did - exactly in time to hear him refer to lesbians as "cats fighting for a rose on a silk blanket" and gay men as "two dogs fighting". Almost glad I wasn't around to here his suggestion about sending gays to an island. I had to walkout because I couldn't even process what i was hearing.
I found it disgusting as Skateland's unsprayed shoes that anyone thinks that way and it makes me never want to go there again. Even if you think that, why do you ever think this is okay to say to your customers?
Anyway, after we headed home to sterilize ourselves from the roller rink, it was off to Milkie's (with the bear costume). The music for the most part was good - a lot of drum and bass and hardcore. Lindsay even joined us for a bit. The sound wasn't too loud and we got a ton of dancing in.
We left just in time to leave the death metal EDM and get some Lloyd's. All in all a good night.

Leaky roofCategory: house
After the entire fiasco with trying to find a get a contractor to work on our garage roof, we thought we were finally done when we got Naples to do it. Unfortunately the vents they put in are leaking when it snows already.
Its only on one vent and its a ton of water, so I'm guessing there's no flashing on it. They better come back and fix it. Maybe they could finish off the car as well.

I still can't believe it already leaks. Now that our neighbors down the street are building the exact A frame I wanted, I wish we could just start over before I ever called Naples.

Push ups for the whole familyCategory: working out
(e:Paul) downloaded a push app for his phone that trains you to do 100 push ups. Of course I can't let him do any excercise that I can't do so I downloaded it too. Now (e:terry) has it.
We'll all have the biggest, furriest moobs if we keep this up.

The app itself isn't the greatest but it gets the job done.
I'm sure you can build up to 10 in no time!

Dammit. Can you post the link to the app? I want to at least be able to do 10.
