Bike season
Category: bikes
I am so out of biking shape ;(. Bike butt has been obliterated and replaced with one of a programmer. Now that the roads are ice free I'm back on it and I am in love all over again.

I don't care if it's still cold I'm trying to ride every day now. No way am I going to be slow on a bike this summer.

Broadway Market with Masumi
Category: buffalo
The morning after we headed out to the Broadway market with (e:uchina). It was pretty bumpin. A lot of the food seemed good but a there was a whole bunch of grandmay knick knacks. Signs telling you to stay out of "mom's cave" etc. We got some treats and really amazing tangelos that were a fifth of the coop price.

The highlight was seeing my old boss there with his family. I actually forgot his name and somehow (e:terry) remembered later. He told me knew I would land on my feet after I left right after I left. I don't know why but it felt good - probably because I love my new job a million times more.

I never knew butter lambs came in two poses - head-turned and straight-face. I think the head turned is way cuter. That's a lot of freaking butter though

Two creepy rabbits, one swallowing (e:paul). It kind of reminds me of the Jones Pond furry.

Dirty dancing
Category: dancing
We went to the Igloo warehouse rave with (e:uchina). Thankfully there was no starer this time.

It was still fun but definitely not as crazy as the last one. House music isn't really my thing - no drum and bass second story like before. I still got a ton of dancing in, just more work.

Maybe we should have gone crazier because this time we saw how disgusting the warehouse was. From the Union Carbide barrels warning of formladehyde ((e:paul,59916)) to the mysterious floor goop, to the chain-smokestacks I felt like we were going to end up with black lung.

Third world buffalo
Category: environment
We went with (e:uchina) to brunch at Panos. On the way in, we noticed Elmwood smelled like sewage, which is nothing new. On the way out we noticed their rain gardens and sewer intakes were literally spitting out sewage all over the street. notice the toilet paper.

Yeah they already tore up half the rain gardens and replaced them with porous bricks. I feel like there's too much trash and garbage in Buffalo to keep them clear and no one to clean it up.

I can't really look but I think those rain gardens where a bad idea what is summer 3 out of 12 months and I bet they make snow removal tough .... I didn't know about the sewage smell but that is out of control there ...

There was seriously toilet water running down the streets.

Luck of the Irish

(e:terry) got the Lloyd's St. Patrick's day discount for being a ginger.

Well, ginger or just cute?

First of all Lloyd's is awesome they really are I think it is great that he got the discount cause to me he doesn't look like a Ginger not read hair and not pale enough... That though just makes it better .....
