snow idiots
first real snow fall and everyone turns into idiots. the last few hours at work we’re hearing all sorts of rumors about how awful it is outside. the GI bridges were closed because of a 10 car pile up (which was true i guess, but re opened by the time we got out at 4), that robert moses was closed (it wasn’t), so we’re all thinking its a blizzard, 6 inches of snow and ice. no. a dusting. light fluffy snow that blows off the car when you drive, no need to scrape. roads were a bit slippery, but it was no armageddon.
urbex
exploring sat did not go as planned…houdaille is now an EPA clean up site, cops drove by us before going to the orphanage, so in the end, the terminal it was…ug so boring lol. so i have no new pictures to edit or upload, the terminal is just not inspiring anymore. and it was very cold and dark.
never made it to the aud farewell party either. oh well.
watching the godfather on tv for the 10047th time, horse head part coming right up 🙂
new nin drummer is 20…he was 1 when pretty hate machine came out…trent could be his father. LOL!
the aud
2 articles showed up in the buffalo news about items stolen from the aud…being auctioned on ebay…and the city is mad. the first article said they wouldn’t go after the people selling these things that were obviously stolen, and new article today has the mayor asking people to turn their stolen aud items in to the police no questions asked. even goes as far as to say they’d look into the guy with the huge huge HUGE sabres collection who runs bleedblueandgold.com who is even displaying his stuff at the aud farewell this weekend.
here is a tip, if you don’t want stuff stolen from a building you all but forgot about the last 10 or so years, LOCK THE FUCKING DOORS!
holy!
The St. Louis Blues are responding to tight economic times with a fan bailout plan.
The team announced Monday that at every remaining Saturday home game beginning Nov. 29, the organization will call the seat number of a fan and pay that person’s mortgage or rent for four months, up to $4,000 total.
wow the sabres so need to do that too hahaha. then i could watch as someone buying our seats wins free mortgage payments!!
election night
it’s a sweet sweet night. i finally picked a winner.
and in the words of Hedwig Schmidt…”i feel so optimistic”
🙂
election day
so…a lot of people think, why vote, it doesn’t matter. and that may be true, especially for me in ny. it’s a blue state, it will continue to be a blue state so my vote for obama doesn’t matter all that much. but…in 10 years (3 presidents) of voting this is the first one that i’ve really felt was important. i certainly didn’t want to see bush win a 2nd time, but in the end it wasn’t exciting or interesting (frustrating maybe ha). but i’m actually really emotional about this election, people are so much more passionate about the candidates, and it’s clear the voter turn out is incredible. i think it’s a huge message that people want change…and whether you think that change is from obama or mccain, we still want it. that alone should send a message. such an important election, of course i hope it goes a certain way, but regardless…historic. it’s pretty amazing.
i voted at the old polling place with no problem. there were 5 districts voting in the same place, and i was #206 for my district. i had to wait 10 min or so, only because i was behind some senile old people (the one guy signed in to vote, and then got out of line. they asked him if he voted and he said yeah…then..oh yeah i have to go in the booth! wtf! then when he got in the booth he tried to get out without reopening the curtains and thus registering his choices hahaha). they said they had some lines earlier in the morning (i went around 2), and expect lines again from 5-7.
fingers crossed. i so don’t want to go to work!!
an aside…since i was a kid, i’ve been exposed to the big NY metal booths for voting, with the curtain to make it private, and the little levers to register your choices. seeing what other states use to vote, little tables with tiny little walls, the chads of florida etc…i’m so surprised that other voting methods are so old fashioned and archaic.
yup
want to clear up something on the boy post…just cuz i sorta like him, and even if he wasn’t a degenerate, i still don’t date. so it’s really not an issue, or a possibility, i just want to stop dreaming about him. they are not sex dreams or anything like that, they just bother me. the last one which he found amusing was that him and another guy from work came to hang out at my house but i lived in a toys r us, and we went on a swing set and someone started shooting red and blue paint balls at us. there’s another guy at work i think is cute, but he is chinese and i can’t understand a fucking word he says. he’s just nice to look at lol. i think he tried to ask me about atlantic city tonight, but i’m not entirely sure so i usually just laugh and nod and he does the same, cuz most of the time i don’t think he understands what anyone is saying either. and no more thought needs to go into this subject.
GO VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!
wow
i’ve seen alot of “worst album cover” pages before but my dad sent me one today with this gem i’ve never seen before. holy cow…
i got woken up today but a call from bob weir (i think) reminding me to vote, courtesy of headcount.org…and i thought…who is bob weir? isn’t he the grateful dead guy? yes, yes he is. and he totally sounded like an old 60s burn out ha. then i wondered how headcount got my phone number. i expected moveon.org to call cuz i sent them money and never got my obama buttons, but nope. headcount is apparently music based…”We were created in 2004 by a group of artists, music industry professionals and fans, all determined to make sure the live music community is well-represented at the polls.”
i can’t wait until tomorrow so i can go vote for my black communist secret muslim president! i am actually nervous about this election. it’s so weird!
Halloween
so…blah i like this boy at work. and it just can’t happen. too many problems. but i keep dreaming about him and it really needs to stop.
in the end, i only had 1 trick or treater so i’m very glad i didn’t go and buy more than one bag of candy. i didn’t carve a pumpkin but it got smashed anyway. there was quite a lot of pumpkin debris on the street when i got home from work. i ended up being michael jackson for halloween, i remembered i still had the thriller jacket at my parents house. it went over pretty well, though i was surprised at the number of people who didn’t know what i was…some people got it right away, and other people would ask if this was what i wore to NIN shows…um i think if i went to shows dressed as MJ i’d get beat up. i took some bad phone pics and threw them up on facebook. real cam pics turned out badly, and i didn’t feel like doing proper self portraits.
