If you live in Buffalo, you must have been to Spar’s eh? Right? Cause its
like the best little meatshop on 405 amherst st. Picked these bratwurst up
last weekend, fresh and made with Flying Bison beer. You love Flying Bison
right? That fucking awesome brewery we have here? Well these bitches are
gonna stew in some more of that awesome beer till they’re ready to go down
into my tummy. Fuck yea. #snap
*sorry to my non Buffalo people, you won’t understand a word of this.
Look at these sexy, dirty, nasty, awesome clouds. We got absolutely
pummeled last night with thunderboomers… and looks like we’ll get another
shower tonight. Probably won’t be as bad, but hopefully enough to wash Caz
Park away. We’re not that lucky. #snap
I finally got a few hours to whip up some custom video for use in my
VJ rig. the first one up was a heart loop. I think its intended use
works well. #snap
I can’t go into Hero and think I won’t buy anything, especially when such a bad ass series like Futurama just dropped from the KidRobot heavens. And while I glimsped a peek at one of the chases (Slurms McKenzie), the jury was still out on what the second chase was. Today’s meander into Hero and Design Studio and Boutique was fortuitous; I snagged the second chase, who is none other than Sal.
I feel pretty gangster, but a litle bummed that Hermes or Proffessor Farnswuth, or Kiff didn’t make the series. Maybe there will be a second series… I can think of 12 more characters I want to see. For now, I’ve managed to snag Sal….
Morbo the Annihilator…
Nibbler ( I love the chicken but his Dark Matter Poo would have been the most awesome of accessories)…
And Phillip J. Fry.Sal is pretty sweet lookin, love his Bachelor Chow (pretty detailed graphic).
My G1 totin buddy Ethan Cox told me yesterday that his wife was getting T-mobile 3G bars over at Buffalo General Hospital. He didn’t have it, and a glance down at my device let me know I didn’t either. Today I was gallivanting about in Williamsville when 3G lit up for the first time. it kept kicking in and out then dropped to edge when I came in to Lancaster/Depew. Arriving home I’m back in the warm and battery draining embrace of 3G. This is right on schedule too. The MyTouch was just released, and August was about when I said it would turn on so I’m pretty happy.
Matt Groening teams up once again with Kidrobot to release his less mainstream, but just as awesome, Futurama characters in to vinyl. 12 three inch characters, two blindboxes, $8.99 (or something like that) at Hero Design studio and other Kidrobot retailers. Like right now. Mark and Beth totally let me get in after hours and get a peak at em, and I scooped up a few to start a collection I plan on finishing. I was really waiting for this series, well that and the new series of Futurama on Fox…. can’t wait for that either.
OK, maybe not so gingham.. close, but its a nice new shirt. Picked it
up from Angel as Sai One the other day (818 Elmwood ave in Buffalo),
and wore it right out the store. Anyways.. posting fell short the last
week or so… I apologize, the macbook getting replaced gave me an
unexpected vacation from the internet and I got a little lazy. back
into the game this week… #snap
Major Lazer just dropped the official video for “Pon de Floor,” tapping into the dancehall world for dancers. A tad bit NSFW, this video features a particular style of dancehall that involves grinding the absolute fuck out of your partner. It’s a bit absurd, as is the rest of the video, but pretty visual nonetheless. (via – Pitchfork TV) Edit – via nuffin. the video on Pitchfork TV was removed, but it dropped again yesterday on Vimeo.. where I found out it was directed by Eric Wareheim, of Tim & Eric Fame… werd.
I’m a little under resourced at the moment; the Macbook pro seems to be
having some Logic Board troubles. Took her to the Apple Store Friday when my
screen went white, and listened to a Genius tell me it was a hard drive
issue… I explained to him it boots, just can’t see anything. The "Genius"
then blamed it on the display, and ordered me a new one. I still insisted it
was the logic board, but seeing as there were backlight tears (from skylar
sleeping on the macbook) that weren’t covered… I didn’t mind the clamshell
replacement.
I have a new display and it still doesn’t work. And what do you know… it
was the logic board. I should be all restored and repaired by Wednesday;
glad I was able to get all this done before the one year. I might not have
to spring for Apple Care so soon after all.
The one downside was I lost all my stickers… the Obama sticker from when I
was doing election coverage with WNYMedia, a few MISHKA stickers, a photo of
Scranto and I ( never took it off after we broke up)… and some random pogo
prints… I’m not sure I’m gonna put stickers on it again. We’ll see. #snap
Oh Hai! I'm Nate and I live in the sometimes beautiful, always exciting, city of Buffalo, NY. I'm not too focused on this blog, but you'll probably end up reading something about Buffalo, my toy obsession, burly bears, club drama, Google Android, and some damn good music. This is my blog. Read it. Cheers.
