Bourdain digs Buffalo

feedmittens — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 13:23:05 +0000

I read this quick snippet in the Buffalo News today:

“Off Main Street: Bourdain’s ‘weirdly wonderful’ Buffalo

The offbeat side of the news

Anthony Bourdain, host of “No Reservations” on the Travel Channel, has seen the world. Guess which northeastern city has earned a place in his heart?

In an interview with DCist, a blog based in the nation’s capital, Bourdain said his view of those of us who live somewhere in New York other than Manhattan has evolved in the past 10 years. He said he particularly likes Buffalo.

“Now I see it as a very distinct personality, a very distinct culture with its own architecture, its own kinda feel,” he said. “It’s, actually, a weirdly wonderful place. Even in winter. I think it took me traveling around the world to get to that point.”

Buffalo: Weirdly wonderful. It kind of works.

Bourdain is my freaking hero.

Haven’t been here in a while.

Testing this post to see what condition this blog is in.

Belle & Sebastian – “Fox In The Snow”

Another Fung Wah crash, but this time it wasn’t their fault!

Despite the ride being OHMYGODHOLISHITIMGONNADIE-ish sometimes, I do love riding the Fung Wah. It’s cheap, and it works. The company has had some accidents.

This time though, they’re getting really bad press for something that had nothing to do with them (allegedly – maybe they were parked wrong or something). I have sympathy for the dead and the injured, but I wish the press would stop portraying this is something that was somehow the fault or responsibility of the Fung Wah bus.

Why, you ask, did I choose this tidbit to blog about? Honestly, I don’t really care about the incident as much as I wanted to test this blog’s ability to interface with FaceBook, and just to write something, as I’m out of practice.

America The Wasteful

feedmittens — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 01:17:43 +0000

I hate waste. No, really, we’re such a rich society and we’re totally wasteful. The packaging that everything comes in. The uneaten food. The waste I see everywhere. It’s so annoying.

Bloggish Day

With the recent purchase of LiveJournal by that weird Russian conglmerate and other changes on that side, I may start putting the bulk of my stuff here. Hehe: “bulk of my stuff”. Anyway, I added a link to my Yelp profile to the links on this page. It’s a great site for reviews of restaurants and other businesses.

Going to try to get my last.fm list up here as well.

Blog update

feedmittens — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 20:09:54 +0000

I added the FeedBurner link to the left. Makes it easy to subscribe to the blog and for me to see who is doing so.
I want to see if there is a way to make the main page of the blog only show certain categories. Anyone know how to do that?

This is SO much easier than LJ, but I miss the ‘community’ aspect already. I have no idea what to do.

Today’s nerdchallenge

Today I will be wrestling with an 800mhz TiBook G4 that I picked up off the CraigsList yesterday. The CDROM / DVD drive seems to be dead, I can’t get it to boot properly off an external USB CDROM, and I don’t have any firewire installs or other macs to xfer the OS from. I’m going to try to see if a Co-Worker brought her MacBook to work and try to install OSX from there onto my iPod, then boot the TiBook to the iPod, THEN hook back up the external USB cdrom and install the OS from there to the internal Mac hard drive that I replaced with a new one.

This is fun. Oh, and I finally broke down and bought a $15 Torx set from Radio Shack, which is really nice.

Test post!

Let’s see if this is any better than Movable Type and LJ.

Need to add length to the page.
