sad but true the lovely bernadette is looking for a new home with a new mom. and now I'll share with you, gentle reader, a bit about her life:

Bernadette was born august 10th 2006. She has no history of any illness or infections and is up to date on all her shots as of february 20th 2009. She still has all her claws, enjoys wellness brand weight management cat food, and visits the Ellicott Small Animal Hospital yearly. Her hobbies include sleeping, sitting, and playing with strings.

I adopted her from the Buffalo Animal Shelter at PetSmart in February this year... I'm so bummed about letting her go, but if there is someone with a genuine interest, that would be able to keep her for the rest of her sweet little life I would be so happy.

Never a mew mew out of her mouth unless she's hungry, and never ever a claw or scratch to a person. Raised an indoor lady, and seems to like it that way. Fans of Bernadette say she is fluffy and cuddley. Critics can only say she is a bit overweight.

She does occasionally scratch my sofa, but I must admit, I never trained her properly. I did recently buy a spray bottle to give her a quick mist down if she acts up. Based on her history, I'm convinced she'll learn quickly and be a better cat in no time.

That's all we have to say about Bernadette.

no... this is all we have to say:

The Leonid Meteor Shower Simplified

2009-11-15T13:06:00.005-05:00

Prime viewing of the Leonid Meteor Shower as seen from the northeast United States will be on tuesday the 17th of November from 3:30am -5:30am in the dark southeastern sky. As compared to the 500 meteors/hour, expected to be seen from central and eastern Asia, our more modest viewing of a few dozen meteors/hour will still be impressive as meteors are expected to trail for a number of seconds, possibly even minutes.

For more information please visit the following website:

Sick of your same old wardrobe? Empty out your closet of all those sucky clothes and bring them in to trade for something new. (Clean and gently worn clothes and accessories only)

Earn a ticket for every item contributed, and turn those tickets in for new items at the end of the night.

Rules of the swap:
-swappers earn 1 ticket per item contributed
-all items will be showcased for 1 hour, while swappers scope things out and sip sangria.
-when the swap opens, swappers grab what you like and try not to start fights
-turn in your tickets with the "cashier" at the end of the night.
-go home with a new bundle of joy and a bit of a buzz

did I mention there will be sangria!?

some jackass is trying to scam all of elmwood with fake 5, 10, and 20 dollar bills. we sorta busted him yesterday with a crappy 20.

be on the look out for this man:

his money is phoney baloney and he kind of looks like ryan miller.
if you see him... pee on him, or call the coppers... that's a federal offense. (both the peeing and the counterfeiting)

2009-05-20T12:39:00.009-04:00

this morning I hoofed around the west side and came upon urban roots, buffalo's inner city community garden center located on the corner of w. utica and rhode island.

urban roots is a gardeners utopia in the midst of one of the more dilapidated parts of the city. Amazingly friendly staff, gorgeous variety of flowers, trees, shrubs, and vegetables plus all types of gardening equipment. I seriously was walking around getting a teary eyed.

at just three weeks old, is neighbor five points bakery. a completely beautiful bakery and cafe that made me want to jump behind the counter kneed some bread dough. I didn't sample any of the wares, but they looked pretty darn tempting.

please do yourself a service and pay these stores a visit.
