It's Halloween Already?






So one of my favorite places to eat is Buffalo Joe's. Their chicken wings are unmatched (in my opinion).  They are small wings, but I like it that way and their sauce is the boss (sorry Sweet Baby Rays).  Wings with too much meat don't get enough sauce, it's basic physics (or geometry or something, shut up I've been out of school for 8 years).  I went there for dinner the other night, but not the usual one I go to (on Northwestern campus in Evanston). This one is on Howard Street.  The girl at the register was extremely nice, and of course, the food was great.  One funny thing I saw though, they had a sign that said "Bathroom Costumers Only." Now I know Halloween is right around the corner, but I didn't have a costume on.  Yet, no one said anything when I walked through the door to use the restroom.  Oh well.  Seems a little silly you have to wear a costume to use the bathroom, but their restaurant, their rules.

Next, the most poorly built door ever.  Now I could be way off base and maybe there is usually a dumpster there or something, but this looks like something you would use to haze new employees.  Or, it's a skateboard store and people launch into the alley.  Or, the store owner has really long legs and just kind of swoops down onto the street.  Either way, seems a bit out of place.  2013 project - Set up a camera outside of this door to see who comes out.  Hopefully it's a ninja or Harry Potter.  Hopefully.

Finally, been a rough 2 weeks at work.  Lots going on, things not always going my way despite me putting in a lot of time.  But, every now and again, you are reminded that Life Is Good.  Guess if you're rolling in a sweet Lexus SUV, life must be pretty good.  I hate you.

And an update on CSR Racing, the iPhone game I've been playing for a few weeks.  Although I almost had a nervous breakdown when I bricked my iPhone during the iOS 6 update, the nice people over at Natural Motion Games were nice enough to respond to my e-mail within an hour to help me get my cars, cash and gold back.  Anyway, after a lot of button pressing, nitrous upgrades, Cali-decal adding, and plain old fun, I'm one race away from completing everything in the game.  I still need to win a few of the regulation races (just play them whenever for cash) so I can upgrade my BMW Z4 GT3 enough to win that last race.  It will be a sweet, sweet victory, so yay to me.

So moral of the story? Wear costumes if you want chicken wings, build doors that make people fall on their faces, and don't even bother trying to beat me at CSR racing because my tier 5 half-mile time is ranked 51,000 out of 3,000,000.  Do all that, and you will be well on your way to koreanventing yourself.  Gangnam Style.
