Just clicked the transfer button to finally fully pay-off our car. Feels very nice. Plus an extra $250.00 a month (unfortunately it will just go to other bills). This is the first time I've actually owned a car. Can't say I terribly enjoy it. A big hassle. Car payments, insurance, registration, shoveling/scraping... So annoying. I hope soon to live in a place with a viable public transportation system again. In Jena (Thüringen, Germany) there was an excellent system with buses/trains that ran 24-hours. In the day I never waited for more than 10-15 minutes, at night never more than 30. It was so good and regular that you didn't even have to know schedules, you just went to the nearest stop and knew that a bus/train would come within 10-15 minutes. Plus in the summer it was very bicycle friendly and small enough that you could get just about anywhere in less than 1/2 hour.

we are supposed to have a plow-service with this apartment. If we do have such a thing it has not been very active. The cars had a very difficult time getting out this morning. Where are you bozo?

Don't ever see One Hour Photo with Robin Williams, even if it's free from the library. In fact, maybe it's best to never see anything with Robin Williams...

Happy Day of Birthing to (e:paul)!!! [bgcolor]#000000[/bgcolor]

So obvious?!?

9:13 PM. I met (e:flacidness), but hours ago. He wasn't where expected to be. In the interim I replaced borrowed books and decided to learn a language, another stupid white language. Kennenlernen baby, aber nicht wirklich so. War ebenmals so dissatsifastisch gewroden. But the puppy was cute. Trying to think of now makes me wish for the good old days. Sweeping out the stable, and such.

When you forget to close the door behind you, does your aunt ask you,

"were you born in a barn!?!"

Mine does. I'm trying to resurrect the phenomenon, with heretofore little success.

Only 9:18, plenty of time for fun.

and no, I'm not talking about Condi!

And after buying all that Indian convenience food, we ended up actually using the recipe book and making some tasty Balti Chicken and curry vegetables (thanks (e:lilho) for your generous contribution, not to mention the dishes). Today I shoveled the new driveway for the first (last?) time. We've traded very wide for very long, I can't decide which one I prefer. Went skiing in the park today. It was like slogging through sand, and for the first time ever I actually slid backwards down a hill (3x). Hopefully once it sets, and some other enthusiasts get to it, it will be much nicer.
