no
I have to spend the weekend with (e:Anne) watching my cousins. It's only Saturday afternoon, and we have both come to the conclusion that we are NEVER EVER EVER EVER having children. I mean, seriously give me one good reason. There are enough people in the world. Children are expensive. By the time I retire I will have had hundreds of students aka children I am somewhat responsible for. I enjoy sleeping and weekends. The only reason I may feel bad about not having children is that my parents may never have grandchildren, but is that really a good reason to have children? Seriously. Call me selfish but I am NEVERRRRRRR having children.

That is a responsible decision, not a selfish one.

Maximus
I got a kitty. He was a stray. My friend found him while she was camping. His name is Maximus. I don't like cats, and I will never claim to be a cat person. Yet somehow in the last year, I have met two cats whom I have very fond of. Strange world.

Google Maps = more stalkerish than ever!
So Google is constantly evolving and dazzling and amazing me. But this is crazy! I was browsing some addresses on Google Maps and I found out that not only when you google an address, it gives you a street view of the address...


image

But now if you click where it says Street View, you can look at a picture of the house and the entire street!


image

How freakin cool! I looked at my parent's house and it has my parents newest car, so the pictures must be somewhat recent. Go check it out!

(Apologies to 24 Linwood for stalking you) :)

My landlord is in the street view in front of his house.

Hehehe... My brother and I were are on google maps walking toward Delaware down West-Ferry from the Elmwood-West-Ferry Crossing, carrying a humongous La Nova Pizza box. :) Talk about being caught on camera! Buffalo was mapped last fall (around labour day).

Yea, this is helpful when shopping for houses, that's what I'm using it for :) Try going up Elmwood or Allen and see if you recognize anybody. It is a little freaky though, gotta admit.

Hi everyone. I guess it actually hasn't been THAT long since I posted but it feels like a long time. (e:Mike) 's entry made me feel like a bad person since I haven't updated! I'll try harder next time. I just got back from six weeks of living in Chicago working on my Master's. I'll be back the next two summers. The program was really awesome and I learned soooo much stuff. But I missed lots of things here so it was nice to come home. I'm currently being a bum, avoiding school planning as long as possible. I slept in till 11:30 today. Holy crap, that is late. Anywhoooo...what a boring entry, but I feel a little better since I used to be a fairly avid poster (ha) and I have slacked off for toooooo long. BYE!

It feels like a long time because it has been 4 months, based on the date of the last post listed. But time is all relative. Sometimes there is nothing to share or anything to write about. Sometimes there isn't time to read and write blogs.
