New Car Time
Category: cars
I need a new car. Our car is ten years old. We treated it like crap and its totally not taking it anymore. In fact I don't think we every washed the inside which at this point is like haunted house dusty.

When we bought it, it was the most expensive thing we had ever purchased. For like two weeks we treasured it and then we bumped it the first time. After that it was always like the red-headed stepchild car.

Unfortunately, this is the worst time of year to go car shopping. Especially, considering our vehicle drinks about 1 gallon of coolant per trip, even in this extreme cold.

I wish car shopping involved no haggling. It always makes me want to kill the other person when there is wheeling and dealing involved.

Mezza Restaurant
Category: food
Mezza restaurant in the former Elmwood Soda shop location has some amazing food. I feel like this time it was even better than on previous visits. Their salads have the most delicious crunchy bits of pita and it is great for both carnivores and vegetarians.

I hope it breaks the curse on that location.

Roswell Recycling
Category: environment
So much for the recycling program. What we need is a recycling dumpster with the amount of cardboard this building outputs.

For a while there, I believed their recycling "efforts" but I don't anymore - and not just because of this post.

Hypothermia
Category: weather
At court the other day they had this 70s looking poster about hypothermia. I was surprised to see one of the ways to combat it was wearing proper night gear. You think that if your pajamas are your only source of defense you house is too cold and the pipes are gonna burst anyways.

I think people get hyperthermia waaay before it gets too cold for the pipes to burst.

Seabar Dinner
Category: food
(E:Matthew) and I went to dinner at seabar last night. It was supposed to be a quite and quick dinner but we ended up being there while they were filming a Time Warner commercial.

The oysters we so good. At the
end of our meal they ended up giving is a free bottle of wine which was nice but I got kind of tipsy drinking a bottle of wine over sushi.

That was way too much white wine and not enough oysters. I can't wait to be famous!
