Bread is good

It is 75 degrees today in St. Louis. We have the windows open and it is actually hot inside. This is not how I remember March growing up, but then again, I could be getting senile, so don’t trust me.

Things are going much better at work these days. My boss has assigned the dreaded ‘phone duty’ to someone in my group. I don’t know how she won that prize, but I suppose I should just be glad that it wasn’t me. I am finally getting to do some design work instead of always working on user issues. Over the past 2 weeks I have been working solely in ASP.NET with C#, SQL Server, and Active Directory. I like this significantly more than what I was doing. Could I actually be considered a developer now? Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion.

Just to confirm that I am becoming an old cat lady, we are adding another cat to our arsenal this week. She is a rescue cat. She’s black and tan and has long fur. Well, to be truthful, currently she has short fur – they had to shave her because she was so matted when they found her. There have been rumors that I have a thing for bald felines, but let me assure you, my reading audience that this is most assuredly false. I think we get to take her home on Wednesday.

I may be in the market for a new car pretty soon. I just got back from the mechanic who told me that my rotors are warped again. Since I’m now fixing the same problems more than once a year, I think it may be time for this car to go the way of old yeller. Does anyone have any ideas about what kind of car I should get? I’m fairly cheap, but considering what I’ve gone through with this one, I’m happy to pay for quality. Any advice for buying a new car?

You could get an MK2 GTi and make me jealous. I just got a new Jeep from my mom w/ just under 60k on it... but you know I wound up with that because this is Maine and I need 4wd in order to make a living pretty much. I lusted after VWs (and Audis and BMWs) for a couple (8) months and then I took the great deal that gave me what I needed as horribly logical as it was.

My friend Ben from college had a rabbit with a half a million miles on the original engine. He owns like 10 or so now, though I don't know how many are inspected/registered/insured/running.

Short Bus Dubs is where I ask about cars. Of course they will only suggest VWs!

So, I bought a '05 Camry. It's motherfucking RELAIBLE. I'd go with the Corolla: it's a nice small, reliable car that gets super amazingly good gas mileage.

You majorly suck at the whole blog thing! Anyway, do you need anything you can only get in New England that we can bring you? Eliz mentioned a random pasta, but I figure I'd ask you directly.

Nice!! I would LOVE to get an electric drumset. Currently, the only drumming I do now is on the kitchen table.

I'm sure that my fellow apt dwellers wouldn't really like to hear my beatz at 3:00am, because that's when the best ones come.

Let me know if/when you get it. I played one at a music store once, and almost couldn't leave without it. The price tag helped me leave.
