today i got to drive my dad's corvette. dad never lets anyone drive his corvette. it's a 2002, bright red one, with a t-top. it is so powerful. i couldn't believe it. it drives so much differently than i expected. it's a rough ride, and it vibrates your butt. i can't decide if that is a good thing, or a bad thing. i also drove his jag XK8 convertable. i think that one is a 2000 or 2001. i know it's not old. it is such a smooth ride. you could have both windows down driving 70 mph … [Read more...]

i've started knitting a scarf for the rocker's mom for christmas. i'm using homespun yarn, k3 p3 pattern. it's really lovely. i'm also knitting the hoover blanket for missey andrea's bump. it's going to be yellow and white. it is hard work, but it is going to be beautiful. i also think i'm going to try and knit a couple of scarves for get crafty's scarf drive. i've got some nice left over yarn out in the garage... i've been wondering what to do with it... now i know. i think that … [Read more...]

i can not tell you how absolutely disappointed i am in the state of california today. i understand that gray davis may not have been the best man for the job when things started to go downhill. i understand that he did not deal with the energy crisis early enough. i understand that he, as a governor, is being blamed for things that were not necessarily under his control. the voters in the state of california are nortorious for voting things into law without thinking about what is going to … [Read more...]

ok, so i get to vote tonight after work. for the record, i'm voting no on the recall and yes on bustamonte (don't have to spell it right to vote for him). i think this whole recall business is silly. california doesn't have the money to pay for the recall, and yet the idot republicans paid like .09 a signature to get it on the ballot. and they say that democrats are spending money they don't have. how do the republicans think california is going to pay for this recall? i just hope all the … [Read more...]

YEAH RIGHT! i got in my car this morning (just a bit late as usual), to go get my boss, and drive to work. i should have known. you would think that after 3 mornings straight of am excitement, i would have been prepared for this morning. i was not. i was not prepared. i pulled out of my driveway, noticing nothing. i get to the stop sign and i'm hearing a bit of a noise, but it was no big deal. i make my turn, and on to the next stop sign... i then make my turn, and i'm hearning this … [Read more...]
