Oh, awesome! Thank you! I'm at work and on a PC right now, but when I go home at 8 I'll be hard at work trying to figure everything out... I know I'll have more questions for you!
also, over dinner i mentioned your plan to mal and she got really excited. you should for sure come the weekend fp is here! we will have a massive fun party.
I saw your post in the Mac group about insurance. The Apple extended warranty was way pricey and I actually didn't even have enough room left on my credit card for it, anyway, after I bought the Macbook. Can you recommend a decent provider?
But he might not be taking any more parts, thanks to my super new security system: a sheet of notebook paper with "PARTS THIEF - YOU ARE BEING WATCHED!" scrawled in black sharpie and left on my windshield. Never underestimate the power of paranoia!
Maybe it would help if I started going out and buying tamales from the woman who pushes the tamale cart in the evening. Everyone in the neighborhood goes out and buys tamales. Maybe we should too? Tamales are gooooood... and Bean and I speak enough spanish to ask for the kind we want..
I believe I said that I adore this weather. Meaning the weather that we have. Both the rainy days, of which there are plenty, and the non-rainy days, which are beautiful.
I don't really give a damn about your statistical bullshit. I love the weather that we have, and I love living in my city, and people who want to whine about it, and people who want to throw around statistics just to look like arrogant asses can all go fuck themselves as far as I'm concerned.
oh you and your list-making council. fie upon you both.
i am definitely going to have to start finding SOME way to look at airports, because i'm going to be spending so much god damn time in them.
i am really finding the same time zone thing great! when we talked a lot while i lived in calgary it was kind of a bummer always having to adjust times, even if it was just an hour.
josh-and-chelsea-across-the-street are formerly of the pussay palace! one thing that also may intrigue you is a last name from the native reserve i grew up near: standingontheroad. no hypens but still impressive.
i don't like non-rainy places! when i lived in calgary, my skin hurt SO much. i have eczema pretty much everywhere but in the aridity my hands would crack and swell and bleed...it was not pretty, not to mention quite painful. i can't knowingly put myself through that again. san diego is nice and all, but it's dry like calgary, so it kind of is struck from my list of places to live, though i suppose i haven't told anyone but you that.
then back to the states... and now back in canada again. 
And yeah, I'm sure I will need a Mac tutor! It's all very foreign thus far. What's up with Safari? Is that all good, or do I want to download Firefox?
