Just got back. Quick recap:

Did wind up going to Santa Cruz. Went *right* past the Boardwalk Bowl, too, which made me feel kind of like a jerk for telling Lilli I couldn't make it. I didn't want to impose on my buddies, though.

Apart from that shortcoming, I had a swell time. I finally got to take my new car over Highway 17, and...

Today was tiring, but pretty good.

I think I'm going to the coast Sunday. Anyone wanna come with?

Following up on my last blog, I'm thinking that "bad word" censorship is stupid and pointless. Here's the original video:



Kinda amusing if you like muppets. I do, so I enjoy that. Here's the "censored" version:



Notice how you automatically put the bad words in, even though they were never there to begin with? The meaning is there without the specific word. The beeping...

Can't..... stop..... laughing......

As part of an ongoing campaign to prove that I'm not actually all that cranky, today was pretty nice, too. I drove around a lot in my new baby, and then I came home and played, um.... a driving game (Burnout Paradise) with some online people I know. So it's been a car-centric day. I kind of wanted to see a local band I like...

Things are really going pretty well for me, yet I'm feeling a bit down and frustrated this evening. Maybe it's the weather. It's amazing how easy it is to feel sorry for myself, while simultaneously knowing how good I have it. How is it that I manage to believe two contradictory things? A = A. Neat trick, huh?

Feeling better now. Now...

And today I'm home sick. Bleah. But it's as good a reason as any to get that last entry off the top of my blog. Have fun at work everyone! I'm gonna be here, comfy in my bed..... and coughing up a storm. What a trade-off.

Hm. I meant to go car-shopping this weekend, but first I'd really like to see what would happen to me insurance wise depending on which car I go with. I figure there's about a 70% chance of me coming home with a car after a test drive, so I'd better get my shit in order first.

At least I know my limitations.

First entry of the new year! I actually have no idea what this is going to be about as I start. Hmm.

See, the weather's..... not actually "nice" today, but better. It's not raining, but the cloud layer is making it warm enough to sit outside. As it happens, something I really enjoy on a Sunday afternoon is sitting outside at this coffee shop, writing...

Happy day-after, everyone! (What do they call it in Canada? "Boxing Day" or something? )

I gots a shiny new phone. Gadgets make me happy.

I was planning to spend Saturday in either Santa Cruz or Half Moon Bay, but the forecast has rain in it. That doesn't sound particularly relaxing.

Ah, well. The beach will still be there some other weekend.
