I get to bring the car in for it’s 90,000 mile maintenance. This one is a major maintenance for my car, so I figure I should get it done. And since I didn’t do it at 60,000. I was in the process of moving to MA around then so it just kind of slipped my mind.

I love my car, I have to say that it has been a wonderful car for me. It took me across the country when I moved here. Despite it’s little dents all over it keeps on running and getting me where I need to go with pretty decent milage. It’s a ’95 Nissan 200SX, and I hope I’m able to keep it for at least a while longer.

My friend Lyn writes about not being sure what she wants her blog to be about.  I think this is one of the aspects of blogging I find frustrating too.  I fluctuate between wanting to babble endlessly about my life and wanting to have something of ‘substance’.  In the end I think it all boils down to this blog being bits and pieces of my life, complete with all my silly thoughts.

I also have to agree with her on the main character from .hack//SIGN.  I keep hoping for a bit more from this show.  Right now I’m watching because I want to figure out the mystery.  I figure either they’ll come up with something that makes me go “wow! what an original idea!” or “AUGH, well that whole thing was a waste of time.”

I woke up about 4:30 this morning and got all cranky because I realized that I had two choices. I could either crawl back into bed and try to sleep another hour or crawl back into bed and just slowly wake up. I decided for the second, since I want to get into work early today (and the first would mean I’d actually sleep another few hours and get into work late). On the plus side, I have a massage appointment tonight. It feels quite needed.

I’m looking for some more Jazz to put into my CD collection. Anyone have any good recommendations? I think I just need to go to Amazon and just start playing track samples.

I remember as a kid running around playing things like cops and robbers during recess.  Looks like even that isn’t allowed anymore.  I’m sorry, but the world just keeps going more and more insane.  I think my favorite part of the article is:

 Even without the school policy, zero tolerance is the law in Colorado, considered at the forefront of the movement. Colorado law mandates expulsion for students who “carry, bring, use or possess a firearm or firearm facsimile at school.”
     Nowhere does the law mention fingers, but Mrs. Mickle said the conduct code gives administrators the latitude to deal with problems as they arise. “It’s definitely not spelled out in the district discipline policy because we can’t predict what every student is going to do,” she said. “That’s what we’re here for: to interpret those details.”

Those damn finger guns.  I think we now need to just chop off kids fingers if they ever point them like a gun.

A week or so ago i got a note from the Electric Company that there would be about a 15 minute interruption of service sometime between friday night and monday morning. No problem I thought.

Well, this morning I woke up at 8am. Not because of an alarm or anything, I just happened to wake up. Probably the sounds of traffic outside. It seems that sometime during the night they’d flipped the power. Did they have to wait till the time when nobody would notice in time for work the next day?

It’s a rainy spring day out today. When i woke up it was overcast and by noon it was raining. Days like this always just suck all the energy from me. I want to crawl back into bed and do nothing. So today I did just that. It was quite nice.

Now it’s four o’clock and I still feel all lazy. I’m not sure how I want to end out the day. I’m thinking I might be in the mood for a little bit of sushi tonight. Though the idea of leaving the house makes me go bleh.
