"imitation is the sincerest form of belittlement" -me =)
also, i've just accepted a 10hour day, 4 day workweek. sunday - wednesday, 7:30 - 6pm. I'll value that half hour in the morning. it'll be warmer out, brighter out, people will be more awake (i hope) If I work this right, I won't ever need to drive except in the winter time. (except for that cello... hmm maybe I can make thursday, friday, saturday my karate and cello practice days and leave the thing in manchester!) I must think more on this.
and buy this
jacket and get my butt outside. Called REI, the webpage says they are unavailable, but the reading store has one! holding in my name! yay! 20-30% off winter gear, maybe i can get some new padded shorts... time for karate!
