Bad, better, best.
Bad News:
It is so cold outside that my windshield cracked. No pebbles, no bird strike, no emergency landing in the Hudson. It just went "crrrip" and there was a foot-long crack. At first I thought, "Wow, that's weird, this line-shaped object hit my window and got stuck!" Then I realized the line-shaped object was a crack, and it wasn't going anywhere. Also, both sides of the glass are completely smooth, so the crack is somewhere in the layers of glass. It's hard to tell from the photo, but the thin line without snow is the crack.
Great News:
The insurance is paying for it…and their "mobile glass unit" is going to replace the windshield while I'm at work, so I'm not going to waste a day at the garage. God bless you, car insurance! Still, I think I need a shaman to exorcize the evil demon that's possessed Lando. Get me Gary Oldman on the horn.
Best News:
(Apologize if this is redundant to you.) The votes from the yearly CD Game came in, and yours truly was ranked #1 overall! I think it's fitting because the tracklist reads like a Greatest Hits of every mix I've made since college. There are some "best of 2007/2008" on there, but it's mostly songs I've loved forever.
