In order to avoid the parking and "car" dependency issues that have arisen in the last little while (see previous posts) , I decided to walk today. After class it threatened to rain and threatend to snow. A UPS delivery truck drove by and delivered a Chinook wind to my specific sidewalk corner. I guess I should get used to walking about - as I don't plan to drive my "car" in NYC.

I've decided when I move to NYC that I will live off the island in Astoria or Long Island City, which oddly enough is not near Long Island. I guess it follows the long standing precedents set by Kansas City (not in Kansas but rather in Missouri, or as Shilpy calls it, Misery) and Washington, D.C. (not even remotely close to Washington State). Speaking of D.C. - someone has yet to explain to me this craziness of the District of Columbia. It is not a state, it is vaguely considered part of a few states, made up of a few cities and no one seems to deliver food anywhere in it ( I got put up there at a hotel after I missed my connection, lost my lugguage, was randomly selected for a full search, was misguided into believing my plane was delayed - all in the name of a beach vacation).

Grrr! of the Day:
In the naming of my blog, I attempted to poke fun at the obscure events that surely happen to me. Strangely, this has come back to bite me. Unfortuneately, I did not consider that people attempting to access the blog would find the name itself truely obscure and be unable to remember it or spell it for that matter. Of course, this is me having the hope that anyone actually reads this thing. The cobwebs for comments are rather disturbing.
