notes from the northeast

- the weather has been a bitch the last few days! it's raining like it's the beginning of spring! flood warnings are out and in place in most of the New England area.. it's pretty chilly too, and i'm not happy at being compelled to be wearing clothes at home! besides the rain has been curtailing all my plans of going grocery shopping and maybe going out to catch a beer or three!

- the World Cup is on with a vengeance, and even though i should be able to catch most of the matches, it's becoming difficult to sit through all three games a day after being at work for some 10-11 hours! i do need my beauty sleep, so i catch my winks between slower phases in the game and in between matches

- i've been taking full advantage of Skype's free computer-to-phone thingy inside the US & Canada the last few days. anyways my Sprint phone never has any signal indoors, so i am doing all my catching up on the phone using Skype, and the quality is quite excellent! add me (id=soraystud) if you're on it too..

- spoke to the local Scion dealer about the latest model Scion tC.. he says the bigger better model should be out in early 2007, and it's worth waiting for! so for now i'll do my bit for the environment and keep my bicycle, but will get my tC baby and let 'er rip!
