A month since my last update? Really? Probably cause they want to charge me $90 a month for high speed internet. I know, I know, I'm a webdesigner...it's a business expense... but I'm recently $500 short thanks to old man winter.

How can I blame winter for this? Well, let me explain.

It is exactly 1 month until my lease on my Subaru is over. I made my last payment today. My last insurance payment went through on Friday. Of course I had been planning on buying my car, but it now seems unlikely. You see, I parked my car Thursday night in front of my building. There is only one area to park, so no I could not have parked it anywhere else.

I was bringing in my groceries when I heard a lovely, "CRASH" followed by my car alarm blaring. I looked out the window of my apartment and saw some snow had fallen off the roof of the building. I blew it off. 20 minutes later I was leaving to return some movies, walk up to my car and the feeling of exasperation took over. My entire windshield had been shattered but not caved in, leaving my rear view mirror hanging about 4 inches from my steering wheel.

You wouldn't think this would be too terrible; except, upon further inspection I came to discover the roof of the car was also bent in. I was informed that if there is any structural damage to my car, it will be considered totaled. I find out in the morning...... Fingers crossed. X.

In the mean time, I'm walking..... everywhere. At least it is keeping me from any spur the moment McDonald's trips.

On an entirely different note. I have purchased knee pads and padded shorts. Of course I don't expect the knee pads to do too much, but they also work as a knee brace and cover my shins. I have an unexplainable ability of smashing my shins into boxes--I thought only snowboarders did this, but apparently I do as well.

Also, the US qualifiers for the Olympics just happened. It was really neat to watch. Run after run of backside 9's... even from the women. I'ld have a way better update on this except for the fact that I worked at solid 60 hours last week and only saw 1 day of the competition.

More coming Thursday.... Got me a free Conture HD camera to try out :)
