Everywhere for everyone

Tickets to see BNL have now been purchased (thanks to Laura). I'm pretty excited about this. It's the first time that I have actually gone to see them live. They are one of those few bands that (I don't think) have not gotten too big for their shoes. They seem to be very down to earth guys. ;-)

The weather here today was really slipperly. It took me a while to get in, but thankfully after about 1/2 way, the bus driver is the one worrying about traffic, not me. But that's not before I almost got taken out by a car close to my house. We were headed toward each other on a turn, both using more of the center of the lane than we should have been. The other guy (or girl, I didn't stop to check) were going way too fast for the conditions. I have new snow tires, I was going really slow, and I still found it slick. Anyways, when I saw them coming, I moved totally into my lane (and I could do so because I was going slow). They tried to move into their lane but they ended up spinning out. I am just glad that they didn't hit me. I stopped and checked that they didn't actually ditch it, and then just carried on. They can turn their own car around.

  1. Still driving in eh? is this just a contract position that you got? or is it permanent. If it's permanent you should probably look into getting an apartment downtown. You'll save a lot of time travelling. I don't know how you do it.

  2. Right now I am on contract, but my boss promises to start the paper work for a "term" position as soon as the freeze is over.
    And it would have made more sense to get a place downtown when I was going to school. Now I am traveling during working hours, I can get there and back pretty fast (relitively speaking). Like dive + bus in TRAFFIC takes 45 minutes (usually), while just driving down would take about 30-40 minutes, no traffic. God, I love the transit way.
