Cut It Out!
 Well, I've picked a picture (#9) then printed and mounted myself on Friday. Today I got my bike tweaked at the bike store (it was locking up the chain now and then) and then biked to work in the most perfect weather. Now I'm going to sit at a picnic table under a 100 year old copper beach and cut out my cardboard self. I really couldn't complain at all... Well, ok, I could complain. The house closing was supposed to be the 7th but got pushed off to the 14th and now the selling bank/lawyer thinks they'll have to put it off again... grrr... I really have a bunch of stuff that needs to be done before winter and would really like to close soon! But, besides that, life is good. :) |

Google Wuz Here!
Google recently street viewed a lot of the pioneer valley. Northampton isn't as covered as South Hadley but definitely interesting... Nasty Long LinkEDIT: The photos seem to be from mid-October 2007. I looked at my old house and I can see the Prius in the driveway but the new door is already installed. |

w00t!
Biked to work this morning. Got up at 7am, figure I'd get to work by 8:30am. I primed my bike last night and figured I'd be fine. Front tire was not only flat but the tube and the valve stem had totally separated. I guess the 110psi overnight caused a blow-out. Changed the tire half asleep and was on the road by 7:30. Didn't get to work until 8:45. Pretty bad time for 13ish miles (trip commuter battery also needs replacing). It was a bit cold, but still I feel pretty good. :) I passed a peddle person on the bike trail. She gave a kind but condescending look, I figure I probably looked pretty frozen at that point because I hadn't warmed up. I think she was saying yeah its cold, but this is nothing, I work year round. |

Rockwall Climbing?
So, I finally broke down and got a membership at NAC. Anyone interested in being my rock climbing buddy on their rock wall? Definitely no experience required, I went several years ago before Kiwi moved :( but never got better then doing the easy ones. Probably due to my total lack of upper-body strength... Anyway, I always found it lots of fun even if I'm too weak to be very good... |

Mega Update
Thanks to a lot of help from friends, we moved our stuff over the last two weekend and now live in Florence! We haven't had much time to actually unpack much but the new place is nice. Linus is settling in nicely, Chasey not so much. She spends a lot of the day (and night) whining and is so far refusing to use the litter box. I'm not sure what to do about this yet. I really think rt9 is too busy a road to let her out but she seems very unhappy and the neighbors cat seems fine outside. I guess we lived on rt7 growing up which was even more busy and had outdoor cats. Anyway, I think we'll just try to give her more time to adjust for now. The house closed today. That was unfortunately exciting. The buyers real estate agent took it upon herself to charge us an extra $500 (well, it started at $800) for cleaning. Her arguments were mostly extremely silly. I'm not sure in whose world leaving a plate of cat food, a few bottles in the town owned recycling container and not having moped the kitchen floor are worth $500, nor were they required by the sale seems that said "broom clean". I took pictures of the house before I left and everyone who saw them says it looks fine. Heck a cleaning service wouldn't charge anything close to $500 to list of complaints she had. Anyway, it seems somehow my lawyer and the buyers real estate agent hate each other and were just looking to fight. This story has a lot more details, none of them that interesting. Long story short, I'm out $500, everyone seems upset about it and is blaming everyone else but yet I'm still the one paying. Oh well, gotta keep it in perspective with the big picture. House sold for a decent price in a short period of time in a bad market, got check and it cleared. On the buying front, we did a home inspection on the place in Northampton. We still really like it but it has major problems, knob and tube electrical, asbestos, etc. We ended up revising our offer and offering less then he owes the bank. Its likely a dead deal but I guess he is still interested in selling if he can talk the bank into covering part of the loss (he is close to foreclosure I suspect). Even so, we are basically assuming this deal is dead, because otherwise we'd get our hopes up. What else? Work as been fairly busy, so has classes. I'm really looking forward to things slowing down for a little bit. I was really excited to see Jen's belly dancing last night but I was so tired I could barely stay awake... Anyway, thats enough for one post I think I'll take a nap and then try to do some unpacking. |

Pictures from the road.
I'm trying out this whole Flickr thing. One day I'll be as good at this as Jen. I really should take more pictures... |

Moving! Part I & II
I think Jen and I are going to try to move over the next two Saturdays (10/20 and 10/27), probably something like 10am-4pm. Its only about 13 miles, South Hadley Center to Florence Center. If you are interested in helping either day send me an email or show up! If not, thats cool too but please don't post, I'm really not interested in a thread of conversation about moving yourself vs professionals, etc... |

Save the Enviroment, Buy a SUV?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270161208439On the one side it makes some sense, "After performing at Live Earth and realizing everyone has a role to play in protecting the environment, Fergie decided to sell her HUMMER and donate all the proceeds to Global Green USA. Auction Cause is also donating carbon emission credits for 10 years to help offset the impact." On the other side, um, thats odd... Its a little like buying cigarettes to help kids stop smoking since cigarette companies pay for those don't smoke ads... |

Music Genome Project
I've been playing a bit with: http://www.pandora.com/Its pretty cool. You create "radio stations" of groups you like and it plays other songs it thinks you'd probably like. In one test I told it I liked "Arrogant Worms" and it played me a good worms song and then played a Moxy Fruvous song. I told it I liked Soul Coughing and it played a crappy Death Cab for Cutie song so I said I didn't like it and it poofed it away and picked a pretty cool song from Cornershop. But this seems to be a really cool music stream of good songs for me. You can also have it mix up different "radio stations" for variety... |
