Well, I bought her the week after "A Hole in the World". And she was blue. It all fit!

I'm a little disturbed because Winifred is my grandma's name. But she's a Wynn not a Fred. But "Winifred's a great ride.' is gonna freak me out.

it must be relatively recent because Japan has had some very important Empresses.

Back many posts to the Princess Aiko thing...the Japanese folks who are claiming to be "conservative" and opposing a female Empress are fervent, but a bit lax in their history. Prior to the US setting up the rules of How Japan Works after WWII, the Emperor could be either male or female. So oddly, their conservative resistence should be phrased as "We want to keep doing things just like the US said!" instead of "We want to keep doing things like they've always been done!"

Most opinion polls in Japan show that the Japanese would be okay with Empress Aiko, but the royal family is addressing and prepping the people now, which is smart.

Of course, this is a country where you can buy schoolgirls' undies from vending machines, so who's to say if a female monarch would be a good idea.

Is it cute or slightly disturbing that your cars have matching names? If anyone here calls their car Amy Acker, I'm going to vote for disturbing.

HEE! We actually discussed this after the dinner out night for the Beantown leg of Nilly Tour 2004.

In may case, she's a blue Honda Civic, on it's second owner, and while not quite as strong as she used to be, still quite a good car given that she's a decade old. What else was I going to call her?

Maybe I should call my decade (okay 11 years) old blue Honda Civic Amy.

Son of a Bitch! Our rent pays for snow removal, and my roomate and I have been sitting right here in the living room all morning. The plow guy is supposed to honk when he gets here so we can run out and move our cars for him. I don't think he likes to wait the approximate two minutes it takes us to get on boots and get outside, so he just doesn't honk, and completely plows us in. Rat Bastard!!

That's right, we did figure out the car thing then, didn't we?

Gronklies all!

Just in the awfice for half a day today, as I have the afternoon off to run around and do paperwork errands. Thrill! We're having a farewell lunch for one of my colleagues and I may have to miss it.

I just had to explain the math behind lotteries to a co-worker. Why me? I'm an English major.

Bummer, Lilty. Not taht I really know your pain, as I have never lived in a place that had these "snow" and "plows" you speak of, but it certainly sounds bad.

My blue Toyota Corolla is totally not an Amy.
