blah.

sorry for the stretch of quiet. there's just nothing good to report this month - i turned 29 (yuck), there's been no progress / responses to resumes when it comes to moving to CA (owch), i am getting weekly accupuncture treatments for ongoing allergies which are not necessarily working and not cheap... yadda yadda.

this past weekend i was a little cheered up because we had a heavy rain day, good for being lazy on saturday, and then gorgeous "flip flop weather" on sunday which was refreshing. knowing Spring in colorado, it will at least snow a few more times before we're in the clear, but i'm content with a couple warm weekends in between!

so here's a couple fun news stories of the weekend:

united way got free advertising on saturday night live over the weekend! yeee! it won't be on youtube for long but you can always go to snl.com.

yessss! finally silver spoons season 1 is on DVD. a true 80's classic! now i just need punky brewster to complete my collection. (kidding, i never watch dvd's of television. i prefer tvland)

and one for the "why didn't we think of this" file.
according to popcandy blog:
"Before the Internet, if three friends [or two roommates] wanted to take a road trip, they just hopped in a cruddy car [such as an '84 dodge minivan with a stickshift] and traveled where the wind [the alcohol, oh - i mean - the wind] took them. Now there are things like CashRoadTripUSA.com. The premise: Three friends want to travel across the country, but first they're selling ad space on every inch of their van. Ads cost $100 per square. The website just launched, so a lot of van space is still available. The gang is also offering the chance to wear company T-shirts during the journey. That can cost up to $7,500 a day, if you want a female to wear the shirt."

$7500 is more than our entire road trip (including the car) itself cost. but then again, we broke down in shasta. with a few thousand dollars, we probably could have bought a newer (like a VW!) van. but then again, after all my stickers were on the car, there wasn't much room for ad space.
