Danny and Leah
Just a quick notice: Eric over at EVula.net (where this blog is hosted) has set up two new users for us, so I can post as Danny and Leah as Leah. Much more elegant than the solution we resorted to intermittently in our previous posts, for which I apologize. But things are all better now. Thanks Eric!
grrRRR!
I hate getting parking tickets, especially when I do stupid things like put in one quarter, know it won't be enough and therefore plan to go back and add more money after I get some from Leah, and then entirely forget to do so. I went in to the store tonight to help her sort the cds in the 400-disc changer (making me all the more glad I don't have to deal much with those irritating pieces of plastic), and parking for the whole deal came to.. um.. $35.75. I don't mind the money so much as my own idiocy.
Ah well. Speaking of the joys of not having to deal with lots of cds, I went to Radio Shack and picked up a new speaker set. I'm kind of disappointed with it, cause while it has an pretty good subwoofer, the volume control is on one of the satellite speakers, and the other uses a stereo jack. So in otherwords, I'm stuck with these crappy little satellite speakers, which I think are even worse than the Cambridge Soundworks ones I was planning to use with the other subwoofer. But all that's nothing, when compared with the joy of being able to listen to my music again.
On another subject, my mango (that I bought a long time ago to make into salsa) finally got ripe, so I ate it, and boy was it good. I didn't like mangos when I was little, this one was a different story. I was making it into fruit salad (with banana and one of the little grapefruits we got today at the farmers' market), and after I cut off all the bits I could I gnawed on the pit some to get the rest of the meat and juice out, and it was about the best thing I ever tasted. I vowed then to only eat mangoes from that point on, and though after I ate the rest of it (in the salad) my stomach kinda hurt and I backed off from my resolution, I still am a fan. Mangoes++
