My favorite part of my commute is my Urban Cowboy. He wears a beat-up leather jacket, tan cowboy hat (duh), boots, and Levis. He always has a cup of coffee, and he always yells “THANK YOU BUS DRIVER” when he gets off at 6th. He always offers his seat to the ladies (sometimes it’s me!) and never stands in the way of the doors.

I was at Edo buying shampoo with Naomi the other day, and he walked by with his yellow lab (!!!).

“Look, Naomi! It’s my cowboy!”
The receptionist looked out the window. She sighed.
“The Urban Cowboy, don’t you just love him?” She said.

Yes, Edo receptionist, yes I do.

As I was leaving work today, rather late and rather lonely, I saw these two girls walking together. For reasons inexplicable to me, one girl was holding an ENORMOUS leaf. And it was orange. It was the 5 pointed kind (some New Englander I am…), maybe a maple, maybe an oak. To any extent, it me made me even sadder for the East Coast.

You can’t get maple sugar candy here.
There will be no “first snow.”

Oh well.

Last week, Molly said that true geeks actually register their domain name, and don’t just continue to use their .blogspot address. Well, she said that in so many words. However, www.musicmedicine.com is already taken! In fact, all the good extentions are taken, and I’d only be left with .gov or .biz. Lame. So what the hell am I gonna register?

Help me think of a good name and I’ll send you a present. I promise. Should I be super professional and called it veronicabelmont.com? That looks HORRIBLE. Gross, I hate it. Pick something better for me, I’m lazy.

love,
Veronica

Ian bought the video-enabled iPod last week, and boy-oh-boy have we had a good time with it! Watching episodes of Lost (how did I NOT watch this show when it came out the first time??), playing with video hacks (thanks Engadget!), and just plain old oogling. We hooked it up to thje TV just fine, and we’ve started to think of some interesting projects to use it for. More updates to follow.

So, I’ve been getting some comments on when the next Tired Thumbs is coming, and I assure you… SOON! Charlie and I have had some scheduling issues, life issues, etc. Hopefully one this week. If I can tear myself away from WoW. I’ll try.

I finally tossed the old $20 CRT monitor and got a new BenQ FP91E. It’s very nice looking, but the display isn’t the best for graphics and text (wait… isn’t that just about everything?). But it’s still a lot sleeker than the old Triniton, and doesn’t have a giant scratch in the middle. w00t!
