No.

I've been fascinated by cars all my life

The Christmas I was six years old, there was a gold Matchbox Lamborghini Countach in my stocking.

It joined my train set under the tree for spectacularly staged races and crashes. I've been a car addict ever since.

In May of 2008 I saw "Top Gear" on BBC America for the first time

"Top Gear" brought me back the bright excitement with cars.

It's the first program that's had me in front of the set faithfully every week in years.

I've enjoyed the columns and books by Mr. Clarkson and Mr. May.

They've nudged me to start writing again. Even if it's only for a bit of we based fun.

I've posted scans of some of my crafty projects. You can view them on Flickr!

Right now my unfinished first attempt at an altered book is posted.

I hope to scan my sketchbook soon.

Justine, is a little bit more than you'd expect. This is where you are supposed to put your "elevator speech". What you'd say if you were in the elevator with somebody you wanted to connect with. I don't have an "elevator speech". If I ran smack-dab into one of my "heroes" I'd just have to smile and be polite and keep my yipper shut and that's probably for the best anyway!

Entirely Too Wicked....
I found this video on You Tube. It's the "Doctor" sort of....at his athletic best.

I found the video after I started having the dreams........

This is for you Cuz. Enjoy the laugh!

Break on through to the other side.....
I back. Sort of.

I can't tell you where I've been for the last two weeks.

Physically, I've been right here. Slogging away moving boxes, fighting companies, studying Oracle, trying not to freeze, juggling everything....and being exhausted.

But really I've been somewhere else. I'm not the same as I was two weeks ago. I'm different somehow. I'll never be the same as I was. That is probably a very good thing.

Since I've moved in ,I've started sleeping like the comatose. Probably because I'm exhausted beyond belief.

Three nights running last week I had dreams about Dr. Who. Since there have been 10 actors who have played Dr. Who over the last 30 years, I'll let you guess which actor I dreamed about. But let's just say I like them skinny with a big nose.

Now what on earth it means when you dream about having wild relations with a time lord...I don't know. I'm going to take it as a good omen...signalling the end to problems with the past.

I went to settlement on January 26th and already I've had to contract for about 1500 bucks worth of work on the house. The front door is being replaced, the back door is being insulated and all the electrical outlets in the living room and bedroom are being replaced. Also I found out the house heating system isn't strong enough to heat the whole house.

But a new furnace and AC are already budgeted for in 2008.

Meanwhile I'm working with a head hunter to find a new job. Something that pays 15K to 20K more a year so I can afford the house I just bought. Something that uses the skills I worked 14 years to hone and pays for the experience.

The doctor gave me some nice medicine to help me relax and go to sleep....I haven't even gotten the script filled yet. Perhaps tomorrow. Tomorrow I go back the pit.

Time to be someone else somewhere else.

Well Cuz be in touch! You can call the old number and the recording will give you the new number.

Maybe Dr. Who will show up again tonight. He's very athletic, gangly, and limber. And he keeps my mind off the mortgage!
