$5 a gallon coming soon? On May 27th I posted that gas prices were, on average, "$4.30 9/10th" around here -- though the station by our house was $4.03. Well here we are June 7th and those $4.30 9/10th stations are now $4.59 9/10 - $4.69 9/10th today. Enjoy, $5 isn't far off. Hell maybe we'll copy my friends, the Dutchies soon and be at $11 or so a gallon. The news said that scooters that are freeway approved are on backorder at local stores as they cost about 3k but cost virtually nothing to fill up and you can go 100+ miles on that $6 or so tank of gas. Guess instead of playing the spot the Prius game I'll soon have to switch to the spot the scooter game.

Anyway, headache... gonna try the sleep thing, didn't get enough of it today and tomorrow is Universal Studios day. They're open 10-7 I think? And we plan to go around noon or so, but Brian tends to be late so more like 1 I bet. But it takes me forever to fall asleep, I'm way behind on sleep, and my head is killing me, so hmm let's see if I can sleeeep now. 11:30. I so rarely sleep at night, this should be fun,.

Gas Tax Holiday

nobody@vox.com(DelusionalAngel) — Tue, 06 May 2008 11:51:45 -0700

Ok people, do your research.
A. The gas tax holiday won't pass
B. The economic experts almost all say it's "political pandering", bad policy, will probably raise gas prices, will put people out of work, will stop road construction, etc
C. As much as gas prices suck umm yeah it could be worse, the news mentioned my Dutchies... they pay FOUR DOLLARS A GALLON IN TAXES ALONE. We must use a hell of a lot more than they do. So we create the demand and hurt the environment, but they're paying in taxes what we're paying total... so umm yeah we have it easy.

In summary, if you're voting and are making your decisions based on things like who CLAIMS they'll give you a few months break on gas taxes (without telling you what it will really cost you) or who has a bad former minister or who might be a Muslim (yeah I'm hearing on the news that e-mail is still going around -- I never got it, I have smart friends), then do me a favor and educate yourself before going to the polls.

Bad Americans, I denounce and reject you!

nobody@vox.com(DelusionalAngel) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 21:35:41 -0700

Mijn Favoriet and I had a chat and decided that today I am not an American, so just in time for Koninginnedag, I must unofficially denounce my American citizenship (sorry can't do it officially, there IS an election this year) just so no opponents can try to cause me any grief -- I DENOUNCE AND REJECT YOU ALL. I'm now a non-Dutch-Speaking Dutchie so as not to be tainted by you back baring ev0l corrupt sinners! Once you clean up your act and stop being so disgusting I'll consider rejoining you!

Taliban kills Dutch military chief's son...

nobody@vox.com(DelusionalAngel) — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 12:11:45 -0700

And didn't know he was in the car...

But targeted him deliberately.

I think the Taliban needs to work on it's PR.
And where is this Afghanistan place? I never hear about it...

Dutchie music!

nobody@vox.com(DelusionalAngel) — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 16:42:30 -0700

Wudstik makes me <3 Dutchies more, even if I only understand when he sings in English. heh.
I think the best I heard of him was his cover of India's song... Hmm actually, maybe not best but still a favorite of mine for some reason.

Wudstik - India' Song

Funny thing about me being awake during the day, I feel like I'm trying to be more productive than my usual awake during the night self, and yet somehow I'm getting less done.

Do you have a hangover... or a cat?

nobody@vox.com(DelusionalAngel) — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 04:49:17 -0800

Adventures in Dutch:
Krizzzzzzz (I think I change how many zzzzzzzzzzs he gets each time I type that, heh) sent me the first holiday card I received this year and it was DUTCH! I didn't know enough Dutch to know a key punchline word (clearly I did know it was a humorous card) but I did figure out most of it without cheating ;) Looking at the word I had guessed cat but figured that might not make sense, so I asked a Dutchie. I showed him the full sentence, gave him my translation minus that word, and asked him what it was. He said hangover. Later when Mijn Favoriet woke up I told him I learned a word for hangover, he asked me what, I told him, he ha ha'd and told me that means tomcat. Then I told him the sentence, and he told me indeed or a hangover. heh. Ahh the joys of being a wannabe Dutchie! They always confuse me!

Winter is here:
My holiday cards arrived today though I might not be able to mail them next weekend as Brian might have to work. IF he works next weekend, we won't be doing our holiday mailing until the 15th. You know what that means? That means that the two cards I am sending to Dutchieland will likely arrive on time, the one to the UK will also likely arrive on time, and the rest probably won't as mail within the states SUCKS. Luckily since I'm not sending many this year, I won't feel too bad.

I realize mom's had snow already so I can't whine as we don't exactly get snow. But we did have rain (which we needed so that was good). But it's dropped about 15 degrees in one day. Which for those of you in snowland would still be toasty, but for So Cal is brrrrrrr. We could see our breath when we went shopping tonight so I call that cold. My body isn't happy. Sudden weather changes make my body grrr.

Art:
Brrr = turned the heater on and hid under the blankies drawing, which is being turned into a digital drawing now. It's either going to be good... or disappoint me a lot.

I started this post with plenty of zzzzzs and time to end it with them as it's Zzzzzzzzz time.
