several times a year I get this insatiable urge to move to pittsburgh; eventually I might have to fulfill this. unfortunately this particular urge coincides with the 'burg's being named the sootiest city in the US. sootiest. eh, I like soot. love me some soot. soot, soot, soot. no problem. I think I've finally decided on what neighborhood I'd like, too: chatham village. it's mostly populated by older folks, but $80k for a two bedroom townhome on mount washington? bring on the golden agers.

gripe: the other day I was getting coffee in starbucks (which is what I tend to do there) and noticed a policeman sitting down enjoying his beverage. nothing wrong with that. in fact, I'd go so far as to say that cops deserve coffee more than many people. however. this one had left his cruiser running outside. yep. hanging out with his coffee while the old crown vic sucked down the taxpayers' money and helped thin out the ozone layer. was he planning on being able to make a quick getaway? sure didn't look like it. and it really doesn't take that long to start a car. this would have irritated me enough without gas prices being what they are. grr.

I'm don't usually drool over daniel radcliffe the way most people seem to. but...um...well...um...







okay, that's as good a place to leave off a post as any.
