February 11th markes my 6th month at the Extended Stay America. Let's take a look back:
Multiple internet outages.
Multiple power outages.
One power outage resulted in my groceries going bad.
4 different rooms.
One room flooded.
The toilet ran in one room.
The tub ran in another.
Broken A/C in one room.
My car was damaged.
It's been a hell of a year. Let's put that behind us now, and move forward.
Well. I just ordered a phone, and DSL. I'll have 3.0Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up with 8 static IP's. I'm going to need my Solaris server soon. Hee-hee! Might even replace my FreeBSD box with linux. Gentoo or Slack probably. I want to play with Ampache.
The way I see it, Japanese cars are ugly. I mean, butt-ugly. But, (at least before they started making them in the states) they were well put together and represented quality. So, despite many American's finding these cars ugly, they purchased them. American car makes saw the trend toward buying these ugly Japanese cars, and so started making American cars which looked like Japanese cars. Two items. No one will ever get a Chevrolet Aveo confused with a Toyota. And now America is filled with ugly Japanese-style cars. Nice.
