I respect your judgment in this. I've heard you and fellow denizens of this lair speak highly of her performance in Seikei. :) I should watch it.

One day, Beemster. One day.

That would making a rockin' grilled cheese sandwich, I'll bet.

But that's for another thread. :sweat:

That's a darn good idea....but as you implied, I digress. ^_^

i GOTta say that it would be SOMETHING if YOU put it on top of a baked dynamite. :mrgreen: :naughty:

Just wondering if any of you are cutting back on Christmas shopping during these times of ecomic crises? I probably won't be going all out this season. Today $1=93 yen :bleh:

Maybe a little... I don't have a lot of people on my list to begin with.

No.

And people who are expected to buy me gifts shouldn't even consider cutting back.

To not buy me gifts would mean the terrorists have won.

I liked her a lot in Seikei Bijin.. but then that's all I've seen her in :mrgreen:

Finished my first week of my job... and I'm tired. The commute sucks, but the firm seems great so far. It's strange to be respected as a new employee... this whole attorney thing is weird.

<yawns like the cat in Azumanga Daioh> (... I'd give Sakaki something to blush about)

You'll probably get used to the commute.

Our Engineering manager commutes from Mission Viejo to Torrance every day (50+ miles, one way)... That can't be fun, even if it is on a Harley. :sweat:

There's a simple reason why--he's fug. :beaten: Seriously though, he just plays unlikeable roles. I have yet to see him in a role that I don't get irritated or repulsed at.

Haha! Ditto.

How long is the commute? And it sounds like you had a great week. :D Hopefully you post more about it when things get interesting. :)

DAMN!! 50+ miles? That's crazy. I thought 30 miles was long, but this person drives 50 miles both ways? I'd either quit or move. :sweat:

The guys likes Mission Viejo... What can I say? :crazy:

I guess it's closer to his son, who's attending San Diego University.

Are there no jobs in his field that he can get near where he lives? I'm just so dumbfounded about this and it's just hard to comprehend having to drive that much. :nut:

He moved out here from Boston and I think he likes his job here: not a lot of pressure and some interesting travel.

He lived in Mission Viejo in the past and likes the community, I guess.

My old officemate had the same problem: he commuted from Thousand Oaks/Newbury Park to Torrance... But the drive finally got to him and he found a new job.

50+ miles to and from, every day... on a Harley? Trust me... he's not that happy.

So far (six months) he seems to be... He's got all the gear: leather chaps, jacket, bandana, helmet, boots, backpack. :)

6 months. Which means he hasn't hit the rainy seaon yet. That'll chip away at the joy.

Thing is... when it's a commute, the same freeways everyday, for all that time, the fun just goes out of motorcycling. And a Harley is NOT the most comfortable of rides.

For a while there I was teaching at 3 different schools, all seperated by real California distances and I rode my bike from one to the other to the other and back every day for a couple of years. Eventually I stashed the bike in a shed and went out and bought an old clunker of a Volvo, just so that I could sit down someplace out of the wind.

For the longest time I wouldn't even take the bike out on the weekends to play.

When the rain finally shows itself, he'll switch over to his 18mpg Jeep Wrangler. :beaten:

I've been doing a similar commute, for over 13 years...
