- Cruise control is awesome, but it is difficult to use it all the time if the acceleration on the car in front of you, in this case an ’89 Oldsmobile, isn’t very good.
- Nikhil is a Leafs fan (boo) and likes Radiohead and other bands that I like (yay). He is very sad to be missing the opening of Spiderman 3 in Imax. I told him we would go when we have an excuse to go into
- Crisia is obsessed with the Pride and Prejudice BBC mini-series and really wants to see the Mists of Avalon miniseries after reading the book. She is also extremely happy that I brought the second season of Lost. I may also have someone who will go see plays with me in
- It is bad to be sleepy when driving through a one-lane highway surrounded by construction with a passenger who is asleep.
- Nikhil and I, both city kids, saw our first tumbleweed and laughed really, really hard. Crisia saw us in her rear-view mirror. Unfortunately I didn’t get a picture

I started posting a comment in an Internet Cafe a few days ago but my computer suddenly cut out... anyways what I was going to say if speaking of mini-series, I just got through the new-ish BBC series
