At least the rain stopped

It is frickin' cold out. Not that I should be complaining, as this is the weather I grew up with ( yay, Oregon weather is sort of back to normal ) but damn... I think it rained more in the first 72 hours of this year then it did in the first 72 days of last year, also was unseasonably hot last year.

But damn... Cold. Hasn't been above 50 in a while I think, but at least it doesn't drop below 40 either. Just stays cold and rather damp.

Fully aware that some ( or maybe many ) of you who read this live in colder places then I am, and I am being a bit whiny about it. Also expect however that you live in homes that are better insulated and have better furnaces than my crappy oil one (which will cost me about the same as two and a half months rent to refill the oil tank on once it runs out this year ( freaking gas / oil prices... )).

Anyways, home from being out for the day and whining about the weather while I wait for the space heater in my bathroom to get that room to a temperature that allows feet to survive contact with the tile floor.

Also, waiting on my email to download. Someone sent me a file that is close to 8meg and my poor little weenie dial-up connection is choking on it. Which also reminds me that I have an apparently big patch to download for CoX still since it has been about.. uh.. twelve days since I've logged in from my home machine and actually played. Oi...

Email was music, which is all good. Though I am thinking if people are going to email me mp3's I might put thought into setting up an email box for just that. Hmm.

And hmm. Need to update my winamp to handle .m4a files, serves me right I guess for not having updated for ages.

Oops. Sorry about that. I totally forgot you had dial-up. Mea culpa.
