it's not life that matters but the journey...

well the best thing going on here is that it's finally getting warm enough that the snow might melt by the end of the week. I know that when I was living in a place where snow is rare, I missed it. but if you have to miss a day of work, and dig your car out from about 3 or 4 inches of the stuff, and slide around on icy, messy roads, then snow is no longer fun. in fact, when I finally go through my icons, the first I'll toss is the "let it snow" one. it's cute, but I'm ready for spring!

this weekend was just a blur. I ended up working late Friday and then after running around doing errands and getting dinner, I didn't get home until after 7 p.m. I couldn't sleep that night because my downstairs neighbors were whooping and hollering (literally shouting) at all hours, waking me up and making me severely angry. I had to complain to the management, and I guess they've since been reprimanded. I am so so tired of apartment living!! So I woke up late Saturday and then spent half the day waiting to get an oil change on my car. Next weekend I have the lovely task of getting the emissions testing! let's hope it passes the inspection - somehow, miraculously the "check engine" light has gone off. but does that really mean that the engine is good? who knows! My husband did manage to fix the broken automatic window again - though it's temperamental and could stop working anytime. sometimes I think my Nissan is possessed, but it's really quite a good little car.

I watched the best movie on Saturday night - Half Nelson with Ryan Gosling (who is, by the way, nominated for best actor for this role). ( cut for my review )

that being said, Ryan Gosling is quickly becoming one of my top 5 favorite actors, and hot guys. He is at number three, just behind Jake, and Johnny Depp. the other top two? Cillian Murphy, and Ralph Fiennes. but don't worry - I still love Jensen and Jared:)

and in case you don't know who Ryan is, ( here's some nice photos of him to tempt you )
