aw man...

i went out to my car last night to go to my soccer game, and i noticed something was amiss with the looks of the driver's side part of the vehicle.  it turns out what was amiss(ing) was the side mirror.  i found it in 2 pieces a good 10 feet or more in front of my car.  the glass was gone and i couldn't find it anywhere.

my car was parked on the street (the only place i can park it) and in front of my house.  i'm thinking it was either a snowplow's doing, or some jerk that doesn't know how to drive properly (of which there are many, many on the roads).

this is annoying.  it would be less annoying though if somehow my mirror being torn off would not have affected my door.  it doesn't look at all like anything but the mirror was hit, but now my driver side door won't open from the outside.  locked or unlocked, it will not open.  i can get out that door, but not in once it's shut.  this means i'll be using the passenger door to get into my car.  this means that this is even more annoying because i park on the street all the time, and on the passenger side of the street there are large piles of snow.  bullocks.

it is much harder to merge onto the highway without that mirror to help.

it is very cold outside before 8am.  probably after too.

i get to bring music in to my music listening class on tuesday, for everybody to listen to.  i'm having a hard time deciding what to bring.  the teacher says it has to be someting that we think will stand the test of time, something that we'll like years from now, 20 or 30.

i really don't think i'll bring in Thrice.  i feel like i want to bring in something more obscure or different than thrice.  they're my favorite band and all, but i feel like i want something that is more unique.

right now i'm thinking of La Dispute or Judgement Day.

considering Portugal. The Man too.

a substantially shrunken music collection makes this a little more difficult, but i'll do.

exciting.
