the most fun i've had in a car in a long long time

easy kitties, don't get any dirty ideas. i really did have the most fun in a car i've had in a very long time. we got our first shipment of 07 Spyders yesterday. so, i took a GT 6speed home last night. top down, stereo blasting, flying up the beltway at 1030 last night.

so much goddamned fun.

funny looking or not, if that car doesn't put a smile on your face you are retarded. or a republican or something. same thing.

brussels

yes my kitties, i know i have denied you a post for quite a while, so i'm going to take a minute and give you a quick update.

im here in brussels visiting friends for a few days. my computer apparently wasn't in the mood to speak french or dutch, so im using their mac for a few minutes to put this up.

to bring you up to speed, i spent the majority of february working my butt off to hit our mitsubishi goal, visiting my mom in NJ, drinking and uh, well, one other thing i shouldn't have done. and no, im not telling you what that thing is. so there.

so on march 1st my bankruptcy came off my credit report. 10 years is a long long long time to wait. but, it feels really good to know its over with. that represented a really rough time for me, and im glad its done.

i left for belgium (also on 3/1), eric dropped me off at dulles 2 1/2 hours before my flight. you would think that would have been enough time, but apparently you now need to leave like 9 hours before an international flight. i literally waited in line at the ticket counter for an hour and a half, then baggage, then security. i barely made my flight. i figured i'd have enough time to get a starbucks, smoke a cigarette, have a nosh, and get on the plane. but no, i made it to the gate at like 530, and the plane took off at 542. gross.

***note to united airlines: it might be a good idea to have more than 4 ticket agents working when there are about 700 people waiting at the international counter.

anyway, my flight was fine, the plane was practically empty. made it through customs in like 2 seconds, grabbed my bag and jumped in a taxi. 15 minutes later i was at my friends house. its a very nice 4 level townhouse in downtown brussels. great location, close to shops, trams, metro, etc. we've just been chilling, eating good food, walking around the city...basic stuff. like what i do at home. only in french. thank god they speak french. ha.

a special shout out to alyssa and doug for being such great hosts. merci :)

ok kitties, i'll be back in a couple of days. if i get around to taking some pictures while im here, i'll post them for you.
