silicon valley = snow valley

±Ý¿äÀÏ ¾Æħ: this morn, as i walked sooni, i saw snow on the east n' west mountains!   awesome!   as i drove north on lawrence expwy to werk, while on the overpass by costco, i got a good view'f the decently thick snow on the eastern mtns, not just mt. ham, but also the foothills n' those hills over by milpitas n' fremont.   ugh, i must drive up to the snow!!!   i hope ppl r taking good pix'f this snow.   it's amazing, sumpthin' really amazing!   i tried to google up some pix'f "san jose snow" but didn't find nething good.   i did find this odd page: san jose's oldest snowball (http://www.oldestsnowball.com/).   hrm, this page cms to have decent san jose snow pix: "snow in san jose" (http://homepage.mac.com/rbarline/PhotoAlbum9.html).   snow's great, i tell u.   snow snow snow!   *sigh* what if i ran 'way from this silicon valley engineer's life n' became a total snowboard bum.   *sigh* yah, i wish i could be a pro.snowboarder.   *sigh* what a far.fetched, kiddie dream, eh?   that sure sounds like sumpthin' a stoopid, li'l kid'd say; yet i'm a 30 yr.old man saying that. :-/ obviously, sometimes, i just wanna "bust out'f my life."   it's that "despite all my rage, i'm still just a rat in a cage"* thing.

ad: so i hear march's dummies month @ amazon: for dummies books @ amazon   buy 2 for dummies books, get 1 free n' get a $5 rebate on each'f the 2 books u pay 4.   not a bad deal, huh?

konsumerisme in amerika: (i figured the extraneous "e" @ the end'f "konsumerisme"'d make it look a li'l more euro in the 1980s red flag "russian radio" fashion.)   i hear ppl talkin' 'bout giant external hard drive's, n' that makes me want 1 a li'l.   sure, i recently bought an external dvd burner.   thankfully, i aktually made $$$ on that pur¢ha$e cos i used my ¢redit ¢ard rewards pts to buy it n' then also got a rebate.   however, that's konsumerisme nonetheless, rt?

[later] wow, singer/aktor ÀÓâÁ¤ lim changjung n' aktress ±èÇöµÎ kim hyunjoo got married?   u can c a short article n' some pix on y!: http://kr.news.yahoo.com/bestclick/shellview2.html?articleid=2006031018523431670.
