The Republican Bailout

This week was a bit of an adventure. The snow and ice have finally gotten to me. The truck was completely immobile for days, and then when I finally got around to moving it, it got very stuck in the ice in the alley behind my house. The neighbor got all upset and then the truck was towed. When I went down to the city impound lot, I couldn't get my car out of hoc because I still didn't have the license, and therefore, it wasn't registered in my name. It then became a waiting game- waiting for the title, then figuring out which BMV was open and could do what I needed (which was a lot more complicated and time-consuming than I thought), then the huge lines at the BMV, then going to the impound lot and finally getting the truck back. I am now in a false fight with my neighbor, and considerably worried for my truck which still has to contend with lots of ice around Columbus. Good thing I have a couple of things to take my mind of that lame truck and neighbor. This weekend Jason came to town and I saw Coraline, Slumdog Millionaire, the Broadway show Spring Awakening, and the ballet Jazz Moves 2. Coraline was great, even if I can't see in 3D, Slumdog has slipped into my favorite nomination for Best Picture, Spring Awakening was a very good and interesting commentary on repression, and Jazz Moves provided that money spent on Balletmet Columbus is always well spent. Next week I am supposed to continue see the Andy Warhol exhibit. A group of us tried to see it this week but got carried on at dinner and ended up arriving for the exhibit 5 minutes until it closed. It seems that more than anything this week, I need a lesson in timing.
