it's (getting warmer) out there for a pimp I haven't seen all the movies nominated for Best Picture Oscars last night, just Crash and Munich. Still I think that Crash was a well deserved win.

Windows open today at the office, it's starting to slowly get warmer outside. Up on the third floor looking out onto busy Atwells Ave. I am constantly hearing the traffic drive by, sirens speed through the stoplights, trucks making food deliveries. Usually because of the Itallian neighborhood and subsequent restaurants around there's a repetitive soundtrack of Sinatra and Louis Prima that plays throughout my day. But today there was a heavy amount of rap music in the air. Is it because a rap song won an Oscar last night? Yeah, right. It's because Spring is right around the corner. It's because the sun is shining, and drivers can roll down their windows as they cruise through town. This is just a slice of America today, in the city. At 38 degrees Fahrenheit (hey, it's above freezing).  ¶ 3/06/2006 03:39:00 PM
