When exactly did a "sun roof" become a "moon roof"? Honestly, what's the point of that kind of name change? "Sun roof" just rolls off the tongue so nicely...

Precisely the reason they changed it. Much more difficult to get your psychopathic citizen living atop a hill with a larger than usual lightning rod attached to his residence going "sun roof, SUN ROOF, SUNNN ROOOOOOF, HA! HAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" if it was called moon roof. All the girls would go "like, what did you say? like, what's a sun roof? like dude, chill out, like your so like my friend Mandy like when its her time! Yee-eah!"

Agreed. We had a Grand Prix GTP. Best car we've ever owned. The gas prices started to rise here and we traded for a Pontiac Vibe. Talk about a downgrade:( The biggest thing I miss about that car is that it had leather and heated seats. Not looking forward to January anymore...

Hey Mustafa, this is getting ridiculous... I grew up in a Ford family and have always preferred Fords. Although since Ford wasn't too common in Israel when we moved here ('85), we ended up buying a Peugeot. Since then we've had a series of Peugeots or Citroens (same company). If I was in the States though, I'd probably buy a Ford.
Holy bits and bites! Where've you been man? I sent you an email a while back but it bounced back. How're things?

Picked up my sister and her friend Jaynee (honestly, who calls their daughter that?) from the airport coming back from San Francisco. This is Jaynee's first time out of California. It gets annoying as hell talking to her after saying "hello". I feel sorry for my mom and dad because she's staying with them for the next 2 weeks :doh:

I think it is because moon and tune rhyme. I still call it a sun roof.
I didn't get any requirements for the signature

I believe that Pontiac had a "sun and fun" package that was similar on their cars. Might have been Chrysler. I can't remember because we shopped too many dealers when we were looking for our current cars:)

Wow dude! You're a published author! How cool is that! Next time I leave Jordan to places with better books, I'll hunt yours down and buy my own copy :) You might have to wait till January though...

Mine's more entertaining! For instance, just last week this guy got onto the train painted solid gold... Skin, clothes, everything... The costume looked kind of like the Johnny Depp version of Willy Wonka (But again, all painted gold)... Just got on the train with all of us rush hour commuters, didn't make a sound, didn't perform or anything... Rest of us are exchanging glances... He got off a few stops later... I was the first one to speak... "Only in New York..."

Huh? At dusk? It turns back into a sun roof at dawn. :)

You guys don't have books in Jordan? :) I kid, I kid... It's online anyway... Can get it as a PDF if you don't want to deal with shipping... Not quite the same as having a physical copy, of course.

They do, but the selection is no where near what I'd like it to be. More's the pity because I splurge on books.

Really? Hmmm... just point me to it!

amazon, no matter what they say, ship to Jordan with an insane mark up. I don't buy from them anymore.

Sadly, that's true. Oh my God, you've accomplished something I've always wanted, you have to tell me what its like!

The link in my sig has links to Amazon, B&N, and to my publisher. It really is an amazing feeling, holding the first printed copy in your hands... One of two truly happy memories I have now... I'm sure there were more good memories at one point, but if I've forgotten them, they couldn't have been that great. The nice thing is that nowadays, you don't have to sell your soul (Metaphorically speaking) to a huge corporation to get published anymore... Can go the print-on-demand route, invest a bit, and keep control. Oh, and if you have a major bookstore near you, can probably get them to special order it... There are online retailers in the UK, India, China, and Australia (That I know of) listing it, so I know it's accessible. Just need the ISBN on my site (978-1-60145-801-8). Now I just need to make as much money as I can from wall street, retire early, and start writing full-time... After a full day at the office, I can rarely manage more than 2-3 pages... Was writing 10-15 a day when I got laid off last year.
