Because I can can can

Small fact that interests me:
I spent six months living in Oz, and now I have moved to the Emerald City.

Incidentally, what qualifies a fact as small? Can you have a large fact? I hear a "your mom" joke hiding in the background, but I don't have the patience or four-year-old mentality to coax it out.

Now that I am more or less settled in here, I wanted to share a few things. Why? See post subject.

-Parking is expensive! I know the city gets exciting income from parking and all its violations, but can't they have at least some free spots that aren't full of Greeks?
-I think someone is driving a remote control car around the parking lot across the street. Either that or there is an indecently huge spider running around. OR a crow that forgot how to fly. ... Or it's just a plastic bag. Nah, I'll stick with remote control.
-Free internet is a beautiful thing. Especially when it's wireless. And you don't have to walk 2.7km to get to it.
-Say no to drugs; say yes to windows. In this land of so little light, we must treasure every photon of it. I've lived in a basement. No matter how blue you paint the walls or how many sexy posters you put up, basements are cold and dark.
-Sedentary is an excellent word, but a terrible lifestyle. I can't wait to start work again.
-This is the first autumn I've had in two years. So far, it's been exactly what I would hope.
-Pay attention to your words. You never know how they will affect the world around you.
-I like living in Washington, and I am quite enjoying this new adventure I've undertaken, but I must admit that I miss hearing Australian accents every day.

"And so," she said, "let today be a good day full of good things. Let us rejoice in this rare moment of sun. Let us soak in the Vitamin D, and may it stimulate our pituitary with feelings of content and happiness. And let us store these feelings for the long dark winter ahead." And everyone replied, "Huzzah!" Or they would have, if there were anyone around.
